MAMMOTH CAVE
 MAY BE GREAT
 NATIONAL PARK

Louisville, Ky, May 25.-Mammoth Cave, Kentucky's contribution to the wonders of the world. may soon be purchased and transformed into an extensive National Park. Reports from Washington are to the effect that the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives contem- plates calling mp for passage short 1y a measure with this in view which would appropriate s1.ooo,ooo for the government to purchase the great cavern and s2,ooo acres of virgin forest land lying around it
 The movement to make a national park of the famous cave has been carried on by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks aided by other organizations. Preservation of the gigantic cavern as national park would be one of the greatest accomplishments for the public good ever attained.'' says Kendrick R. Lewis. chairman of a committee of the Louisville Lodge of Elks. Tt is one of the most picturesque sections of tine country and is surrounded by a primitive forest of hardwood timber comprising approximately 32.000 acres. This property is to be sold at public auction in the near future. I understand. and many timber men are endeayorfng to purchase it. The nation ia general and Kentucky in particular wishes the government 10 buy the cave and land in order to save the natural wonder for future generations to see.''
 Mammoth cave is today the great est subterranean area known to exist It has five different levels and the temperature is at all times 54 de- RreAa Eternal darkness and stiffness reign supreme.

GOVERNMENT MAY GET OWNERSHIP
 OF RAILROADS
Frederick Strauss Warns l. c. c. of This Reasonable
 Possibility.

Washington, May 25. - Events Of the next few months or weeks will determine whether government own ershdp of railroads will come again despite popular opposition-Freder Strauss of New York today warned the I. c. C., oontending that the main thing at present is to establish a feel ing of security in the minds of in- vestors. MT. Strauss appeared before the commission in support of the railroads request for increased freight rates.
 'sGovernment guaranty would ne- cessarily be followed by government ownership MT. Strauss declared. "But the peoples aversion to govern ment ownership is of no avail unless such policies are adopted as will preclude 1t.
 Whether government ownership shall come against the will of the people or system of private owner ship shall once again obtain here as 1t did in the days when the American transportation system was regarded as second to none in. the world. will be determined by the events of the next few months or weeks"
 Low nominal rates merely are of no use to the shipper, MT. Strauss as- serted, if the traffic is not moved in sufficient quantity. What the shipper needs, he argued, is the speedy move ment of his goods, and there are only two ways in which it can be accom- plished.
 One is the announced charge of the shipment of goods, he said, and the other is by an appropriation out of the national treasury by a levy on a tax payers to cover the deficit. Rail road at present can offer no induce ment to the investor combining safe bonds with speculative value, MT. Strauss said. Calling attention to the meager number of railroad stocks that sell above par, MT. Strauss pointed out that in order to have premium the earnings of the roads must be large enough to permit the payment of dividends which will compare favorably with dividend rates on stocks of industrial and other concerns.
 '"The recent remedial legislation is good so far as it goes,'' he concluded. mum will, I believe, turn out to be wholly inadequate, as time may dem onstrate but a beginning has been made on sound lines, and as time goes on congress will realize that the rate of return on railroad property will have to compare favorably with the returns to be had in other indus tries or else government ownership will inevitably result"

PROPOSED ORDINANCE AIMED AT THOSE WHO SOUND FALSE ALARMS

Under the provisions of an ordinance now being drafted by the city attorney, a reward of $50 will be paid to any one causing the arrest and conviction of person turning in a false fire alarm. According to Fire Chief Simmons. such an ordinance is made imperative be- cause of the large number of false alarms turned in during the year.
 To some people there is a peculiar fascination about a fire alarm pox they cannot resist he said in commenting upon the proposed ordinance. This does not necessarily pertain only to children. In many cases the alarm which brings the department apparatus flying out on a useless errand is sent in by~an adult
 Chief Simmons cited such a case which occurred last Wednesday night. Answering a call at First and Wash ington Streets the firemen found a Mexican at the box. In his hand he held a letter. He looked up in sur prise as the changing fire fighting ma chinery drew up Upon being ques- 1 toned he admitted pulling the box, ex- blaming he thought it was a mail box and he had merely tried to insert a | letter.
 Of more seriousness is the case which the chief told of a man who was seen to deliberately pull a box on the outskirts of the city There had been several false calls from this box be- l fore. A woman told the chief she was sitting in her yard one evening when she saw man walk up to the fireboS on nearby corner and manipulate it 1 She explained that it was not until after she heard the fire whistle sound that she realized false alarm had been sent in.
 1 False alarms are generally turned ir l fI,n faf Aa~ h1rf f0r l the past few months. for some un- known reason, many of these calls have come during the day. Chief Simmons estimates that they will average about six a month.
 "Although such calls entail a loss oi time and money in making the run, he said, ''these features are secondary
 to the danger incurred. National rec ords disclose the peculiar fact that the greater part of accidents attributable to fire departments occur when they are making runs on false alarms

PLAN To ENTERTAIN
OLD SOLDIERS WHEN

One important feature in connection
with the approaching reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans, has not
received much consideration up to
the present time. but a movement was
started Saturday, that will result in
perfecting that most important Of the
program.
The question of enter tainment for
the old veterans, the sponsors, and
maids of honor, has not been seri-
ously considered, but there will be a
meeting at the rooms of the Cham
Der of Commerce, Monday night, at
which time suitable committees will
be appointed, and other arrangements
perfected to make the visitors stay
in Ardmore a pleasant occasion.
1t was intended TO have the meet.
ing at Convention Hall, but the Am
erican Legion have the hall for that
night for a special entertainment OF
their own, so the Chamber of Com
merce donated the use of their
rooms instead.
Mrs. A. Walcott and her able as
sistants, will leave nothing undone
to make the old veterans stay in
this city most pleasant one, the
ranks are rapidly thinning, and 1t is
but the question of n few years when
they will all have passed away.
While they are still with us, the
good women of the south will see to
it that their wants are supplied.

MUCH COTTON HAVE
To Be REPL Al TED
ON ACCOUNT OF RAINS

Rains have interfered materially
with farming operations in this sec
ton of the state in the past week,
and cotton planting has come to a
standstill.
1T is estimated that over half the
crop has been planted in the county
to date, but the chances are that a
lot of the acreage will have to be re-
planted on account Of the excessive
rains that have destroyed the seed
already in the ground.
Carl Russell, former county farm
agent. and Walter Colbert estimated
Friday that rs per cent Of the crop
had been planted, but issue is taken
with them by others who maintain
that so per cent would cover the
actual acreage now in seed.
The rains have been a good thing
for grains, and the corn crop, but are
very 1iscouraging to the cotton farm
er, with the prospect staring him in
the face Of doing what work he has
done all over again, and with an
alarming shortage of cotton seed in
the country
However. Mr.. Russell says that
thirgs under such conditions always
look worse than they really are, and
he predicts that few days warm
sunshine will show the farmer that
most of his fears are grourdless.
