II. G. Spaulding Buys
Shawnee News-Herald;
To Take Charge June |.
tTrom Shawne. Daily News.Heraid)

Mr.. II. G. Spauldng from Ardmore'
retiring Us the publisher and editoi
of the Ardmoreite, which since the few
years of his control has become, IL
NAV be said. the conspicuous newspaper
success of Oklahoma, will on June the
first become the owner publisher ana
editor of the Shawnee Daily News
Herald.
Mr.. Spaulding will but slightly
change the location OF his News Herald.
He has leased from Mr.. Weaver for "A
long period the property from when
the Climax Creamery is about to move
and enough of the present News'ierald
space to give him u Beard street front
age of about one hundred feet.
TN. Shawnee Weekly Herald, which
will on June 1st. become semi-weekly
publication and the former Daily Press
plant and the News-HeRld job de-
partment. and the NewS-Herald build
ing will not be included in the sale OF
the News-Herald and its plant, but will
remain the property of Mr.. Weaver.
The retiring owner of tins paper
would be worse than an migrate II ne
did not here with heart filled with
gratitude coming to the Shawnee pupIlc
in its entirety, and every one OF NS
commanding factors and influences,
great appreciation of their kindness ana
liberality toward him during the eight
years of his Shawnee newspaper con
troll and during the more than four
wears he has been postmaster.
hn
the factors and forces in Shawnee COM
petent to control have been, somewhere
between the bottom and the top, some
where along the line, this writer's
friends, always ready to defend, con
done of advise it could never have been
possible to have emerged unscathed
from the vicarious punishments IN
flictod on account of his war work ana
certain open policies of this paper.
The city of Shawnee about the first
of the year entered into new era
of business confidence, especially mani
tested among banks, loan companies,
real estate men and retail merchants,
and ii seemed that the mantle of the ma
tional advertisfrs who Were giving
several magazines a million dollars an
issue in advertising, fell upon them,
and for the first time since the brief
packing plant boom days, the News
Herald was warranted in definitely pro
ceeding to enlarge and improve to the
extent of full leased wire Associated
Press service.
AS "A safeguard for such an impor-
tant improvement proposal we asked
the advertiS to contract to continue
to give to the News-Herald their ex-
elusive advertising support, and with
a surprisingly unanimity they so con
tracted.
1t has now been abount two months
since the improved News-H Herald and the
increase in advertising has been quite
commenshrited. The business public
having enabled the owner of this paper
to put 81, 500 to $4,000 a month more
into II than formerly. there has quickly
been felt the honorable obligation TO
tn. Shawnee public to either sell the
News II erald, which had become one
of Shawnee's big institutions, to some
good, sized newspaper man who would

give all Of his time and talent to ITS
management, or else resign his position
as postmaster in order to assume active
charge of the Shawnee newspaper.
Mr.. II. q. Spaulding has for some
time been wanting TO buy this News
Herald and hire some one TO run 1t
for him. This we would not let him
do, unless he would agree TO sever ms
Ardmore connections move here ana
devote the whole of his splendid news
paper talents to the News Herald. Al
ter he had made Il trip over here time
or two, he so fell in love with the
town, that he sold his Ardmore inter
ests and agreed TO move permanently
to Shawnee if we would sell him the
News Herald. He bought 1t. He VIII
buy himself and family home next
week and as said at the outset, VIII

AS a matter Of fact though the sporting
editors may dispute the statement, special
trains should be run to Ardmore next Tues
day afternoon for the game. What game
Why, the baseball game between the Lions
and the ROtarians. This is going to be the big
gest sport stunt pulled off anywhere in Okla
homa since the pioneer prehistoric red man
did the first corn dance in the short grass
arena Probably it won't induce staff sport
correspondents to come down from Chicago
and out from New York, but if those high
brows in sportdom Just knew what story
they could get here they would come by wire

