PAGE FIVE DAILY ARDMOREITE FULL GARDENS ARE NOW MR (IF MY 1 WITH ARDMORE FOLK Twos Mark Twuin who aung, In tuneful lay of summer's gardena paxa d away, and of the following trooping tlla which marched along In grocers' bills. And warbling of the sinful -l-e Of canned goods uweKonit', fruraonie Ise, he mourned for oiiIjiim, punned way. for "beans sublime, oh, where ro they?" But then Mark never know this Clime, this land of hope and bright hum thine, thin land where gardens in the tell cun knock the growers' prices, tell: else he'd have grubbed u hoe and : apade and crawled from out the gal lery's shade and planted, 'gainst these high-price dubs full lettuce, onions, beans and spuds. The full Burden will go a long way toward solving the high-cost oMIving Jxroblem, according to a statement made by Eugene Woers, a representa tive business man of Ardmore. Mr. Woerti says thut the seasonable rains of the past few duys, has put the soil In excellent condition for sued ' lug and that the season here is amply long for lute, or fall gardens to ma ture and add to the fumlly bill of fare before the coming of killing frosts, The soil in this section of Carter county Is, the gentleman says, pecu liarly adapted to the successful cultlva tlon of all kinds of Burden plunts and vegetables, while the seasons are such that, with Intensive cultivation, as above stuted, all will mature within a reasonably short time. He suggested that lettuce, onions radishes and bunch beans might re ceive particular attention, pointing out that these vegetables mature very Boon after their first germination, and that they are particularly appetizing and make excellent dishes for both tne home and the restaurant tables. In addition to this everyone knows that home-grown, or fresh vegetbles are far better than the very best in the canned line can be. It is said that many of the real old timers in this city, as well as in the surrounding country, have already Dluutud good fall gardens from which within a few weeks, the family tables will be supplied. ATLANTA IS EXPECTING PEOPLE AT THE CONFEDERATE REUNION Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27. More than 100,000 people from every purt of the nation are expected to attend the 24th annual reunion of United Confederate Veterans in Atluntu, October 7, 8, 9 and 10. For several reasons, the reunion will be the most significant these grand old men of the South have known since they furled their tattered banners more than half a century ago. 1-or one inmg It is the first reunion since the world war and It will be In the nature of a big peace jubilee. For another, it may be the lust time the soldiers who fol lowed Lee and Jackson raise their vnir.es o-ether in the "rebel yell," for the number is growing smaller every year, the veterans are getting less and less able to travel, ana ano.ner iweive tnontli may see the reunion custom ended. For still a third reason, the reunion will be unwontedly big because the United States government is granting u cheap rate on the railroads of 1 cent a mile. This rate may be secured both toine and coming by anyone who pre eents a certificate showing his official connection with the reunion, whether he be a veteran, a relative of a veteran a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans or other organization associat ed with the reunion. The Sons of Veterans and the Con federate Memorial Association, founded by the women of the south in 1865, will hold their conventions jointly 'with the reunion, thus adding to tfie size of the crowd and the brilliance of the occa sion. All visitors to Atlanta will be enter tained royally. The people of the Geor gia capital have subscribed a fund of JliO.OOO to finance the balls, the pa rade, and other functions of the re union. The veterans themselves will be cared for In the homes of the peo ple. At some reunions they huve had to sleep in tents und many of them suf fered from cold and wet. Nothing of the kind will happen In Atlanta- Al ready hundreds of Atlantians have vol unteered to take one or more veterans a- their guests during the reunion, and a campaign will be launched next week to secure homes for 10,000 or more vet erans. At the same time, a canvass of the city will be made to secure accom modations for other visitors. The hotels will lncerase their accommoda tions and have pledged themselves not to raise their rates. Boarding houses and private homes where guests will be accommodated will be tabulated, so that the minute a visitor arrives he will be Informed by the reception committee exactly where he will find "home awaiting him. While the veterans will be entertain ed in the homes of the people, at the same time they will have a camp of their own where they can assemble for lunch and supper and talk over the Old days of 01-65. The business sessions of the reunion Will be held at Atlanta's auditorium armory, which has a seating capacity of more than 8,000. Two blocks from the auditorium Is the stute capital, and Its spacious grounds, by agreement of Governor Dorsey, will be mude Into kn encampment for the veterans. A Street on one side will be roped off and turned Into a commissary, where tunch and supper will be served the Veterans free. Atlanta is looking forward to the vet erans' reunion as she has to no occa sion in the past 40 years. She has not forgotten that in 1864 it was these same men who gallantly defended her against Sherman's hosts. Only once before in ber history did the veterans hold their reunion here, and that was 21 years go. Her people feel that they owe a debt of gratitude to the veterans which they can never repay, but what it takes to show their appreciation they will have ready when the first old hero steps off the train on October 7.

I POLICE CHIEF SAYS LOAFERS MUST WORK OR JOIN STREET GANG Officer Jake Williams, who was shot and wounded Tuesday morning by an unknown negro, Is resting easy ut the Hardy Sunitarlum, where It Is reported that he will be uble to be out within a few duys, If no serious complications arise.

