CITY ATTORNEY TELLS
PART OF THE TRUTH, But
NOT THE WHOLE TRUTH

In Monday evenings Ardmoreite, !.
+. Mason, city attorney, gave out TO
the public his views of why the peo'
pie of this city cannot legally call an
election or the amendment of the
charter of the city of Ardmore. He
quotes from section ), article VIII of
the charter of the city. and calls to
the public's attention the fact that
the election on the amendment cannot
be called until the next election of any
officers of this city. He then says that
he submitted his views TO one Of the
lawyers who drafted the city charter,
and says that this lawyer said to him
that he you'd have done the same as
the city attorney, that is advised the
mayor that no election could he called
until the next general election of Of
ficers for the city.
No doubt tins much of the city at

Fish and Game Laws Slightly
Amended.

Some changes in the act recent
ly passed by the general assembly

amending the old law, will prove
of interest to sportsmen.

uary 81. Quail and wild turkey
November Is to February Is, the

Reforestration Practicable and
Profitable.

Dear Editor Era.Leader'--
I have read with serious inten.
sity the articles of Mr.. johnson
of the Great Southern Lumber
Go. relative to reforesting and
conservation of timber. AS a
member of the coming generation
I feel that nothing is going to
shape the modes of our destiny
more than our timber supply.
Therefore it is a subject of vital
interest to every one that cares
for the welfare of the future gen.
erations, It should be the sole
aim of every individual to leave
the world 10 better condition than
when he found it and this il sure.
ly an ideal way in which he might
execute this ambition.
Reforesting and conservation
of timber is an industry, (for an
industry it is indeed) that re-
ouires time and thought. And
to meet with the success that
we would have 1t, Legislation and
cooperation are dire necessities.
For never will the growth of
timber increase when subjected
each year to it's most ravenous
, and destructive enemy-dre.
Cooperation is required on the
part of the public TO aid in the
movement and to see that the
authority of the law is exercised
to it's fullest capacity.
| I am of the opinion that thu
reason for the slowness OF thu
public to grasp this opportunity
of conserving, aud reforesting il
some instances, is directly du'
to ignorance Of the real advan
ltages afforded in it. They dom
seem to realize that they may

The Iceless Refrigerator.

There has been much discon.
tentment in the country homes
that can be remedied with very
little expense. You will hear the

they cannot get ice therefore
they can not save milk so they
can get cream for butter in hot
weather. This is an illusion be.
cause now in the time of house.
hold conveniences, there is some.
thing called the iceless refriger.
ator that will answer the purpose
of our refrigerators cooled with
ice,
Of these there are several diff.
ferent types all working on the
same principal.
Make a frame work of shelves,
say four or five, one above the
other, ten or twelve inches apart
and with dimensions to suit yes
sells usually used to cool milk and
foods. These shelves may be
round, square, or rectangular in
shape, Cover all sides with wire
screening. Copper ia the best
since it will not rust; this is to
prevent flies from getting in.
Make a cover of heavy cloth, cot
ton flannel or burlap is good. 1t
should be heavy enough TO hold
moisture and still elbow q free
circulation of air. Place a buck
ct or big pan on top filed with
cold water and q pan underneath.
Four wicks are made from dou'
BILE thickness of the cloth and
fastened to the top of the cloth
| cover, the loose ends are placed
| in the pail or pan. By the pro
cess of capillarity the cover ii
kept wet, evaporation takes
place consequently the temper
ature inside of the frame is low
cred.
The refrigerator may be plac
ed under q tree where there il
shade all day, in a hall or in I
room by a window where Their
is q draft.
! Other things than milk can b.
! kept in q refrigerator. such a
left overs from dinner, fruit o
anything that needs to be KEEP
cool. In this way people on til
farm can have butter during tn

Thompson Reviews Cotton Sit.
nation.

The desperate efforts of the
bear interests to break the cotton
market on the eve OF the new sea-
son, SOFAS to spread panic among
the growers, have only been par.
TALLY successful because the far
mers who have adopted the slogan
of the American Cotton Associ.
alton have been stiffened in their
resistance to these Influences, and
have been by several incidents
during the week just passed.
The first of these was . review
81 the situation issued by chair
man W. B. Thompson, of the.
Louisiana Division in which he
pointed out the malefic influences
which bad been brought to bear
upon raw cotton prices just at
This time, and showed how the
attitude of the Federal Reserve
Board, both in its summary Of the
aituation, and its withdrawal Of
credits, was contributing to the
general depression. The first re.
suit Of the publication, was the
issuance Of q pronouncement by
the Federal Reserve Board that
It had not ordered member banks
Of the Federal Reserve system to
limit loans on cotton, and as this
was the first definite statement
along this line, it had q marked
effect throughout the South, and
caused an immediate rise in the
future cotton market.
MIR. Thompson in his review
pointed out that low grade cotton
wac understandable, and the
more that was added to the stock
on hand, would DO used 40 q club
70 beat down the price Of the
higher grades, so he urged all
farmers to pick only the bette,
grades OF cotton, and when the
rainy season came on to turr
their cattle into the cotton fields
and not pick any more, 40 thi,
would be largely damaged or un,
f'nsfchantabls cotton. This woult
rave the farmer the expense O
picking, and besides remove
liability. If generally followe,
this practice would relieve IT,
aplnnable cotton, and at the sam
ans reduce the aggregate Of tn
efcpa million or two million bale,
Ii would transfer tho ......:,...,
