CLUB CAMP AT FALLS

1t is interesting to see how Mrs. Minnie B.
Church has aroused Carter county to real-
zation of the Importance of agricultural club
work and it is equally interesting to observe
how she managed to have all classes of people
cooperating with her.
Her last movement is to begin a campaign
to raise a sufficient sum of money to build a
club house and barracks for boys and girls for
the camp which has been established at Turner
Falls. The story of the annual encampment
of the children has been taken to the A. and
M. College and the movement was indorsed
there and the clubs of all the state have made
Turner Falls the annual meeting place.
She took the message of her club encamp-
ment to the state house and the governor and
the treasurer and the president of the board Of
agriculture were guests at the first encanp-
ment for a day and so well were they pleased
that Governor and Mrs Robertson have agreed
to come and remain this summer during the
four days of encampment
The encampment date has been set for
July 1921, inclusive. There will be a full
moon during the stay of the children in the
mountains and the flood of moonlight in the
Arbuckles will create scene that will forever
lnger in the memories of the children who
visit the camp this summer
There are to be raised in the county the
sum of $4,000. This sum has been divided into
60 equal parts of 500 each and one part has
been assigned to each of the 50 school districts
in the county with Ardmore Healdton, Wilson
and Berwyn to raise more than their pro rata
part to help out in some of the weaker districts
of the county.
This is the first time that Ardmore and
the entire portion of the county has ever lined
up on one endeavor and it will be interesting
to observe how the city schools and the rural
schools work together on one project.
In order for the buildings to be available
for this summer it is needful that the cam
paign for the raising of the money be started
at once. 1t is planned to hold box suppers in
Ardmore and in every other portion of the
county. The plans for city and country are
the same and as the reports of results Of these
box suppers come in to the Office of the county
superintendent it will be interesting to observe
what communities are awake to the movement.
1t is believed that friendly spirit of rivalry
will be begun that will put the movement lover
the top within few weeks.

FORUM MEETINGS

What are to be known as forum meetings"
are to be made permanent institutions of this
city. The movement has been started by the
Chamber of Commerce and the first meeting
will be held Monday at noon luncheon at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms.
II you are member of the Chamber of
Commerce you are invited to take lunch Mon
day at noon, at the Chamber of Commerce. If
you have a suggestion for the good of the club,
for the good of the city or for the good of any
institution of the city you will have an oppor-
tunity to present that suggestion to the men,
bership of the club.
If you are member of the Chamber of
Commerce and also member of one of the
civic clubs of the city you are invited to the
Monday luncheon but you are supposed to
occupy place at the table only in case there
is room for you.
If you are member of the Chamber Of
civic clubs you are especially invited to the
Monday Forum, and you are assured that you
will be taken care of for a good dinner and
will also be given an opportunity to make
any suggestion you desire to make for the good
of the city.
These forum meetings are to be held regu-
larly. They will develop some good speakers,
they will develop some good workers, they will
arouse much interest they will give the men,
bers an opportunity to elbow with other men,
bers and they will give out many practical
business ideas.
If you happen to be one of the members of
the club who cannot see any worthy accom-
plishments made by your organization then
you owe it to yourself to be at this meeting
No city can build unless all the progressive
people in the city work together to accomplish
big things. These forums are designed for
the purpose Of providing useful channels of
endeavor for every member of the club.
The man who pays and works never COM
plains of the lack of achievement. The man
who stands aloof and does not understand is
more likely to find that the club does not meas
ure up to his requirements.
Will you be at the first forum meeting
Monday at noon?

to move away at any time that there was no
use to purchase property until he was perma-
nently located. This man kept staying here,
he kept drifting about here and there, as one
landlord after another made him move. He
never knew the joy of growing a tree or a rose
that was his own, he never knew what it was
to gather his children about his own fireSide.
This man lived here Just that way for more
than twenty years and when the summons came
to him, his friends bore his body from rented
cottage to the cemetery. He always lived in
doubt, he never made up his mind as to what
he wanted to do, he was unsettled, he never
did anything.
To obtain a proper view of yourself you
might conduct an investigation to determine
what kind of world this would be if every
man did just as much and no more for the
community than yourself.
This is the period of the year when flowers
are beginning to bloom, when plants make a
quick response to the warm sunshine and the
moisture; it's a time of the year when every
man wants home of his own, he wants to feel
the warmth of pride and love that comes of
home ownership.
Always remember that what other men have
done you can do. They have no more sense
than you, they deserve no more than you they
have built homes and so can you
If you see no way in sight to make start,
seek out some man who has succeeded and tell
him what you have; tell him of your prospects
and ask him if he can point out way by
which you can build home. Sometimes it
means the difference between success and fail
ure to have some one who is success interested
in you But i'm order to interest them you must
first become interested in yourself.
Remember this point, and take courage,
make up your mind to build, let no doubt creep
in and you will be in home of your own before
the summer months are here.

