Speaking Of the good old DAYS Of

IN interesting assertion to q New York
sporting man last week. He said that
he would put on four-ounce gloves and
let any good man, Benny LeNrard. for
instance, use his bare fists N Q four
round bout Bat says he would keep
his shoulder over his jaw and let bis
opponent break his bands upon the side
Of his facd and top Of his head. Then
with the mans hands useless, the Bat
tier would have his inning. So far rs
Nelson's head is concerned, Il does not
appear that Leonard. or any ono else.
could do much more to IL than has been
done. Both his ears are curied up. his
nose nAttened, his cheeks bulged. But
there does seem q lot Of sense in the
Raftler0 theory that gloves protect q
fighters hands and thus give him an ad-
vantage over the hare knuckle fighter.

Oklahoma City, May 25.--Approxi
tnately 1000 bankers attending the 25th
annual convention of the Oklahoma
Bankers Association here are today
making an effort to crowd into the fin
al day full amount Of serious discus
sion Of banking problems and all that
is possible in the remaining hours Of
recreation.
Speakers on today's program include
Fred G. Dennis, state bank commits
sioner Mrs. Evelyn Aldrich, Of New
York City, author and lecturer, and E.
E. Grinstead of Pawhuska, president
of the Oklahoma league Of building
and loan associations. d. N. Fink OF
Muskogee, president Of the state ban.
kers organization was to conduct
round table discussion on banking
topics.
Late today the finals In the golf
tournament win be played and the
| trophies awarded the winners.
The morning session, today was de-
voted. principally TO routine work, in
addition to the addresses delivered.
The bankers turned out en- masse,
with their wives, Tuesday afternoon to
hear Governor Harding, of the federal
reserve board who spoke at consider
able length upon the financial condi-
tions existing at the present moment.
and urged the cooperation OF all
banking institutions, large and small.
in helping TO reestablish the conf
dence of the public
Some of the salient points Of the
Haring speech were:
THE charge Of profiteering which
has been brought against the federal
reserve banks is born OF ignorance and
conceived in distrust.
I'VE must not only help the debtor
get out of the ditch. We must get him
out and we must keep him out.
Get your head out of the clouds.
! Put your feet on the ground and then
work II will bring prosperity back
| again.
THE readjustment during the last
twelve months has been severe and
the principal disturbing factor Is that
the readjustment has not been by any
means uniform.
1T Is evident the manufacturer has
reduced his prices and ia doing all he
can to reduce production costs. Whole
salers and jobbers have reduced prices
and are selling goods not so much with
reference to cost OF stock as to re-
placement values. Many retailers no
doubt ore following the same policy
while others are content TO do a slow
er business and work off old stocks.
Some economists claim that prices
fluctuate with the supply Of currency.
That Is technically correct but prices
went down with currency circulation
going up. World conditions brought
declines during last year
THE cost OF the war indestruction or
wealth has been estimated at from
$500 600 900 900 to $3.50 900 900 900 which
is greater than the wealth OF the
United States.
We are heading toward recupera-
ton but We should not expect normal
conditions until there Is further pro-
gress toward the restoration OF wealth
The processes cannot be by extreme
legislation. II will take reproductive
energy. hard work. conservation, time
and patience"

ELKS' CONVENTION
CLOSED WITH BIG
DANCE WHITTINGTON
PARK LAST EVENING

The 14th annual state convention Of
the B. p. Q. F., Of Oklahoma, came to
a most fitting and enjoyable close last
night with a grand ball at the Whit
ting Park pavilion. The attendance
was considered one of the largest ever
assembled at similar affairs in this
city. More than 500 delegates, visitors,
and local Elks were present and a
spirit of good fellowship, which is go
apparent among the members Of the
Elks organization, prevailed just as II
had for the two days during the CON
vention.
Ben SCOTS orchestra, composed OF
local talent, played in fine style. and
cheir renditions received round after
round of applause calling for many en-
cores, TO which the orchestra pleas
ingly responded.
The dance was originally scheduled
to be held at the Convention Hall, but
on account of the warm weather was
transferred 10 the park.
The open air pavilion at the park
permitted all to enjoy the cool breezes
and made the dancing most pleasant.
Many of the out Of town guests spoke
in the highest terms of the manner in
which the ball was conducted stating
that Ardmore was indeed fortunate to
have in its vicinity a park such as
tha Nbifting+on which very few cities
in Oklahoma can boast Of
a dozen or more of the visitors also
took advantage of the swimming pool
at the park last night.
The dance ended during the wee
hours Of this morning, and all the
delegates were unanimous in their clos
ing statements that the convention in
this city has been the biggest. pep
piest. most elaborate. and best ever"
