ROTTEN EGGS FOR
!. |. OF N. OPPONENT
James A. Reed, Democratic Senator
From Missouri, Meets Waterloo at
Ardmore. Ok.-Women Went to
the Rescue.

Ardmore, Ok, Oct. 1.-THE attempt
Of United States Senator James A.
Reed of Missouri, to address an Ard
more audience last night was COM
plete failure, following a most pro-
pitious start earlier in the evening.
The hour of speaking had been set
for $3.50 and at that hour the Ardmore
convention hall with seating capac-
ity Of 5000 was filled to overlooking
with fully six thousand people jam
med into the building. Many Ard
more women were present. At $3.50
Fred Williams Of the reception com
mitee introduced Mayor William Free
man Of Ardmore.
Judge Freeman started to introduce
the Missouri senator by stating his
position and was approaching a place
wherein he was making clear MS posi-
ton, stating he was discharging his
duty on behalf Of the city whose chief
executive he was, in introducing the
speaker of the evening, no matter how
Numerically his views and Senator
Reeds might be on the League OF.
Nations.
But the period was reached, and
then came the auti-elimax.
Without warning, out went the
lights as someone, whom no one
knows, had cut the light wires. I'M
mediately pandemonium broke loose.
Some cool headed citizens reached the
middle of the stage whereon were
seated Senator Reed, Mayor Freeman,
and members of the reception commit
tee. He told them to sit steady in the
boat, that If If any s.. tse;s.st -es made
to leave the stage riot might fol-
low.
Just at this point bombardment
of ancient eggs began in more or
less steady barrage over the foot
lights.
Prior to the rain of firing of shrap-
mel the electric lineman who had been
summoned, succeeded in fixing the
lights. With the return of lights
semblance of order was restored after
the first round of eggs had found
their marks. After the bombardment
came slight lull in the storm and
different ones unsuccessfully attempt
ed to quiet the audience long enough
to hear Breeds message"
Every attempt Of this kind, how
ever, was greeted with Kisses, cat
calls and round after round of cheers
fer President Wilson.
Hope of restoring quiet being at
last abandoned and in an effort to
forestall any further scenes, a com
mittee of women went up on the stage
and held an informal reception.

If Peter Pan Should
Visit the juvenile Store
BY ANNE JORDAN

Wouldn't Peter Pan have wonderful
air at night while we are all sleeping
and get inside of the Juvenile Store!
Why, their toy department beats Never.
Never Land all hollow! There's every
thing that boy or a girl could desire,
or the third and fourth floors of the
Juvenile Store. in the way of toys
The toys are all American made, and
most of them are carefully selected to
instruct the children, as well as give
them pleasure.
| felt little bit like Peter Pan myself
when began nosing my way around
among the different things I'll have to
admit that my pulse quickened percepti-
bly, when l discovered some of the won
derful toys!
l know if Peter got in there some night
he would make for the trick toy, made
to teach youngsters how to perform par
Tor tricks. and would take one of those
coins in his hand, quickly make it turn
into two coins, and throw his head back
and cry out, ooh, what a wonderful.
wonderful boy l ami
Then he would dart along to the air
planes that wind up and fly, really fly.
and be just as delighted with himself
But poor little Peter wouldn't be edu-
Gated enough to understand the chemis-
try toy. 1t takes real American school
boy, and not a fairy boy, to know how
to work that. They can make all sorts
OF chemical experiments with this toy