'sWOULD YOU GO TO

QUERY OF BURTON

Salina. Kan, March 26.-"Would
you go to hell to prosecute an imp,
with Satan presiding on the bench?"
Such was the interrogative reply
made in an address Thursday night
by former U. s. Senator Burton,
one of the victims of mob in Bar
ton county recently, to Richard J,
Hopkins, attorney general.
The former senator rented con.
vention halls and spoke on Mob
Law and Free Speech
He declared that the attorney gen.
eral and the government officials ot
Barton district and county attorney
there had all the evidence they need
ed and charged that they We're en-
deavoring to force him to go back to
Barton county into hostile territory.
For" he said. Governor Allen Is
mob governor; Richard Hopkins is
mob attorney general, and Judge d.
A. Banta, of Barton county, Is mob
judge" He charged that the cause
of the mob in Barton county week
ago was the failure of the authorities

June of last year.
Mr.. Burton reiterated his former
charge that the leader Of the Barton
county mob conferred with Judge
Banta and Sheriff Sam Hill that Sat

The Daily Ardmoreite is doing we'll The
paper is growing in circulation, it is growing
in the volume of business done in q manner
that is satisfactory.
But the Weekly Ardmoreite has been drag
ging too much to please fellow who likes to
see things move.
This paper is also going to grow.
We know it's going to grow.
After having spent the years we have in
the newspaper business if we have not gathered
enough ingenuity and skill to make this paper
serve its purpose then we had better retire
from the business.
When the present management took the
paper The Weekly Ardmoreite had run down
until it was small paper. We have quad
rupled the number Of readers in the last year.
This is at least making start. We are going
to quadruple the number OF readers again. That
is not an idle statement-we are going to do it..
The Weekly Ardmoreite is now serving a
useful purpose. Believing absolutely in that
wonderful sentence: 1T is more blessed to give
than to receive" The Weekly Ardmoreite has
started out by first giving. Out of its earnings
each month a sum is given to help the boys
and girls farm clubs of this county.
This paper wants to live by the truth Of
that sentence. 1t wants to give. 1t is not
seeking any one to give it anything. 1t wants
to breathe out an influence for good 1t wants
to help in the building up of the community
spirit in the rural districts and the rural dis
tricts will never build roads and homes and
schools and churches and will never cooperate
with the larger towns until first the community
spirit is established.
The readers of this paper would appreciate
having messages sent them by the banks and
the merchants Of this town. The advertiser
who uses the columns of this paper will soon
find that he has built up some of the most loyal
friends he ever had.
Rural people are loyal to the core. They
like to feel that they are appreciated.
The Weekly Ardmoreite is their paper. It
is published for them. They take pride in it.
And we are going to give them better
paper then they have ever had before and
every reader of its columns will be working in
the community to get more readers.
If you have message to send to the rural
people of Southern Oklahoma, The Weekly Ard
moreite offers you channel to convey that
message and the cost will be slight compared
with the number of people reached

YOUR OWN HOME

1t is one thing to feel that you are part
Of your town and quite another to have the
feeling that you are unsettled, that you possess
no more loyalty or love for one spot of earth
than another.
The one who feels that he is part of his
city or community is the man who owns his
home, who takes pride in beautifying that
home, who has trees and flowers growing about
him, who has membership in some fraternal
society, who carries bit of life insurance for
the protection of his family, who supports
some church organization of his community
and who gives some of his time each year to
some of the civic movements that are organ
lied for the welfare of his people.

Providence. R. l., Oct. 20.-Mary Szpila, years old, was found strangled to death on a grindstone in the yard opposite her home on Elm street, Valley Falls, yesterday after noon.
 Less than a half hour before she had been playing with John Bucko, who is four months older. Johnny, it is alleged, tied a cord around his Iplaymates neck and, after fastening it to the shaft of the grindstone, turned it's handle until Mary was dead.

DARTMOUTH LEADER OUT. Robertson Not to Play Against Co-
 hmbia Eleven Saturday:

Hanover, N. H., Oct. 2O.-Dart- mouth will enter the Columbia game Saturday minus the services of Cap tain Jim Robertson. This became known definitely yesterday when Trainer Jack Watson announced that the broken nose suffered by the Green leader in the Tenn essee game was such as to keep him on the side lines for another week or more. Whether he will be able to start against Cornell at Ithaca the week after is still prob1ematical.
 Tn view of the hard contests, in store against Pennsylvania, Syracuse and Georgia, Coach Cannel is not disposed to take any chance of per m-nently losing the big halfback.
 The general shake-up begun by As sistant Coach Louden after the dis appointing game with Tennessee was continued yesterday by Cannell, who has returned from a short scouting trip to Cambridge, where he watched Georgia in action against Harvard CanneN made it plain that no man could consider himself a regular or the Green eleven, not even the most prominent players.
