Civilization.

The wonderful Ince feature "Civi.
llzatlon" comes to the Orpheum thea.
ter on Saturday for one-day en-
gagement and the Portland Oregoni-
an on August Goth comments as fol-
lows:
Civilization" now being screen
ed at the Heilig theater, is one of the
most daring protests against the sell
fishness and inhumanity of a. war of
greed and acquisition the world has
known. There is a bombardment of
city by aeroplanes where great
buildings are demolished and hun
dreds left dead under the debris of
the buildings. There is a naval bat
tie where dreadnoughts and super
dreadnoughts are battered to pieces
and sunk. One scene shows mass
OF soldiers fighting in trench which
is in the range of the enemy's shells
and shrapnel. A great ocean liner
is torpedoed and women and children
drown.
Hardly less vivid is superbly
staged fight in the interior of a sub
marine when its commander, sickened |
at slaughter, opens the torpedo tube
and sends the engine of death to the
bottom.
Many scenes of Civilization"
grip the spectator tremendously. The
transition from peace to war comes
like a thunderclap. The miseries of
the consumption system are shown in
a virile manner and it is not until
the Christ, reincarnated in the body
of the submarine commander, returns
to earth and works his miracles anew
that the audience relaxes bit of its
tension and learns to love peace for
Its own sake.
Civilization" is to humanity what
water is to the parched throat of the
desert traveller 1t brings back sani-
ty and understanding and is the most
powerful protest against war in the
history of the civilized world. SAYS
one critic.
1t is safe to predict that the Or
pheum theater will be taxed its limit ,
rs the attraction certainly deserves
it.

The object of this meeting is to
disseminate information concerning
the situation which confronts the dry
voters of the state at the November
election, and to enlist the services OF
as many as possible to assist in cir

the county. Let us see you at these
meetings.
Has it occurred to you that your
life and the lives of your family may
depend upon what you do in the next
six weeks? If the brewers amend
ment passes, intoxicating liquor will
flow like water, and drunken chauf-
feurs will run amuck on every street
and highway in Oregon. Do you want
to face a situation such as that, to
say nothing of all the other evils that
follow in the trail of booze? eff the
Waterman see the sword come, and
blow not the trumpet, and the people
be not warned; if the sword come,
and take any person from among
them, his blood will l require at the

You have a personal responsibility

Portland and Oregon, and in fast
throughout the Pacific northwest, for
their uniform and manifold kind

The supreme lodge has been fetet
in other cities-2S times heretofore
it has been the recipient of bounti-
full entertainment-but nowhere, mol
at any time, with more genuine
wholesomeness and extreme liberahty
than in the city of Portland. The
people of that city well know that
their great kindness was and is ap-
preciated, but we count it as a dis
tinct pleasure and privilege to accord,
in the feebleness of words, that sin
cere appreciation felt by every visitor
in the metropolis of Oregon upon this
historic and important occasion. To
the knights and citizens of Portland
thank you, one and all.

A Successful Company

Among the companies which have
helped to develop the City of Ardmore
and place it on the map as city, Is
the Southwestern Land Company of
Hugo. This company is the owner of
the Sunset View addition to the City
of Ardmore, which is very beautiful
and splendidly located addition situate
in the northwestern part of the city.
The company is made up of some of
the most progressive business men in
southern Oklahoma, is strong finan-
cially and amply able to carry out all
it's contracts and to develop any prop
erty in which it may be interested.
These people have probably done
more to advertise the beautiful and
fast growing city of Ardmore and the
tremendous resources in oil, gas, as
phalt and fine farming and agricul'
tural lands in the. surrounding country,
outside the limits of our own state,
than any firm or aggregation of indi
viduals in the state.
The policy of the company is based

SAYSA WORD To
THE PUBLIC
CITIZENS WHO WANT TO KNOW
WHY CERTAIN CASES WERE
NOT TRIED ARE ANSWERED
THROUGH PRESS.

To the Public:
am in receipt of letters from GER
tain citizens of our county complain
ing that certain cases growing out of
the court of inquiry had never been
tried as yet, and showing an anxiety
on the part of the writer's of SAID
letters to know the reason why these
cases were not put upon trial as 9TH
ers of the same character have been.
From the tone of these letters, the
writer's Seem to charge the blame to
me, that these cases have not been
put up on trial. In justice to myself,
and in order that the record may be
kept straight, on January 13 and IA
| caused witnesses to appear before
the court of inquiry, who gave testi-
mony upon which these cases in
quired of were based. ! Immediately
turned this testimony to the county
attorney. find from the records of
the county court docket that an in
formation was filed in that court on
January % against these parties;
bond for appearance on February
was filed, on which date the case was
set for examining trial. For some
reason not shown on the record, there
was no examining trial on that date,
and the case was reset for February
Is. There was no trial on February
Is. and the record does not disclose
the reason why. The case was again
set for examining trial on March p,
and there was no trial on this last
named date, nor does the record dis
close the reason why.
There has been no bond forfeiture
in this case. Why these parties have
not been brought to trial is matter
wholly within the knowledge of the
county attorney and the county judge.
The case passed out of my jurisdic-
ton on the evening of January II,
when the testimony taken before the
court of inquiry was turned in to the
county attorneys office.
Permit me to say that have tried
TO do my whole duty in the late efforts
to enforce the liquor laws in this
county, and l shall not permit any
unjust blame for failure to try these

