JHOW
AN ELABORATE
SUCCESS
WITH CLOSING CONCERT OF THE
ARTILLERY BAND AT THE HIGH
SCHOOL LAST NIGHT, FESTlVl-
TIES COME TO CLOSE.

The first annual Style Show of the
Ardmore Business Mems association
is now history, and if there is a men,
| Der of the association who regrets
the effort it cost to produce such a
fete, his identity has not been made
known. The Business Mems asso-
citation has every reason to be proud
of their first effort and are enthusias-
tically proclaiming that the second
annual show next year will surpass
their initial attempt.

realized that one of the prime requi-
sites was fine music. With this OBJ
ject in view, they got into communi
cation with the director of the Fifth
Field Artillery Band, United States
army, stationed at Fort Sill, and sue
ceeded in securing their services for
the week. The band was a great hit
at every appearance, and left the city
with a reputation that will not soon
be forgotten.
From the opening day until the
close there was something of interest
being shown the thousands of visit
ors who thronged the city, and the
merchants constantly had on dis
play their finest wares. 1t was
profitable week for the business men,
although they took more time in en-
tertaining the visitors than they did
in selling goods.
The automobile exhibit at the cor
ner of Main and C street was a dis
tinctive feature that attracted many
visitors. Many makes of cars were
displayed and the demonstrators have
reported several sales during the
week. The out-of-town demonstrators
expressed complete satisfaction to the
management of the show, and de-
parted we'll satisfied with their weeks
efforts.
The crowning event of the week
was the floral parade Monday after
noon, when some of the most elabo-
rately decorated cars imaginable were
in line. Visitors from other cities
who have viewed parades of this
character in larger cities stated that
it surpassed in many particulars the
shows they had witnessed, and were
surprised that a city the size Of Ard
more should attempt such an elabo-
rate affair.
From every standpoint, the show
was an elaborate success, and the
officers and members of the associa-
ton can congratulate themselves
upon the efforts they made to show
the outside world that the terrible
calamity which visited the city the
past year has not dampened the Ard
more spirit, and has advertised to
the state that whatever happens Ard
more business men can forget their
troubles and royalty entertain Wis
itors.

Washington, April 13.-Carranza in
a note arriving at the Mexican en-
bassy today asks the withdrawal of
the American troops from Mexico.
new issue in the already complicated
situation, the outcome of which Of
fetal Washington is reticent to pre-
dict, until the communication has
been considered carefully, and the
probable reply of the United States
given out.
II is understood that the Mexican
government contends that the Ameri-
cans crossed the line without per-
mission and should be withdrawn un-
til formal compact has been enter
ed into between the two govern
nents.
In official quarters it was stated
that the American troops would not
be withdrawn at present, and while
the question is being discussed, the
pursuit of Villa will be continued
with renewed vigor.
Although Carranza has raised side
issues, the main question was that the
punitive expeditions object has been
accomplished, as far as it could be,
and the Villistas dispersed.
War department officials say they
have no evidence that the bandit
bands have been exterminated.
State department officials took the
view that the note was not demand
for withdrawal, but an invitation for
negotiations to limit the stay OF the
Americans.
It was announced that the negotia-
tions will be conducted exclusively
by Secretary Lansing.

A custom something like that was
carried on in England and France for
many centuries, and for a time was
very popular among the higher classes.
At one time it was customary for
both sexes to make presents to each
other, but afterwards it was restricted
to young men who were supposed to re-

service of their valentines.
The festival was introduced into
America at an early day, but it is be-

St. Valentine.
(By Alice Connel.)

10y Alice COnneL1
Valentine was a little known saint
and martyr of the third century, whose
day is kept on February 18th. He is
said to have cured the blind daughter
of a certain AsteriuS who had been
charged by the Emperor Claudius to
win him back to paganism, but who
was converted to Christianity.
Valentine was accordingly imprisoned
tortured, and finally beheaded.
1t is impossible to trace any connec-
ton between his story and the celebra-
ton afterwards connected with his day.
1t has been suggested that this may be
a survival, with Christian sanction.

ed In the month of February, at which
it was customary to put the names of
young women into a box, from which
they were drawn out by the young
men.

The Christian must answer this
question many times. In his business
and social relationhip he is continu'
ally called upon to decide for or
against Jesus, Those not Christians
must answer this question tonight,
Jesus is standing on trial still,
You can be false to Him if You will,
You can be faithful through good or
i'll,

fore Christ some day. The question
then will be, What will Jesus do with
me? But remember, the answer to
this question is determined by what
you do with Jesus

EVANGELIST MAKES
A STIRRING APPEAL
What shall / Do with jesus Is Sub
ject of Effective Sermon at Chris.
tian Church Services

Evangelist Pagan made another
strong appeal Tor the Christian life in
his sermon at the Christian church
last night. The subject was, What
Shall l Do With Jesus" based on Pi-
lates question found in Mat. 27:22.
| The evangelist said: This is a per-
sonal question that comes to one and
all, 1t cannot be evaded. Plate tried
to evade this question. He sent Jesus
to Herod, but Herod sent him back
to PLATE. Then he tried to place the
responsibility on the Jews by placing
before them both Barabbas and
Christ, and asking them to choose.
Likewise many today try to shift the
responsibility by finding fault with
the preacher, or the church, or by
pointing to some old hypocrite. Your
salvation does not depend on what
you think Of me, but it does depend
on what you do with Jesus What
Jesus will do with you in the day Of
judgment is determined by what you
do with Jesus here.
PLATE goes down in history as the,
man who failed. Why? Because he
did the wrong thing with Jesus. He
decided against him. So You and
will be failures if We decide against
the Christ The world may pat us
on the back and call us good fellows.
but in the end we will fail if we neg
lect to decide for Christ. Peter was
saved by the skin of his teeth. He
first decided against Jesus, but later
came back and confessed Him before
men. You, too, though you may have
decided against Jesus many times now
have the opportunity to come back
and stand for the Christ. If you fail
to do go you will be numbered with
PLATE and Judas as men who failed
because they decided against Jesus.
There are just two answers to this
question. You must decide for or
against Jesus. There is no middle
ground You cannot remain neutral
Every man and woman in PendletoD
who is not for Christ is against Him.
1t was Jesus who said, He that is not
with me is against me- You NUT cor.
fess or deny Him tonight.
