5 DIFFERENT HURTS

NEW YORK, oct. 12.--Babe Ruth,
out of the worlds series because of
injuries is suffering from five diff
ferent hurts. any one Of which prob
ably would be sufficient to keep many
players from the game.
Here are Ruth's injuries:
lnfec' upper left arm, in which
surgeons have made n three inch in.
cision. The original injury was suf-
fered in the Cleveland.New York
series. The wound was torn open twice
in the games of Sunday and Mon

to regain strength.

Sprained wrist, caused by falling
on his arm while sliding to bases.
Strawberry" or open sore on his
hip, caused by sliding bases and con
stantly re-opened.
Ruth says he could stand the pain
and would play, but because of the
warning of physicians that constant
aggravation would spread the infec.
tion in his arm and make another and
more serious operation necessary.

BUILD NEW HOMES
NEWCOMERS URGE

II am glad to see renewal of
the campaign to build more homes
in Ardmore," said Walter Archer this
morning. II have been searching for
a house, am willing to pay fair
rental for "A home but there seems to
be none for me. There are some va
cant homes in the city but they are
located a good ways out and they are
being held for purchasers and the
owners will not rent them"
What Mr.. Archer finds is observ.
ed by many others. There Is demand
for more homes in Ardmore. The man
who builds them will make profit
on his investment. No man can afford
TO own unimprovcd property. Sell va
cant property to people on long time
payments who want to occupy them
as sites for homes or build a home
and sell it or rent it to Ardmorc peo-
pie who are scramblng for home.
Turn Ardmore loose and let ii grow.
Expand by building new homes.

will do so.

Mr.. Cruce. I'm no place have | been
are the people so hopeful and so
cheerful. The oil advance has helped
your section of the country and the
oil men are looking for greater adj
vances and there is no reason why
you people should not have at least
some degree of real prosperity.
Congress Must DO Better
THE biggest thing to retard pro.
gress at this time" said Mr.. Cruce,
"is taxation. Four and half billion
dollars cannot be collected from the
people each year and leave prosperity
In the country Congress must do bet

country should be operated on tNo

in this state has materially hurt the
party and l for one shall not be one

Business in Arizona said Mr..
Cruce. rs somewhat slow as II is

Is on cattle and mining both of which
have been hard hit. Cattle are coming

Further Obstacles 10 Overcome
1T Is my opinion that all farm pro.
ducts have touched bottom and farm
products will be first TO come back
and that means that prosperity will
first reach the farm and from the
farm It will reach the towns. II is also
