RE TURNED GUAROSMEN
PRAISE HOSPITALITY
Of ARDMORE CITIZENS

"Ardmore has sure made good with
the soldiers, Ardmore has fed us and
welcomed us and asked nothing from
US. We cant say us much for some
other cities which seemed to regard
us as something to be looked at, and
charged two prices for what we got
and mighty hard to get at that"
That is an accurate condensation
of sentiment as expressed, Sunday af-
tcrnOon, by the National Guard sol
diers who were served lunches and
hot coffee at the Ardmore cantecn.
The boys were all hungry and tired.
They had travelled since nine in the
morning with no opportunity to eat
anything more than "hand.out'
lunches since morning.
At some points the boys declared
they had been charged with eXorbitant
prices for such food as they were able
to find, by quick skirmishing.

NJ. v. JONES IN A
DALLAS HOSPITAL IN
SERIOUS CONDITION

NJ. w. Jones better known as "Dea-
con- of the Jones Everett Machine Com.
pany is reported to be in serious con-
dition at the Baptist Sanitarium Dallas
Texas, and his friends here are very
apprehensive over his condition.
Some time ago Mr.. Jones. while driv-
ing his car near Waco, Texas, had the
misfortune to serious smashup that
is the direct cause of his present con
dition.
While driving at moderate speed he
came to Il point where the road made
a sudden turn, close to a bridge. Mr..
Jones was unfamiliar with the road and
did not see the curve in time to make the
turn successfully. The car failed to
respond to the steering gear and ran
off the bridge or embankment turned
turtle and pinned him beneath.
His right forearm was caught beneath
the car holding him fast
1t was over an hour before any one
chanced to pass and then he was given
screw driver or chisel and proceeded
to dig himself out, it being said that
the man who found him was too excited
to lend any material assistance.
The water from the batteries of his
car ran down on his pinioned arm and
the flesh was badly burned
He was taken to Waco for treatment
after being released from under the car
and finally returned to this city.
Mrs. Jones was in Colorado at the
time Of the accident and at his request
the matter was kept from her. After
her return, however, his condition be
came worse, blood poison resulting. and
he was taken to Dallas for treatment.
His condition is not at all favorable,

soldiers going to and returning from
war service, and that this reputation
had gone far and wide, even beyond
the borders of oklahoma.
In Texas especially, Ardmore has n
warm spot in the heart Of thousands
of overseas men.
The little effort of last Sunday is
only in line with what has been done
before.
Success was due to the work Of the
women who prepared and served the
refreshments. They have had a long
experience i'm that work and they are
experts But, better than that, their
hearts are in it, They have done a
great service for the soldier boys and
in doing that they have rendered a
great service to their city. They have
made MS a reputation for hospitality,

Most Of life'S great mistakes are due
to insufficient knowledge. In the early
days of the great war battles ragged
on the eastern front. There are the
great lakes and marshes. Victory as
q rule came to the man who knew the
ground best One of the great gener-
ais made it his program to lure his
opponents into the lake region and then
deliver swift blows in the time of his
foes bewilderment. The difference be-
tween grades OF mental power is not
so great. but it's the training and the
knowledge and application that makes
the great differences between men.
When a mans re8dy to do his own
rough work he isn't likely to have
things put across on him." The ten

the regulars will respect him more.
Blunders he will make, but he will re-

Wild Animals in aanff.

Although Banff, Alberta, is hustling
village during the summer and is
thronged with tourists, wild deer from
the mountains are to be seen daily on
the streets and at night stately elk
leap from the roads in the bushes to
escape approaching automobiles IL
Banff cottager expects to eat his own
garden truck" he builds deer-proof
fence around his patch. The grounds
OF Brett hospital are open from the
street and the other night half-dozen
mule deer made raid upon the flower
garden. Banff is the capital of Rocky
Mountain park, and shooting game
within the park limits is forbidden by
law. The deer. being unmolested,
have become very tame, and even q
bear now and then pays a friendly
visit to the village. Not long ago q
bicyclist, speeding down lone of the
side streets at night, hit dark object
and turned q somersault or two before
he hit the macadam. Sitting up, he
looked around and discovered a bear
hitting the trail for home as fast as
four legs could carry him. Although
tame and somewhat obtrusive, the
deer, elk and bear do not relish too
close an acquaintance with man, and
have proved themselves to be not only
picturesque but perfectly safe neigh
bors.
