KIRK DYER CITY MANAGER.

The people of Ardmore are to be
congratulated that they have an op-
portunity to secure a man like Kirk
Dyer for city manager Mr.. Dyer has
vast fund of experience that he will
bring to this city. He has for many
years been a business man, he has al
ways stood at the top of the business
in which he was engaged, he is not ac-
customed to doing small things in
small way, his mind is trained to grasp
big things and to execute them. We re-
peat that the people are to be congra-
tulated that man of such ability is
available, it is very pretty thing for
Ardmore to have home man who can
leave his own business and devote his
time to this city.
Mr.. Dyer has served the public in

quenly expressed at this meeting that
newspaper properties should pay diyi-
dends just as banks and other lines of
business pay. The day of the pro-
verbal poor editor has passed.
A lady named Thomas who for is
years mas published paper at Beaver
in this state was in attendance at the
meeting. Miss Thomas attended the
National Editorial Association held in
Florida with side trip to Cuba and
she was made chairman of the delega-
ton from Oklahoma TO Honolulu to the
World Press Association this summer
Miss Thomas has paper in a small
town but she has made money and
owns other properties besides her news
paper.
was the presence of many women who
are engaged in the business. Some OF
them work with husband and others
own and manage their papers.
Ardmore was honored in the cleo
ton of Mrs. Katherine Reid as one of
the vice presidents Of the association.
She served last year as a member OF
the board Of directors and was promot-
ed and put in line for the presidency.
So far no woman has ever been placed
at the head of the organization but
there is to be an exception made in
this case and Mrs. Reid will have the
honor of being the first presiding Off
Ger of the association.
The El Reno people were very gen.
erous with the editors. Everything
possible for their entertainment and
for their comfort was provided. The
| presenc. of the rain caused the abandon
ment of side trips that had been plan
ned but the result was better for the
men of the press for the reason that
they had more time for transaction OF
| business.
Editor Newlands of Frederick was
elected president for the ensuing yeai
and Ponca City was selected as the
next place of meeting.

service of the city another unusually
good man. He is Bob Hefner. Mr..
Hefner is a man who takes great pride
in his work. He has served this city as
attorney and he has served the school
district on the board Of education. He
has been generous with his time and
with his talent and better cleaner

city family and give this city the ad-

The new administration will begin
early in June and if these men are
given the proper encouragement and
cooperation they will take a great

HELP OF SMALL COURTESIES.

1t is the rule for a business office
to write letters all during the day, al
low them to accumulate and post them
when the days work is done This
custom places a vast amount Of mail
in the post office at one time. 1t would
be. thoughtful thing to do for each
business man to mail his letters as he
writes them. There are many things
that can be done to help others in
their work and this is one of the small
courtesies that can be given without
cost to the people who work in the
post office.

BLACK BILLY TALKS TONIGHT
ON THE LIVING TOUCH
(By Gordon James,

A large crowd of both white and ne
gro people packed the Warren chapel
Methodist church last evening to hear
the "Black Billy" preach on the "Abun-
dant Life" He used as a text the words
of Jesus, 81 am come that they may
have life, and have it more abundantly," y"
Billy said that to some extent every
body can make a makeshift of getting
along through life. The fool, the beggar
and even the tramp, may do it quite eff
fectively with the prod of hunger. A
man may get up in the morning, dress,
eat put on his hat and go forth to his
business, just as millions have done be-
fore him. but that is not the Abundant
Life, that is simply living at poor
dying rate. Jesus came to bring to sin
afflicted humanity the real life.
'In all the catalog of life's purposes
there is nothing more urgent than this
program of getting men and women to
forsake their sinful lives. and to get
more out of their three score Of years
and ten by the abundant life. To real
ize this higher life it is the same in all
cases, it is salvation through faith in
Jesus Christ, our Lord. He says with
a blessed assurance, l am come thar
they may have life and have it more
abundantly.' l care not who it may
be, you may be wreckage Of your
former self, and may have only one leg,
one lung and but one old snag tooth
left, but if your soul is anchored It
the Rock of Ages, you can rejoice in a
life that knows no physical bounds.
This evening Billy will speak at the
Metropolitan A. NJ. Z. church, f street
southeast near First avenue, the subject
Of the sermon will be the Living
Touch"

THE AMERICAN CREED

| believe in the United States of
America as a government of the

not many years ago we always bought

Now, we expect all such material To be-
done up in paste board packages or ia
containers, resulting, of course, in our
paying extra for this. Furthermore.
we went to the stores and looked over
the stocks and "bargained'' for what
we wanted. Now, we consider ii poor
