TENANT FARME Rs Of
CARTER COUNTY FAST
BECOME HOME OWNERS

NJ. D. Smith, who is familiar with
local conditions, states that farmers
in this section OF Oklahoma are in bet.
ter condition financially, than they
have been at any time in the past ten
years.
Mr.. Smith is in close touch with 10.
cal affairs pertaining to farmers, and
he predicts that a great many tenant
farmers will not be available another
year for the reason that many Of
them are buying farms Of their own.
This has been especially true for
the past three years. said Mr.. Smith
"The farmer has received a good price
for everything he had to sell, and crops
have been remarkably good for that
period. The tenant is, as IA rule, pretty
thrifty and if given a fighting chance
will soon graduate from that class.
am glad to note this and will do every
thing l can to promote the tenants
prosperity and help him become a
home owner"

ARDM0RE STATE GUA RD

The question of building an armory
for the two units Of the National Guard
at Ardmore, has been one to occupy
the attention OF those who desire to
see u home permanently established
for the boys who volunteer TO serve
the state and nation, but so far very
little has been accomplished toward Sc
curing the desired result, aGdording
to a statement of Col w. N. Hutch
inson.
In speaking Of the matter Colonel
Hutchinson said:
'I am not prepared at this time to
give out very much information rela-
tive to the aITnOry proposition, but
| will say that Ardmore needs an arm
ory and believe with the proper force
brought to bear. can secure an ade-

feel that Everything will be settled
shortly, and when it is, Ardmorc may

two military units.
The factional difference referred to
in Colonel Hutchinson's statement is
between the two units Of the city, the
machine gun company and Company +,
but according to Colonel hutchinson.
the difference is more imaginary than
else. and he hopes for an
early adjustment Of the matter in or

25O MORE BSBEE MEN ARRESTED IN DEPORTAT AT|ON CASES
Millions See French AlliedVictOry
 Parade in Paris

PARIS, July IA. (By the Associated Press) The conQuerorS in the great war marched today in a victory pa rade under the Arc de Tiomphe, through which only victors may pass. Picked units and individual heroes represented each of the allied armies.
 Several million grateful persons, mostly French, but with many thou sands of the allies, struggled forward along the line of march for an oppor- tunity to wave and shout their grati- tude to the men who saved them from German imperialism The triumphal arch, conceived by Napoleon to con- memorate his victory at the battle of Austerlitz, took on new historic inn partance when the allies marched through the massive pile of masonry which dominates all Paris, and moved down the Champs Elysees toward the Place de la Eonco-Ge.
 The place of honor in the process sion was not accorded to the generals and the smartly equipped troops. It was given to a thousand mutilated sol diers who passed under the arch and in front of the reviewing stand, where stood President Poincare. moving haltingly and out of step, as best they could.
 Many were injured, some blind, some in wheel chairs and others on crutches or limped along with the aid of canes. Few of them were uniform ed. They represented all the prov inces of France, as was indicated by the variety of their civilian attire. They made no effort to maintain mili- tary formation, but marched as we'll as they could to the airs played by the military band which led them.
 Great crowds filled every inch of space in many streets and boulevards that commanded a view of the line of march. Balconies were packed and roofs were black with people. Many hung in the trees which lined the biulevards. @t.

MEXICAN GOVT
 STATES POLICY

WASHINGTON, July 14-Murderers of a number of American citizens in Mex ico have been apprehended and executed by the Mexican government. which through expenditure of two thirds of the republics revenues in the work of paci- fication is slowly restoring order. 1t was said today by Ygnacio Bonillas. Mexican ambassador to the United States. who has just returned to Washington from Mexico City.
 This statement was the first announce ment by any Mexican official of author ity that any of the perpetrators of the murders of of American citizens. which have been the subject of numerous repre- sentations to the Carranza government. had been captured and dealt with. The ambassador added bandits and rebels fin all parts of the country were laying down their arms and returning to their homes to till the land. To aid in this movement. he said. the government was distributing trainloads of agricultural i'm plements.
 Nexico's first duty. the ambassador asserted. was to put down insurrection and for that reason large sums of mon- ey were being spent in justification, This work he said. was slow largely because the government has insufficient Amer ican ammunition. He announced that if the United States would permit the inn portation of more munitions, to the Mex ican government it would assist in wip- ing out the bandits and in protecting the lives of nationals and foreigners alike. When the pacification of Mexico had been accomplished. he said. the money devoted to this end would be used for paying off the interest on the foreign debt.
 Mexico has never. and never will, re- pudiate her debts" he said. "She should not be expected now to compIy with her international obligations when her first duty is the pacification Of the country. Mexico has no fear at all of any unjust aggression from it's neighbors. She hopes they will appreciate the efforts she is making to set her house in order" Regarding the exclusion of Mexico from the League of Nations he said the Mexican people felt they had been very uniustly dealt with but harbored no i'll will Mexico hopes. he said, the time will come when she will he invited to join the leaCue

