GRAIN.

Chicago, May H.-Corn: Prices
took decided swing today infiu-
enced by the favorable weather
Likelihood of large receipts tend
ed also to give the bears an ad-
vantage. Opening quotations, which
ranged from the same as Saturday S
finish to ID cent lower. with June
l% and July l.S9 3-S to l.SO "a
were followed by slight rally and
then by material declines.
Oats sympathized with the weak
ness of corn. Trade was light.
After opening a shade to 3-S cents
lower, with July 65 So to 65 rs
rents, the market reacted somewhat,
and later underwent a fresh sag.
Provisions showed only transient
effects from setbacks in the value of
hogs. Covering by shorts was more
than a complete offset.
Liberal exports of lard and meats
counted subsequently in upnolding
ehe advance.

PREPARING TO
ISSUE BONDS

James A. Bass, city attorney, who
returned from Washington Saturday
afternoon, found large volume OF
work awaiting him, but he will at
once begin the preliminaries neces-
sary to issuing the bonds voted By
the people of Ardmore and approved
by the capital issues committee.
Mayor Roberts said today that he
hopes to have everything in readi-
ness to advertise for bids for the
work in about 80 days.
The first thing in order now, Mr..
Bass announced, is the passage of
an assessing ordinance, and that he
will prepare this at once. He may
not be able to get it ready in ti.Le
for the meeting of the city commits
sion tomorrow night, and it may be
taken up and passed at an adjourn
ed meeting, as soon as it IS ready.
Following this will come the print
ING of the bonds, and then their
approval by the attorney general,
after which they will be ready for
the market. No delay Of any sort
is expected and only the actual time
necessary for these preliminaries will
intervene between now and the be-
ginning of the work.
The proposed improvements by
the city will result in heavy de-
mand for labor in Ardmore tl.is
Summer and fall. There will be the
construction of the big dam on Hen
ryhouse creek, the laying of miles
OF cast iron pipe and the construc-
ton OF concrete pipe several miles
long, the ditching for the laying Of
the water mains in the extensions of
the system to be made in the city,
the building of the sanitary sewers
and the construction OF an iii nciner-
ating plant All this will require
vast amount of labor and material
and it means benefits to ArImore
many fold of what will be the cost.
With the requirement of an addi-
tional water supply and the exten-
sion of water and sewers, will come
building operations running into the
millions, new additions, new homes,
more manufacturing establishments
and an increased taxable value with
in the city.

F. L. Carter For Collector.

F. L. Carter makes formal an
nouncement in this issue of his
candidacy for the nomination
on the Democratic ticket for
the Collectorship. He has already
visited various parts of the
county so his ambition is pretty
generally known.
Mr.. Carter served as deputy
county clerk the eight years of
Mr.. Glasscock's tenure in that
Office, and four years ago made
tka race for the nomination to
succeed Mr.. Glasscock, but was
defeated for the nomination. He
has. a very wide acquaintance
throughout the county, which is
a very good asset when seeking
political honors. He has every
qualification that the business of
the office demands and if chooses
will make an efficient and pain
stalking collector.

An Official Request.

The United States Government
has urgently requested the peo-
pie everywhere to discourage
money-raising and money squan-
dering enterprises of every kind
through out the whole country
for the two weeks preceding the
Red Cross drive, which begins
May goth.
AS the Red Cross Drive will be
completed in one week this re-
quest ought to be observed as a
patriotic duty and ought to be
no hardship.
Prompt and willing conformi-
ty to all the Governments plans
should be the test of loyalty and
good citizenship.
AS War Fund manager of the
County for the Second Red Cross
War Fund appointed by the
Southwest Division of the Ma.
tional Organization, | therefore
transmit to the people of this
County the Governments re-
quest to leave off unnecessary
money soliciting and money
spending enterprises until after
the week following May goth.

Joseph KuehIs For Collector.

Joseph Kuehls of Odessa,
makes known his candidacy for
the Democratic nomination for
County Collector in this issue of
The Intelligencer. While it has
been generally known that he
would seek the nomination, his
active participation in the re-
cent bond drive, kept him from
campaigning outside of his own
immediate neigh5orhood. Mr..
Kuehls made the race four
years ago for the same nomina-
ton, but was defeated, and now
believes that the experience
then gained and the acquain-
tances made viii give him a de-
cided advantage over the field.
Mr.. Kuhels is fitted by educa-
ton and training, two very es-
sential qualifications, to make
an efficient Collector. He has al
ways been a loyal Democrat and
is deserving of fair considera-
tion from other loyal Democrats

Song Recital.


Another graduating recital
was given Monday evening in
Murrell Auditorium, when Miss
Helen Teetor, pupil in the VO-i
cal Department, sang an inter-
esting and well bal anced pro-
gram.
Miss Teetor is the happy pos
SCISSOR of a naturally well placed
voice--a soprano of light but
very musical quality Her range
is not extreme but enables her to
exercise sufficient variation of
tone and modualtion of color to
delight her listners, and their ap-
preciatiOn was apparently sim
cere and enthusiastic.
One feature of Miss Teetor's
work deserves special mention-
her distinct and correct enunci-
alton. She exhibits this point, as
well as vocal excellence, to adj
vantage in The Lass with the
Delicate Air.
Miss Richardson, her teacher.

Mrs. Sallie A. MoOrehead.

Mrs. Sallie A. Moorehead died
Wednesday morning at 1870 o.
clock at the Research hospital
in Kansas City. She had stead
lily failed in health for some
time and her many years with
the debility of old age caused
her death.

Her husband, James N. Moor
head, was killed in the battle Of

serving in the Confederate Ar
N.Y.. Ten years later she came
to Missouri with her son James
R., Sr. She was a woman of
strong personality, indomitable
courage, and energy, but her
many friends loved her mostly
for her gracious sincerity in all
her associations and her many
admirable qualities of mind and
heart. AS a mother and grand
mother few women have been
more revered, or have given
more literally of service and af-
fection. She had for years been
consistent member of the Pres
byterian church in this city.
At a time when women in bus
mess were seldom known, Mrs.
Moorehead came to Lexington
and took charge of millinery
business established by sister
who was in poor health, and for
forty years attracted and held
a large coterie of customers un-
til her failing health caused her
retirement. Since then she has
made her home with her only
son, James Z. Moorehead, for
merly Of Lexington, who has
lived 'se last seyers.l gears h
Kansas City.
The funeral was held yester-
day afternoon at 4 o'clock. from
the home of j. Barnett Young
in this city. Rev. Robt. L. Cow
an conducted the services.

The first recital in the grad
uating series by the School Of
Expression, Central College, was

The program was presented by
Susie Mae Loring of Oklahoma
City. Instead of varied selections
the evening was devoted to q
condensation of Mayo's Polly Of
the Circus" and included the es-
sential parts of the work. The
play embraces a considerable va
riety Of emotion and action; all
Of which found vivid express
ion in well modulated voice
and appropriate gesture. In fact
Miss Loring's excellent portray
al of the several characters was
so successful that the presenta-
tion afforded a realism quite e.
quail to mounted scenes.
The public attested its approx
al of Miss Loring's finished and
artistic work by hearty and
spontaneous applause; and the
thoroughly enjoyable reader was
recalled again and again.
