MOTHER FILES SUIT
ASK|N G FOR CHILDREN
AND AN ALLOWAN CE

Alleging non-support, Miriam Tigert,
through her attorneys, Champion and
George. has filed suit in the district
court for divorce against Claude a,
Tgcrt.
The Tigert's We're married on Aug
us, lst, 1916, at Durant. They have
two children, John Walter, aged 2,
who is in the custody of the plain
tiff, and Lois, aged 81, who is with
the defendenant.
The plaintiff in the case is Miss
issippi Choctaw Indian, 1-32 by blood.
AT the time she was married. it is
alleged in the petition, she owned
land valued at sl2,5OO and possessed
$500 i'm cash, the greater part OF
which was squandered by the defend
ant, and forcing the plaintiff TO go ia
work. The plaintiff left the defend
/ ant on June 25th, 1920.
| In her petition, the plaintiff prays
| for a monthly allowance and custody
Of the two children.
The plaintiff alleges that she had
both children in her custody until
November 5th at which time the de-
fendant came TO Ardmore and se-
cured possession of the older child,
Lois, without the knowledge of the
plaintiff, and that he has retained
and concealed her since. The mother
demands that the child be placed in
her custody Immediately and that she
be permitted to keep it until the trial,
when she desires that the court as
sign her as permanent custodian OF
the children.
The mother Of the plaintiff, Sallie
/ V. Marks, has filed a separate peti-
/ ton for a writ of habeas corpus, in
which she alleges that Lois Tigert,
her granddaughter, is being illegally
restrained by Claude Tigert, and de-
mands that the child be returned TO
| its mother.

SUITABLE OBSERVANC Ct
OF ANNIVERSARY Of
STATEHOOD IS URGED

This is the anniversary day of the
signing of the bin which conferred
the rights Of statehood upon Oklahoma
and is one of the most important
days in the history of the state.
Coming in such close proximity 10
Armistice Day, November It will
probably never take its place as an
important holiday on the calendar Of
this state but the event should never
be passed without a feeling of graft
tude upon the part of the people,
sad an Ardmore citizen today.
In speaking further Of the day and
of its Importance the speaker said
'if statehood had brought to this
country nothing more than the ad-
vancement II has brought to the edu.
cational interests of the state then
statehood would have been worth many
times more than the cost Of maintain
ing government. In the old days there
were no schools, there We're no roads,
there were no means provided for
building and maintaining such insti-
tutions and statehood has conferred
wonderful blessings upon our people.
The schools of the state ought never
to pass the day without making suit
able Observance in keeping with what
it has meant 10 the children of the
state"

NWAN|S CLUB DECLARED
TO Be MOST IMPORTANT
OF ALL ORGANIZATIONS

Kiwanis enjoyed a splendid meeting
today at the Chamber of Commerce.
which concluded with a talk by James
Barron. secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce, who, among other
things of interest declared that 'the
Kiwanis Club is the most important
organization of its kind in the city"
He urged the members TO adhere
closely to the club slogan 1--WE Build" "
applying the same to the club, TO
the city, and to themselves.
why do l say the Kiwanis Club
Is the most important organization"
Mr.. Barron stated, "it is because you
are composed Of the young business
men of the town. The city depends
upon you to carry on the work OF
city building. But first you must
surrender some of your personal in
clinations, If you desire that your
club means as much TO you, as other
club organizations mean To their
members The club is essentially Il
selfish proposition, it is wrong
idea If you think your club Is organ
lied to build up anything besides
yourself and your city. The man
who does not think selfishly of self
and club has nothing to offer un-
selfishly TO others. Ardmore will de-
pend upon Kiwanis, especially so'
throughout the next decade. We
Build you could have no better slo-
gan, and when you build. build from
the bottom up and build for all time'
not Just for the present
Mr.. Barron then presented numer-
Gus plans for the building OF the
city which will develop later. and In
each OF these plans, Kiwanis has a
definite part, he said.
Among guests today were OlIn

invitation to all to attend the services

THIRTEEN YEARS AGO


Thirteen years ago today, President
Theodore Roosevelt signed the proc
lamation which made Oklahoma Terri
tory the state of oklahoma.
Telegraph wires flashed the news
TO the people of the territory and
at noon, On the steps of he Carne-
gle Library, at Guthrie, Charles n.
Haskell was inaugurated the first
governor of the infant state.
Never in the history of the United
States has any one of the integrals
admitted to the union shown so much
advance, so much progress, so much
development as has Oklahoma.
Coming into statehood with a pro-
hibition clause in its constitution
its admission marked the closing OF
the biggest breweries which were ever
established and operated in any ter
ritory. and coming into statehood
with a citizenry of progressive people
already here, no other state ever
admitted has shown the phenomenal
progress into greatness which has
boen shown by Oklahoma.
During the past thirteen years
Oklahoma has developed from wild
and partially settled country, where
the cowman ruled supreme and tho
small farmer was unknown, into a
state which now ranks well up in the
front of agricultural progress.
With the development Of agricul
tural interests, came the opening OF
a vast trade territory, which called
for the establishment in different
growing towns of wholesale business
Enterprises, which came and multiplied
until, today, Oklahoma Is recognized
throughout the commercial world as
III, ing within its borders more whole
sale. or jobbing distributing houses,
IN iatio to its population, than has
any one of the older states.
And during the past thirteen years,
replete with the story of the develop
ment of Oklahoma, came the discovery
of oil and the development of the oil
pools of this section, until today Ok
lahoma practically leads in the pro-
duction of the oil which supplies the
United States.
Not the least integral Of oklaho-
mas development may Ardmore be
noted. Established with the building
of the first few huts which supplant-
ed the rag houses which noted the
initial town of Ardmore when the
Santa Fe through this section Of the
old Indian Territory, this town, pro-
gressive from the start has dcvel-
oped, during the thirteen years which
have elapsed since statehood into "a
real metropolis, filled with a ciuZeury
Of the most progressive. a ciuzenry
which will keep on working until,
with the chronicing Of another few
statehood anniversaries make this
the leading city Of all south Oklahoma.

He had a good line Of goods, backed