of course the game-will benefit thereby. A

PERCIE HARRIS. NOW IN
GERMANY, WRITES THAT
HE'D LIKE TO BE HOME

The Ardmorete is in receipt of the
following letter from Percie Harris,
who is with the army of occupation
in Germany:
81 have been over here almost one
year, but | am about ready to come
back to the good old United States
1t is good enough for me.
IL am in the goth Division and in the
army Of occupation with headquarters
at Bernkastel, Germany. This com.
pany | am in did not get to the front
in time to do much, but we have been
doing our part since the armistice was
signed We have been driving trucks
for the engineers while they are build
ing roads in Germany, so | have seen
"a big part of Germany. l have been on
the road for four days and nights with
my truck, hauling rations.
II have been in Cobenz, that is
headquarters for the Third Army, and
as far as the American soldiers have
been.
we have it on the boys in France
We can get passes and go back to
France, but the boys in France cannot
get passes for this country, so | am
glad | am sup in Germany.
The company | am in is located in
kesten. There is no work here except
the grape vineyards. They are on
the hills almost perpendicular, and the
German women do all of that kind of
work, and the men do nothing but
make wine. This town | am in is the
richest in Rhinelanad, which is the
country between France and the Rhine.
When | first came into Germany,
you could take bacon and soap and
get any price for ii, but we have been
in here too long now.
I'VE have good beds while in Ger
many, for the Dutch cannot refuse
any American soldier a bed anywhere"

The Ardmoreite is glad that Ardmore is
going to have a clean, high-class, 1919-date
amusement park. The promoters and manage
ment promise entertainment to which nobody
can offer objection. Many merry outings are
in store for Ardmore people the coming sea-
son.

The Germans are somewhat slow irr signing
on the dotted line, but our personal experience
is that it is rather slow work writing German
proper names in German characters so don't
let's condemn 'em too harshly.

THE CONSCIENTIOUS EDITOR


THE ARDMORElTE begs leave to endorse
the following, which is found in the col
umns of the Ada Evening News and ap
parently is the sentiment of the new editor
Marvin Brown:
A conscientious editor has great load
of responsibility that few stop 10 consider.
He must decide what reading he is TO
give the people and this has a powerful
influence directly and indirectly In the
first place the editor must give the read
ers something they want to read and in
formation they should have and this re-
quires no small amount of thinking. How
ever there is always a lot Of scandal and
gossip that would be read eagerly by
young and old that would do no one any
good and have corrupting influence on
the young people 1t is often hard to de-
eide how much or how little Of such stuff
to publish. Generally the less of this the
better for the community. Above all
things it is the aim Of the right-thinking
editor TO create q taste for good reading
on the part of the boys and girls who will
be the men and women Of tomorrow
In this connection it may not be amisS to
remind the dear public that the life of a news
paper editor is not altogether a swim through
halcyon seas on flowery beds Of ease-oi
words to that effect Consequently, kindly re-
frain from shooting the editor every now and
then. He may be doing the best he can.

ACID IN STOMACH
S0URS The FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric
y Acid is Cause of In
digestion.

A well-known authority states
that stomach trouble and indigestion
are nearly always due to acidity-
acid stomach-and not, as most
folks believe. from a lack of diges-
tive juices. He states that an excess
of hydrochloric acid in the stomach
retards digestion and starts food
fermentation, then our meals sour
like garbage in can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like a toy balloon. We then
get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the
chest, we eructate sour food, belch
gas, or have heartburn, flatylence,
waterbrash, or Nausea.
He tells US to lay aside all diges.
tive aids and instead, get from any
pharmacy four ounces Of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast while il
is effervescing, and furthermore, to
continue this for one week. While
relief follows the first dose, it is
important to neutralize the acidity,
remove the gas-making mass, start
the liver, stimulate the kidneys and
thus promote free flow of pure di-
gestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia
and sodium phosphate. This HARM
less salts is used by thousands Of
people for stomach trouble with ex.
cellent results.-Adv.

Huge Tank Traversed
Distance of Over Is
Acres IN Recent Storm

East Omaha residents have not
yet recovered from the effects of a
storm scare late Friday afternoon
when the wind velocity started a
large iron oil tank rolling across
Avenue H from Fifth to Ninth
street, where it lodged against a
tree between two houses.
The tank. which is IL by 10 feet
and weighs several tons, was ready
to be placed for the Omaha Refining
company. The braces which held it
were evidently displaced by the
wind and the huge tank began
careening down the avenue, the clat-
ter of the hail stones on the hollow
iron increasing the bewilderment of
all who saw and heard-and had no
idea what the huge thing wasl
The distance traversed by the tank
is over l8 acres.
1T was fortunate the tank did not
strike anything, for its great weight
would have caused serious damage"
said L. V. Fox and E. S. Line of the
Omaha Refining company. 1T rolled
as straight as shot out of a gun"
