In Most Useful
Citizen Contest
DR.. Hardy Draws
The Largest Vote

In the votes east Tor the most
useful citizen of Ardhnore DIR. Wal.
ter Hardy of the Hardy Hospital
was favorite and received the
largest number Of votes. The friends
OF Buck Garrett were also imds-
ually active and the sheriff receiv.
cd q vote that is bound TO be very
pleasing TO hun and his friends.
Sam A. Apple also received an
unusually heavy vote as Ardmore's
most useful citizen as did Bert
Simpson, c. l.. Anderson and Roy
VI. Johnson. Each Of the ministers
received votes that they might well
be proud OF. The matter OF the Sc.
lection Of the most useful citizen
was done at the request of the
Daily 0klahomnn and more will be
said after that paper has handled
tho item in the way which II de.
sires 10 do so.
The one feature that clings TO
the question In Ardmore Is that
no one man towers out up and
above other men. Ardmore has a
number OF very useful citizens in
their line OF work. Each one Is
public spirited according 70 his In.
terpretatlon Of what being public
spirited means and many Of these
men have done many useful things
for their home city and their home
people.
Tho interest that was manifested
In Mr., Apple yesterday In the vot:
ing was sufficient to make him feel
very proud Of the appreciation the
people have for his activities In
behalf OF Ardmorc. Mr.. Apple makes
music his hobby and Il is q good
one for q city. He was active In the
building OF The new hotel, he has
aided In building the refinery In
terests OF the city, he gives much
OF his time to the Chamber Of Com.
merce and there IL scarcely a civic
movement where he has not been
very active.

FARMERS ASKED TO
SELL OATS AT Low
PRICE OF 20 CENTS

Farmers report that oats have
opened up at 20 cents a bushel This
is a discouragngly low price and the
chances are that sales will be unit
sually light The crop was rather
light also In this section Of the
state Grain buyers state that they
have made efforts to get delivery con-
tracts. but they have been somewhat
disappointed In their efforts. The
low price which prevails will be an
incentive to provide their farms with
livestock to feed the oats 20 rather
than to sell at the ridiculously low
price which is being offered.
