THROBBING WITH BUSI-
NESS ACTIVITY.

The Ardmore refinery which
began business here January
l, 1915, with a capacity of
1000 barrels day, will have
increased its capacity to 1000
barrels by July l. When the
stills are completed that are
now under construction, the
capacity will have increased
700 per cent within year and
a half. Storage tanks with a
combined capacity Of a quarter
million barrels of oil are now
under construction and there
has never been a time since the
enterprise started that new
tanks and new stills were not
under construction. 1t is an in
stitution that is throbbing with
the business life characteristic
of the city in which it is locat-
ed.
An additional order for 100
new tank cars has been placed,
the cars to be used exclusively
in distributing the products of
this refinery. Wherever these
cars go they will be forceful ad-
vertisements of Ardmore as the
oil center of the southern fields
of the wonderful mid-continent
oil area. These cars will tell
the wonderful story of oil pro-
duction and oil refining that
have made Ardmore the busi-
est city in all Oklahoma.

\ CUECK TO THE CRAZE

Tho Illogical assurance with which

KEEP UP TRAINING
FOR u. S. GLORY
Daniels Tells Annapolis Graduates
the Navy Needs the Prepared
Man.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. June 3.-Sec-
retary Daniels Friday welcomed the
graduating class at the naval acad-
emy into actual naval service with
an address Counselling a steady con-
tinuance on their part of the training
and studies begun at Annapolis in
order that the navy might remain
prepared always for any emergency
The secretary told the graduates
they were coming into the navy at
the period of its largest expansion,
its highest efficiency and when les
sons from Europe point directly to
the need of trained men in war.
I'VE have learned" the secretary
said. that courage in battle is the
cOmmCnest as well as the most glor-
ious human attribute. The man who
hurrie3 to volunteer often fails to APP
preciate the fact that his services
lack the highest value unless he is
trained in arms. The pathos of hu-
man lives sacrificed in war because
of unreadiness is the saddest lesson
taught by the Euror can war.
Mobilize Quickly.
Another lesson Of the war and
one needed in America" he cOntin-
ued, ''is that the ability quickly to
mobilize the resources and convert
industrial plants into munitions fac
tories is as important as to mobilize
men"
Secretary Daniels raid high tribute
to the naval consulting board. which,
he said. already he'd undertaken the
pioneer work of industrial pre- pared
ness
81 counsel YOU" he continued,
early to marry yourself to a special
branch of the service, for an ounce of
expert knowledge in the days that are
before you will be worth a pound of
