RURAL SCHOOLS SHOW
WONDERFUL IN GREASE

The teachers of Carter County are
making their annual reports TO County
Superintendent Coffman and the per
cent OF attendance shows a vast In
crease over previous years. Carter
County has had between five and SIX
hundred applicants of seventh and
eighth grade pupils, the seventh taxing
only few subjects this year and will
finish next.
The report to the State Superinten-
dent is being prepared and will be sent
in at the earliest date possible in order
that the diplomas may be returned
by June II, on which date at 1880 D.
IN all OF the graduates will meet at
the Ardmore High School to receive
their diplomas and hear State Sup
erintendent r. H. Wilson speak. The
parents OF these children, school board
members, teachers and all friends of
education are cordially invited TO be
present
Mr.. Wilson is very much interested
in the rural schools of the state and
has rendered a wonde<ful service to
them through the state department.
This is his first opportunity to speak
to the children of Carter county and
it is the desire of the educational de-
partment that every person avail him
self Of the opportunity to hear him.
County Superintendent Coffman has
been asked to name l2 teachers who
will go to Durant June 14th for one
weeks course in Vitalized Agriculture
which has been provided by the state
board Of education.
These lectures will be given by DR..
G. p. Holden OF Chicago, assisted by
Miss Margaret Streeter of Camden
N. j, 1t is to be regretted that every
teacher in Carter county can't take
this worl~- but the twelve teacherc
who have kindly consented to go and
take the work will endeavor to prove
to their school board next year the
real value of the work and we hope
that in the near future we may be able
to place 1t in every school in the
county.
County Superintendent Coffman feels
sure that every teacher is anxious tc
bring to h<i community those things
which are and will be of the great
est benefit to the children. No teache,
is barred from taking the work, but
the number is limited to twelve be
cause Of the fact that the great mum
ber from this district would be more
than could be accommodated at on,
time.
Blanks for the annual report ol
the clerks Of the various districts ar,
being mailed and the estimate shee
will follow soon.

ARDMORE MAST|C PAINT
ANOTHER BOOST FOR THE
CITY |NDUSTR|A LIFE

John +. Nolan Of the John +. Nolan
Paint and Varnish Company of this
city, was elated yesterday when he
announced that after several years
struggle he began TO see great tu'
ture for the factory that is operated
in n small way In this city,
Mr.. Nolan, who Is an expert chem
ist and an authority ON varnishes and
all its side lines, came to Ardmore
several years ago with some promoters
who proposed to open factory, using
the asphalt mined near Woodford as
base for their output
For some reason the company neyer
got much farther than building qn>
equippng small factory in south
Ardmore when the whole affair went
to the wall.
Mr. Nolan discovered that he raw
material found at the mines was the
best in the world, and mis- faith il,
the finished product, he was able
TO produce with it, never faltered.
When the rest of the party took
their departure he remained and al
though operating on what might be
termed a shoe string, he stuck with
characteristic Irish tenacity, and
turned out just enough finished pro
duct 10 keep himself employed. and tc
I introduce 1t to those who use such
material.
After a hard struggle he attracted
the notice of several consumers who
use this product, among them the
railroad companies operating in anC
out of this city. They began using
his product in a small way for boiler
heads and other iron work requirinl
paint, and it was not long before tn,
r5liners and oil operators began tC
coNei their tanks with his masti,
paint.
From his meager beginning he wa
soon able to branch out, until h,
worked up quite a bit of out.of.towI
.rale. and now every one of his cus
toners are boosting the produc

To while.
The question Of raw material wa
a nightmare to Mr.. Nolan, the mine
from which it is obtained are lo
Gated eighteen miles from the city, IA
off rail transportation lines, and /
was an expensive proposition getting
the rock here, refining it and bringing
1t to its crude state.
1t required capital to do this, ant
that is just the ingredient Mr.. Nolai
was shy of when it came to puttini
the paint before the public
Now comes the announcement tha
the mines are to be put in opera
tion, after being idle for six years
and a refinery established where tn
rock will be reduced before it come
to the city.
; This work Is to be taken up by tn
High Grade Asphalt Company of Tuls
who have secured an interest in tn
mines, and will operate them to caps
city.
: This new firm has all the financif
backing needed, and will be able
get out the product in large quar-
titles as long as there is a demand fo
it.
Aside from furnishing raw materi;

