serve must come first. If you do not
make Him first you cannot get Him.

Don't you think you had better get
oil for your lamp before the sun goes
down and darkness wraps its sable

CARTER COUNTY FAIR

The suggestion made by Mrs. Minnie
B. Church, home demonstration agent,
that the Carter county free fair could
be made as great an institution for
Ardmore as the state fair now is for
Muskogee is one we'll worthy the
careful consideration of all who really
want to see this county develop and
this city pushed along until it become
that which it now claims to be-the
metropolis of ali southern and south
eastern Oklahoma.
A good fair, with a carefully ar
ranged program, with all details
worked out and with a livestock ex-
hibit in which real interest is mani
fest, is one OF the biggest advertise
ments that city, a county, section
Of a state, or an entire state may
have. In fact we might well say that
a bigger advertisement, one more pro-
ductive of desirable results, may not
be found.
The business men Of Ardmore in
getting behind the county fair and
putting their shoulders to the wheels
and pushing it out of the slough Of
despond and on to solid financial
grounds, should bear in mind that they
are not throwing their dollars away,
but that they are, on the other hand,
casting their bread upon the waters to
be returned to them, multiplied many
fold.
Every dollar put into beautifying
the grounds of the fair, every dollar
invested in buildings in which to house
the exhibits which come to the fair,
every dime spent in advertising, every
penny expended for awards, represents
that much money invested, money in
vested which will pay the biggest pos
sible interest.
Ardmore is the key city, now, to
the greatest oil production in this
state, an oil production which holds
up far better than any ever brought
in at any other point in the United
States. 1t is the key city TO one Of
the best and most extensive agricul-
tural sections in the state, all Of south
ern and southeastern Oklahoma COM
prising the territory which is tributary
10 this point.
And a very well.directed and sys-
tematic effort would make Ardmore
the key city, the trade center, the dis
tributing point Of one Of the greatest
livestock sections TO be found any

GREAT INTEREST
in THE REVIVAL
SERVICES BROADWAY
METHODIST CHURCH

The revival services at the Broad
way Methodist church conducted by
DR.. Ashley Chappell, are being we'll
attended and are creating much inter
est
DR.. Chappell spoke to an appreciative
audience last night on the parable Of
the ten virgins. He said in part:
The lesson Of the five wise and
five foolish virgins is a very simple
one but contains much philosophy. It
is a story Of light. | remember a lee.
ture on the subject Of light that l heard
several years ago in a large city. The
man giving the lecture spoke on the
different inventions and improvements
we have made in our lighting systems.
But light is not Of interest from that
standpoint alone, for We have become
so use TO 1t that it is 4 common thing
to US.
This is a story Of a wedding also,
and folks are always interested in we'd
dings. Many things happen or are
likely TO happen at a wedding Some
times the bride or bridegroom is late
or doesn't come at all This time it
was the bridegroom who did not ap.
pear, so they all went TO sleep. At
midnight there was a cry and behold.
the bridegroom came. Then the viz
gins arose and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise:
Give us OF your oil for our lamps
have gone out" The unexpected had
happened; their oil had given out. The
crisis OF life always come as swift as
the swoop Of a bird out of the blue
sky. II We knew when they were
coming We would know what TO do
and how 10 act.
The wise would not give the foolish
virgins OF their oil for fear they would
not have enough for themselves. We
cannot give you a Christian charac-
ter. You must get IL Tor yourself.
There are always plenty OF folks ready
TO quit. Thousands are always solving
their problems OF life by quitting. You
cannot lay up religious character.
In two hours and a half You must
get IL for yourself and IL Will take
some time 90 do H. Religion is TO the
human soul what oil is 10 the lamp. 1t

they are walking in the darkness and

THE STATE OF "NORMALCY"

With conditions still in a more or
less chaotic condition, that chaotic
condition which came as an immediate
aftermath OF the last national election,
it might be we'll FOR the people who
are interested in the upbuildng OF
the general community TO call upon
Mr.. Harding for a definition, as he un-
derstands II, Of the normally which
he talked of so much just before that
election.

people Of the United States, speaking
for and in behalf Of the Republican
party, more than he will be able 10

A SHAMEFUL RECORD.

Sixty-one cases of lynching last
year: siXty-one armed rebellions
against the law of the land; sixty-one
savage murders of persons entitled to
the protection of the law-entitled to
the presumption of innocence until,
by due process of law, proven guilty;
sixty-one separate and distinct dem
onstrations that our claims to civiliza-
ton and civilized administration of
justice are fraudulent claims.
How many persons were engaged in
these murderous, anarchistic out
breaks =? Their aggregate would doubt
less run well up into the thousands
thousands of Americans who either as
direct participants or aiders and abet-
tors, were traitors to that society I'M
der which they themselves were claim
ing protection from robbery and vio-
lence; thousands of them engaged in
bringing shame and disgrace upon
their country.
What signifies the guilt of the poor
wretches who were the victims of
these infamies as compared with the
guilt of the perpetrators thereof ?The
massed guilt of all the victims, how
ever atrocious in individual cases, is
small indeed in its undermining eff
feet on the foundations of social safe
ty, compared with that of the MUIR
derers who did those victims to death.
And how many victims were inno-
cent of any offence? That we shall
never know. Where such innocence is
afterwards incontrovertibly estab-
lished, communities are only too ready
to cover the shame of their mob-assas-
sinations by smothering the acquit-
ting facts. For all that the law knows,
every last one of the mob victims was
as innocent as babe unborn. The
law had no opportunity to know. The
victims had no legal hearing. Ru-
NOR flew here and there that they
were guilty; so the mob took them out
and murdered them, diversifying the
murder now and then with torture ac-
cessories.
Neither the race nor the color line
was drawn in these assassinations.
Eight white men were among the MUIR
dered. One of the victims was
woman. The accusations which moved
the mobs to action were varied. The
offense of one was that of being for
eigner. Of another, attempting to
vote Of another, knocking down
chain-gan guard Of another, max
ing threat to kill. Of another, as
sisting furgitives to escape. And so
on through all the gamut of crimes
and misdemeanors.
1t is black record. 1t is a dis
graceful record. 1t is record that no
true American should be able to face
without hanging his head for very
shame.
