No. l2-Gabriel Norman Wright.

Marc Anthony once said that all
men are ambitious. lie didn't say
that all men attained their ambitions,
and he was wise in letting that part
unsaid. Few men do achieve their
youthful ambitions.
But to get on with the story:
There IS a man here i'm Tulsa, and
as one Of his friends said OF him
the other day, he is one of the big
gest men in Oklahoma-Who has al
ready achieved his one ambition Of
his life, And let it be said right
here that having achieved that one
ambition, he Is not content to sit by
and watch other men battle to
achieve their youthful dreams. on
the other hand, he is still in the
middle Of the battle every day and
every hour.
Something over a score Of years
ago, we won't say just how much
over, there was mau-child born.
We hate to tell this-but it was in
Arkansas, not far from the town Of
Mena. The wonderful event occur
red on farm, but then, you know
that is usually the birthplace of a
great man.
His parents named this lad Gabriel
Norman Wright, but his friends call
him either &c. N" or "Gabe."
AS boy on the farm in Arkansas
he dreamed of some day being a
banker All through his life he car
rned this dream next to his heart
and four or five years ago he real
ized this dream, and today Is presl-
dent of one of the leading financial
institutions in Tulsa.
Today this Arkansas boy in the
prime of his life is recognized as one
OF the coming men Of Tulsa lie is
president of a clothing store, presi-
dent Of a bank, a manufacturer Of
cement pipe, owns a big fruit ranch
in New Mexico, is interested in much
city real estate and has extensive oil
and gas interests near Tulsa. This
would keep any ordinary man busy
with 1t all, but he finds time to at
tend to the multitudinous duties Of
president of the Commercial club, to
hunt big game in the mountains Of
New Mexico and to fish for noun
tain trout in the same place once in
while.
For several years in his younger
days-and he is still young trav-
eled on the road for a Baltimore
clothing manufacturer.
Later he went into the clothing
business in Oklahoma city, where he
was married
Ten years ago he came to Tulsa
and since then his rise has been
rapid He was in the abstract bust
ness when he first came here, but
later with the Idea OF later starting
a bank on the location, he secured
the building where the Wright Cloth
ing company Is located and opened
clothing store, At that time he in
tended to use the location for bank
when the time was opportune.
Four years ago, however, he opened
his bank on the opposite corner, still
retaining his clothing store, and only

Stock Farming.

There are so many ways open to
independence for the American farm
or that IL would be a practical i'm
possibility to enumerate them at one
trial. We might CLEAN a few from
the successes of those who have seen
the light. In every section we find
various methods. yet each community
has within it's scope some advantage
not found in all. In conversation with
stock farmer the other day he
stated that he started in with one
brood SOW His initial idea was to
raise meat for home consumption. At
the end of the first year he had
surplus. which ne disposed of to ad-
vantage. Figuring this surplus as SO

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folk
call It. Hamburger Brust Thee" at
any pharmacy. Take a Tablespoonful
Of the tea, put a cup of boiling water
upon It, pour through sieve and
drink a teacupful at any time. 1t Is
the most effective way to break cold
and cure grip, as 1t opens the pores,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking a cold at once.
1t is inexpensive and entirely Vegc-
table, therefore harmless. s.-Adv.

south.
A few weeks ago whe the busl-
ness men of the city were casting
about for a president of the Com
mercial Club, they decided that G. N
Wright was the man for the job. A
delegation of merchants waited on
him and urged him to accept the
place. He finally said he would If
the men of the city would back him

holds that position. He has already

While he is reckoned as being we'll

Get Right With God.


But some will say. you are always
rapping the churchmen and the
preachers over the knuckles. And,
your stand on the liquor and other
moral questions is at variance with
the general opinion of religious peo-
pie. Perhaps that is so. but we are
rot guided by the consensus OF re-
ligious opinion, rather preferring to
search the scriptures" and deliver
the results to you in all sincerity and
good will Go TO the same source and
il you can do better may God be with
you. AS for tho church people they
ought to be the salt OF the earth"
but how much Of that salt has lost its
SAVIOR. How can we hope to bring the
world to Christ II the church Is not
alert TO show the way? Let us uook
up this matter OF personal purity; let
ug clean up our own backyards be-
fore we call the health officials to
look after our neighbor's. Now
therefore. beware. l pray thee. and
drink not wine nor strong drink"

sight Of his responsibility to the God
for whom he should speak Too often
the eloquent tongue, the learned mind,
the smiling face and the cordial hand,
all very desirable things in the pulpit,
come to be much more in evidence
than the spirit OF the living God. 1t
is time to learn from the angel, who
refused reverence to himself ana
pointed to God as the only object Of
worship.

THE SPEED MANIA.

Seattle Sum-
 I Is unfortunate that the Chicago to Seattle auto trip should have wound up with the killing of former State Senator George Dixon. It is more lamentabe that this should have been going at the rate of speed of over fifty miles hour wet roed. Disaster is sure to oyertake such reckless driving.
 Every day adds its quota to the long list af iatali- ties due to the speed mania It would seem that there an exhiiariaon in automobile speeding which leads to an intoxicaton which is indifferent Go dangerous consequences Men not only hazard their lives, but the lives Of those who ride with them by ignoring the simplest safeguards
 It seems impossible to bring about sanity through legislation. These dare-dcvis ignore all speed laws in their mad rush against records. If the automobile dealers of tho country would start movement n con necton with their business to warn the people against dangers of speeding they could reflect everlasting cred upon their business They doing splendid edu- catonal work along other lines and there is work within their province which is more Important than this and ultimately 1t would add to their sales by re- moving from the public mind the constant apprehension of danger attendant upon motoring

THE MAKING OF A cTY

The fact that Cordova today IS probably the arg- est shipping port in Alaska if to measure ship ping by the value of It's exports indicates two things first that the Copper River Northwestern railroad has Justified the faith of its builders and second tha it takes more than railroad to make city
 Many people in the history of the west have banked her all upon the coming of railroad to make them rich by creating metropolis of the town in which shey located only to find out that s takes than the operation of freight trains and wharves and the trans fer o merchandise or raw materials from rail to ship to make a city We do not mean that cordova will not grow large and become prosperous. but it win do that because H Is the center ot country ful of rich re- sources Che development of which win give employment to labor Growth and greatness did not come ready made with the railroad but they win come slowly and gradually with the development of the surrounding country and the payrors which that means

RAILRoAD AND s-HoUR DAY.

Union labor organizations of Seattle protesting against the proposal work men for more than eight hours day on the government railroad in Alaska There are two sides to this particularly during the early stages of the railroad organization before plans shall have been developed point where more people can be employed Speed in the construction of the road is as important the laborins classes as any other Laboring men are interested in seeing that work shall be provided for many as possible. The date when great numbers of men may be employed depends in a large measure upon how quickly the preliminary con s,rueon work can be got out Of the way and room made for men to work
 And yet further. every mile of railroad that IS constructed win add to the work that there will be to perform in other lines than railroad construction. It could very well be that longer hours at this partcu lar stage of the railroad operations would add to the to the number of men who win be given simultaneous employment rather than otherwise.
