STATE INSPECTOR
SAYS COUNTY FREE
GREEN BUG MENACE

Thomas Il. Gordon, state entomolo-
gist, with the department OF sgricul-
ture was in the city yesterday and
made an inspection of sweet potatoes
TO be used for seed that are now in
the hands OF local growers.
Mr.. Gordon stated that he found
local conditions excellent, that he
found the seed in fine condition and
free from all infectious diseases. He
stated however that all owners who
contemplated shipping seed must first
have them inspected In order TO pre-
vent any complications. This rule
does not apply to seed to be used in
this section. but before loading into
cars for shipment they must be pass
ed upon by the state department.
Mr.. Gordon left last night for Love
county to investigate the green bug
menace that is threatening there. he
stated that from what he was able
to learn that the bug was not threat
ening this county.

SOME UNMISTAKABLE SIGNS

There are certain unmistakable signs
of the resumption of business in the
east. When the financial depression
first became evident New York was
first to shiver from the shock and
the fear that seized those people
caused the bank clearings TO fall off
about 80 per cent. The most recent
statement shows that the clearings
are now within 30 per cent of what
they We're last year. This has been
a remarkable gain and when two
facts are considered it will be seen
that the volume of business done is
just as great as it was year ago.
Commodities are cheaper now and
less money is required now to trans
act n given volume of business. The
there is no speculation now while
year ago speculation was rife. His
tory that is being made in the banks.
history that is being made by actual
figures show that the city of New
York has returned to normal condi-
tions as far as actual legitimate busi-
ness is concerned.
Local business conditions are very
satisfactory. A grocer with whom
this paper comes in contact on account
OF his using our space says that his
January and February business has
surpassed his sales in December
which included the holidays and is
supposed to be the heaviest buying
month of the year Dry goods and
clothing merchants are selling for
much less now but those who are
using space in the papers and who
maintain a friendly touch with tl-,
people by daily chats in their home
paper are doing a satisfactory volume
of business.
It may require more energy and
skill now to succeed but business
success lies before every man. And
after all the success that is won is
the only kind worth having.

was inspiring at one of the recent
meetings of the clut to see almost
a score of young business men vol
unteer TO help Scout Executive Reid
in looking after the boys Of the city
and as u result of the organization
of these new troops the boys of the
city have been given other employ
ment and kept interested to de-
gree that they have not been in
clined to do so much mischief.
The boy who goes wrong will not
necessarily make bad man but the
influence of being dragged into the
courts or sent to the state training
school is not very good start for
youth and that experience might lead
him to life of usefulness and shame.

ing proud of his organization and
of its achievements in the commu-

BUILDING COSTS AT Low EBB

T. e. Snelson, a building contractor
Of this city states that the price OF
common building brick has been re-
dnced from SIS to SIS and sls a
thousand and that II the freight rate
was normal that brick could be pur-
chased now at SIS. The same con-
tractor states that there has also
been q marked reduction In lumber
prices and 1t Is his opinion that lum-
ber has now touched the bottom, that
Il is nj low ebb and that within from
60 to 80 days it Is his opinion that
lumber will sell higher than at pres
ent-
Two other commodities that enter
into construction work are hardware
and labor. Hardware has been re-
duced considerably from peak price
and there has been reduction Of
approximately 20 per cent in the cost
0f labor.
in view of this condition OF affairs
thts city IS certainly due for a build
ing boom Houses will bring rental
that will pay for the construction
work within few years and any
man can build nice estate here
that will sustain him In old age by
building q few houses Those who
have planned to build this spring
may well afford to let their contracts
now. All material that enter into u
house have reached u price that Is
reasonable and there is a demand
here for more buildings. Men are
offering rewards 10 persons who will
find home for them and as long as
that condition prevails there cannot
be any hope of rental reductions.
Oil men who now live in other cit
1es are waiting for an opportunity to
move here. Travelling men who desire
70 make Ardmore their headquarters
cannot do so until homes have been
provided for them. There Is not only
4 demand for homes but there is
also a demand for more offices. This

WHISPER OF THE PAST

There was a time when man was
so bent upon wreaking vengeance
upon their fellow man that violators
OF the law We're sewed up in leather
bags with poisonous vipers and put
out afloat upon the ocean to die. The
prisoner first suffered a fright that
would atone for any crime but upon
top of that he must die of poisonous
bites in the most awful agony imag-
Unable.
Man has progressed somewhat from
that mode of punishment and now we
have the polite and easy manner Of
touching electricity TO man to take
away his life. Whether electricity Is
easier. whether It carries with 1t less
of fright, whether it is more modern
in It's significance 1t is but a counter
part Of the old way of robbing man
of that which God has given him
and God alone can give him.
In the state penitentiary next Fri
day two men are to be electrocuted.
They are John c. Ledbetter and Rob-
ert w. Blakely.

"SAILOR JACK Is BEST MAN | HAVE EVER
Met" STATES BILLY EDWARDS, CHAMPION,
AFTER BOUT RESULTS IN DRAW DECISION

De suggests. 1t was not my plan that
caused the Police Gazette rules to be
followed tonight"
Last nights bout had been arranged
while Wood was in Texas, where he
had been on wrestling tour.
There is no doubt but that if the
rules proposed by Edwards. namely
best two falls out 0f ulree. no time.
limit, are followed, it will be to Woods S
advantage. For Wood appeared TO
have greater endurance than Ed
wards last night and was able TO break
away from all holds with which Ed
wards attempted to pin him.
Local enthusiasts are most anxious
10 witness another bout again between
Wood and Edwards. and all feel con-
fident that Wood will come out the
victor lien they meet again.
sConvention Hall was filled to ca
pacity last night with a most enthus-
sticHAYsemblage. There were many
women among ihe spectators. Through
out the wrestling match the fans We're
ON their toes.
Fred Gilmore, former welterweight
champion boxer of the world, ref
creed the bout.
Preliminary Bouts
Preceding the main event, there were
three preliminary boxing contests The
first was between two blindfolded
darkies, each eqGipped with one box
ing glove and a tin cup TO aid in
locating each other. They furnished
great amusement during their ma
neuvers. The bout was scheduled for
four rou.ds, but one of the contest
ants quit at the end Of the second
round
Roy Simpson, a protege OF Togo,
The local athletic instructor, was awar-
ded decision over Nelson Smith, at
tae beginning o. the third round of q
scheduled four round bout. Simpson
is a coming star in fistic circles, He
shows fine form while in the ring. and
can take punishment without flinching.
He is very agile and can land some
very effective haymakers. The bout
was stopped by referee Milo Gibbs,
after Simpson had landed several
swings to the jaw followed by half
dozen TO Smiths stomach
The most exciting boxing contest of
the evening was four round match
between Rusty" and Joe Rivers. Riv-
ers outweighed Rusty considerably
and was larger, but nevertheless Rusty
succeeded in winning decisively three
rounds out Of the four for decision
Looks are sure deceving when one
tries to size up Rusty. He appears 10
be a fyweight. and unless one saw
him in action .he would be led to be-
lieve that he has no force whatever.
But spectators. who watched Rusty
last night are all unanimous in their
opinions. that when II comes to light

weig'aty blows. Rusty Is there. that's S
all. He hal Rivers dazzled throughout
the entire grind. and the gong at
the end of the fourth round saved the
