and chills the atmosphere considerably.
Last Saturday l took an auto drive, of
about eighty miles, to the city of San

one grand driveway, so to speak. Most
every pike is bordercd with date palms,
weeping willow, camphor or cucalytus

four miles south OF Ardmore on the San

the climate is mild and hea.tlsIl w

TO use them. When a charitable view is
tiken of the country we think ii beats
the b-!a.s and sas2frls of old Kentucky
We have large town and is still grow
ing. Five years agFwhen we came here
there was only one automobile in town,
now there are nearly three thousand.
The finding of oil near town has been a
great help, the oil refinery is located
here. There are many beautiful build
ings, the Federal Courthouse and High
School and Carnegie Library are among
the prcttie I. To give you an idea of
what Kentuckians do here will tell you
some of the positions they hold. We
have an Elk Governor living in Ardmore,
from Ky. The State Superintendent of
Public Schools, County Judge, City Sup
erintendent of Schools, are from Ken
tuckv Representative in State Legisla-
tureis Morgan county boy.
Any of our old friends or relatives who
would like to hear more about the contry
write and we will be glad to answer all
letters. With best wishes we are,
