THOUSANDS SAVED TO
ARDMORE REALTY MAN
BY LOCAL FIRE BOYS

\ high compliment was paid the
members of the Ardmore fire depart.
ment Wednesday when c. h. Smith, a
prominent Ardmore real estate man, ot
operator and owner Of farm lands called
at the headquarters and thanked Chief
Musgraves and the individual members
Of the department for the good work
done by them at the fire which, for a
time, threatened the old East Side Lum.
ber Company yard, several nights ago.
The old lumber yard has not been oc-
cupied as place Of business for several
years. but has been used as "A comb.
nation warehouse and storage place for
farm products.
At the time Of the fire there were
several thousand dollars worth Of hay,
corn and other farm products stored
in the sheds Of the old yard. The
prompt action and efficient work OF the
fire boys, under the skilled direction Of
Chief MusgraVes, prevented a loss of
from $4,000 to $4,000 which would
have resulted with the total destruction
OF the property, and brought the loss
to the minimum of $500 by confining
the flames to one small shed.
In addition to thanking the chief and
the boys of the department, Mr.. Smith
asked if he might make them a present
of small sum in token Of the esteem
in which he held them and of the value
he placed upon their services.
Upon being told that such presents
We're allowed under the law. he tender
ed n twenty dollar bill, which was ac.
cepted by Chief Musgravcs, on behalf
Of the department. This money has
/ been placed in the local firemen's fund
and will be used to pay for daily papers,
| magazines, etc, for the reading room
Of the department, and also for the pur.
/ chase of toilet accessories.

UNIVERSITY ENROLMENT
RECORD BROKEN; MORE THAN
1000 STUDENTS ON HAND

Norman. Okla, Sept. 17.-All rec
ords for resident enrolment have been
broken since last Thursday when the
University of oklahoma opened its reg
istration for the 2Sth annual session.
The 1000 mark has almost been
reached and enough more students are
here or coming to insure that the g
200 mark will be passed this fall.
Classwork started Monday and the
annual address of President Stratton
Dr. Brooks followed on Tuesday.
The city of Norman is having a hard
time finding places for all students
to room but many citizens have thrown
open private homes 20 them and none
will be turned away.
Y. NJ. and Y. w. c. A. helped in
the search for rooms and also aided
more than 100 students in finding jobs.
\ large percentage of students each
year is self-supporting.
Everything indicates the most sue
cessful year in the history of the uni
versity. Among the schools and de
partments, showing great growth this
year are the college of engineering
the school of law, school of journalism
departments of chemistry, geology
modern languages, military training
mathematics, school of public and pri
vate business, and English.
Three new buildings, the Armory
costing 500 900, Geology, 100000, and
new library, $4,000 are available fol-
the first time this fall. This increases
the amount of classroom and laboratory
space available but leaves most of the
departments badly crowded.

continue to hold closed sessions twice

The question Of the Saar valley is
Intimately bound up with that Of in

aceds money for the damages wrought

1t is also worth pointing out that
England is a big exporter of coal

by the Rev. S. +. Jacobs in his adj

"You can have all the regard for
the Hun you want" ne said, 'but I'm

around the free people of the world"
"Not hundredth part Of the harm
they did ever got to the public. The
women of France must now pay the
price, starving and keeping the home
fires burning; it is the women who are
calling to the world for help. After
their suffering no wonder the French
women cry, Finish the war"
"The boys are coming back with
the same spirit and love of country
they took with them. Though they
trenlbled under fire, everybody did
who was there. They stood the test
and won" {
Mr.. Jacobs said he did not want to
take one particle of glory from the
Marines but that at Chateau Th:erry
there were 100000 troops and nobody |
Knew it better than the Hun.
As for these two by four Ameri-
cans who criticize the little petty mis-
takes in the administration of things
over there, let them look what the
United States carried to France in
food and men without losing a single
transport" continued Mr.. Jacobs.
'There has been an organized ef-
fort, too. on the part of other war
organizations to give the Young Mems
