"Uncle" Buck Gardenhire, as he is
known to so many people of this
city, came to the Indian Territory
in 1874 from Sherman, Texas with
his wife, who before her marriage was
Miss Lou Addington of Whitesboro
Texas.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gardenhire lived for
two years in Love county, then went
into the ranchng business. and NOV
ed to a ranch located near where
the city of Wilson now stands. In
fact, the townsite of Wilson was
once on Mr. Gardenhres roundup
grounds.
The move was made in wagons and
almost two days required for the
journey.
The lumber for the new home was
hauled from Denison, Tex, while the
rock for the chimney was hauled 25
miles, from Addington Bend. The
household goods they brought with
them from Texas. There were no
neighbors nearer than 80 miles, so

five days Killed sG deer, u wagon load

The little creek which ran near Mr..
Gardenhres house earned for itself
picturesque name. One day two men,
thinking they were being pursued by
revenue officers, hid a treasured
demijohn Of "cawn' liquor in the
brush on one Of its banks. The officers
never materialized, but neither did the
demijohn, for in their excitement they
had hidden It all too well, and 1t Is
probably there yeti hence the name,
Demijohn Creek
In few years people began to set
tie around the ranch, so that neigh
bors were net so few and far be
tween.
Mr. Gardenhre stayed eight years
on the ranch before moving to Ard
more. where he has lived for over
32 years. Mr. Gardenhire still retains
his ranch, going back and forth be-
tween it and Ardmore His old home
on b street, northwest, was one OF
the first residences In Ardmore, and
his children, Lena and Robert, were
born here
About five years later Mr.. Garden
hire lost a fortune in the cattle bus
mess, due to the market falling, and
sold his ranch.
At the time Mr.. Gardenhire moved
TO Ardmore, there was no regular
plan for street. the houses being built
haphazard, with the town well in the
center. while cows and fleebitten hogs
roamed around at will. At first there
was only government laws, and at
presidential election time, there was
always plenty Of excitement for ev-
eryone. 1t was necessary to go TO
Gainesville for groceries and other
supplies.
Mr.. Gardenhite Is 70 years old and
has lived in Garter county ~ years
He Is strong and robust, and is
true type Of the sturdy. reliable
pioneer who risked everything when
he voluntarily left friends and fam
lily to settle in new country, to be a
breaker of trails into the wilder

would not venture without q leader
It is 10 such men our state owes its
present prosperity and leadership
along so many lines.
Mrs Gardenhire cheerfully under
went experiences which no doubt
would seem terrible hardship to many
women now. Side by side they helped
to make Ardmore what it is today by
doing their part as good citizens, al

of 100000 or more. If one of these
wholesalers or large retailer was sus-

''Oue thing which we had power to

wholesale and retail, trade experts, in
fact. They met, agreed upon the cost
of food staples from week to week
f. o. b. in Philadelphia. They reported
to us, and to this cost we added q
wholesale or retail fixed margin OF
profit. which determined the cost which
the consumer should pay in the average
way.
"'rhese regulations are not in ex-
istence today said Mr.. Hepburn.
To illustrate his point of public re =
sponsibiiity, the former chief counsel
of the food administration recited the
case of u firm of necktie makers who
manufactured a line of geeds to meet
the cry of high prices. They were all
silk re enforced with cheaper material.
Their statesmen could not dispose of
them to the trade. They were too cheap.
The public demanded higher priced
tie and they were compelled to with
draw the entire line at considerable
loss.

existing conditions since, as you say,
the present laws are inadequate to reach
and punish protitcers speedily and effec-
tually?" | inquired,
Tell the public the truth. Show
them that by their extravaganza they
are helping to keep up prices. Wher-
ever they find a dealer who they have
reason to believe is protiteering or is
demanding exorbitant prices for his goods

shop look around for establishments
where the same or as good a grade of
goods can be obtained at lower figures.
Just as they did before the war. Once
Il protitecr finds that his goods are un-
called for he will mark down his prices.
Conditions today are making the prof
iteer, not the protiteer the condition.
"While the Lever act is Inadequate

the power that it did during the war.
yet it is the duty of every good citizen
to cooperate with fair price commit

Cable Briefs

George Bernhard, editor Of the Berlin
Vossische -Zeitung, in an article in
THE Economic League of Nations"
says that in such a union lies the safety
of Europe. He urges the scheme to re-
store financial balance in the Eastern
countries, declaring that customs duties
are no remedy.
French press and diplomacy do not
agree with the Lloyd George policy re-
garding Poland. They want to aid the
Poles in their fight against the Bolshe-
wiki, which the British premier believes
is unnecessary.
The Northcliffe papers have suddenly
united in opposition to the government
policy of wholesale arrests in ireland
as preventive measure against revolu-
ton. THE vice of the present situa-
tion," says the London Times, ''lies in
the fact that while Downing street is,
no doubt, genuinely engaged in seeking
a just measure of Irish autonomy, Ire
land sees only stern and even reckless
coercion"

CAREFUL DRIVING IS
DUTY OF MOTORISTS
Driver Should Always Be Vigilant
to Avoid Accident.
Maintenance Of Car in Good Condition
Is Next Consideration and FIRE.
quent Inspection, Especially of
Wheels, Is Needfui.

Prevention Of accident is the ever
present duty of all motorists. The
driver should always be vigilant to
prevent disaster. Careful driving is,
of course, the first consideration, the
idea being to always avoid risk.
Next comes the maintenance Of the
car in good condition. This requires
frequent inspection, especially of the
wheels. Wheel trouble is too fire.
quently overlooked and the condition
Of the spokes neglected. Loose spokes
make the car unsafe in sudden emer-
gencies, with terrible results in some
cases.
The first indication of loose spokes
are squeaks and paint cracks where
the spokes join at the hub or rib. The
cracks show that the wood has shrunk.
If not attended to promptly, the
spokes work looser, till the stability
of the wheel Is seriously impaired.
Then, at critical moment, the wheel
collapses.
The motorist should always take
time to see that the wheels of his
car are in good running order, for
still other reasons. 1t is much easier
and less expensive to correct defects
in their carly stages than later on.
Again, unsound and insecure wheels
cause all other parts of the car to de-
teriorate more rapidly than they would
otherwise. If the wheels do not run
true the tires soon wear out, the
chassis is warped out Of shape and the
foundation on which the motor rests
weakens SO that the mechanism works
under unnecessary and ruinous strain.
Neglected wheels soon reduce car
to condition of useless junk, where
as little care as occasion demands
adds greatly to it's life, pleasure and
security.
