Tries to Give Away Plat National Park

DLATT National park in Oklahoma
was established In 1902. II con-
tains but S4S acres. 1t has sulphur
and bromide springs of medical value.
Last year It attracted about $4,000 Wis
itOrs, most of them from the adjacent
city of Sulphur. So Plat is hardly
up 10 the standard of the national
parks. 1t is slated to he reduced to
national monument.
In 1913 Plat got an appropriation
of $1,000, which has gradually been
decreased TO $4,000 for fiscal year
1920. While the national park items
in the sundry civil bill were being con-
sidered in the house just before ad-
journment, Harreld of Oklahoma Of
fered an amendment increasing the
appropriation from $4,000 to $4,000.
Then Good of Iowa, chairman of the
appropriations committee, offered a
substitute amendment which provided
for transfer of the park to the state
of Oklahoma and, In case of the failure
or refusal of Oklahoma TO accept the
park, for the sale of the park either
by sealed proposals or by public auc-
ton, the proceeds to go to the treas
ury.

There is nothing to stop his taking a

Any responsible dealer can sell Certain
teed if ne plays the game squarely. He
gets fair profit, but he cannot stretch
it because SO many dealers handle it and
everybody knows the price.
Of course, you know what to expect
from Certain-teed. 1t is highest quail

gets it when he wants it and he gets
what he wants. He can afford to sell
you at fair price.
