HAVE YOU CUT YOUR WEEDS?

VXIHILE most of the owners or occupants OF
w property in Ardmore have complied with
the city ordinance and with the dictates of de
cency and kept the weeds on their premises
cut, there are some who still ignore the law and
the contempt of their neighbors. This is a sum
mer when weeds, along with other vegetable
growths, have had unusual opportunity to
grow. There has been an abundance of rain
and the weeds never neglect Il chance to show
. Just what they can do when they have the nee
essary moisture. Consequently the weed crop
/ in this city is what may be called a bumper
crop.
Mayor Freeman requests The Ardmoreite

Advice on Health
from Headquarters
by DIR. 4. R. LEWIS,
state Health Commissioner
Playground, and Health


Public opinion has undergone within
recent years a great change in regard
to Fairgrounds in connection with the
schools. In the old days it was gener-
ally held that the function of the schools
was to teach certain definite subjects,
principally reading, writing, arithmetic,
spelling and grammar and that tins
done the responsibility of teachers and
school authorities was neither expected
nor desired The health Of school chill
dren was considered a subject which
concerned the parents.
Now it is pretty widely recognized
that the health Of school children is
matter of vital Importance to the en-
tire community and a matter in which
the community, as we'll as the parents,
has a large measure of responsibility.
with the recognition of this RESPONSE
bility has come a widespread demand
for Fairgrounds in connection with the
schools. Partly this demand has been
due to the rapid growth of our cities
and the consequent Limitation of the
field in which children can play. \
generation ago, except in the larger cit
les, it was easy to find vacant lots
suitable for baseball and similar games
which delight the heart of the small
boy. Now too often, unless Fairgrounds
are provided, the only place in which
to play in the street, the disadvantages
of which are evident.
Need for Exercise
Another stimulus to the demand for
school Fairgrounds however, has been
the more general recognition of the
relation which exercise bears to good
health. whether the good health OF an
adult or a child. Children must and
will play, but if this play is on play
ground properly equipped for their
physical development there will be no
question as to the beneficial results.
A healthy child almost always means
a future healthy man or woman, and
healthy men and women are the great
est asset any state can have.

From Speech Delivered by Chairman HI

Only few hours ago, one of my as
scociates who is with me here handed
me copy of what was called "A Con
tract With the People" a platform OF
the Progressive party adopted at its
first national convention in Chicago
August 7, 1912. After some preambles
glorifying both jefferson and Lincoln,
it begins this way "The deliberate
betrayal Of its trust by the republican
party, and the fatal incapacity OF the
democratic party to deal with the new
issues of the new time, have compelled
the people to forge a new instrument Of
government through which to give eff
feet TO their will in laws and institu-
tlons.'
And so they founded their party be
cause they wanted certain new and
necessary social legislation and because,
as they believed. the republican party
had betrayed it's trust, having had an
opportunity and having failed to i'm
prove it, and that the democratic party
was incapable of carrying through these
great reforms
Now. they were correct in their first
proposition-that the republican party
had betrayed its trust and no longer
was worthy of the confidence Of the
American people, but they were wrong
. in their suggestion that the democrat
. ic party was incapable of carrying for
ward these new measures and placing
them in the structure OF our laws
cp
.beneficent in their operation, and so
splendid in their effect that no oppo-
nent dares suggest their repeal.
And just glancing through this pro
gressive platform OF 1912, I find that
they ask for effective legislation look
ing to the prevention of industrial ac-
cidents. occupational diseases, overwork,
Involuntary unemployment, and other
Injurious by-products Of modern indus

lin the matter of vocational training.

matter of the workmen's compensation

marty, for the first time in the history
|of the government, has placed in the
|cabinet of the United States a secretary
|of labor. and you know what the fed
| |eral employment agencies are endeav-
|oring todo and you know what the
mower of these agencies to find en-
|ployment for the unemployed has been
deliberately impaired by the republican
|party.
One other OF the prominent planks in
1.-The progressive platform was the prohi
|bition of child labor. You all know
what the democratic party has done In
THAT regard. For the frs; time in the
history of America we passed the child
labor law and, when the courts de-
|clared it unconstitutional, we were so

You can't have municipal content and

water supply that money can buy. It's

Six million gallons of filthy sewage
are being poured into the North Cana

day with the result that farmers and
townspeople along the river below the
city are suing for s125,000 as damages

Far worse, statistics from the state
health department prove that all the
deaths from typhoid fever in Oklahoma

poison river.
In your own community you can do
your part. whether your supply is from
well, creek, river or lake. Send a sam
pie of it to the state department Of

you whether it bears typhoid and other
disease germs. Then set about righting
the difficulty, if any. 1t will pay you

condemned the Payne-Aldrich bill as

They asked for a reform in the cur

/ tion that ever confronted a congress,
against the combined power of the fl

of constructive statesmanship in the
history of America the manner in which
the department of the interior, under
Secretary Lane. and the other depart
ments have co-oeprated to open up that
splendid new territory.
Corrupt Practices Act
The progressives asked for a corrupt
practices act. We passed one. They
asked for a department Of labor and
