ms TALLAT|ON OF NEW
COMP PRESSOR TO GIVE
CONSUMERS MORE GAS

Ardmore users Of natural gas will
be glad to learn that the third unit OF
the compressor plant has arrived here
from the factory and is ready to be
hauled to the station site, in section
1888, where the gas company pur
chased a site several months ago from
Roy NJ. Johnson. If the weather will
permit the work to be carried on the
compressor should be in operation
early in November, and it is probable
that very little cool weather will come
before that time.
Paul Ekern, manager of the Consum-
ers Light & Power Company, states
that all the large users are dsconnect-
ing from the plant. The laundries, the
oil mill the gins and other big users
Will either use oil or coal for fuel.
The electric light plant has been using
coal for some time and is now prepar.
in its plant to use fuel Oil
The action OF the big users will leave
much more gas for domestic use and
the house of the city ought to be
pretty well cared for during the winter
large portion of Carter county
gas has been shipped to Texas because
the lone star Gas Company could
purchase 50,000,000 cubic feet where
the local company could find use prob
ably for 1900 600 feet.
Higher prices are being paid in Tex
as, and also in Kansas, for Oklahoma
gas than Oklahoma and the state cor.
poration commission has permitted an
advance in price to consumers to en-.
able local companies to pay more for
gas in the fields.
But this advance has been allowed
on the specific contract that gas be
furnished, and in no instance in this
state where an advance had been al
lowed and the company did not com
ply with the contract to furnish plenty
of gas-it was required to make a
refund of the amount involved in the
advance.

LEE HIGH WINS.

Last Friday afternoon the Lee
High eleven attled the heavy Amory
aggregation to tie. Each team
failed to kick goal after touchdown
by q very close margin. The game
Was hard fought through the entire
contest. The home team made their
Touchdown in 8 minutes Of play in
the first quarter and it appeared to
be an easy task but the Amory
eleven seemed to strengthen on the
defensive and succeeded in holding in
several instances which seemed to be
sure chances of another touchdown.
Aniory was unable to gain much ex-
cept on forward passes. Their Of
fensive work in passing proved to
be very effective. The entire team
for Columbus showed wonderful ag-
cressiveness, both on the defensive
and offensive. Each player deserves
favorable mention for his work.
Myricks and Atkins showed ex-
ceptional bull dog fighting on the de-
f,nsive and Hood and Ed Lindamood
were the outstanding stars on the
offensive. The latter named half back
made a wonderful end run of 20 yards
for the lone touchdown. yg ,
