State Fish and Game Department and
Forestry Officials Cooperating in
Planting the Young Fish.

Forest Ranger NJ. f.. Ames last week
made n trip to Gold Hill, taking in
5000 brook trout from the local hatch
cry for planting in the lakes of that
district. The fish were liberated in
Dipper Lake, Stampmill lake. and Mag
nolia lake, where they will be protect
ed and have n splendid chance to grow
to large size. Mr.. Ames had good sue
cess in transporting the little fellows,
losing but 20 out of the 5000 on the
trip.
That the work of stocking these
lakes in n thorough m is to be
taken up by the forestry and state of

A possible tragedy was narrowly
averted Wednesday at Healdton when
Mrs. Claude Porter rashly attempted
to thwart officers in the discharge of
their duty, and only iron nerve and
good judgment of the officers pre-
vented the tragedy.
Sheriff Buck Garrett and Deputy
Sheriff Bud Barew motored to Heald-
ton yesterday for the purpose of To-
eating d still which they believed to
be at the home of Porter. They had
raided Porters home at Healdton sew
ela weeks ago and found some liquor.
When they arrived at the same place
yesterday they discovered that Por-
ter had moved. and by following
some wagon tracks, reached q house
located at the foot of some large hills.
Garrett entered the house through the
front door, while Ballew went through
side entrance. AS the former entered
he noticed a woman, carrying a five-.
gallon ju. of whisky, running to
room in the rear of the house. The
room into which she ran had a

she threw the bottle to the ground
and broke it TO pieces. Garrett fol-
lowed lher, and Ballew also entered.
The two men were not positive as to
the identity of the woman, and nei-
ther were they sure that the home was
that of Porter. So by engaging in
conversation with the woman, and
employing some diplomacy in the
manner Of speech, Garrett soon dis
covered that the woman was Mrs.
Porter aml That the liquid was liquor.
Garrett told the woman that she
must accompany them back 10 Ard
more. While she was changing her
dress the two men waited on the
porch outside the house. After some
time had elapsed the officers heard
shot fired in the house. Ballew. who
had been sitting on the porch, entered
standing on the ground, Immediately
climbed the porch and followed. AS
soon as Ballew opened the door, the
woman confronted him with revol-
yer in her hand and in profane
manner ordered him TO clear out"
Ballew had also drawn his gun, and
the two stood face { face with guns
pointed at each other. In the mean
time Garrett had entered. He observ-
ed that the woman's finger on the
trigger was not drawn tight, but
feared that it would be, il he at
tempted TO advise her TO drop the
gun, or attempted to interfere. His
attitude in this respect without a doubt
saved both the lives Of Ballew and the
woman. for although Ballew would
not have shot before the woman had
shot him, undoubtedly he gould have

There are Legislators and there are
lawsmiths. Unfortunately, the fact
chargeable to conditions for which
there seems to be no remedy, the lat
ter class predominates and holds the
balance of power in the legislative
halls of practically every state in the
union.
Shortsightedness upon the part OF
'lawsmlths,' or possibly desire upon
the part of those unqualified 10 per
petuate themselves in office, keeps
the pay Of members of the legisla-
ture in all states of this union down
to such prohibitive low de-
gree, the high cost of living consid-
cred, that few men who are really
worth while can be found who are
willing to take the time from lucra-
tive business to devote TO securing the
enactment of good laws.
Thus it is that the man who IL
really interested in seeing meritorious
enactments incorporated in n states
statutes, the man who would be a
real legislator, stays at home and
leaves the work of law making in
the hands Of the unlearned and the
unqualified "lawsmith," knowing that
sooner or later the courts will sift
the grain from the chaff and save
the few acts which come within the
scope Of the constitution.
Fortunately there are always a few
men found who are willing to sacri-
flee individual interests for the public
veal. These few constitute the rank
and file and working force Of leg
islative session, they are the "legis-
lators." They are, reduced to an in
tegral, the small bunch of leaven
which must add life and sense and
business to the whole loaf. They
constitute the unit of manganese
which is expected to turn the crucible
filled with low-grade ore into hard
ened and refined steel. And the
quantity of good is so small, as n
rule, that only the poorest ingots
are turned out of the lawmin.

