Longer Lives as Result
OF Better Conditions

1.-THE rich, who can pay, and the
poor, who are not expected to pay,
are the only classes that get the very
best medical and surgical attention
when ILL.," declared DIR. J. N. Nc
Cormick, director Of bureau Of pub
lie health work in Kentucky, in a
statement issued at Louisville. "Not-
withstanding that" he says, "the
length Of life in America has in
creased about seven years in the last
generation" and he believes it will be
increased 80 per cent in the next
century. The average now is aboue
40 years. DIR. Mccormick says that
in India, where the average length of
life is 25 years, it was about % years
a few years ago. In Sweden, where
is the farthest advanced, the aver
age life now is SO years, he says. A
more intelligent consideration Of
health, better housing and living
conditions and concerted efforts in
the right direction are given by the
doctors as reasons for the prolong-
ment. In the cities the advancement
is more noticeable and is more mark
ed than in the rural districts.

Newspaper Advertising
Is the Cheapest

Speaking before the convention o
the National Gamers Association
in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Viii
liam A. Thomson, general manage
Of the bureau of advertising of thu
American Newspaper Publishers
Association, impressed upon hi
hearers the vital Importance Of tn,
newspapers to the canning industr,
and to business generally. He said
in part:
Newspaper advertising is much
the cheapest of the printed mediums
per thousand Of circulation. News
paper rates, like all other commod-
tiles, have advanced somewhat in the
past couple of yearsl but they have
not advanced in anything like the
same degree that the materials and
producing costs Of newsprint- max
ing have increased.
"To illustrate the relative cheap
ness Of newspaper advertising, let
me say that for the money neces-
sary to buy enough postcards at a
penny apiece to send. just once to the
28,000,000 purchasers of the daily
English language newspapers in this
country you could buy at least
page and a half of advertising in
every one of the 2,042 publications.
Probably there never was time
in our economic history when this
applied national advertising offered
by the newspapers was so much
needed as today. The selling costs
of many national distributors are
too high and the competitive con-
dition which we are moving threat
ems to increase these costs. Manu-
facturers are looking for consumer
sales and they must get these sales
at the lowest possible figures. In
creased railroad rates for trans
oortation of all kinds must be reck-
'ned with ia sending statesmen and

these conditions point clearly to the
wisdom Of knowing your markets
and cultivating business through ad-
vertising at points where it is prof
liable to operate.
Newspaper advertising will be
used in great volume in 1921, be-
cause it offers to the manufacturer
the two things which are essential
today in advertising efficiency and
economy"

every craft, business and profession
in Chickasha.
Lists of firms and individuals
who have purchased planks were
placed in the hands of soliciting
committees, each having been as
signed to given territory. In this
way, as rapidly as possible, every
firm and individual will be given an
opportunity to purchase planks or
to increase their purchase before

Name Is Discussed.
A name for the park was dis
cussed but no action was taken.
There was some inclination on the
part of the advisory committee to
sell the name of the park to some
individual, if bid of sufficient size
was forthcoming
At the meeting, the matter Of ad
vertising space on the fence was
brought up and an offer of $1,000
cash was made for all the space on
the fence. No action was taken or

J. w. Pigg, engineer who super
vised the construction of the bridge
over the Washita river between
Chickasha and Taber, is in the city
today.
This bridge, known as the "old toll
bridge" was the first structure to
span the Washita river It was COM
pleted in 1895 when this section of
the state was sparsely settled and
when Chickasha was no more than
hamlet. At that time, only three
bridges spanned the Washita and
these were wooden structures.
The construction Of the "old toll
bridge" marked the beginning of Mr.
Pigg's bridge-building career in the
southwest. He later supervised the
construction of the steel suspen
sion bridge at Newcastle, Tex. This
bridge, 700 feet from pier to pier
is said to be the largest single span
bridge west of the Mississippi river
1t was completed i'll 1908.
Two Over Red River
Two bridges in this section oil the
state connecting Oklahoma with the
state of Texas were later construct
ed under the supervision of the aged
engineer, who probably has super
yised more bridge construction thar
any living man in Oklahoma.
Both of these structures span th'
Red river, one being between TEN
