~ 4 GHe~i of he Kaiser. which is "the
PLAIN story of II lucky soldier, who
served with the first Canadian overseas
division, tells nothing particularly new,
hut rccownts Interestingly his experiences
and those of his comrades in arms.
At 10 Arthur Gibbons enlisted, after
many difficulties due to his height, weight
and youthfulness, in the first Canadian
division sent over TO fight for the mother
land. Shortly after the battle of Epres
an explosive bullet completely shattered
his thigh, leaving him helpless on the field.
II was then that he first became "a guest Of
the Kaiser
He tells of the spirit and reserve Of
the men in the trenches, of their philOs
ophy. and of their cheeriulness or many
amusing stories. it is pleasure to quote
one:
-Four men were hanging on 10 bat
tered down traverse OF Il trench and beat
ing off an enemy attack Over on their
left. round anoihcr traverse one man was
fighting out the position alone with ma
chime gun. Owing TO tn. bend in the
trench the four men could not see the one
man who was fighting alone but this con-
Nrrsitinn went on. One Of the four
shouted, oh. Bill where are vcrr I'm
ere an orright.' Bill answered Ten min
utes later the same voice yelled again,
oh Bill are Yer still all ripht , Yes
I'm fine Bill answered Ten minutes
later. oh. Bill, Did they get Yer yetY
Nah they cant get me- Half an hour
later: oh. Bin, are You sure YOU are
all right I! Bill did not seem 10 like all
Tins attention and shouted back yes. I'm
still all right. b.t why the devil are ynu
81 interested IN me- interested in YOU"
the answer came. We don't give d n
about you, but we've drawn lots and got
up pool to see who i gong TO he he
first one hit and I've drawn You "
We have read the story somewhere be-
fore but ii is a good story
The account Of his treatment while
German prisoner Is the OILY horriiyIng
part of the narrative. Things turned out
fairly well for Sergeant Gibbons. as the
doctorS back home have undone the work
of the Germans and reset his limb in the
right way

The municipal picnic and barbecue
suggested as an anniversary celebration
of the founding of the city of Ardmore
is growing in popularity, according to
sam A. Apple, who is actively interested
in seeing the event materalize.
Mr. Apple is of the opinion that the
entertainment should be held and urges
that by all means am invitation be eX-

tory to come to Ardmorr as the guests
of the city for Mt least two days.
I'VE can easily raise the necessary
funds to finance this proposition" said
Mr.. Apple. "and it will revive spirit
that pervaded here in years past when
Ardmore was not so large and Ardmore
citizens not nearly SO prosperous as
now. We should get busy right now,
though the Chamber of Commerce, and
put this over
Asked as to his plan for raising funds
Mr.. Apple suggested that the matter

we owe it not only to ourselves but TO
every citizen in Carter county to revive
the old.time custom of celebrating the
regular anniversary of the founding OF
one of the best cities in the state of
Oklahoma
This sentiment was heartily seconded
by several prominent business men who
We're present. every one of whom was
willing to do his utmost TO make the
celebration success.
The concensus of opinion expressed
by business men who have been inter
viewed by The Ardmoreite on the sub
feet is that immediate initiatory steps
should be taken in the matter through
the appointment of all necessary com
mittees and get busy.
The time between now and the 2Sth

Glenn Cornwel of the firm of Corn

the victim of another auto thief this
morning and is now numbered among
those who have suffered the loss OF
Ford in Ardmore this season.
This morning Mr.. CornWell arked ms

one of these institutions for perhaps
half an hour and returned to where he
left his ear standing only to discover
that it was gone.
He Immediately notified the sheriff
and chief of police and the word was
nassed to surrounding towns for officers
TO be on the lookout for the ear.
Auto thieves IRE getting altogether
too numerous in this vicinity of late
the officers say. and they are hoping to
catch one red-handed, in order TO make
an example of him as a warning to 9th
ers
cars at all the churches are guarded
every Sunday night, during services,
but with the limited police force allowed
the city, it is practically impossible Tor
the men to adequately patrol and sale
guard all sections.