At the conclusion of the meeting of the stute board of ei ualizution yesterday after noon It was estimated thut. after a hearing was granted to each county, nearly half a billion dollars hud been added to the assessed valuation of the stute. Lust year the total assessed valuation was. In round numbers, one and one half billions. Whut the levy will be is the next question that is of prime interest to the taxpayers. State Auditor Carter Is of the opinion that it will be neces sary to advance the levy to the statu tory limit, three and one-hulf mills, to raise a sufficient amount to meet the state's expense. Other members do not agree with Auditor Carter. Sev eral hold thut with the increase In the assessed valuation the levy can remain ns it was last year, two and one-hulf mills. Through yesterday, as on tho pre vious day, there was an element of "give and take" in the action of tho board. In almost every Instance the county commissioners and assessors present to offer protest to the various increases asked by the state board, recognized that the assessment in cer tain classifications was too low, but rigidly objected to increases on other classifications. In this the state board exercised its prerogative and equalized und as a result the assessed valuutlon over the state has been increased about thirty-three and one-third per cent but still the claims of those counties which had specific classifications of properties in at what was believed to be a reasonable figure were recognized. At the two-day session of the state board there were, from time to time, from 100 to 150 men present to repre sent their respective counties. The ses sions were held In the hall of the house of representatives and as the roll of counties wus called Its representations were presented by a member of the board of county commissioners or the county assessor and immediate action was taken upon each county in tne ro tation In which the names of the coun ties were given. In the absence of Governor Kobertson Acting Governor Trapp presided at the deliberations of the board.

Tho Chamber of Commerce has draft ed men to act as collectors of this fund, und while nono of them huve been notified that they huve been im pressed Into service It Is expected of them to serve.

The city hus been divided Into dis tricts, with two men appointed to each district, who ure expected to get the money and not excuses. The collectors will not accept less than one dollur do nations, nor will they take one for over five, but they do expect to get enough to make up the required amount which Is suld to bo about $.100.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 27. Dozens of letters uro being received at the of fice of the state corporation commis sion commending the action taken In the filing of a blanket complaint against the Southwestern Bell Tele phone Company alleging inadequate and inefficient service. Some of the language written is more thun expres sive. One man, a resident of Norman, after setting fut many complaints against the service said, in substance "They used to ask me how I would punish the kaiser. I have made up my mind that none of us had the right conception of real punishment. If it were up to me, I would put him down at a desk in Oklahoma and tell him to put in about 12 culls a day over theso lines. If he still retained his reason at the end of 30 days I think it would be well to lot him go without further penalty." Complaints continue to pile up. Many of these are specific and may be used at the Keneral hearing contemplul ed for early In September. Others of th-se are of a less specific nature but are calculated to indicate the pub lic's Impression of its lack of service.

The mayor Is getting hard-boiled, and says he is going to remain that way toward the parties who are repeatedly before him for violation of the city ordinances. A neat little package of $19-00 and cost is the smallest unit the muyjr reckons with during warm weather. PACKERS' AGENT DUBS TRADE COMMISSION THE "TIRADE" COMMISSION Washington, Aug. 20. "Unless we ran be usxured of more efficient and economleul government control thun wus the case with the rallrouds, tele graph, und telephone compunles, neith er the producer nor consumer can lio to benefit from such legislation," F.v erett C. Brown, president of the Na tlonul Livestock Kxchunge, which Is composed of stockyurd- brokers, told the senate agricultural committee to day. Tho witness appeared in opposi tion to the Kenyou und Kenrick bills, proposing license regulation of the packing industry, and transfer of re frigerator cars and stockyards. Mr. Blown took exception to testi mony given before the committee by Federal Trade Commissioner Clover und remurked thut "In our great In dustry, It has seemed more proper to speak of the 'tirade' commission thun the trade commission." "The witness," he suid, in referring to Mr. Clover, stuted tho soculled in dependent puckers existed merely at the sufferance of the lurge packers. If tills be true, how does he account for the fact that ut many of our great murkets the Independents repeatedly and uggresslvely set the pace In buy ing livestock. Would the so-called 'trust' volunturlly permit the contln uutlon of such expensive 'sufferance?' "Livestock Is today the one farm product assured of a dally cash market. Anything which would disturb this con dition would be ruinous to tho produc ers." Refrigerator cur development Mr. Brown classed us "a bright spot in the history of tho packing Industry, and urged caution In legislating upon their use. "The federal control act gave tho railroad adinlnlstrution the right to take over these curs, but they cure fully refrained from doing so," he said. "The Interstate commerce commission after careful study confessed thut only inefficiency could result from turning the cars over to tho railrouds." Ownership of the stockyards by the packers, Mr. Brown suld, was not a cause for objection by shippers so long as competition w-as maintained and yard charges were reusonublo. have voi; or;iiT voi r lot in TIIK NKW ;lknwood addition YET?
