one of the most effective war ac-
tivity addresses last night when DR..

the opening note Of Ardmore's CAM
paign for her $1070,SO0 Liberty
Loan drive. In every detail it was
one of the most enthusiastic and
satisfactory public meetings ever
held in the city.
A chorus Of eighty-fve voices, re-
cruited from the church choirs of
the city, and augmented by an or
chestra, comprising members Of the
Chamber OF Commerce band, fur

written especially for this campaign,
and Mrs. Wood substituted in

n husky voice the tones soon
leared and his remarkable enun-
iation made it possible for every

word. In a straight forward man
er and with little preliminary Doc
ov Yquell proceeded TO give IL
lminating and new thoughts OF
,mericas position from the begin
ing OF the European war to the
resent. He was frequently inter
upted by enthusiastic manifesta-
ons OF approval and at the close
his address the demonstration

late the speaker. IL
