CITATION FOR CONTEMPT BE,
CAUSE or FAILURE TO SUP
PLY HEAT READY TO sign

rhis morning in district court, Judge
John l.. Coffman called upon the coun-
ty attorney to file information against
the Consumers Light & Power Company
citing it to show cause why. it was not
complying with the terms of their con
tract with the citizens Of Ardmorc in
furnishing them with sufficient gas
for heating and domestic purposes.
The information was duly drawn
and the citation prepared for the sig
nature Of the judge, Immediately when
court reconvened this afternoon.
Upon reconvening court Judge Coff-
man, however decided that nasmuch
as the gas pressure had increased, it
would be inadvisable to file the infor-
nation and issue the citation, at pres.
cnt Therefore the case was not filed
with the court clerk.
The petition as dictated in open
court, set forth that the Consumers
Light x Power Company, as a cor
porution. doing business in the city
Of Ardmore, Oklahoma, failed and has
utterly failed to furnish sufficient gas
to its patrons for heating and light.
ing purposes, and by virtue of said
charter which has agreed to furnish
gas for the courthouse of Carter coun-
ty, oklahoma. Petition further stated
that the consumers Light & Power
Company had failed to comply with the
terms Of its charter, inasmuch as on
this the 18th day of November 1919,
it has not furnished sufficient gas to
properly heat the courtroom, where
district court is in session, and that
it is causing great Inconvenience to at
torncys and litigants.
For the reasons briefly set forth the
court prayed that citation be issued
to the Consumers Light & Power Com
pany its officers and employees to
show why it should not be held in con
tempt Of court for failing to comply
with the terms of its charter and con
tract.

EARLY MORNING SANTA
f WRECKED ms |DE
ARDMO.RE YARD LIMITS

North bound Santa Fo passenger
train number 6. due to arrive at Ard.
more at 1857 a. m, but running two
hours late was derailed about three
miles north Of the city by a broken
axle ON the locomotive and it required
the services of the wrcckng crew until
noon before traffic could be resumed.
The train was running at its usual
speed when the accident occurred The
broken axle caused the engine to leave
the rails and tore up the track for a
considerable distance, none of the
coaches were dcrailcd and no one was
injured.
South bound Santa Fo train number
due here at 1858 was held at Dougherty
until the wreck was cleared
The wrecked train was in charge Of
Engineer Robertson and Conductor
Hutchins, both of CIeburnc, Texas. To
the action of Engineer Robertson in
staying with his engine and applying
the emergency brakes as his machine
left the rails, is due the fact that the
accident was not a most disastrous
one, costing many lives, is the opinion
OF railroad men.

A Washing Machine Pays

We often visit the home of a sue
cessful, prosperous farmer and find
that the family washing is done by
the old washtub, dashboard manner.
Many arduous and unpleasant duties
are placed upon the farm woman, but
probably there is nothing which
comes into the everyday life Of the
average farm woman which is more
distasteful than doing the family
washing. Much is said and written
of conservation of man power for
ests, water power, soil, ETC., but too
little is said of the conservation of
the labor of woman. There is every
reason why modern washing ma
chimes should be installed on many
thousands of farms to greatly tighten
the burden of washing
