A. J. Holiday. OF Glenn

Some six of seven years ago A. ].
Holiday who lives in the Glenn COM
munity northwest of Ardmore was
tenant farmer. At that time he was
between a. and so years af age. He
did not figure that he was getting too
old to attempt to do things and he
bought farm consisting Of go acres
and nc must have bought good lands
because there is no other kind out
about Glenn.
1t has been about six years since
the purchase was made, he lost two
crops by hail storms and he has had
to contend with poor corn crops for
lack of moisture and has fought
through the times when the people
were talking buy a bale to help the
farmer" but in spite Of these hard
ships ne does not owe a penny on hi
farm and he has ii pretty well equip
ped with farm implements and witt

NJ. A. Buck. Ardmore

NJ. A.. Buck who rents farm near
Ardmore formed the h~bit Of many
other tenant farmers and came 10 Ard
more each spring to mortgage his crop
and team to borrow from 5000 to 5000
to he used in making a crop.
One spring morning Mr. Buck came
to Byron Drew who was then in the
State National Bank to get his usual
loan of 5000. He always paid what
he owed and had no trouble in getting
the money. After the loan was made
Mr.. Drew turned to him and advised
him not 10 take the money and use IL
as he had been accustomed to doing
but advised him to buy some cows,
some hogs and some chickens and to
earn his expenses through the spring
months
The idea appealed to Mr.. Buck. He
talked the matter over with the home
folks and ii was decided TO follow
the advice of the banker. The pur-
chases were made, the stock were
given attention and during that year
Mr.. Buck sold $500 worth Of milk and
butter and eggs and pork from the
purchases he made with the 5000.

might drif, his way.
Wages were on the boom in
this country at that time. so
young W. A. Prichard, for that
was his name, secured a position

cent salary of si4.OO a month
and board. Did he save money?
Well in the language Of the young
lady across the street, He didn't
do nothing else" and that was not
all he did, he found time for
study and included human nature
in his course of study. He didn't
quit his job either. He stayed
with the milking for one year.
The he got something better.
The w. NJ. Killgore Company
once owned one of the biggest de-
partment stores in the southwest
and it was located at Marietta.

five years have passed since he bought

thought they did not have a chance
Mr.. Stafford was making one.

every man to examine himself 10 see
Ii he is classed with the great ma

It might be well to anaiyDe the
reasons why men cease TO grow
One of them may be found in the old
teaching that is continually dinned
into The ears of young people. Many
mothers and teachers will say TO

do not take advantage of your op-
portunities now you will have no, OPP
portunity for growth and education
because opportunities pass when YOU
have reached the adult age"
Many children grow up with this
belief than II they do not study and
learn while they are children that
they have no opportunities after they
are grown.
The truth Of The matter is that OPP
portunities come with age. Lives
are built and characters established af-
ter one reaches his majority. The
child is under the influence of parents,
his initiation comes when he must
look out for himself He does not be-
come original until he throws off the
influence of others who seek TO mar
row his path. Original Independent
thinking makes the man and courage
to adt upon ones own initiation de-
velops the mind.
Many men acquire fortunes after
they reach fifty. Men of so have
mastered foreign languages. School
life can be used to build founda-
ton but opportunities come after the
child Is away from school. The idea