to Mr.. Nolan at a greatly reduc
cost, they have other plans in vic'
The product has been found to
very superior base for the manufaO
ture of Synthetic rubber, and roof
coatings, and the raw material will
be shipped from the mines to fac.
tories that have been established in
the great trade centers OF the north
and east at Milwaukee. Pittsburgh
Buffalo, Boston and Canton, Ohio
Mr.. Nolan has managed to keep
the little factory in south Ardmore in
operation in a small way and it is
thoroughly equipped to make a lot
Of his products.
He hopes 70 see the plant in opera
tion to its utmost capacity before
many months, as there is an increas-
ing demand for his product which has
proven superior to anything Of the
kind on the market under the most
severe tests.
In speaking Of the future Mr.
| Nolan said: Il don't want to become
| too optimistic all of a sudden. | have
have had some very cherished hopes
| Knocked from under me in the pas,
but | do feel that something really
worthwhile is going to happen in the
paint and varnish business here, now
that a company with capital has Sc
cured the right to the mines, and
will operate them on a business basi,
If they do I am not at all worried
about the future. [ know what the
raw material is and I also know
what can be done with it under my
process, and the market is WORLD
wide.
When | discovered the value OF this
product | made up my mind that some
day a suitable factory would bt
located here for the manufacture OF
mastic paint and all its by-products
my ~2nfidence in the proposition ha,
never waned. and some day I hopj
to see Ardmore known far land wide
for the quality of the paints and var
nishes turned out as well as for it.

Mr.. Corner, who happens to be Judge
of the Twentieth Judicial District by
virtue OF an appointment at the hands
of Governor Stewart, insists that to
act as an ex-of11co auditor, by vir-
tue Of being a Judge Of the District
Court, as is provided by law, is a in
dicial act, and that he must be ap-
preached by regular judicial proce-
dure, with all its attendant farce
comedy stuff, in order for him to ren-
der a decision, which he writes at
great length, after reading ten or
twenty pages Of pleadings pro and con
and he allowing all the objections and
exceptions and other distractions
thrown about an issue, and then hidesi
behind the evidence that happens to
trickle through and renders a decision,
according to the evidence brought out
without regard to the facts in the
case and then expects to avoid criti-
cism of his acts by virtue of the halo
and les majesty theory that is sup
posed to surround a court procedure.
And in this way hoping to give his
acts the appearance of being a tleci-
sion of the court and thus hootlwink-
ing and hefuddling and camouflaging
the public.
However, the Producers News
knows that this proceeding has not,
ing to do with the Twentieth Jue9ic Al
District nor Judge Conner as the
judge therof, and knows that the pro-
cedure that G. E. Conner is surround
ing his acts as ex-officio auditor. is

A conversation which Tom johnson,
the Cleveland >rcformer, had with
Mayor Pingree Of Detroit many years
ago is also in point. johnson owned
about half of the street car system of
Detroit, and wanted the other half.
Pingree, a reform mayor, had put
through an ordinance forbidtling the
sale of the other company to john
son. johnson smiled and said "In a
few days a Mr.. Smith of New York
will come here and buy the other COM
pany: Smith, of course, will be work.
Tell me, atesaimed pihgree in
despair, show can ! prevent you from
buying the other company"
There is only one way" replied
johnson, land that is for the city To
own it."
"What if the farmers should
strike?" A good many farmers have
been asking this question with the
thought that it is about time they
did against the bogus cost-of-living
drive. And there has been a consid-
cradle strike of farmers in Illinois and
Indiana. But the kept press has TAX
en- up the question in the hope OF
intimidating city workers who strike
against the special interests. One
might say that it is now a popular
song with the whole crew of corrupt
journalism from Successful Farming
to the Wall Street Journal.
The New York Call, a worker-own-
ed paper in New York, points out
that the last thing the interests want
would be farmers standing up for
their rights. The farmers would not
be striking against city workmen, but
for better credit facilities, market re-
form, protection for cooperation, fair
taxation, etc. All Of which would hit
the financial spiders. And the Call
concludes:
THE future of the farmers lies
somewhere along these lines, not in
making faces at the city workers to
the amusement of an exploiting class.
which skins both. When both rural
and urban: workers understand that
they kaxe mere in common with each
other than they have with any section;