and more economical TO add additions
TO the four ward buildings than TO un-
dertake to build a new building.
In the first place, we already own
the ground on which the additions will
be built and the expense of site Is
therefore eliminated, and also the ex-
pense of one OF the walls. In addition
to this it will not require an extra prin-
cipal for a ward building and the ad-
ditions should be attached to the pres
ent school buildings because 1t makes
the location at the proper places in
the various wards.
The idea of the board is to build
four additional rooms to each of the
ward buildings together with ap-
proaches, Railways and stairways, two
rooms below and two rooms above.
Also, when this addition is made, to
so construct two of the rooms in each
of the wards so that sliding door of
some kind will be provided to form
a partition in such a way that it can
be removed, throwing the two rooms
together for auditorium purposes.

announcement for the office of county
attorney in today's issue of The Ard

Mr. Hardy is serving his first term
as county attorney, and has establish
ed a most enviable record. Mr.. Hardy
is man who makes few pretensions
but he is on the job all of the time,
and the taxpayers of the county are

lar they pay for his services.

Hardy states that the records of the
county pertaining to his department
are open to the world, and he invites
their inspection. He states that ne
believes he is in better position, after
one term of office to serve the people
of the county and while he makes nc
great promises that cannot be ful
filed, asserts that if returned he viii

IMPERATIVE
To HAVE MORE
/. SCHOOL ROOM
HEAVY ENROLMENT IN EVERY
WARD GOES BEYOND PRESENT
CAPAClTY-BOND ISSUE FOR AID.
OPTIONAL ROOM A NECESSITY.

The board of education regrets that
It is necessary to ask the people OF
Ardmore to vote an additional bona
issue. It Is imperative that the ca
nacitv of the wards be increased, for
the following reasons:
First-The census enrolment shows
that we have ESQ children of scholas'
tic age more than we had year ago
This increase has largely come dur
ing the last six months, or an aver
age of something like 100 pupils per
month. Doubtless before September
there will be 1000 children more than
there were last September.
Second-At the present time there
are a number of rooms where the
teachers have in regular attendance
from G5 to 70 children. Such crowded
conditions endanger the health of the
children and make it impossible Tor
the teacher to give the childTen the
instruction which they deserve.
Third-Our experience during the
wear has shown that some of the
rooms based on the present scholastic
population do not have enough seats
in them to actually accommodate the
students in that particular grade, and
all the seats are placed in the rooms
that can be. Our present buildings
are therefore inadequate for the scho
lastic population as it exists today
without taking into consideration any
increased population that may come
from month to month or year to year
We have decided that 1t Is better

MAIL ORDER HOUSES
AND LOCAL BUSINESS

Evidently someone at Wynnewood,
or perhaps it was one hundred, have
been patronizing the mail order houses
of the north when they could have OBJ
tanned the goods at home with the
same expense and less delay than by
patronizing nonresident tax payers.
Wynnewood has one merchant who is
peeved over this situation and sets
forth his grievances in an "ad' teem-
ing with sound logic that should move
the hearts of the residents of that lit
tie city and cause them to ponder be-
fore sending their good money away
for second-class goods. 1t cannot be
charged by the citizens Of that city
that he does not let the people know
that he is in business, because he is a
pretty consistent advertiser, so evil
IDENTIFY il is UP to the citizens TO see
to it that their wares are purchased
at home from man who helps main
tain city, county and state govern
ments.
Following is the appeal he sends
forth through the columns of his local
paper and it is applicable to most any
city, town, or hamlet, in Oklahoma:
Il have lived in Wynnewood %
years. Have been trying to make an
honest living all this time. Have paid
to Wynnewood merchants at least
$50 200 for living expense, and am still
at my job. | am thankful for patron
age and every courtesy that has been
given me. But now TO the point:
am not begging for your trade or any
thing akin TO that, but do think that
| ought at least TO have the privilege
of priceing wall paper, glass, etc, be
fore you or yours buy from mail order
concerns. Don't you? ! presume that
the little business that | represent is
about as necessary to the city as any
other concern in town. Don't you? My
motto has always been, to live and
let live df am an OLD updertaker)
What is your motto?
