DarWinian Theory Advanced. on
Celebrated HuntinQ-H0g

Tucker Gibson returned yesterday
from the oil fields near Eldorado;
Arkansas, where he had been to look
over the situation. Mr.. Gibson said
that in conversation with men from
all over the country he had found the
fame Of his famous hunting hog had
preceded him. Mr.. Gibson indicated
that while in Eldorado be started ne
gotiations with a well known oil ep-
orator, who he stated was anxioul
to exchange an oil lease on consid-
erable acreage for the hog. It is un-
derstood that this deal is still pending
on account Of the reluctance Of Mr..
Gibson to part with the unique and
valuable animal.
Mr.. Gibson has been flooded with
inquiries from all over the country re-
garding the hog by naturalists and
scientists who are interested in the
effects Of hereditary traits and the
influence Of environment.
In q recent issue the New Orleans
Times Picayune editorially advances
the Darwinian theory on the evolu-
ton Of the hog. Mr.. Gibson statea
that he cannot wholly subscribe to the
deductions and logical conclusion
drawn, but believes that in q large
measure it affords ground for inter
esting speculation.
The editorial in question follows:
Tucker Cibson's Hog.
Mississippi is getting away with
lot Of valuable publicity that should
be Louisiana's. To be sure, Mr.. Tuck.
er Gibson owns the hog, and we would
not for q moment doubt his right 70 il
or to the game shot over the aforesaid
porker. But Mr.. Gibson himself nd
mits that this hunting hog is a pro
duct Of the Tensas swamps, on -ths
Louisiana side Of the Mississippi, ani
we cannot accept the owners theory
that it was from ASSOCIATION with {
Mississippi hound family that th'
raozr-back developed hunting in
stinct.

While there is 80 much criticism
Of the Government going on, and now
that the war is over nobody seems
to have a kind word for Uncle Sam,
I would like to call attention to one
really good and first cass thing he
is doing.
The Government has appropriated
500, 900, 900 to help all those who
have been incapacitated by the war
to fit themselves for jobs.
That is quite a tidy sum. Do you
know about it? Are you disabled
soldier, or do you know of one? II
so, here is the chance to find out that
the Country that asked men to fight
for it is not altogether ungrateful.
Every week hundreds Of service
men are discharged as cured from the
Government hospitals, and at the
same time returned to civilian status.
but these young men m many cases
are not physically and mentally able
to take up their former vocation. The
Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation has 500, 100000 at its disposal
and is prepared to give training to
any disabled ex-service man honorably
discharged since April z, 1917, who
| is unable to carry on at his former
work without real handicap and
whose condition makes such training
feasible. In this way the Government
has provided comparatively happy
and independent future for such men
The Government now pays mer
from $50 to $170 per month, accord
ing to a mans dependents and thu
cost of living in the locality in which
he is trained. These men are trained
at many Of the best professional ant
trade schools in the country; Others
are trained on the job with somS
practical firm; still others prefer Il
keep their present positions and
study in night courses without train
ing pay in order to advance them
selves. :.

CLEAN SPEECH WEEK.

From the abundance Of the heart
the mouth speaketh." Your speech con-
veys your thought, your thought makes
you what you are.
This is clean speech week in the
Ardmore High School. Clean speech
may be viewed as a misnomer for from
the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh. Would it not be well to
consider it a clean thought week. Every
boy every day tells on himself because
he is judged by what he says and how
he says it. Clear thinking makes
clear talking and from clean heart
only clean words can come.
Profanity is disgraceful but profan-
ity is sky high when compared to the
low thinking that is breathed out in
loathesome smutty stories.
We are largely creatures of habit
If we choose our words carelessly in
conversation, if we break up our sen
tences in ordinary conversation we
are uniting ourselves for polite so
ciety, we are paving the way for EN-
barrassments without number and We
can never make good appearance be-
fore any public meeting.
Boys who are planning to become
useful, influential men should make
every week clean speech week"

A PRINCESS FOR AMERICA.

