and by attention to thrift, viii not lower the

son. They will carry on where their parents
quit.
The reclamation of human life is more i'm
portant than reclamation of waste land Every
person that is saved from the state of depend
ency and placed on the plane of self-supporting
independence is an addition to both the moral
and financial assets of the nation. A liability to
the community becomes an asset-by the way
Of thrift.
The bureau describes the functions of the
savings department thus:
while it is simply savings bank, it reverses
the general order of things by taking the bank to
the depositors instead of having the depositors
seek the bank A representative of the bureau
goes to the homes of these people and collects any
amount they want to save and deposits it for
them. The individual accounts are kept in the
office of the bureau, The majority of the de-
positors save only small amounts, but they are
getting the habit of saving and realize the i'm
portance of doing so. Through this branch Of
the bureaus work several families who formerly
depended on township aid have acquired the
thrift habit and are self-supporting. The
committee which has the direction of this work
her of families during the coming year."
A prospectus of the bureau, recently pre-
pared, has been put into the mails. Several para
graphs of the statements should be engraved on
the minds of all of that their Importance
would be with us always.
1T is not hard task to give man some
thing material" says the prospectus.
"But to give something of material service,
that will not only relieve his immediate distress
but will have wholesome and permanent effect
on the home in which he lives, the place where
he is employed, the school which his children at
tend in short, to give the service which will pro-
mote the physical, moral, social and spiritual
welfare of the man, his family and the commun-
ity, is no easy job.
Zone member of the community cannot be
helped as lone individual, because No man liv-
eth, unto HIMSELF We are all living together,
consequently we must all think together and
work together. The job is a big one and involves
individual appreciation, community understand
ing and harmonious team work.
eve do not think that the good citizens of
Richmond are Indifferent, but we know that the
large majority are ignorant of the conditions
which make our job so hard-sckness, death of
the breadwnner of the family, old age, accidents,
inefficiency, low mentality, immortality, bad
housing, poor housekeeping, extravaganza, fam
ily misunderstanding, Indifferent and ignorant
parents, hayward boys and girls-conditions
which confront our daily workers."

JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO

~
Just a little while ago the earth
was very young. Great and gigantic
animals of the wild, floating masses
of ice and stone and metal, strange
men and women as we'll, forests thick
and big, these things were but touch-
es of a magnificent Earth-youth-Just
little while ago.
Just a little while ago we were but
babies. Each one of us warmed by a
mothers heart and fondled by her
fingers Of running love. Just little
while ago.
Just little while ago we couid
hardly wait until the O'Clock bell, so
that we could run quickly through tne
back lots to where the old creek hela
thousand thrills, dear to every boy.
And gee, the walnuts, and chestnuts,
and chipmunks, and woodpeckers, and
the rabbits-they all had some special
interest that drew US to them--just a
little while ago.
Just a little while ago we walked
out of a big building, which was one
of many in which we had spent four
wears of happiness. And We had
long roll to take home with us-which
we have not looked at, 10 these many
wears. but which represented long
foil. and A little sacrifice, and lots OF
love mixed in. 1t was just little
while ago.
It is never but just a little while
ago. We daily work and strive. Lie
can never be figured by letters on a
dial
Just little while ago Summer was
here in it's garb. of green and its
mvriad tints and co1orings. And birds
of thousand sorts sang to us their
fayorite strains. But before the sum
mer came the Spring, and before the
Spring came the Winter-each IN lts
turn, Just a little while ago.
We fought, tsorrowed. loved, lost
ven-iust little while ago.

rise shall LAY another shadow before
YOU. and that Also shall be gathered at

our failures, and try very hard 10 keep

Dinner Stories

A large crowd had halted and all
were looking up at fourth-story win
dow. The lower sash was open and a
child leaned far out over the sill, try
ing to catch a sparrow.
Explanations of horror broke out as
the infant reached further and furth-
er over the sill.
At length woman spectator cried
out:
What idiots you men are! Why
don't you go and tell the child's moth
err"
Three or four started, but they had
not crossed the street before the child
lost its balance and pitched out head
first.
There was shrek, which was sud
denly checked. as the child stopped
short in his headlong drop and hung
squalling two feet below the window,
with stout cord tied round his waist
His howls brought a woman to the
window. She pulled him up into his
room again and then shouted to the
gasping crowd below:
Think ! don't know my business,
er? Well, just do; and you can move
on, pleased"
The girls lips quivered and her
breath came in labored gasps. But
she did not speak.
do you love me?" pleaded the
young man.
II don't know" was the answer.
Gently he insinuated his arm around
her neck.
Darling, would you like me to ask
your mother first?"
With a sudden cry of terror she
grasped him by the arm.
"No, no." she shrieked convulsively;
She's a widow. l want Won rlYself,"

Real Social Service Work

The description few days ago of the savings
||chb, which the Social Service Bureau conducts,
lis only one Of the many merito1ious features of
Its work, but it proves conclusively that the bu-
|reau believes in the prevention of poverty.
By striking at one of the contributory causes
|of poverty-the improvidence of some and their
failure to learn how to save-it prevents their
|appeals for charity 49,.
No one wants to be poor But some are indi-
gent because they cannot help it. Many who are
in this class were not taught the value of sys-
tematic saving and so are unacquainted with the
basic factor in establishing financial independ-
ence, namely, the ability to lay aside regularly
certain portion of their income They were
taught many things at schools, but this lesson
was not taught there or under the parental roof
They cannot be censured severely, for partly they
are not at fault.
The plan of the Social Service Bureau sup
plies this deficiency. It teaches them how to
save. After they have accumulated small sum
of money they begin to see the value of refrain
ing from spending everything that they earn
often for useless and unnecessary things. When
the habit of thrift is established they no longer
fear the wolf at the door.
One case is fine example. A man, who had
been assisted periodically by the township trus-
tees. was induced to test out the savings club by
making a small deposit. He became so COM
pletely wed to the plan that now he not only re-
trains from calling on the trustees for aid, but
also is paying for house which he has pur-
chased.
The bureau certainly is fulfilling its mission
in a most excellent fashion. 1t is remaking men
and women Instead of being negative agency
for good in this community, it is positive means
for the eradication of poverty by the substitution
O., thrift
Reports of this kind emanating from this
bureau, are happy events to chronicle They
show that we are teaching the unfortunates ones
of our community to help themselves and to exalt
themselves by their efforts out of pitiful
condition. This is constructive work that makes
real men and real women, who become real cit
liens Their children, seeing the change that has
been accomplished in their homes by right living

that the new organization was launch
ed.
Ardmore is ideally located in south
ern Oklahoma for holding such show
and the promoters believe that it will
be worth a great deal to the city's
business interests to have this show
here annually.
Definite announcement for date OF
holding the show will be made as soon
as the secretary has heard from agents
in adjoining counties. 1t is likely
that it will be held just prior TO the
state show at Oklahoma City for the
reason that many who will show here
will also take their stock to Okla
homa City to compete in the state
event.

When q store advertises judiciously,
II attracts public attention and 1t
increases its business. But the in
crease Of receipts Is not usually
eQualed by a corresponding increase
Of expense. Most stores could double
their business without doubling the
number Of clerks, or doubling their
rent, light. heat and other charges.
Consequently the charge per ar
tcle for this so-called Overhead" ex-
pense keeps decreasing ns the busi-
ness grows. II receipts double and
costs Of doing business increase only
50 per cent, It Is manifest that the
overhead cost for each article sold is
proportionately less. As volume OF
business increases, the business is
more economically done. and the cost
Of removing each separate article Is
reduced. The public gets the differ
ence In lower prices.
The advertised store tells the public
