WHATS WHEN?

The die has been cast. the decree
handed down, while practically water
less Ardmore is held in the hollow
of the hand of Providence, speaking
metaphorically, with nothing save the
grace of exceptionally good luck with
power to intervene and save the town
from total annihilation in event of
fire.
There may be found an excuse Tor
the action of the water commissioner
sanctioned we assume, by other mem
bers OF the citys official family, in cut
ting off the water supply of the city,
but we cannot find where the shadow
of an excuse could have existed when
prompted the cessation Of all activit-
les in the matter of laying the tenn
porary pipe line to the Chickasaw lake.
Work upon that project was taken
up some time ago, only TO be abandon
ed as soon as few drops Of water
fell from the skies, and with the
city lake falling lower and lower each
day, this work was not resumed and
no effort was made to carry the pipe
line to the lake-to the water which
promised a temporary relief from the
increasing danger.
If the present situation shows any
thing at all, it shows that the peo'
pie of Ardmore and the property of
Ardmore have not the protection which
should be given by competent and
a business administration. No man
or set Of men who were imbued with
the most crudely parliamentary elo-
ments of business accumen and train
ing would have permitted the city's
water supply to have got in the shape
that Il is in today. No business man
or set Of men would have permitted
the property Of the citizens Of the city
10 become thus endangered.
This is, however, not time for re-
criminatiops and villifications.
IL Is the time for action.
Procrastination and needless and
careless delays have brought about the
present plight. Procrastination and
needless delays are responsible for the
present crisis. Procrastnation and fear
TO take stand may be blamed FOR the
present non business administration
In Ardmore.
over year ago the matter Of Civ.
ing Ardmore real business admins
tration was taken up and threshed out
The usual committees were appointed
the usual number Of speeches Were
made and the usual number Of reports
filed And then the child was lullet
to sleep.
That child Is now twins, and still
sleeps.
What is going to be done?

With the announcement OF tne /
country's total population, the Bureau
Of the Census, under Director Sam
l.. Rogers, has accomplished only a
portion of its tremendous task which
will continue to occupy large force
of statisticians and clerks Tor the
better part of n number Of years.
But the primary object for which
the fathers of the country provided
in the constitution that a counting
of the people should be made every
ten years has been achieved That
object was to obtain the total popu-
lation in order that apportionment OF
the members Of the house of repre-
sentatives may be made by congress.
That apportionment, as soon as Di-
rector Rogers cortifies to congress
the exact number of people in each
state will be taken up by the house
OF representatives at its coming ses-
sion and during the coming year the
body will by law fix the number Of
congressmen from each state There
has been discussion as TO whether the
membership of the house of repre-
sentatives. now fixed at 43j, should
not be reduced as that number is con-
sidered by some parliamentarlans as
too large and unwieldy body Peo-
pie of some states are fearful that
their representation in the house
might be cut down and oppose any
reduction.
In 1890 the number Of representa-
tives was fixed at 65 each repre-
senting approximately 10000 people
The number has increased with each
decade, based on census returns, un-
til each of the present 435 members
of the house represents approximate
ly 211,S77 The actual ratio of rep
resentation varies from SO,293 in
Nevada to 22S,O27 in Washington.
Nevada, Delaware, Wyoming and Ari-
zona. whose populations were less
than the number which would entiuc
them to one representative by APP
portionment, We're each given one under
constitutional provision that each state
shall have at least one representative
in the house.
Some changes have occurred in the
rank Of the states and the District
of Columbia during the ten years
Connecticut has outgrown Washing
ton. Utah has gone ahead of New
Hampshire. oregon has passed Maine
The District Of Columbia, included in
the ranking Of the state by the CEN
sus bureau has outgrown Vermont.

Population of the United States Passes
one Hundred Million Mark; immigration
from Old World Shows a Marked Decrease

Washington, Oct. S.-The total pop
ulation OF continental United States
is 1O5,69S,lOS, an increase of 49,
7I0.S24, or 14.9 per cent
This figure does not include ap-
proximately 12,25O,OOO living in the
countrys outlying possessions. The
population of Alaska and the total
classed under the military and naval
service abroad are yet to be an
nounceG
Director Rogers of the census bu-
reau in making the announcement
of she country's population, said that
while the figures were preliminary
and subject to correction. the final
official population as transmitted to
congress in December. for apportion-
ment purposes was not likely to be
greatly different, although it might
be slightly larger through the add.
ton of population for small sections
of territory claimed not to have been
properly canvassed by the census
enumerators to January and which
are now being Investigated.
Washington, Oct. THE growth of
the country's population was not eX-
pected to show so large a relative
increase during the last decade as
during the previous decade ended
with 1910, because Of the almost com
plete stoppage of immigration dur
ing the world war and the heavy
emigration during that period. In the
decade ending with 1910 the total
population of the United States, ex-
elusive of its outlying possessions, was
81 1872, ,266. During those ten years
the numerical increase was the larg-
est of any decade in it's history while
the rate of growth was 21.0 per cent,
The gain in that decade was four
times what the total population of
| the country was in 1890 when the
first federal census was taken, while
the total population in 1910 was al
most 23 times larger than it was in
1890.
With the outlying possessions, the
United States in 1910 had a population
of 101,115,4S7. These possessions in
cluded Alaska Hawaii, Porto Rico
the Philippine Islands, the Panama
Canal Zone, Guam and Samoa, and
the total of persons in the military
and naval service abroad was added
This year the population Of the Virgin
Islands of the United States, acquired
from Denmark is included.
The growth of the country's popu'
ation, exclusive of the outlying pos
sessions, is set forth briefly in the
following table,

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over rheumatism

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
r:ble disease left him helpless and IN
able to work.
He finally decided, after years Of
ceaseless study, that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly called uric acid de
posits, were dissolved in the joints and
muscles and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
musicians, made experiments and finally
compounded a prescription that quickly
and completely banished every sign ana
symptom of rheumatism from his sys-
TEN.
He freely gave his discovery to others
who took it, with what might be called
marvellous success. After years OF urg-
ing he decided to let sufferers every
