Tho Mr.. Avery and The World have

Interest at Low Ibb.
Cyrus Avery came ;nto the office
of county commissioner OF Tulsa
county four years ago. At that time
Tulsa county did not have one single
mile Of j65- 5-duy-in-the-year roadway.
Guiing these four years he mas Deen
the moving spirit of the commission
and his every effort has been for more
and more miles of good road.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Avery
has been the subject of more or less
discussion on the part of people VINO
have not benefited as largely by his
road building as they would have
liked, It is but fair that some presen-
tation of his side of the case be made.

Tulsa with Sand Springs, built at the
suggestion of Charles Page. In this
connection it is interesting to note
that Mr.. Avery left $2,105.22 in the
road fund 20 the credit of Wekiwa
township. tho that township only paid
SS.l23.O5 into the road fund for the
year of 1867 and only paid Sl2.-
25l.0l into the county funds instead
of come $4,000 as has been claimed.
Some years ago Wekiwa township
voted $4,000 in road bonds OF this
amount the township trustees spent
1000 and left an uncompleted road
Tho two thousand left was used IN
completing this road. one of the pret-
test hill drives offered travellers in
oklahoma.
The Tulsa-S -Sapulpa Highway.
AS u finale to his four years Of
service Mr. Avery planned and. with
with the aid of his associates CON
tractcd for roadway that will con
meet Tulsa and Sapulpa with a hard
surface road and another roadway
that will open up the Gushing fields
to oil men who desire to go and come

along the south side of the Arkansas
river, thru Fisher and connecting with
the high line road for Gushing at Key
stone. All but three miles of this
road has been completed and the bal
ance is unuer contract and will be
completed by spring. Tho this road
VIII open up a vast new farming dis
trict wherein the people now patron
ize Sapulpa, and tho it will enable
Tulsa oil men to go and come from the
Gushing and neiehboring fields with
out taking Il train or an airship, the
building of this roadway along the
south side of the Arkansas river has
probably done more than any other
one thing to bring down upon Mr..
Avery the attacks to which he has
recently been subjected.
Set High Mark for Successors.
Today Tulsa county has the most
complete and modern road making
equipment to be had. 1t owns a large
rock crusher and means of transport
ms It's product to the roadways at the
lowest possible cost. A foundation
for surprising roads has been laid by
Mr.. Avery and the new commissioners
have large task in the making If
they equal his record as county com

Mr.. Avery is a shining example of
why 1t does not pay a citizen to serve

BIG BILL FARNUM
 COMING TO FOX'S

Bill Farnum is coming to Fox's,
 Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the
 popular idol of red -blooded theater-
 gOers will be seen in his latest. and
 by far his best eight-part production,
 When a Man Sees Red.' which is an adaptation of Larry Evans wide ly read story which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post under the title of "The Painted Lady," It presents Farnum in one of those roles in which he excells big, brawny mans man, a sailor of the old type which is fast disappearing, and it deals with the swift and ter rible punishment that he meted out to the man who ruined his sister and broke up his home. There is one of the most realistic fist fights in the film that has yet been, seen. and well it might be thought realistic, for when 1t was being caught by the camera, Farnum, throwing care to the winds, and utterly losing himself in his art, forgot himself for the time, and pitched into the fight with bare knuckles, with the result that his antagonist was laid up i'll the hos pital for week after, and the hlm- ing of the picture had to be postponed until he had sufficiently recovered to permit his going on with the work. But the fight was such a good one

SIDE TALKS
Things and Peace.
BY RUTH CAMERON

in the last six months as in the six months before that What She Did With all That Money.
 "Isn't that splendid" I said, and what are you going to do with all that money?"
 As we talked she was picking up her bedroom and at that question she suddenly swooped down and picked up a worn pair of bedroom slippers. She held them towards me. I'm go- ing to buy myself new decent pair of slippers without feeling extrava- gant,' she said, Tor without thinking I ought to wait till Christmas and see if someone doesn't give them to me-"
 I suppose I looked astonished for she went on.
 Money to Replace Things That Wear Out.
 'I mean that's the sort of thing I'm going to do, not try to get lot more things or nicer things, but just have enough money to replace little things when they wear out without wonder ing where the money will come from and if I can afford it. That's enough luxury for me-"
 In other words the money was not to mean more possessions to her but more peace. Peace of mind is one of the most blessed things in the world. Why we continually pass it up for the sake of more things and still 1 more things, is one of the riddles of existence.

Isn't it an astonishing thing the way people who have been having hard struggle to make their incomes cover their standards of living, and hating that struggle bitterly, will act when their incomes are enlarged.
 One would think their first feeling would be,-here at last is freedom from this bitter struggle. I can pay my bills and stop worrying.
 But no, nine times out of ten their first thought appears to be, now l can buy a piano, or a music box, or some other expensive clothes, or an automobile, or have a telephone. And To the margin that would have meant freedom from struggle disappears, and the struggle goes on, dealing with larger sums to be sure, but just as bitter, just as harassing, just as peace destroying as ever.
 Naturally Such People Must Spend
 Their Increases.
 Mind you, do not speak now of people who are below the dead line of a decent living wage. Naturally they spend any increase they get. Or rather they don't do anything as ac, tive as spend it, they simply see it gobbled up by the necessities of ex- istence. l mean people living in de- cency and comfort.
 Not long ago I was visiting a wo- man who with her husband has been waging a hand to hand fight for some years with narrow means. Life has grown a little smoother for them the last few months, the business her husband has been struggling to es- tablish is at last beginning to show signs of life and activity She told me that he had made twice as mucl

while it lasted, that it was kept as part of the picture.
