A HU n TIN c STORY
WITH LOCAL COLOR

That species of water fowl known
as the mallard duck is much sought
after in the vicinity of Ardmore.
Since the cold spell of Tuesday
around has been we'll staked out
by duck hunters. Between four ana
five in the morning. from one to
two hours before daylight, roads
leading to the lakes resemble a city
boulevard on midsummer day for
automobiles. Early morning hunting
does not seem to be confined to any
one class. Both expensive cars and
less expensive machines are seen.
First come, first served" seems
to be the invitation to hunters. There
fore, etiquette of sportsmanship is not
so strict until the ponds are reached
Early Armistice Day morning three
machines were making their way to-
ward the lakes. Two of them were
of mediocre build. The second car
passed the one in the lead. This
was an incentive for two young hunt
crs in the high-powered car in the
rear to pass them both. Brisk com
petition resulted for a mile or so
when it was found they were head
ed for ponds in different directions
| The reward was not so much IL
| the superior marksman as 10 th'
strategist, and the one who was
| free TO stay on the water an houl
or so after daylight.
For those who were Compelled te
return to town before breakfast rab
bit shooting proved an attraction. ON
Young fellow who looked like h
knew more about sociology thai
hunting, emptied his magazine at
cottontail that had evidently got los
from its mother. In defense OF hi
craftsmanship, he protested that on
shot was an accident, but that par
ticular one registered the nearest Il
a hit up to the time the fatal sho
was fired. And at that, he found
necessary to club the rabbit afte
picking it up.

Making airships somewhat after the
pattern OF the German Zeppelin is the
ambition of Charles Ora, an inventor
hnd business man who resides in Kan
sas City. Mr. Ora worked out plan
for a ship that will have "A capacity
of fifty passengers and several tons
of baggage and he called in a num-
ber Of mechanics and laid his plans
before them These mechanics thought
well enough of the plans to raise
hmong themselves sum of money
sufficient to build ship. This ship
has been completed, it has been PRO-
tected by letters Of patent, shops and
hangers have also been built, the
machine which has been completed
has been tested, according to his
statement, and proves worthy of air
navigation.
1t has large bag similar to the
Constrnction of the Zeppelin, 1t uses
ihelium gas which is non-explosive, 1t
rises from the ground with ease and
can descend at any point 50 slowly
that 1t shields passengers from any
Shock.
The first machine was built at d
cost of $l25,00O, which money was
contributed by men who had faitl
y the proposition and by men whC
have knowledge of mechanics.
In order to make this invention
Servceable ii will require the organi
zation of company with plenty o.
funds and Mr.. Ora and his associates
nave come to Ardmore for help. They
offer to make this city station, the!
offer to name their first ship fo
this city and to begin immediate
construction work here if Ardmore ac
cepts the proposition Of taking $25,
900 worth Of stock.
II. A. Williams, a mechanic of thi
city. is one of the original investors
in this company and he has state
ment to Ardmore people in this paper
Mr.. Williams states that Mr.. Orm
will be here tomorrow, and will Sc
bankers and other business men AM

ment he will begin at once TO pu
Ardmore on the map as an air statiol
and will prove to these people tina
air navigation is no longer an expert

that the air companies will max
large profits on their Investments.