BAD FLOOD
 STRIKES GLOBE

GLOBE, Ariz., July 14-Globe's 8 main street is under two feet of water, the result of a cloudburst this evening. The postoffice building and several large business blocks are un- der water. The Western Union of flee was wrecked and the instru- ments and fixtures ruined by water.
 In one of the worst floods expert enced in 35 years the business sec tion of the city was partly inundated this evening about seven o'clock, en- tailing property loss estimated at $100000. Water at one time was running on the main street at a depth of two feet. Rain has again started to fall with the likelihood that even more serious damage may be looked for. So far there has been no report of loss of life.
 During the height of the series Of cloudbursts the main street was in, undated with two feet of water which carried household fixtures and furni- ture on it's crest to Pinal creek Sev- eral houses were carried down in the torrent, and the Arizona Eastern pas. senger train due in the city at 7:35 p. m. was forced to unload it's passen, gers on the edge of the city owing to the washout of a bridge in the southern part of the city.
 The postoffice, Western Union of, flee, one of the local brokers off ces and a garage were worst hit by the flood. The Western Union office probably suffered most, being entire ly placed out of commission, the in- terior of this office was entirely wrecked and many of the fixtures and reports were washed away in the flood which swept down the main street
 At late hour tonight, Pat Hurley, who has been resident of the city for a number of years, was reported miss ing. When last seen he was near the bridge over the creek at the time the flood had reached it's crest. At mid night tonight he was still reported missing by policemen who had been detailed to search for him, and 1t is believed he was drowned in the stream.
 Immediately after the high water had subsided in the flooded area, work was commenced salvaging goods in business houses and cleaning the de- bris from the floors of the buildings, which were inundated.
 Dr. Fox, local weather observer, stated that at o'clock, after more than two hours of rain the precipita-- tion passed the two inch mark.
 Although it was still raining at mid night, he stated, he had not taken the exact amount since the foregoing fig ure, but it was well past the three inch mark.
 Approximately 30 buildings were estimated by city officials to have been damaged by flood water Several adobe houses, which were partly inun- dated have collapsed and it is reported a number of others are being rapidly weakened at their bases in the disin- tegration process of the water
 Owing to the havoc wrought in the postoffice by the water, it Is expected that it will be impossible to deliver mail for a day at least A force of men was placed at work to clean up the refuse deposited in the office by the flood.

Yes and No Extent FOrd's Testimony
 In Lib el Suit

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. July H. The third month of Henry Ford's S1. .OOO. = 900 libel suit against the Chicago Daily Tribune got under way in Judge Tuck CTS court today with Mir Ford on the stand as a witness called by the Tri- bune.
 So much of the evidence consisted of editorials from the Tribune or articles from the Detroit Free Press that there was little testimony from the witness himself. Today he said ''yes'' OF mo" or it's equivalent a few times and that was about all.
 Tribune editorials of 1914 eulogized Mr. Ford for the introduction of the S5 day minimum wage and characterizing him as a genius. establishing a new standard for the relations of employer and em- ployed, were read to show that at that time the Tribune bore him no i'll will but on the contrary. admired him greatly.
 The name of Theodore Delavigne, a Free Press reporter, who became a peace publicity man for MT. Ford. appeared in the testimony. The employment of Mir Delavigne. it appeared. was the beginning of Mir. Fords efforts looking to disarma- ment of the world and the establishment of universal peace. for which purpose. it appeared from one of the Delavigne arti- cies. Mir. Ford set aside S1 100000. Della viGne wrote a long article which was published in the Detroit Free Press. quoting Mir. Ford along pacifist lines. It was on this subject that MT. Ford and the Tribune. which was a vigorous advo- cate of preparedness. parted company. the witness admitted. MT. Delavigne quoted Mr. Ford as stating that the rest of his life would be dedicated to estab fishing universal peace.
 Mir. Ford will resume tomorrow.

50 THOUSAND
 SEANEN STRIKE

NEW YORK, July 1.-The threatened strike of men employed on the vessels controlled by the United States shipping board was called late today. By this &C., ton. according to union officials, 50. GOO seamen and thousands of stewards. cooks and other employees joined the ranks of those already on strike. The offer bS the shipping board of an increase in wages and shorter working hours in port was duplicated today by the American Steamship association which controls 75 per cent of the coastwise shipping. but the proposals failed to bring about a settlement.
 The outlook was made more threaten ing when William S. Brown. fnternation- al president of the Marine Engineers telegraphed from Buffalo that his union had voted to join the walkout if de- mands of the strikers were not met.
