a tent at Di'lard. Iaralyzed and I'M

weeks, his case was called TO the
attention of the welfare committee
of the local post. Together with Mrs.
.Squires, secretary of the local chap
ter of the Red Cross, a committee of
l~egionnaires visited billiard. and moved
the young man from the tent to the

there, Mrs. Bynum, Of the Wilson

TO ease the young mans suffering.
However, he died after he had been
there but a few days.
McDaniel's case vas finally dag

had contracted the disease from be-

the 2Sth Division. Besides being
gassed, he was wounded in the left

In the opinion of many familiar

ceived proper hospital care when he
was first taken i'll. However. it is
pointed out that there is not in the

to care for boys who were wounded

cannot afford TO pay expensive sani-

to Ardmore. is at Houston. Texas,

was such that there was nc time in

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 27.-The new
Republican administration must per-
NIT Democratic office holders TO COM
plete the terms for which they are
commissioned or the Democratic min
ority in the senate will fight against
the confirmation of all presidential
appointments if the plan proposed by
Senator Pat Harrison of this state
is carried into effect.
Senator Harrison will leave tonight
for Washington and will endeavor TO
secure a conference Of the Demo-
cratic minority on this question dur
ing the coming week.
Il believe in the new doctrine that
to the victor belongs the spoils and
am perfectly willing that all Demo-
Gratis now holding federal office be re-
placed with Republicans said Sena-
tor Harrison, but at the same time,
men now in office who were commits
stoned for specific terms, should be
allowed to finish their terms and not
be harrassed with letters conveying
the polite, but positive intimation that
t.heir designations will be accepted. l
hope a fight on the question can be
avoided, but the Democratic minority
can prevent any confirmation by the
new president if it sees fit, and | am
for the adoption of that policy if it
is the determination of the Republic
cans to oust all Democrats as quickly
as possible, without regard to their
terms of office"

AROMORE GR|DS STA CT
SPECTACULAR COMEBACK
IN CURT QUA RTER
ON N 'ALESTER FIELD

one Of the most spectacular games
Of the season was played at Nc
Alester on Thanksgiving when the
A. II. S. pigskin chasers came back
in the fourth quarter and with only
~ minutes 10 play, despite the 10
point lead of their opponents, came
out victorious.
The game started with every pros
pect Of a hard, close fought struggle.
The Ardmore eleven received the ball
and sullivan, that crack ~broken-field
runner, carried it up to the 40 yard
line and after n series Of snappy plays
was forced TO kick. Then McAlester
began q steady march down the field
which terminated in a touchdown.
The first quarter ended G 10 0 in
favor of the defenders.
The Ardmore team then seemed to
loosen up and in the second and third
quarters were again scored on. The
third period closed with the score
10 to 0 in McAlester's favor.
In the fourth quarter was staged
one Of the most spectacular and
brilliant comebacks ever witnessed
in McAlester. The Ardmore boys
seemed impregnable on the defense
and Irresistible on the offensive. This
was not due to any star playing on
the part OF any man on the team,
but TO steady, methodical team work
on the whole.
The backfield was as bad as greas-
ed pigs and when the line was called
on for a hole, it was always there
and not once did Davidson, that blond
headed terror, fail TO pillow through
the line for at least five yards. 1t
was he who carried the ball over tho
opponents goal for the first touch
down after a series of well earned
gains. AS for Sully, his broken field
running has never been surpassed,
This fast half-back raced down under
a kickoff and covered the ball in
the opponents safety one for the
second score of the rally. Lamb
never failed to carry the ball for sub
stantial gains and on the defense
was a nightmare to the attempts of
the McAlester eleven.
The generalship Of the team was
perfect, as ever. and Captain Slough
earned the approval of all onlookers
in the manner in which he led the
team in head-work as well as in ac-
ton. The guards, lrby and Strange,
were immovable by the smashes OF
the McAlester men, and when the!
attempted to 80 over tackle they
were met by an onslaught so savage
that the were forced to recede. These
pillars Of strength were Marx and
Hamilton.
The Ardmore ends were Doak and
Richmond who never allowed an end
run to pass them by undisturbed. In
the center Of this line stood Heed
who was always at the bottom OF
those center rushes of the opponents,
At the end of this triumphant re-
turn the score stood 20 to 10 in
favor of the Ardmore eleven.

DAM COMPANY WOULD
DEAL WITH RID N RE
IN STORM WATER

Mayor W. +. Freeman has re-
ceived a communication from the
western office of the Ambursen Con-
struction company of New York, in
which the firm submits a preliminary
plan and an estimate of cost for a
dam at Hickory creek site. upon which
the McIntosh-NNalton engineer report
was based.
The total amount Of the estimate is
s135, 600, which is subdivided as fol-
lows:
Cofferdams, pumping, etc, $1,000;
earth excavation, $4,000; rock excava-
ton $4,000; concrete, (230O cubic
yards $50, 800; concrete, 2,100 cubic
yards, $39, 900; steel 260, 900 lbs, $1S,-
200; gate valves, $500; C. /. pipe,
$500; railing, 500, racks and screens
5000; curtain wall and roof, $3.50;
sluice gates, $500; overhead profit and
contingencies, s14,S50.
The pan shows that the dam would
be more than 40 feet in height and
435 feet wide.
In its letter, the company states
that it feels confident that the type
Of dam will save the city a very
considerable amount OF money over
the solid masonry type, and that
among the advantages of the dam
will be rapid construction. high safe
ty factor, inability to urn over or
slide out and its foundation pressures
will be uniformly distributed at all
times, regardless of the flood passing
over the structure.
In submitting the bid the company
claims it bases the costs upon condi-
tons which it assume TO be similar
to another site for which it submit
ted a bid some time ago.
The company calls attention 70 the
advantage Of its dam in that the
storage of water can be started very
shortly after the work is commenced
and construction can be kept in adj
vance of the rising water, the city
having the opportunity of drawing
upon the supply long before the
structure is completed.

Democratic men were wearing white

roses, white and red ones, arguing
with bitter vehemence about the
