A Home institution For Home Men.

It has been said that the neatest
home on Caddo street is the one built
BY a share holder in the Peoples
Building and Lean Association, with
money secured from that institution.
Be that as it may, this home is evil
dence OF two things, that this associa-
tion is a help TO the one who would
help himself and that It only loans
money on the best security.
The lot upon which the house IN
question was built was owned in Zee
simple by the borrower and the
monthly payments which he is max
ing are rendering the security more
and more gilt edged every day.
For a safe investment every day,
one where your money is secured by
steadily advancing real estate values
il would be hard 10 find better op-
portunity than is offered By this COM
pany.
The president OF the association, as
well as the secretary is . man who
is known to every one in Ardmore as
a straightforward and an upright bus
mess man. The people Of this city
recognized his integrity and ability
as a business man when they elected
lim their mayor, and in the business
world ne Is recognized as success.
This can also be said Of the secre-
tary, ". A. Edwards, who will gladly
give any full information upon the
plans and ideas Of the association

These things aside. your case IL cura-

The cause Of your trouble Is inside
OF youth your thinking. You think
the world is all wrong, but you are
somewhat like the drunken man who
thinks every one is intoxicated. The
world is not wrong. You are wrong.
Now for the cure:
l put the prescription in two words
and will write it. not in Latin, as the
doctors do, but in English. It is this:
Do something.
1t is not important what you do. but
it is important that you quit your
brooding over fancied troubles and do
something that will change your point
of view.
Your mind has been hypnotizing it.

The will power has been broken
down. and some Of your faculties are
running without governor. You
have permitted your mind to delude it.

Do something. Get your mind in
shape to overcome its inertia. Do
something, if it Is only to clean your
teeth or brush your clothes or carry in
coal.
Change the current Of your thought.
Give your will power a chance to as
sert and right itself Look at your
troubles from a different point of view
Smile If you can.
Smile ut yourself and the worst is
over. You will begin to see the silver
lining of the clouds.
On the other hand, If you continue to
nurse your blue feeling it will grow
into a crouch. You will not only make
yourself more miserable, but cause dis
comfort to every one about you.
Do something. Get out of the rut.
Conditions are largely what we think
them to be. If you think blue thoughts
you will have blue feelings.
You can make your thoughts to suit
you. If blue thoughts are not to your
taste change them to suit.
The best way to change your thoughts
is to do something.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

upon the soil. In nearly all direc-
tons relative scarcity prevents down.
ward reaction in prices. In one sense
this is satisfactory. 1t means that to
meet demands not yet satisfied there
is plenty of opportunity ahead for
larger production, which will call for
larger employment for both capital
and labor. There is no general over
production. The whole country Is still
taking the rest cure. 4ietailers and
wholesalers are carrying small stocks.
Few mills are running on full time.
Conservation prevails everywhere. The
spirit of economy is gradually over
taking the spirit Of extravaganza. AS
a result trade and industry are upon
an exceptionally SCUM basis. There is
no overexpansion of credit. Our rail-
roads are curtailing as far as possible,
often cutting expenses down to the
bone. Such economies as are now be-
ing enforced by many Of the roads can
not be continued without serious ir>-
pairment of equipment and roadbed.
Sooner or later the railroads will be
forced into the market for supplies
much more freely than at present. Just
now they are embarrassed by dimin-
ished earnings and the difficulty of Sc
curing capital at satisfactory rates.
Such difficulties will in time cure
themselves. Traffic is bound to re-
sumo it's normal growth, and capital
will be more ready for new ventures
when political uncertainties begin to
vanish and confidence is restored. The
long distance view is probably more
reassuring than for some time past,
simply because the curative process
has been steadily progressing and the
increasing soundness of our financial,
industrial and commercial systems is
more and more evident. The steel
trade is in an unsatisfactory condi-
ton owing to the weakness of prices.
although the volume of business tends
to expand. In the textile trades there
