BETTER HOMES FOR FARMERS

NOT as much as thirty per cent OF the good till
able lands in this section of the state is under
the pow.
There is need for land to be cleared there
is need for more ground to be broken, there
is need for and better farm homes.
The people who reside on these farms have the
time to clear up new lands and they need the work
The owners OF these idle lands need to have these
Improvements made. They need lands cleared
and they need more and better homes.
Now while labor is plentiful and while building
material is cheap is the time to do this work.
This section OF the state has never had time be-
fore to do this work. We have been too busy raising
crops to take time to put under the
plow,
Many men who own lands have required ten
ants to live in poorer houses than they deserve
\ family in a good house has more pride than
family in a log pen. A family in good house will
work better, will raise stuff and will take
better care of live stock They will spend more for
furniture and musical instruments. They will earn
more and spend more and the entire country will
reap the benefit
Farm lands in this country will sell fol-
their worth the markets until better homes and
better barns are built.
Land owners often remark that the great need
OF the country is a better class of farmers. The
truth of the matter is that the landlord is responsible
for the class Of farmers. Build good homes for the
men you have, build good barns for their stock
they will take greater pride in their work and tht
truth will dawn upon you that the need of the
country is better treatment for the tenant farmer.
Clear more lands and build better homes ant
barns on the farms of the country.
The value OF Southern Oklahoma lands are judg
ed by the houses built upon them. That's why Hi
nois sells lands for $500 an acre, while ours bring
one-tenth OF that price

A. CURTAILMENT IN
NATIONAL ADVERTISING

Anyone who has followed business
developments during recent years must
have noticed the enormous increase
in the volume of national advertising
and its relation To the development Of
American business.
So closely has advertising become
linked with American business and
American life that business authorities
are virtually unanimous in their opin-
ion that there never can be a curtail.
ment of any moment in its volume.
The belief has been expressed fire.
quently of late that our present system
of taxation and other influences than
the real economic value of this method
of merchandising have been respons.
ible for the more recent growth of ad-
vertsing volume and that the allevia-
have prevailed for several years may
result in reduction of all classes OF
advertising.
This idea brought forth an illumin-
ating comment from one Of the ma
tons foremost financicrs. James l.
Clarke, vice president of the Nation
al Bank OF Commerce. New York, re-
viewing the compilations of Printers
Ink and the New York Evening Post,
which made possible "A survey of the
fluctuations in the volume of news
paper and magazine advertising I'm
the United States over a period OF ten
years and its comparison with an ac-
! Of p-
clared that There appears to be no
reason to believe that the notable in
crease in periodical advertising dur
ing 1919 and 1920 was influenced 10
any great extent by federal taxes. or
was the result of any factor other
than the stimulus of business activity
and that "the experience of the past
ten years and especially that OF the
period of depression in lSl4-15 and
1920.2l seems to demonstrate that tiia
place Of advertising in the present
economic system is thoroughly well
established and II seems improbable
that there can ever be any very con
siderable permanent curtailment Oi
/ its volume"
| ThlS expert goes OH ~ say '"''
ANY great decrease in volume OF
advertising would have a profound
effect on the number and distribution
Of both newspapers and periodicals
and on the interchange Of opinion
which they so greatly stimulate"
After comparing the seasonal varia
tions of business and advertising. he
points out the intimate effect and re
lation of advertising to business by
showing that on the whole the volume
Of advertising lineage possesses mark
ed stability. rising less rapidly than
business in seasons of extraordinary
activity and falling less rapidly in pc
riods of depression.
SO many institutions have been ouil'
upon foundations of advertising and
American manufacturers and produc'
ers have come TO rely so greatly upon
this system of distribution that a cur
tailment Of advertising in these days
Of intense competition would virtually
amount TO commercial suicide.-Critch

