Ardmore continues to push for
ward as the coming industrial CEN
ter of the State. First we had the
great oil refineries and they are
still coming. Next came the two
mammoth million dollar Tire and
Rubber plants. Then come the big
Iron Works and the modern Re-
frigerator Plant and other impor-
tant industries.
Already we had one OF the largest
Pecan Factories in the Southwest.
The novel gas stove works, the Mat
tress Factory, the Paint and Asphalt
Works and many other plants which
started Ardmore on the road to be-
ing City.
Now comes the wonderful Horne
speed inventions and plans to make
Ardmore its home. Already they
have purchased twenty acres right
on the edge of the city as a factory
site. In addition to this, they have
an option on forty acres adjoining
the site purchased. This property is
secured from the Greater Ardmore
Company, recently organized for
the purpose of helping to make Ard
more a greater industrial center.
A city can grow to any size its

the newspapers would have had
columns about the strained rela-

After all this proceeding did have
great international Importance. Won
Sanders personal vanity had led
him to betray diplomatic secret;
he was not merely drill master
who had been sent to instruct the
Turkish army: he was precisely
what he claimed to be-the person
al representative of the kaiser. The
kaiser had selected him just as he
had selected Wangenheim, as an
instrument for working his will in
Turkey. Aftcrward Won Sanders
told me, with all that pride which
German aristocrats manifest when
speaking of their imperial master,
how the kaiser had talked to him
couple of hours the day he had ap-
pointed him to this Constantinople
mission, and how, the day that he
had started, Wilhelm had spent an
other hour giving final instructions.
| reported this dinner incident to
nv government as indicating Ger
many's growing ascendency in Tur-
key: l presume the other ambassa-
dors likewise reported it to their
governments. The American mill
tary attache, Maj. John X. M. Tay-
lor, who was present, attributed the
utmost significance to it. A month
later he and Captain McCauley,
commanding the Scorpion, the
American stationnaire at Constan-
tinople, had lunch at Cairo with
Lord Kitchener. The luncheon
was a small one, only the Ameri-
cans, Lord Kitchener, his sister,
and an aide making up the party.
Major Taylor related this incident
and Kitchener displayed much in
terest.
What do you think it signifies :"
asked Kitchener.
81 think it means" Major Tay-
lor said, that when the big war
comes Turkey will probably be the
ally of Germany. If she is not in
direct alliance at least | think that
she will mobilize on the lire of the
Caucasus and thus divert three
Russian army corps from the Euro
pean theater Of operations"
Kitchener thought for a moment
and then said, Il agree with you"

dered a great service to the aircraft
industry. Now that he has located
in Ardmore and secured site for
his factory here he is one OF us. We

This may result i'll immense or

immensity of this great war.
The present purpose OF the Com

earliest opportunity the Hornspeed

For marine purposes the propel-

THE ORIGIN OF ALL AIR
SHIPS

All inventors OF airships. aero
planes or other means OF air travel
have watched the birds of the air
and hoped to accomplish by ma
chincry what the all wise Creator
made so simple by nature. The tiny
sparrow as well as the master
eagle is able to rise straight from
the ground or tree top and fly away
in whatever direction necessity or
desire might dictate. The birds OF
the air can light or rise on even
place SO small as limb OF tree.
They can remain in the air at al
most standstill or reverse their
course of travel almost instantly
even while going at full speed. Man
was made so he could see and study
the birds Of the air and learn from
them the principle OF air travel.
Each inventor OF airships has taken
pride in trying to apply to his in
vention the simple principles OF ma
ture which he observed in the birds
of the air. The nearer he could ap
proximate nature the better his sue
cess.

The way the prosperous farmers OF

oNe' 10 later date. At this meeting
every member present joined the Red
Cross and paid his dollar In addi-
ton TO this the company voted a sub
scription of $4,000 for Liberty bonds.
Al recent meeting OF the board OF
directors OF the company, one OF the
items OF business which came up for
action was the authorizing of the
regular annual dividend. For several
years a dividend OF 20 per cent has
been issued TO the stockholders of this
company, comprising more than zoo

member OF the directory arose at once
a.tSi 'ht ulN liSllu "aS voted and moved
that the vote to declare the dividend
be reconsidcred and instead another
$4,000 worth of Liberty bonds be taken
by the company. No argument was
needed. and tho bonds were voted in
an instant.
In addition to this it Is found that
great majority OF the members Of
tne company have taken out bonds in
dividually. II is said the total amount

truckers are stockholders in differen,
banks in Norfolk and Portsmouth. and
these banks have subscribed literally
