CARTER COUNTY MAY
DEVELOP Bic SWEET
POTATO PRODUCTION

President T.. f.. Gilmore of the South
land Sweet Potato Storage Company
Of Dallas, Texas, arrived in Ardmore at
noon Friday to join j. L. Penrod, agent
for the sweet potato company, who
has been in Ardmore for the past week
in an effort to secure cooperation of
local capital in building a sweet potato
storage plant in Ardmore.
Carter county is recognized generally
throughout the southwest as having an
immense area of sandy land which is as
good as the best in the world for grow
ing sweet potatoes. \ large crop Of
potatoes is now maturing and unless
storage is provided the entire crop is
likely to be forced upon the market
early, which would probably result in
the farmers not getting as good returns
as they should.
It is confidently believed that Ard.
more can develop one of the greatest
sweet potato storage centers i'm the
south. Believing this local business
men who have Investigated conditions
are anxious to make at least small
start this year, so that next year a
larger acreage will be planted with
ample storage facilities provided to in
sure a profitable market.
Messrs. Gilmore and Penrod have
been in conference with local parties.
who hope to be able to complete the or
gani2ation necessary to put over this
enterprise.

"INVISIBLE WATCH" HER
SECRET SAYS FAIR RIDER
Famous Equestrienne With Ringing
Bros. and Barnum 4 Bailey
Tells of Success

Stars of the circus world have their
philosophy and their epigrams as well
as those men and women who follow
less spectacular professions. May
Wirth. most famous of all equestri-
cnnes, is fond of repeating a rule which
she follows with great consistency and
which she will tell you, is responsible
for her success 1t is:
Work hard, play hard and smile,
smile, smile. Whoever does this con
sistcncy IS bound to land on his feet.
Miss Wirth practices what she
breaches. She is said to be able to
rehearse longer hours than most male
performers in circusland She is an ex-
pert at tennis and polo and through it
all she wears a smile that won't come
off. As for landing on her feet" she
does that even on the fastest of galop.
ing horses She is the daring lady
dainty Of the sawdust ring. Her for.
ward somersaut, performed from the
back of horse running at top speed
has never been equalled by any other
equestrian-man or woman. She and
the entire Wirth family will be here
with Ringling Brothers and Barnum K
Bailey Combined Shows, Thursday, Sep
tcmber %.
Miss Wirth will be seen in solo mum
bers, which will include her remarkable
forward somersault on a single horse
and others performed from the back Of
one mount to another while both are
on the gallOp. She is the feature Of
great galaxy Of riders numbering 10
artists. Though still i'm her teens. Miss
Wirth has Surpassed all others in her
branch Of the profession. Though she
has many accomplishments as a rider,
her amazing somersaultS out-shne all
the rest. She rarely experiences Il fail.
This is because she has what circus
people term a perfect time"
II start to spring through the air at
Just the second or part of Il second
when the little watch inside of me says
it's time to GO" says she. That's the
only watch we riders have and the
only one we ever need. And then
keep right on smiling even when things

smile all the rest Of the body reaXes,
too. And so. you see, | always land

One night while walking down the

sought the pleasures of the world, but
my soul was not content saw the
bright lights of the theatres; they
beckoned me to come, as did the music
and the song in the place where they
sold rum. | stepped into a pool hall
and found a vacant chair, and thought
that | would rest bit and drive away
dun care; but my mind it still per
sisted into turning memOry's sod, re
minding one Of the time when | was
winning souls for God | couldn't find
that rest and peace satisfaction would
not Come-when suddenly | heard the
sound of the old army drum. It's voice
it called me closer and | found the
open air. and once more | could see
myself kneeling there in prayer. For
| had been a soldier, and known the
Saviour's smile but now | was a de
sertcr--a sinner weak and vile. But
in spite Of all my meanness, | went to
the hall that night. My intentions
they were proper meant to do the
right But a deserter is n coward
always ready with some eXcuse-or
perhaps careless person and wonders
whats the use?' But the prayers Of
Gods faithful people won my hard
and stony heart, ana ut the front that
night ! made another start. And to
day praise Godl I'm fighting; Jesus