BERToN BRALEY is ssl

ACCORDING to the daily papers from the eie,e
East, Berton Braey newspaper poet, has way
that breaks through all barriers and goes straight
to the hearts OF the winsome asses all over this
country OF ours.
Many people know Ber,on. His short poems are
carried in a thousand or more newspapers. and in
corner OF the headings is an outline picture OF
him; handsome face. strong chin sleepy eyes, an
abundance OF hair. broad smile crcling the stem
OF his pipe, which he appears to be smoking always.
Now, the papers Of the efieie East upset the
dreams and burst the bubbles Of many OF Berton's
admirers few days ago when they put on party
in Greenwich Village celebrating his 5Sth birthday.
With further hope for those with bruised
hearts, the newspapers announce that Braey has a
wife and ono kiddie-and they geographically COM
ment on tho number OF hearts that we're broken by
this dual announcement.

BUSINESS COURTESY

COURTESY is one OF the biggest factors in build
ing up business successfully Ask yourself
whether YOU will trade at the store OF perpetual
service perpetual waiting, where the clerks smile
frown, where the purchaser is given preference to
anything in the house As customer or buyer YOU
wanted to be treated decent
1t is amazing how much better person will get
along in life if he is watchu to do little service for
others and be patient and accommodating in meeting
their requests for assistance and service. Those who
offer snappish remarks and curt answers never get
anywhere beyond the most humble position.
The fellow who will go out OF his way to dc
favor is the who makes the business friends for
himself and for his house. The business success OF
great many people has been built on their specially
friendly and courteous
The fellow who is open and above board. who is
frank and gentemanly who is afraid to voice his
convictions, who is not persuasive is the fellow
who is going bring home the bacon to his en-
ployers. He doesn't have to be courteous to point
that is usually termed sissy" He needs but be
friendly, open-handed and open-heared
IT. in addition to this genial manner one can
show constant thoughtfulness and be always
thinking how he the interest OF the people
he meets in business, how he can perform services
for them and assist them in getting the information
they need. he is very going to develop circle
OF loyal friends.

 I&autioned him to remember he was a married man, and he left short ny saying he was going to spend the night at the store.
 1.-TWO days later he returned and told me he was going to Providence to spend two weeks vacation with Dolly's people who had a cottage near the seashore.''
 From evidence later secured by the police it was found that before leav- ing for Providence he married the Knight girl at St. Johns Episcopal church, the assistant rector, Rev. Donald M. Green, performing the ceremony on July 13. He gave his name as ''Timis J. Moran" and his birthplace as Swisel, Mo.
 At the time, Miss Knight was em- ployed by Attorney Ralph T. Beers, and resided with sister at 260 River street, a few blocks away from the Moran home and but a short distance from the home, of the Fo1eys. Miss Knight had come to this city from Worcester.
 While residing with her supposed husband in Providence, Wife No. 2 became suspicious and returned to Bridgeport where she conferred with the Bureau of Investigation. Young Moran returned here last Thursday night, and while alighting

Lyric Will
 Open Monday

On Labor Day, Monday, September 9th, the Lyric theater will open for a season which it is expected will rival all past years. The success of this term may be rightfully expected for two reasons, first because of the spIen- did program of plays which will be presented during the next five or six months, and second on account of the high grade players who have been secured by the management to pre- sent the various pieces.
 During the first week, the company, headed by Hooper Atch1ey and Edna Preston, will present John Golden W1nchel Smiths super-production. " Turn to the Right" It is a sweet story from which men and women of all ages may gain a wonderful lesson. The theme deals with the effect of perfect mother love upon three erring youths.
 Among the other productions which Bridgeport drama lovers will have a chance to see will be ''Buddies,' '' 'Smilin' Through Blind Youth, !"
 Scandal" '"The Acquittal," Scram- bled Wfves,'' Three Live Ghosts. 9 The Man Who Came Back" and ."The Hottentot."
 To make the coming season even more pleasing to the public Manager George Arvine has announced that pre-war prices will be in effect.