A LEGISLATIVE JEWEL

The Oklahoma house of representa-
tives, after having overwhelmingly de-
feated the Soldier Hospital Bill, is
upon the point of reconsidering the
vote by which it said the stricken
boys of this state, those who shattered
their lives and ruined their constitu-
tions in the trenches "over there"
fighting for the safety of civilization
of the Christian world, were of less
value than are the dollars and cents
in the states treasury. The members
Of the majority party in the houses
are, perhaps, even now revampne
and changing the votes which they
cast last week and writing by so
doing, a new slogan for the Republi-
can party of this state, q slogan
which will read. "Oh. Inconsistency,
thou are a jewel"
1t is now practically settled that
the Republican house will reconsider
its disgraceful anti-soldier vote and,
following in the footsteps of the Demo-
cratic senate. do something for the
disabled soldiers who left their homes
and firesides and offered their lives
upon their country's altar.
But, no matter what action the
house nlay now take, no matter how
many relief measures it may pass,
the blot will remain for all time,
smear, a smudge, a disgraceful stain
upon the fair name of Oklahoma,
stain which will never be eliminated,
soiled spot which will not cleanse,
a putrid blemish which the house
OF representatives placed upon hte
good name of every Hbery-loving,
every loyal American man and wo-
man Of oklahoma when its Republi
can membership cast its barbarous
vote against the measure which pro-
vided for the Christian care Of the
ones who went to the front, who
drove the Hun from the blood-stained
soil of France, who throttled the de-
mon Of autocracy as it paved at the
very doors of American institutions
and American freedom.
Ingratitude, base, senseless. insane
ingratitude. that ingratitude which
might well be styled the unforglvable
sin, was written across the fairest
page of Oklahoma's history, the page
which told the story Of the loyalty OF
Oklahomans to their country's flag,
by the Republican house of represen-
tatives when the vote Of the majority
party members killed the soldier re-
lief bill and all reconsiderations can
not wash that sin away.

IRON NERVE AND GOOD JUDGMENT OF

pulled Immediately after. He vrderei
the woman to drop the gun and for
tunately she complied with his COM
mand. The officers then took her
into custody and together the trio
went to Healdton where the men
searched the wagon yard run by Por-
ter in that town. While the search
was going on Porter appeared and
admitted that the five-gallon jug of
whiskey which his wife had destroyed
had belonged to him. Porter censured
his wife for the gun play which she
had attempted on the officers.
The officers brought Porter to Ard
more, where ne was released under
$1,000 bond.
The woman was not taken into Gus
tody because of the fact that she has
four children who attend the schoo
at Healdton, and Is herself in poor
health.

PRODUCTIVE ADVERTISING

Advertising pays. None will offer
to dispute this assertion, especially
when it is qualified to read Sensible
advertising pays"
The merchant who sells good goods
at q fair margin of profit, and who
uses the columns of the daily and the
weekly press in exploiting his wares
and telling of his bargains, will GER
tify to the truth of this.
Advertising has built up small busi-
ness and developed little beginnings
into big results. 1t has taken the
small dealer and evolved him into
the merchant prince. 1t has taken
the small-bore ward politician and
turned out the finished statecraft pro-
duct, and it has taken the Sleepy Hol-
low town and turned it into the bust
ling city, the city teeming with peo-
pie, filled with hustling commercial
interests, staunch and strong finan-
cially.
Ardmore as n municipality, as fu-
ture metropolis, as a city which Is
filled with people who do things,
might do well to consider this and to
remember that page one" newspaper
advertising is the easiest possible thing
for a city to secure.
Worked out systematically, handled
by someone who understands the art
of publicity, any city can break into
the newspapers. And, handled as
above set forth, any city can get the
most desirable advertising from the
press Of sister cities at u minimum
of expense
Let a city turn its attention TO
home building, let il offer induce
ments TO manufacturing enterprises,
let it exploit the fact that 1t offers
exceptional advantages in all lines OF
commercial pursuits, that it has the
best schools, the purest water, the
most exceptional fire-fighting equip
ment, the lowest insurance rates, the
most reasonable rentals. and the
papers all over the United States
will grab the news stories setting
forth these facts and literally eat
them up.
Thus II is, worked out systemau-
cally, Ardmore, just as can any other
city in the United States, can keep
itself in the public eye, can at
tract the attention of the investor, Of
