There is still "A much greater de

realize the benefit of free employment
office and listing their needs with it,"
she continued.
Any woman or girl who desires house
work, either in town or in the country,
should file application at the employ

a great demand is also being made
for common laborers of all kinds, pro
fessional help. first class automobile
mechanics, gas engineers, gin men, etc.

DESCENDANTS Of
THE HOUSE FLY
GET RID OF THEM WITH
"FLY-RID"

Did you ever see u fly on the wallY
Yes. and she looks quite innocent up
there.
Did you ever see her on the lid OF
baby's nursing bottle, or sucking a
sore on baby's mouth?
That Is quite different. because that
fly carries disease germs. 1t may be
typhoid. it may be tuberculosis. 1t may
be infantile paralysis.
How about the wisdom of using
"F'ly-Rld" and thus killing off the flies
that are beginning to appear?
Rather advisable to use "Fly.Rid
and kill the mother fly now. is it not?
If 1t is, get "Fly.Rid" at any drug
store or grocery store and go to 1t.
Remember that every dead fly now
means prevention Of an Increment of
$50, 100000 of others in sixty days.
"Fly-Rid" is death to flies, but safe
for humans to handle. Also Rat-Rid,

fields of asphodel, presents problem to
city and county officials that Is any
thing but alluring.
Yet this is condition that actually
exists in Ardmore, and the same reports
drift in from all other sections of the
state, and the officers seem powerless
to stamp out the evil.
The mayor has fined them until he
has lost heart. They are given their
freedom in many instances in the
morning, only to be reported in Jail be-
fore nghtfall. They have no money
with which to pay fines and their main.

tuition for their maintenance in the
county and they are not within the law
SO far as a state institution is con-
ssrned the mayor is asking, What am
I going to do about it?"
At recent session in police court,
the mayor severely scored the practice
of selling narcotics of all description.
and to the poor drug addicts in partic-
ular.
1t is evident that they are getting
the happy dust from some one, and the
mayor Is of the opinion that it is not
all purchased from itinerant coke
bootleggers."
He said at the time that it might be
a good idea for the government to have
q man come, incog, and investigate con-
ditions see il any of the stuff is being
sold locally and if so, put stop to it,
and punish the violators of the anti
narcotic law.

stated that II any were apprehended
in this city his recommendation in any
particular case would not be for mercy.
but that he would ask that the fun
penalty of the law be meted to the
transgressor.
Ardmore is unfortunately situated
with reference to the Texas border, and
many of the "snow birds found twit
tering here are itinerants. They drop
off, in Ardmore for a day or two, per-
haps dispose of little surplus stock to
local addcts, and eventually land i'm

reduces the number by one, or several,

he usually finds one when he hunts for !

CAPACITY OPERATION
FOR ARDMORE PAINT
AND VARN|SH PLANT

Ardmore will soon have a paint and
varnish factory in full operation pro.
ducing the very best paints and var
nishes ever applied to iron and all man
ner Of metal work.
This statement is vouched for by all
who have tried the product of the small
plant that has been in operation here
for some time, and it has been used by
some of the greatest manufacturers in
the United States.
The concern will be known as John F.
Nolan e. Company and for the present
will manufacture its products in the
old Ohio company's plant, south of the
city limits, near the stockyards.
Mr. Nolan has had years of expert
ence in manufacturing paints and var
nises. He is u chemist of exceptional
ability and since first discovering the
properties of the raw materials pro
duced here, which go into the manufac.
ture of his particular brands of var
nishes, has said that he would remain
and establish "A factory if it took years
to do so, and he has made good his
statement.
The raw material, which is asphalt, Is
procured from the mines near Wood
ford This deposit is said by Mr.. Nolan
to be the finest in the world. He has
used asphalt from every country where
it is produced and maintains that moth
ing can compete with the Carter county
product
Associated with Mr.. Nolan is w. J.
Stoneburner who will have charge OF
the sales department. Mr. Stoneburner
is an old railroad man, who for some
time was general superintendent of the
Ringing road here. He has purchased
many hundreds of gallons of paint OF
this character, for the various roads
with which he has been connected, and
knows the class of trade to reach.
The new plant will start off with a
capacity of Is barrels per day, but Il
will be increased as demand warrants
Several needed improvements to the
plant will be made at once and start
made to secure the fall and winter
trade, which is quite an item with this
class of goods.
The paint is used extensively by pipe
line companies, Oll ldilhS, iooiIiiB, III
fact wherever metal is used. 1t i'm
parts u finish and surface that no other
paint of it's kind can produce and it Is
affected by neither heat nor cold.
Mr.. Nolan is well pleased with the
future prospects and begins to see that
his long vigil is about to be rewarded.
He has manufactured the products
here in a modest way for long time,
but never in quantities sufficient to
meet demands. This will now be obvi-
ated and he hopes to see the day In the
very near future whe nthe capacity of
the plant will reach 100 barrels, ana
every barrel be disposed of as soon as
manufactured.

STATE EQUALIZATION
BOARD HANDS COUNTY
SOLAR PLEXUS BLOW

Inc state equalization board in seq.
sion ut Oklahoma City handed the tax.
payers of Carter county an awful wal.
4op Monday when 1t made a blanket
raise of from 10 to LOO per cent on all
Carter county taxable values and check.
ea IL bacc to the county commissioners
here TO take action.
Ihe excise board of Carter county will
DE called into session Immediately and
steps taken TO either protest or comply
with the action Of the state board.
Land was the particular mark Al,
which the state board aimed. And this
land included all real estate in Ardmore
and Carter county, which was raised an
even 10 per cent. This action upon
the part of the state board is causing
a protest by the small property owner
ana the owners of larger holdings who
rendered their property at its full value
originally.
But protesting will avail very little IL
the figures issued are allowed to remain
Sheep and goats We're assessed 100 per
cent more, also the same rise applies
TO diamonds and jewelry.
According to these figures the as
sessed valuation of Carter county, In
elusive of public service corporations,
will be approximately thirty.five mil.
lion dollars. OF this amount approx
lately twelve and one-half million will
be represented by the city of Ardmore.
II was expected that the state board
would raise taxable values in the coun.
ty, but never to the extent they did,
and it is anticipated that the board of
county commissioners will go to Okla,
homa City and register u protest.
Following Is u list of lands and com.
modities raised by the state equalization
board.
Lands, including real estate in the
city and county, 100 per cent.
Jewelry including diamonds and
watches, 100 per cent.
Pool tables, 100 per cent.
Sheep and goats, 100 per cent.

Hotels and restaurants, 25 per cent.
Threshing machinery, % per cent.
Carriages, 90 per cent.
Farm machinery, 10 per cent.
The county court house has been a
busy place all day and those most ar
fected are wanting to know what steps
to take to prevent this raise.
Alainy are said to have offered to sell
for less than the increase the state board
will put on their property and the af
fair is in considerable of a muddle
which will absorb the attention of the
board of county commissioners for sew.

says Doctor Connor. formerly of johns

suffering from fatal diseases would be
in perfect health today were it not for

habit now before it's too late. It's
a simple process to rid yourself of the
tobacco habit in any form. Just go
to any up-to-date drug store and get
some Nicotol tablets; take them as
directed and 10; the pernicious habit
quickly vanishes. Druggists refund
the money if they fail. Be sure to read

Doctor Connor soon to appear in this
