READY TO LAY TOP COAT On
FIFTH AVENUE PAVEMENT
In Absence Of Imported Rock, Con.
tractor Baum Bought Crushcr
and Used HOMEGROWN
Material.

Contractor Ed Baum reports that
the concrete base and curbing and
guttering OF the new Fifth avenue
paving is about completed and that
within a few days work of laying
the top coat of poured pure asphalt
will commence. The pouring OF the
top coat is done quickly. and 1t will
not be long until the pavement is
ready for opening to traffic.
An interesting sidelight has been
thrown on the construction of this
pavement this week. Due to scarcity
Of freight cars and other troubles.
MIR. Baum found that he could not
procure rock which he had contract
ed for in another part of the State,
and he faced a probability of having
to default on the job.
He Investigated bit and found
that just north OF Durant is an in
exhaustible supply Of very hard and
flinty rock. which he thought would
be ideal for the purpose. He had
samples of the rock compared with
samples from his original source OF
supply, and the homegrown rock
was found in every way superior to
the imported rock. So Mr.. Baum at
considerable expense imported n
fine rock crusher, and got busy on
the Durant rock. The freight on the
crusher and rentals. are about offset
by the saving in freights on the I'M
ported rock. and at that, he says,
the street is being given better
paving than could be made with the
other rock.

WHY ALL SHOULD
INVEST IN THE
LIBERTY BONDS
Terse Statement From tho Federal
Reserve Bank Gives the Public an
Accurate Account Of the Nations >
Condition and Needs.

The following statement prepar-
ed by the Federal Reserve Bank OF
Dallas, as to this Nations needs, re-
sources. etc. will give the reader n
good idea of what we are facing, and
why he should buy a Liberty Bond:
The statement follows:
The total yearly income Of all the
people In this country is estimated
at forty billion dollars.
During the first year OF the war
we must find eighteen and one half
billion dollars, or about forty-seven
dollars for every hundred dollars we
earn.
These figures are astounding, but
we can get by. and II you will
read on you will see how we are 60
ing to do it.
There are two was's in which the
Government will raise this money
by taxation and by borrowing mon
ey from you.
| The more the Government will al
low you to loan to It the less 1t will
have to tax you right now. There
fore. ease your taxation by buying
Liberty Bond.
Argument about facts which have
been mentioned is useless. We are
in the war; we MUST win, and to do
1t the money MUST be found.
This is how we are going to find
the mOney-BY ECONOMIZING
AND SAVING.
Duty demands It: common sense
advises it, and the Government calls
upon you to do 1t.
WASTE AND EXTRAGAGANCE
MUST GO. and the money so saved
loaned to the Government or given
up to them in taxes to carry on the
war.
Give up the money you waste on
the "unnecessaries" Of life, and buy
a Liberty Bond with 1t. You will be
putting by for rainy day and serv-
ing your country at the same time.
Many people in the Eleventh
! Federal District have money that
they do not need until spring. They
should loan 1t to the Government at
good interest 1t is good business
and good Americanism.
| You do not part with your money
when you buy Liberty Bond. The
Bond Is as good as money; 1t is
yours to borrow on; to sell. or to do
as you like with. 1t pays good In
terest too.
Taxes never come back; they pay
no interest; they are dead expense.
Again we say ease out your taxa
uon by buying Liberty Bond.
! DO not be scared at having to find
all this money. Billions OF 1t Will be
paid back to the farmers and work
men or this country. Billions Will
be loaned to our allies at interest
and will form huge National Bank
account. which we can draw upon
later. This country is In the DOSt-

INDIANS MAY PAY

given the State Auditor OF Oklaho-
ma access to all records of the Gov
ernment dealing with the incomes Of

1t is thought probable, in view OF

with incomes high enough will pay

others than tribal members. II
