BIG RESULTS
IN one YEAR
Review Of PaIO DurO Park Work
Shows Widespread Support
for Movement
4. (From Fridays Daily.)

How wide the publicity and how
substantial the support which the
Palo Duro park proposition has ac-

it has been definitely before the peo-
pie is nothing short Of remarkable.
Through the forces set in motion by
the Palo Duro Park Commission the
movement has become national In

Advertised the Whole Country.
To surprising extent the move
ment has succeeded in, directing at
tention to the Panhandle and to Pan
handle towns through the means OF
publicity given by the press OF the
country. Not only has the daily and
weekly press of Texas given columns
OF space in description, announce
ment and editorial comment TO the
plan, but the press Of the Southwest
generally has widely advertised the
measure. Daily papers all over the
country have used feature articles
about the canyon and the proposed
national park. In addition to these
the more conservative weeklies and
monthlies OF the countries have given
space both to the bill which was in.
troduced in both houses OF congress
and to the canyon itself. Thousands
and hundreds of thousands of people
who had never before heard of the
palo Duro canyon have had their
attention called to 1t by these articles
and comments. and when the billI
for the park are brought before con,
gress, the information conveyed in
these press notices will again occur
to them and as a result the measure
will find a public ready 20 receive 1t

Park Endorsement Widely Published
A recent gathering which has TO-
cussed on the park the most substan-
tial support. perhaps tnat 1t has yet
received, was the congress OF the Red
River Improvement Association at
Shreveport, which j, W. Crudging'
ton and NJ. w. Cunningham, OF ANA
rillo, Mayor Haney OF Canyon, at
tended as representatives OF the Pam
handle. This organization was form
ed last winter by the congressman
and senator's Of Arkansas, Louisiana,
Oklahoma and Texas, the four states
which are directly Interested In the
improvement OF Red river and lis
tributaries. Through the letter writ
ing mentioned above and through the
efforts OF Congressman John II,
stephens from this district all the
congressman and senators were well
acquainted with the park PROPOSE
ton and Congressman Randell OF
Sherman, made one of the strongest
speeches Of the meeting in the in.
terests of the park. But many OF the
other delegates representing munici.
pal and commercial organizations OF
the various states knew only in a
general way OF the proposition. Their
later approval Of the measure was
expressed in the strong resolutions
published in the Daily Panhandle
last week, which the congress adopt
ed In favor OF the park, This en-,
dorsement given the park measure
was made a part OF the news report
OF the meeting and went to all parts
OF the country. Col. II, T, Groom
who was In the East at the time, tells
of seeing the park endorsement fea'
tured in the news report, given in a
Cleveland, Ohio, paper.
Reviewing all that has been done
and considering these indications Of
public sentiment, Mayor Haney, pres
ioent OF the park commission, DR.
]. 4. Num-, secretary, and Others
who have helped the work along
have abundant reason for gratiiica
Ition at the results OF their work anC
for being encouraged to proceed
with the campaign for the next con
gress.

THE NAN AND HIS JOB.

Executive ability fetches the high
est remuneration in all employments,
and amounts to a talent for which
employers are glad to pay prlncely
premiums. Less than three years
lgo o certain young man was keep
ing books for small country bank
in Indiana at the modest wage Of $50
a month.
Instead Of wearing a green lamp
shade and "mindlng his own bust
ness" and doing just what he was
expected to do" as most good, hon
ast bookkeepers are wont, he went
beyond himself, he exceeded his place
and position, by grinding out brand
new working policy for the bank.
When exhibited at directors meet
ing the new system caused sour faces
and grumbllng objections. II might
be good idea for big bank In a
big city--such was the attitude
but here we we're in rural COM
munity, and farmers weren't famous
Tor quickness and progress.
The bookkeeper happened to haYe
a relative among the heaviest stock
holders. who offered 10 stand the ex-
penso OF instituting the new system
and thus II went through experi-
mentally, An entire change OF meth
cd was decided upon, savings de-
partment was started on per cent
basis which proved instantly popular.
A check account department, for both
male and female deposltors, was
quickly appreciated by the moneyed
taxpayers Of the community. A home
savings bank division drained the
outlying districts and settlements OF
the state. A large amount OF capital,
which was standing still In mercan-
tile and banking lines, was put under
marching orders by these various
moves, and the business OF the bank
quadrupled during the first year.
When the national bank examiner
came around he found the bookkeep-
err the active head OF one OF the best
systematized institutions in tbs
country, and recommended him To
handle some special work in conneo-
ton with defunct eastern bank,
He exhibited unusual energy, insight
and executive ability In this difficult
work, and the national bank author
tiles we're quick to give him a post
as special examiner at $4,000 year,
His new position required him to ex-
anime some OF the large banks In the
East, where his suggestions and i'm.
proved methods were found to be SC
practical and valuable, that he was
offered a post as treasurer for one OF
the large trust companies at sS,v
which has since been increased con.
siderably.
This mans rise from a $500 to a
$4,000 level within three years was
due TO his talent for originating and
executing practical plans for better
ment that fit into urgent require
ments and problems as a patent key
fits a combination lock.
