COMMUNITY INTERESTS

A quarter OF century devoted to newspaper
work has taught Col. Sidney Suggs to think
along lines in the interest of the public. William
Rocklu Nelson founder OF the Kansas City Star,
who left an estate valued at twelve million dollars,
made the statement that when he entered the news
paper business he forgot the cash till. He demon
strated that success cones to the newspaper that
works without thought OF Seshness. 1t is
natural for the newspaper to take the side OF the
great OF the public AS "a business propo-
Siton it is unsafe to take any other side.
Trained for years in this manner OF thinking
Colonel SuggS although having been retired for al
most five years is still thinking OF community in
terestS and planning thingS for the public to do
He is of the opinion thar it would be we'll for
rural communities to build fishing lakes. Without
any investment of money and with only the labor
of the community dams can be built at appropriate
places where vast amounts OF water can be I'M
pounded. These lakes can be stocked with fish,.
They can be owned by the people who contribute
the work to build them. They would serve the
purpose OF rural community much as a country
club serves the people in city
These lakes could be used for fish as food, they
can be used to develop skill in rowing among the
young men, they could be made the community
center in the time plans being
made TO have the school buildings used in the
winter season.
Lakes temper summer climate they make the
seasons better, they worth more than the labor
required to build them. Lake clubs in the rural
communities can be just popular and as useful as
country clubs to city communities when some
leader in each community is found who will or
ganize the man power among his neighbors and do
the necessary work.

Reduction in Discount Rate

No one is rejoicing more than CON
gresham Chas. d. Carter over the
reports that There will be anotheI
reduction made in the discount rate
by the Federal Reserve Banks. the
re.discount rate opened at five per
cent when the banks were first estaR
Nshed and they r0ce as high as SIX
teen per cent and Mr.. Carter SAYS
that's when the deflation was pesuh
that was so hurtful 10 business.
That the people may gain an idea
OF what this high rate meant TO busi'
ness IL may be stated that one OF
the Ardmore banks loaned money 70
it's customers OF eight percent ana
took these note to the Federal Re-
serve for discount and they were ask
ed fourteen percent interest such a
rate placed the local bank where II
could not operate and II had TO ASK
payment on the notes from its Gus
toners and the natural result was
that hard times and money scarcity
should come.
Mr.. Carter has done more work
than any other congressman to get
reduction Of the rate He and Govern
er Harding OF the Federal Reserve
Board held many conferences and
these reports that a third reduction is
TO be made this year is pleasing 10
Mr. Carter. One Of the local banks
when asked concerning the present
rate said II was seven per cent. Mt
Carter Is Of the opinion that the rate
can be made as low rs four per cent
and when that is done men who can

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS

FORMER County Commissioner George /. Evans
who moved TO the Newport community in 1857,
says that the settlers had haul their from the
settlements at Thackerville. The distance between
Newport and Thackerville be travelled in a
couple OF hours now with motor truck. In those
days of which Mr. Evans speaks it required two
days to make the trip in empty wagon and
three days to return with load OF corn.
But in those days there were no roads, time was
not considered worth very much. But in these
times OF civilization with county worth many
millions OF dollars, with organized government, we
can build roads that enable us TO do in day that
which required five days when the country was
roadess and bridgeless. 1t seems well that the peo-
pie should seize every opportunity they have to ex-
tend roads to every community. By united effort we
can build wonderful country.
The farmers OF this section have a more bounti-
ul supply OF corn, hay and potatoes than they have
ever had. Men who have a close acquaintance with
communities that farmers have hogs for
meat cattle for milk and butter and plenty of poul
try for the table.
Every crop is bountu crop except the money
crop. With the pay OF month of work with men
and teams the roads the farmers would be in
much better shape to pitch another crop.

decided that the weekly band concerts
should be held on Tuesday nights, in
stead of Wednesday or Friday, as had
been tentatively agreed upon. This
action was taken owing to the fact
that the majority of the musicians

other nights of the week. Precedence
would have been given the concerts

earlier in the summer.
A short meeting of the city council
was held, with all members present

view to establishing similar one in

Signs Help Camps
Although the camping site has been
established here for three years, this
is the first year that it has been pat
ronized in any great measure, probab-
ly due to the fact that very few
knew of it before.
This year the Rotary club has taken
up the matter, erected signs on roads
leading into the city, and financed the
printing of several small pamphlets
which go to motor clubs and CONNER

to stop here in the fall. when people

wild rides taken by some of the Ia

stepped in and made the roads COM

All sorts of machines are found
here, bright cars, shining with glisten-

with brass radiators, green with verdi

cars Of every degree and condition OF

When this invention of the 'popaa

the island some years ago, the natives
fell upon it with glad cries. Every Ia
hitian who could get credit, mortgaged
his land or his relatives land, or to
beg, borrow or steal, and fastened to
