HERE ON INSPECTION
TOUR LONE GROVE ROAD.

L. d. Ramsey, district engineer
of the state of Oklahoma, was in
Ardmore yesterday on tour of inspec-
ton over the roads leading to the
oil fields.
Mr.. Ramsey spent the morning
at the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce. Accompanied by Fred Chap
man, member of the Chamber OF

Ramsey drove from Ardmore to Lone
Grove.
Mr.. Ramsey reports that the gov
ernment aid road between Lone Grove
and Healdton was ready for advertis-
ing, and would have been advertised
for bids on construction, but the
good roads department at Washing
ton informed the state department
that there was not sufficient post
road in it for government consider
alton. Mr.. Ramsey made the trip
to Lone Grove for the purpose Oh
securing data from the postoffice at
that place, and after procuring the
information he desired, stated that
he believed that on account of the
new routes leading out OF Lone
Grove, the objections of the depart
ment at Washington will be over
come.
The good roads committee of the
Ardmore Chamber of Commerce has
offered its services to Mr.. Ramsey
The personnel of this committee Is

SCOTT FERRIS ALWAYS
A DEMOCRAT SAYS THE
REV. v. D. MATTHEWS

Rev. w. ID. Matthews, state COM
missioner of charities and correction
who was in the city attending the
Methodist conference. was pleasant
caller at the Ardmoreite office yes
terday, and beside church matters,
had something to say regarding the
political situation both state and ma
tional
Mr.. Matthews said he understood
that ]. w. Harreld, during the course
of his address, to the people of this
city made the remark that Scott Fer
ris was a candidate for office in
Missouri on the Republican ticket,
that he changed his political complex
ion after reaching Oklahoma and see
ing the trend of political events. Rev.
Matthews said that he wished to re-
flute that statement. and brand II as
absolutely false for the following
reasons
That 25 years ago, he, Mr.. Mat
thews,, was pastor of the NJ. r.
church, south, at Neoshon, Newton
county, Missouri, and at that time
was well acqualHleu with SSot' rei
ris. that Mr.. Ferris was never can
didate for any political office on any
ticket in the state of Missouri, so
far as he ever heard.
Rev. Matthews further stated that
Scott Ferris left Missouri before he
did, and has lived at Lawton ever
since so that his Oklahoma political
record is well known TO all the voters
of this state.
He further stated that Mrs Ferris
who was Miss Grace Horton, was a
member of his church, as were her
parents, and that the very idea that
Scott Ferris had ever aligned him
self with the Republican party was
too absurd to merit any attention.

BOB sLEDs AND HAY RACKS,


BY Mollie Price Cook
Grandmother looked out of the
window at the heavily fallen snow.
ITS a fine time for a bob sled
ride" she said. When | was a
girl we had sleighing parties all
winter long
The girls thought over grand
mothers suggestion and decided to
give an up-tO-datc, old-fashioncd
sleiehing party. First they went
to a livery stable and hired big
bob sleigh with seats along both
sides. The livery man said they
could have two teams of horses.
The girls figured that by taxing
each guest and securing a small
donation from their parents they
could meet expenses. Three of the
girls mothers offered to furnish
doughnuts, apples and cocoa.
Everybody was warned to bundle
up in the warmest dress to be
found. They all met at one place

A HAY RACK RIDE.

Girls in warmer climates where
there is no snow, will find it fun
to rent a hay rack instead of a
bob sled They all wear broad
brimmed hats and Bingham aprons
to look like farmerettes, and one
or two of the girls dress in over
alls TO play farmer The girls plan
refreshments to suit the time and
place. A wiener roast is always
fun, if arrangements can be made
at some picnic for fire.
A hay rack can be the source
of much merriment-the amount of
sport depending upon the ingenuity
of the girls who lay the plans. Do
not miss a sleigh ride this winter,
you girls in the North. and don't
forget the fun of hay rack ride.
you girls of the South-or you'll
go down in the history of girlhood
as never-did-it-wall flower!

Study Problems
r; Solved W
BY Irene Cleves
Francis w. Parker School

A group of children wrote about
vacation experiences. Henry deS-
cribed an unexpected night-out-of-
doors. Do pictured some Indian
guides whome he watched packing
"duffle" into canoes. Helen re,
membered withered old woman,
who peered from her door at their
noisy picnic party. Lois wrote
about a horseback ride at night.
Every one, you see, selected an eX-
perience that was vivid in his or
her mind.
Here is part of Lois's story, You
will find that in twelve places she
tells you what reached her sense
of sight: in seven places, what ap-
pealed to her hearing. She gives
you the odor of the night the feel
ing of the cold air on her face. The
more senses she could appeal to-,
she knew, the more successfully she
could make her reader feel that
night ride as she felt it.
When you have to write your
next theme or story remember
these two principals that Lois ap-
piled. First, write about some
thing you know, and second, appeal
to your readers senses.
Lois's Story
The cold, dewy grass looked
strange in the faint starlight, as |
crossed the meadows to the barn
to saddle my horse. l could hear
the sounds of the night, indistince,
indefinable; l could see the shad-
ows; and both sounds and shadows
set my pulse a-tingle. The pines
stood dark and cold across the
dreary river. The road stretched
in silence before me. AS l rode
off into the darkness, the trees on
either hand stood like great straight
giants. The stars twinkled. There
was a sweet smell of clover. Away
l galloped, the cool night breeze
blowing my hair. The constant
roar and splash of the waterfall
came to my ears through the deep,
silent night. The air felt crisp, the
black road gave back the solemn
thud of my horses hoofs The
absence of the moon gave every
thing a dreary, fearful look. l

sleighbells so the tingling of the
bells and the happy songs of the
girls attracted the attention of
everyone.
They rode into the country and
back, and just minute before
they were all stiff with cold they
were deposited on Mable Lane
doorstep. Mable's mother received
them and soon thawed them out
with hot cocoa, fresh doushnuts,
and juicy apples. The girls said
that the sleigh ride was the best
sport of the whole year.

TWO GIRLS AND HISTORY

There were two little girls who
studied history.
One read each lesson out loud
five times. She hated her history.
The other read each lesson once,
but she put her whole SELF into the
work. She imagined she was liv.
ing and doing the same thrilling
things she read about.
When she read about the fleet OF
ships that Columbus had she took
her scissors and cut out boats that
looked like his and laid them down
where they could sail across her
table just as if it were an ocean.
When she read about the pilgrim
fathers and their log cabins she
built one of the cabins from the
long blocks her brother had.
This girl liked history very much
indeed; and. was it strange that
she got much better grades?

the edges of the stencil are clean
of paint before you fasten it on for
the next strip of the desig.
Finishing Touches
Be sure not to hold the curtains
until the stenciling is thoroughly
dry. If your co!ors are not too
thick, the curtains may be washed
with the care given to ordinary
cOlored ones. The hens may be
done in hemstitching and a stem
ciled valance at the top fthe win
dow will add ever so much to
them.
If you did your furniture in yellow
the curtains may be decorated with
stenciled nasturtiumns in yellows
and orange. A blue room needs
roses on the curtains, and green
painted furniture is attractive with
design of violets that is repeated
in the hangings.
Doesn't this sound like your
best-of-all craft work? And the
incest part about it is that stencil
ing is so easy.
