CHOOSING INVESTMENTS.

CEVERAL years ago a young man in Oklahoma 'iW
~ saved up several hundred dollars, lie became inter
estcd in oil investments and bought stock IN several com
panie, His judgment very good and he still has
the stock whose value he docs not know since the COM
panies property.
About the time that the young oil investor PLACED
his funds where he believed they would bring him fine re-
turns friend OF his invested several hundred dollars ol
hi. savings the first payment on an Oklahoma farm
He ha. continued TO money and made the additional
payments which give him clear title to the land
Any young man in Oklahoma who wishes to found a
fortune can well make the by buying land The his
tory of the buying Of land in the United States is
tinuous story Of increasing values The land itself is
inanmae guarantee Of profit
II any young wishes to &c, rich in quicker man
ner than possible in tho land investment and has fond
ness for oil stocks he probably accumulate fortune
by getting oil company guarantee him increase
in the value o the stock There's money IN oil invest

STRENGTHENING OUR NAVY.

CONGRESS voted lot OF money to build craft for
nav%and the people OF the United States indorsc the
appropriations But there to be ashcsancy in man
ming the various units OF the navy
There is abundant patriotism in Oklahoma City But
it the north branch OF the Canadian river deep enough
TO pcrmi, the passage OF hostile foreign submarines and
such floating fighters, perhaps would comprehend the
situation much do the people who live along the sea-
board
One OF citizens has letter from his son who is an
officer in the navy The letter indicates that the United
States building great navy aud that these bacshps
and other vessels completed they arc likely to ride at
anchor in some hdrbor for want OF scamcn.
So the Oklahoma Navy league asking patriotic people
to urge more enhmcnts in the navy at this time, when
international complications call for stronger navy not
necessarily give battle but in the hope that iorccuI
flee, may enforce peace on the high seas
All over the land We hear OF training camps and va
rou leagues formed to put volunteers in shape for army
il land forces arc needed Yet the demand right IS
for men in the navy than for a volunteer army
\ land invasion seems far off But ii pause Ia
think conditions tho that separate country
from Europe wc know that crisis conironts us
In its efforts induce young men to enlist in the
United States navy, the Oklahoma Navy league should
receive more support than has been apparent The mem
ber OF this league have been working faithfully to imprc
upon the people of this tho importance o strengthen
ING our navy They plead Tor aid Let there be response
upon the part OF the young and let there be financial
and moral support from those who are not able to mcci

OPENING OF THE 800 BLOCK.

TODAY marks epoch in the industrial growth OF OKLA
homa Ciy-opening OF the 500 block This is the block
which starts at the Scott Halliburton corner OF course
there stores in that block prior to this twenty third
day OF March hut that block has filled so substantially
with important that the propctos deemed fitting
to consolidate their efforts in bringing the attention o
the public the tact that the downtown business section
is spreading out
1t seems only few years ago-rcally it was in 1902
that real estate man urged friend to purchase
the two lots which Drcamad hcacr now stands THIS
ground was occupied by frame building that was used
as boarding house the house and two lots were offered
at $500 little cash and the balance any old terms.
But the real estate agent received this reply 10 his sen
Sibc suggestion What Buy that property AWAY OUT
THERE?" Again the real estate man pleaded that the
investment be made He stated that after the first small
payment was made the rent OF the house would pay ou
the balance due by taking adysutagc ot the loan and
building plan
The investment was passed up AWAY OUT THERE.
The who didn't invest went away from Oklahoma City
seeking gold mne overlooking the gold mine IN the 500
block He is back here now makes his home in Oklahoma
City and would like buy the Drcamard property ter
$500 but tho owner will not sell
The building up OF this 500 block !, Just another Of the
marvellous industrial steps which Oklahoma City has taken
That block has slowly been gaining with the erection OF
the new building for the Chamber o Commerce and with
great new railroad station to he built Just around
the from the end OF the block the retail section IN
its acreage and prepares talk OF additional squa'
miles rather than mere acres
One OF the delightful feature, OF the opening OF the st"
block today is to read the advertisements many OF which
extend welcome to Robcr, NJ Scott who has the inc
new drug store in the Chamber OF Commerce building
The Scott store was ono the first in this city MIR Scott
and two or three other merchants business having
been constantly behind the the people OF
this city while the population growing in twenty y-cgh
years from nothing to 0OOO
The opening OF the E0 block and the iorcciul CONNER
cia announcements made by the merchants OF that block
arc impressive We arc reminded tha, our city ha,
strengthened II the population had not gained trcmcn-
dousy and il the buying power Of the community had
increased extensively there would bc no need OF the ocn
ing of the 700 block
So here's welcome to those cntcrpri,ng merchant,
OF the 800 block May they prosper and soon be able
