PLATT NATIONAL PARK

OKLAHOMA has one OF the few national parks in
the United States that has received only COM
mendation from all departments OF the interior in
spectors That is Patt National Park at Sulphur.
Nearly one hundred fifty thousand persons visited
Sulphur during this year and partook of the health
giving medicinal waters, ecuperated in the nygorat-
ing atmosphere, built thin pad muscles into bands
of iron by climbing in the hills, and enjoyed the
natural beauties of that section
Yet this great government Of ours spent only
seven and half cents per person during this year.
That is ALL just seven and half cents per capita.
The expenses of Platt National Park are the
cheapest of any national park in the country, and
it has been the policy OF the department send out
notices every now and then asking that expenses be
reduced still lower.
This mere pittance OF appropriation is hardly
enough to pay salaries and keep the trash picked up
at the camping grounds 1t is hardly enough to
permit the custodian buy peanuts for the squirrels.
A larger appropriation is needed.
Despite this Superintendent Ferris has done a
wonderful lot OF work on the appropriation and he
has done without many needed things in order the
most might be done on the smallest allowance. In
making his estimates and requests for the coming
year, he clipped off number OF items that would
mean much to the park and TO Sulphur whole.
such as the opening OF a road on the east side
of the park, purchase of new benches building a
and modern bath house, repairing and rebuilding
worout roads, and repairing and caring for springs.
Concerted action should be brought to bear upon
the department of the interior see that larger ap
preparations are made so that the Fairgrounds of
southern Oklahoma might not suffer from stufy con-
ditions as was the during the season now com
ing TO 4 close.

WHY CRY HARD TIMES?

T ,ET'S turn back few sheets on the calendar OF
time and see what Old Man Hard Time was doin.y
for this state nine ten years ago He was treating
the folks pretty hard just then. yet they didn't make
such fuss about it; they all came through and
there is need for the present generation TO beef
and howl now.
Anyway, it isn't the high prices pay, nor the
low wages we get just now that makes it so hard 1t
is the sudden change from war-timeS riches to nor
matimes conditions.
On September "a. 1902 the following prices were
being paid in Ardmore according to newspapers pub
lished tha, day: Cotton, $40 cents; com per
bushe, 40 cents, wheat, per bushel, 65 GEMS; oats,

Ardmore's Traffic Laws

sulphur, Okla, Oct. /. 1921.
Editor of the Ardmoreite,
Ardmore. oklahoma
My Dear Sir:
Believing that every one in Ard
more will be interested in what ! am
writing you about, suggest that you
publish this letter in your paper
Yesterday Mrs. j. NJ. Vale and
some other ladies drove from Sulphur
To Ardmorc in their automobile 70,
the purpose of doing some shopping.
After having spent about $500 with
your business men, and not being
familiar with the traffic laws OF
your city, they drove their car up
in front Of a fire plug there on the
main street and parked II, They
got out of the car, and Immediately
after getting out they noticed some
one driving it away. Mrs Vale ran
out and stopped the man thinking
that some one was trying to steal
the car. She was informed by this
party that he was a policeman Of
Ardmore, and he would take the ca.
to the police court, and same would
he returned TO her upon the payment
of Il $40 fine. She went to the police
court and paid the $40 fine. There.
after she phoned Mr.. Vale, and know
ing too many good people in Ard
more, and not wanting that kind OF
Treatment to be accorded Il lot oil
ladies while spending their money
,trfth I ral la1 fri.
Max Westheimer on the phone and
he Immediately went to the polct
court and had the case dismissed,
and returned the $40 check paid as
fine TO me which was delivered to
Mrs. Vale.
Ardmore is fortunate in having such
citizen as Max Westhemer. She
is likewise unfortunate in having a
man on the police force with no
better judgment than the officer ex
ercised in this instance. He could
have easily told these ladies it was
against the law to park in front of "A
fire plug and they would have imme.
diately moved their car. Folks com.
ing into Ardmore from the smaller
towns are not as well acquainted with
the traffic laws as people from larg-
er places, and good judgment should
be exercised in matters Of this char
acter and especially when crowd
of ladies are alone on their shopping
trips.
The result OF Mr. Westheimers in.
terest in these ladies behalf is that
they have no hard feeling towards
Ardmcre. and / think it nothing bur
right that the matter be brought 10
the attention of your other citizens
Sincerely yours.

Z THE ART OF BREVITY

PEOPLE who sell things should cultivate the art OF
brevy. 1t takes longer to sell articles
than il does others. Usually the higher the price
the longer it takes to close the deal. The art of
brevity consists in saying only enough to close the
sale. Many statesmen talk themselves out OF sale
through their fondneSs for dispensing language.
brief sales letter may consist OF page, or
oi two three four pages. 1t is brief il it contains
nothing beyond what is necessary. Not one letter in
hundred thousand is as brief it should be-
1T is better to be brief than tedious is piece
OF business advice" cued from Shakespeare. And
Sophoces long aa discovered that "a short saying
often carries much wisdom.
Trusting to hear from you soon" and assuring
YOU of deep esteem" and hundreds OF other orna-
mental phrase beloved OF etterwriters in the past
are falling into dsuse. They are unnecessary, mean
ingless and becloud the real message embodied in
the letter.
There is the other extreme, OF course, that OF be-
ing too bref. "In laboring TO be concise wrote
Horace. e" become obscure
In selling, write say everything which is neces-
sary to make Your proposition clear and convincing.
Pare of every word, every phrase, every illustration
which befogS the issue and retards the sale.
Few people who talk for living make the
mistake OF being too brief. Usually they would do
better ii they permitted their customers to talk more
and il they themselves would be better listeners.

Solomon said, "There is no new

thing about that corn bread editorial
is that it imperiously sets aside the
above provesb, for here in auda-
cious effrontery comes to light the
new thing-a male editor Setting him
self up as head of the Woman's De-
partment.
The fact of the matter is that sugar
is necessary to corn bread Not in
great quantities certainly, not en-
ough to cause it to ferment--but a
teaspoonfull is a great help. 1t not
only browns the bread nicely, but It
also keeps it from tasting flat
So, unless the editor is really living
a double life, he should be careful
about his writings Unless he can
demonstrate first hand that corn
bread is better without sugar, he had
best have his wife or some other
woman test his recipes before giving
them 10 the public.
