WHAT BUSINESS NEEDS

New York Journal of Commerce.:
The recent statement of the chair.
man of the Federal Trade Commits
sion that optimism is "the key to
continued prosperity in America" is
in keeping with many utterances OF
prominent observers Of the present
business situation. A closely similar
remark heard only a few days ago
was to the effect that pessimism at
this time is little short of criminal.
It is difficult to assign a definite
meaning to such remarks, or to de-
fine in very exact terms the part
that optimism should play under
present conditions. Certainly the
courage to hold steady hand and
to pursue the policy that far-see-
ing wisdom dictates, even If at pres
ent inconvenlent, Is much to be de-
sired. The position Of our banks Is
sound and, generally speaking our
business organizations are giving
every evidence of being able. if right
ly conducted, to pass through n period
OF rcadiustment with a minimum Of
disorganization and depression. AS
suredly there is no occasion for alarm.
and action or statements arising out
of such a state Of mind can do no
good, and may do much harm.
on the other hand, there is no room
for the kind of optimism that ignores
facts. There is no reason why We
shoul1 mt facp the situation as IL is
and this should be done with no at
tempt TO deceive oneself or any one
else The gospel Of good cheer, though
shouted from the hilltops, will do
little to better any of the unfavor-
able conditions that may exist ut
present. Indeed, IL such optimism is
based on the hope that the era OF
high prices and large profits is not
past, then those who are in that
state OF mind are due q bitter disap-
polntment, and the prcachments Of

GENUINE TREAT IS
GUARAN TEED FIGHT
FANS HERE TUESDAY
(By Bill krOhnl

A genuine treat is guaranteed the
fight fans OF Ardmore when One
Round Adair Of Fort Worth, meets
Stockyard Whirlwind, Of Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania, in a ten round bout at
the pavilion OF the Ardmore Ath-
letic Club (opposite the central fire
station) Tuesday night, December II.
People Of Ardmore are already IA
miliar with the work of Adair, for he
demonstrated his fine ability at Con
vention Hall some time ago when he
met the Wilson Boy Wonder, and
put him out of commission during the
first few minutes Of the fight. The
Wilson fighter at the time greatly
outweighed Adair. Adair gained his
first fighting experience at Fort
Worth but due to a physical injury
which he received three years ago, he
was unable to continue his fistic en-
gagements until recently. He has
already staged his Comeback" and
promises to show great form in the
future. Adair is now residing in this
city, and is recognized by local ath-
letic authorities as among the leaders
of the roped arena.
Stockyard Whirlwind, the boy whom
Adair meets, has already made his
reputation in boxing circles. He has
fought in most of the large cities Of
the country, and has received great
praise for the manner in which he
handles himself After his engage
ment in this city. he is scheduled
to meet Jimmy Hanlin, of Denver, at
the Coliseum, Fort Worth, Texas
Stockyard recently fought a lO-round,
no decision engagement, with DITTO
Wallace, of Milwaukee, in New Mex
leo.
Both fighters will weigh in at 140
pounds.
Preceding the main event, there
will be two good preliminaries, the
contestants Of which will be announced
later.

LIONS ENDORSE PLAN
FOR STATE HOSPITAL
AS OUTLINED BY \. B.
FELL, COMMANDER

Harold +. Fell, who is head of the
American Legion in the state Of
Oklahoma. made a talk at the Lions
Club yesterday in the interest OF an
Oklahoma hospital for tho former
service men.
Mr.. Fell gave some figures that
will be Of interest to every citizen
Of the state. He stated that every
month as many as 5000 former service
men are entering hospitals, that each
month there are discharged from
hospitals $500 men, leaving net
gain in the hospitals of 1900 former
soldiers.
There are 1000 former soldiers
alone in Oklahoma who are battling
with the white plague, there are as
many as 1000 former Oklahoma sol
diers who are in hospitals in other
states. They are away from their
families and friends and loved ones.
There are in the state 1900 hospital
beds and the care OF sick among
the civilian class requires this much
hospital capacity and there Is no
room left for the soldier boys who are
sick
Mr.. Fell then outlined Il plan
whereby oklahoma can build 81
100000 hospital with a capacity of
1000 beds without any cost to the
people Of the state except as they
pay federal taxes. If the state will
appropriate the sum of two million
dollars for hospital the federal
government will take Il lease on it
and pay as a rental one-tenth of the
cost each year for a period of ten
years. At the expiration Of that
time oklahoma will have its money
back in the treasury and the only
cost OF the state will be the use
of the money. Mr.. Fell also stated
that Oklahoma has the money now in
its treasury and will not have to
borrow it,
The Lions Club endorsed the plan
as outlined by Mr.. Fell. Resolutions
Will be drawn and sent TO 2ll the
clubs of the state, committee
headed by Senator Fred +. Tucker
will be named to be present at the
legislative session in January to work
for the appropriation and also to
invite the state to designate Ardmore
as the home of the hospital.

A Nameless Fallen Hero
HOME
WORK
PLAY

This is the story OF an unnamed
stray dog who is now numbered
among the fallen heroes of France.
He was told to stay behind
when the boys went over the top.
He didn't. When he heard the
fierce fighting, he followed.
After awhile he found the captain
of his company lying wounded on
the ground at the edge of woods.
The captain thought the dog was
some wild animal of the forest and
shot him in the leg
But the heroic dog didn't lose
courage. He seized the captains
hat and limped back to the hospital
wagon with it. At first they would
pay no attention to him, but when
they, looked at the hat and
recognized it, they at once followed
him back to find the captain.
When they got there, the officer
was dead. So they put the wounded
dog in the wagon with the body
of the man he had vainly tried to
save. Before they reached the
hospital the dog was dead, too.
These two fallen soldiers were
buried together.

such optimists, in so far as they have
any effect, will only prolong the
period of readjustnNnt. There is in
deed nothing in the present situation
to warrant undue depression of mind
but the only kind of mental exhilar-
alton which is safe from disillusion is
that based on Il realization that our
fundamental conditions are sound and
that there is every reason to expect
that after a somewhat uncomfortable

genuine business prosperity.

BOYHOOD STORIES
OF FAMOUS MEN

If man with nineteen children
had his house set on fire, how
many of the children would he re-
member to rescue?
Samuel Wesley, rector of Fps

John.
But John made himself known.
Appearing at an upstairs window,
he cried out so Justify that rescuers
came and saved him at the very
moment which promised to be his
