OLDEST MUSIC HOUSE IN OKLA.
HOMA HAS MADE ENVlABLE

MENT OF WHICH HE is PROUD.

Just little over twenty years ago
a young man came to Ardmore, then
struggling little hamlet built of
wood and tarred paper, with a pOpula-
tiOn that was at once uncertain and
hard to fathom, and announced that he
had arrived to open a music store
Now this announcement sounded rath-
er funny to the most of the natives
who We're more used to the music of
the siXgun than the strains of the
piano, and whose tastes had rather
been inclined to the long drawn out
dirty around the camp fire than to the
voice of Caruso on the pnOnograph,
so they were inclined to look with com
passion and pity on the young man
who had the nerve to risk all the
ready cash he possessed in establish
ing a music store here instead of
chile joint where for a dime the ma
tiyes could get plate OF something TO
eat instead of a sheet of Mckinley
music
Nothing daunted, however, and be
fore many days his sign adorned the
outer walls of a snack on Main street,
and few organs and pianos opened
for display as well as sundry fiddles,
guitars, and a banjo or two with a
handful of accessories for each.
That was twenty-one years ago. To
day that establishment perhaps has
placed more pianos in homes of Okla
homa than any other music house
within the borders of the state; not
only placed them there, but has taken
care Of his customers from that day
until this, until the assurance of f. b.
Luke that an instrument is all right
is all the guarantee that people in
this end of the state require.
Recently Mr.. Luke has taken anoth-
er step forward. Having learned the

Girls have canned many things other
than tomatoes. They Will 500 take
up meat canning. Next year the
girls of Ellis county who belong to
the canning club will have every
thing on the pantry shelf that is
wanted In the canned line. The
girls dubbed together and bought a
steam pressure canning machine
which costs some s25. BY mean Of
it one girl in an hour can put up
eighteen three-pound cans.
All work and no play makes a
girl a dull one. To overcome this
three rally days were held in Ellis
county this year, at Ennis, Waxaha-
chic and Midlothian. The girls wore
caps and aprons to the rallies. A
program was prepared which bore
directly upon canning work, then
came picture shows. iced drinks. au-
to rides, etc.
DR.. Hornbeak of Trinity univer-
sity has beer SO kind as to offer n
scholarship to one girl In the can

the ninth grade. Five scholarships
are given this year to girls OF Ellis
county to A. and NJ. Short Course
last summer. Pack. uniformity of
the jar, etc., constituted the basis
on which he girls were chosen for
he scholarship. Thirteen girls from
Ellis county went to A. and M. the
past summer, Ellis county having
the second largest crowd or girls
present.
Scholarships are offered to four
girls of the canning club. These
scholarships include a tria to the
Dallas fair with all expenses paid.
The girl winning the first prize in
the state will receive a $500 schol-
arship to c. J.. A.
To make her talk more practical
Mrs. Davis had with her three girls
from a rural community who be-
longed to her canning club. Each
of these girls told what they had
accomplished during the past year
Elah Glenn of Bristol told In a very
interesting manner what she had
canned. She stated that people for
merly bought canned goods from the
merchant, but in a short time the
merchants will be buying canned
goods from the farmer. This girl
canned 500 quarts this season.
The next speaker was Nina Lump

not only worth while now, but will
give value in after years. She stated
in detail exactly how she cultivated
her plants. She has sold $50 worth

PROSPERITY IN
 WESTERN CANADA
900 Million Dollars in New Wealth
 Added in 1915.

Canada as a whole has enjoyed won- derful prosperity In 1915, from the products of the farm, the orchard and the centres of industry. No country wrote a brighter page of history in agricultural and industrial develop ment during 1915 than Canada. Nearly billion bushels of grain produced. Taxes in Western Canada average $24 and will not exceed s35 per quarter section, which includes all taxes. No taxes on improvements.
 When Western Canada was faced with her enormous harvest last fall the military authorities decided that soldiers in Canada could give the Elm pire no better service for the time being than to assist in harvesting the crops. For that reason leave of ab- sence was given to soldiers who wished to work in the harvest fields. and their labor was an important fac tor in harvesting the big crops success fully.
 The necessity for increasing the az even more attention in 1916, and 1t Is now announced that soldiers in Can ada may obtain leave of absence from their military duties in the spring for certain length of time to enable them to plant the seed for the crops in every Province of the Dominion.
 The fact that the Government rec ognizes the seeding and harvesting of Canada's crops as being of the first importance is perhaps the best evi. dence that conscription or any in- crease of taxes which would reduce the agricultural activity of Canada will never be considered by the author. ities.
 Owing to the number who have en- listed for overseas service it has been found necessary to secure farm labor in the United States. It Is hoped that fifty thousand can be secured.-Adver. tisement.

They were speaking of hubby's boast of how beautifully he can keep house the other evening, when this anecdote was smilingly related by Congressman Swager Sherley of Kentucky.
 Downtown recently Mrs. Jones met Mrs. Brown, and during the conversa- tion that followed the latter told of a two-weeks' visit that she had just made to the home of her mother.
 While I was away" continued Mrs. Brown, my husband kept house, and insisted on cooking his own meals"

 Sunshine took the little princess back to the castle, where the king was waiting, and when he knew that his daughters sight had been restored he held feast and told everyone how Sunshine had cured the princess, and that in return for this he intended to make her his daughter also.
 In the midst of the feast a servsnt came to the king and said that girl had been found by the side of the Cas- tie wall faint from the want of food, and when they brought her in Sun- shine saw it was her sister Clouds.
 But she did not tell the king how selfish Clouds had been to her; she only said: "She is my sister; we were lost in the woods"
 When Clouds found how kind and unselfish her sister was she became ashamed of herself and determined to be like her, so for the sake of Sun shine the king adopted both of them and they lived at the castle with the little princess and grew up to be good and useful women.

Once upon . time there were two sisters, one was called Sunshine be- cause she was always laughing and had kind word for everyone.
 The other sister was called Clouds, because she was so cross-looking and never had a pleasant word for any one.
 Sunshine and Clouds lived with their uncle, who was a miser, and when they grew up he thought they ate too much, so one morning he gave each of them a pail filled with food and told them they must go away and earn their living.
 They walked a long distance the first day without finding work, and when it came night they sat under a tree to eat their supper.
 Let us eat the food from your pail frst," said Clouds, "and then we can throw away the pail and only have one pail to carry"
 Sunshine thought this was a good plan, and let her sister help herself to all the incest things in her pail, and then next morning they ate from Sunshine's pail also, and when night came they were still without 8 place to sleep, and Sunshine's pail was empty.
 Clouds sat down to eat her supper, but she did not offer her sister any.

IS STRONG FOR DISCIPLINE
Percy Haushton, New Owner of Braves, Always an Advocate of
 Obedience to Training Rules.

Discipline is likely to be the watch word of the Boston National league baseball club under the direction of the new president, Percy D. Houghton, during the coming season. Haughton, as a Harvard baseball and football player, and later coach of the eleven, has always been a strong advocate of strict obedience to training rules, in structions and the playing code of whatever game he was interested in
 While 1t is not to be expected that Haughton will insist that the players of the Boston Braves will be held to the same degree of accountability that prevails in college football circles, it is certain that the new president of the club will insist upon an observ- ance of all the rules recently laid down by former President Gaffney in his letter to the players, and may even
