THROWING AWAY THE PEOPLES MONEY

n OES anyone know how many thousand dollars OF the
- peoples money has been thrown away in this county
by the building of dirt roads which wash away in wet
times and blow away in dry times1
Probably fortune has been expended in this manner
and what have we to show for it1
This county has invested lot of money in concrete
bridges These something worth while. They arc
permanent They monuments to the wisdom OF county
commissioners
If permanent bridge is good thing, then why not
permanent roads of the character1
What would the taxpayers of this county do If the
commissioners should construct lot of bridges OF dirt
Would there not be revolt, recall, riot?
BY their silence the people have permitted their own
money he expended in temporary roads These roads
arc of much in muddy times; they uninyit
ing in dry times Users of roads have become interested
In the proposal to substitute hard roads for bad roads
There is strong sentiment right In Oklahoma
county for the voting OF bonds to build REAL
ROADS, juts the people of Okmugce propose to build
hard roads with the $4,000 of public funds whch-werc
voted for the purpose.
Our taxpayers tired Of throwing away their money.
They tried this method in the early days OF Oklahoma City
but finally awakened to the stupidity of the plan and
voted real money TO build real hardsurfaced city pave
mcnts They ready TO do the same outside of the
city limits.

nine years it necessary to make appropriation OF

In every we'll settled farming community in the land

Some day pedestrians will be, by sta.
tute from Our highways cast, for any
candid man must see that they're .

they are permitted here, in spite Of
motorists appeals, | hold it wise my
car to steer so they won't get beneath

Luke McLuke SAYS.

At last a woman has been elected TO
congress and will take seat in that
distinguished body Long may she
wave in politics, and may she never
lose her supporters.
One reason why we never save any
money today is because it is going to
be so much easier to save money to-
morrow.
1t is all right TO yank the baby
around by the arm. But any nurse
maid knows that If she lifted Fido by
the tail she would be discharged in a
hurry.
With monographs selling for S., we
may expect TO see even the most hum
bic of the Hoi Polloi learnedly dis
cussing the merits of the Peat and
Pheasant and III Trovaturc.
The old fashioned Indian who used
to do a Green Corn dance now has a
son who goes out on Amber Rye
dances.
Another reason why you shouldn',
borrow trouble is because you will
have to pay it back on the instalmeni
plan.
1t doesn't matter how long he waits
no widower ever waits long enough to
satisfy his first wifes relatives.
And just because woman is mar,
ried and has to do her own houSework
is no reason why she should go around
the house all day looking like some.

DELAYS ALWAYS DANGEROUS.

IT HE banks of Oklahoma City hold than $1,000
900 OF deposits. Much Of this will be
spent in local retail for Christmas presents And
the buyers who delay their Christmas shopping will en-
counter danger which never existed with such force
it does this year.
The danger is this: The amount of money in Okla
homa City and every other city of the land that
Christmas shopping this year will excel that of any
former year And if there he general delay the part
of shoppers it will be found that the big stores of this
city though spendidy equipped with selling forces,
will be unable handle the business of the week mmc
dately before Christmas
The worry about this matter is not for the merchant
but for the shopper. II there be delay there will be
disappointment The stores can handle only certain
volume of business When the limit is reached, beated
purchasers will find that delays dangerous.
For years the public press has urged early Christ
shopping The results have been satisfactory. But
this year we are confronted by unusual conditions OF
prosperity. The nation is full OF money And money
will be expended freely that merchants will be per
picked to serve their customers.
Today will be good time TO do real shopping.