Since the revolution in Russia sew
eral Of our fiction writers have mar
ried the daughter of dispossessed
Grand Duke to a young American, but
il was left for 19-year-old William B.
Leeds to make an actual fact of such
fiction. The story goes that this young
American arrived in Athens by air
plane one day and the next day was
betrothed to the Princess Zenia, niece
of King Constantine Of Greece and a
member of the imperial Romanoff fam
lily of Russia. This was quicker work
than even the most daring of fiction
writer's would have been guilty Of, even
audacity coupled with Incompatible
good looks and winning ways. The ac-
count Is silent as to young Leeds per-
sonal qualities and physical attractions,
but even if less lavishly endowed in
these particulars he had two advan-
tages not possessed by the usual hero
OF fiction. He has mi)'ions and on ac-
count Of his mothers position he did
not need to break into royal society
within twenty-four hours.
Perhaps he met the Princess Zenia
on a previous visit, for his mother, rich
widow Of an American "tin plate king, "
married into the Greek royal family
some time since qnd is known as the
Princess Anastasia. Her capacious
money bags made her welcome in the
royal circle OF Athens and doubtless
her son is a prized acquisition for the
same reason. But every lover Of ro'
nance will hope that he is priced by
his princess for his own sake, and that
II will be love match. Anything short
OF that is as unpleasant to think OF as
the most sordid Of bargain and sale
transactions. In any case young Leeds
IS, we believe, the first American ciu-
zen TO capture a royal princess.

They have inspired love of home and
love of the beautiful surrounding the

the reason that when Ardmore starts
TO do something every individual in
the city begins to help in the work.
The Military Carnival, Rose Festival

being held by friends of the legionnaires
for the purpose Of raising funds for
the unfortunate former service men

Rose Festival and Fashion Parade TO

work. They are entitled TO the hearty
cooperation OF every citizen. when
the boys were leaving for France we
thought then that they could ask us FOR
nothing that we would not gladly do for
them, but since they have returned we
have grown more or less careless and
we are sitting and waiting for congress

should take hold and do for them

A DRY" TURKEY.

As Mohammed outlawed alcohol
nearly thirteen centuries ago and the
Koran still forbids strong drink, the
outside world would have supposed that
a prohibition law would be superflu-
Gus in Turkey. But it seems that the
national assembly at Angora not long
ago passed law prohibiting the con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages in
Turkish territory. Concerning this
law a magazine published in Switzer-
land by and for the Turkish Nationa-
lists is thus quoted: Naturally, all
is not finished by voting a prohibitive
bill. The contraband is still carried on
and the rich classes can in this way
still procure drink. But it is, on the
other hand, beyond doubt that the peo-
pie in general do not poison themselves
as before, because Of the very great
difficulty in finding spirituous liquors
and the high price of this kind OF
drink. The number of the alcohol con-
III bAiS ia Wv
ton Of more than so per cent"
Notwithstanding the fact that its
prohibition law is supported by time
honored religious precept, it would ap-
pear that Turkey has an enforcement
problem on its hands very similar TO
that Of the United States Apparently
the Turks have been encouraged by
prohibition in America to attempt to
force their religion into practice
through legal enactment for the maga-
zine quoted above says further that
tendencies for prohibition are show
Ing themselves in Europe following the
example OF the dry United States" II
looks as if dry" America-though not
as dry" as it might be within its own
borders-is exerting a certain amount
of influence in far lands.

THE ROAD THROUGH
THE ARBUCkLES.

No city can make progress without
wealth. The men who have grown rich
in the oil fields of this country are very
loyal to this city and they have done
much to promote enterprises here, They
have built handsome homes and office
buildings and have established many
enterprises for the city.
1t has become proverbial that it is
easy to make money in Ardmore and
this city has a need of attracting more
men of means. In order to do this we
must manifest much enterprise. There
is nothing else that attracts quite so
much as good streets and good country
roads People like to live where they
can enjoy motoring.
One of the roads that needs to be
looked after first is the one that leads
from here by way Of Springer and
Turner Falls to Davis which is being
inspected this afternoon by a number
of business men. This road is the
finest scenic highway in the state
People who have passed over this high
way through the Arbuckles say that
there is not, in the mountain states,
scenery that is more inspiring. There
are running streams, water falls, rug
ged scenery Of the mountains fringed
by fertile valleys green with wheat
and dotted with herds of cattle, pretty
homes, all, everything that goes to
make up a beautiful country place.
/. is necdful that Ardmore and Davis
Join hands in the construction of this
road. If funds are not available the
work can be done by volunteer labor as
much as of it has already been done
There is always a way to accomplish
these things and Ardmore is waiting
for advice from the good roads COM
mittee Of the Chamber of Commerce.
When those men have mapped out
plan of action Ardmore stands ready
to carry it out. BY all means we must
have a good highway through the
mountains and to the finest camping
place in the state where thousands of
visitors will spend a portion of the
summer months.
