II. r. Shine, secretary Of the
Retail Merchants Association,
stated today that every business
man in the city who has been
asked about closing Saturday
night, and remaining closed until
Tuesday morning in observation Of
July 4, has agreed to do so.
and for that reason there will be
very little business Of any sort
transacted in Ardmore between
the days specified.
Mr.. Shine urges that everyone
do their shopping before closing
hours Saturday night. If they do
so, he said, there VIII be no neces-
sity for any inconvenience on ac-
count Of closed stores.
Restaurants and drug stores
will be the only establishments
open in the city, and these will
be operated in such shifts that
win give each employe a certain
portion of the time off.

Scouts James Dolman and Robert
Hefner, who left last night for the
big international Scout Jubilee at
London, England, will be guests of
Chicago Rotarians, upon their arrival
in that city Wednesday morning. Sew.
eral hours will be spent in Chicago
and according to messages received by
the local club, the Rotary headquar-
ters and the Chicago club will make
their stay in that city one of real
pleasure.
The Rotary Club Of New York City,
and the seventeen clubs Of England
have also been notified OF the depart
ure of the Ardmore scouts for those
cities, and there is no doubt but that
the true Rotary spirit is prevailing
and the young boys received with all
welcome and escorted TO places OF
interest in these cities.
The boys were formally accepted
as honorary members Of the Ardmore
Rotary Club yesterday. This was
made possible for the reason that
their fathers are members Of the club
Rotarians, throughout the world, as
other clubs Of international member
ship give much time and thought
to boys, and scouting occupies promi
nent part in their program Of welfare
work.
The boys were accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. L S. Dolman, who will gC
with them as far as New York City

1.-THE Ardmore OF today is vastly
different from the Ardmore of 1882"
remarked H. w. Stark, of the whole
sale house OF Stark Drug Company,
Gainesville, Texas, yesterday. Il re-
member quite well my first visit to
Ardmore," he continued, in reminis'
cent mood. There were two or three
drug stores, but no brick buildings,
and 1t wasn't a difficult thing to
make" the town at that time. And the
trade, in proportion, was just as good
then as now.
During the early days we stopped
at the best-and only hotel in town,
The Commercial That gave way to
the old Windsor, which was burned
down, and then we went to the Whit
tington.
II have seen Ardmore pass through
fires and explosions and always
come out on top and I believe she
will continue growing" he said.
