A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By s. W STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

1t is gratifying to note that the cur
rent year has prov I'd to be the greatest
era of home building aud home-owner-
ship in the history of our country.
This is important because these act
ivities signify widespread practices of
thrift.
The building of homes means the
creation of new wealth, coming either
directly or indirectly from the savings
Of the people.
Slatistcians tell us that during the
year 1922 considerably more than one
billion dollars will have been utilized
in the erection of homes for our people.
1t is not possible to show exactly what
proportion Of this tremendous expend-
iture represents new home-ownersbip,
bat nothing like the wave of home
ownership that has swept over the
country this year ever has been wit
messed before.
1t IL splendid commentary on the
rightful tendencies in American life
1t shows right thinking and right liy-
ing, and should prove most discou-
raging indication to those vino hope
for the disruption OF our present social
order. These developments are Of
special Significance at the present time
when there is so much unrest in the
world, and when the enemies of law
and order are apparently making pro-
gress in some foreign countries.
In 1920 there were II, 400, 900 home
owners in the United States and this
number has been greatly increased
during the intervening two years. 1t
would probably be safe to estimate
that there are 10. 600 900 home owners
IN the United States today. A nation
which spends more than billion doll
ars year for new homes and which
numbers $4,000, 900, home owners
among its population, most assuredly
offers scant comfort for the alarmist,
the Bolsheyist or the pessimist.
In many ways we as people are I'M
mindful of the values that come from
thrift. There are grave examples of
waste aud ineftlciency, but the fund
amentals are sound a nd no better proof
of tins can be found than in the extent
OF hOme-ownership in America and
the rapid development of this phase
OF our national life There is no finer
example of thrift than this. and no
more significant proof of the sound
ness and potential strength of our
nation.

EDITORIAL
OF THE DAY
FIELDS GUNS THE CARDS

Senator Capper's hired man, the Joy
and pride OF the republicans OF Okla
homa. who heads the state ticket in
Oklahoma, is having hard time max
ing his political propaganda stand up
and at the same time keep in line
with his masters voice" from Kan
sas.
Jawn has been going over the state
rdiculing that plank of the walton
platform recommending a state con
trolled grain elevator. Now the repup-
licans Of Kansas, where Senator Cap
per is boss, have started an agitation
for a state controlled elevator in that
state, possibly several of them. Clyde
NJ. Reed. chairman Of the public utili-
ties commission of Kansas started H.
Victor Murdock's paper, the wichita
Eagle, leading republican organ OF Kan
Gas, edited by Victor Murdoch. re-
publican congressman, endorses the idea
and furthermore editoriclly comments
on the fact that the state of New York
which is not accused Of being social
stic, has already built and is oper-
ating just such an elevator, big one
with capacity of handling two million
bushels of grain a day.
This makes II rather embarrassing
for Fields who was making this one Of
the strongest issues OF the campaign
against Walton. Republicans as well
as democrats are wondering how he ls
going TO dig out OF this hole.
The fact is Fields is not making a
good campaign. He gets TOO many is
sues crossed and he has trouble max
ing utterancos conform 10 the repub-
llcan policies laid down by more as
tute and experienced politicians. In
other words he gums up the cards on
nearly every deal. So much so that it

BAND CONCERTS

The numerical appreciation and
generous applause accorded the mil
itary band from Fort Sill which
gave a couple OF concerts in Ard
more during the past few days is
a clear call to the business and civic
interests Of Ardmore TO see to 1t
that band concerts are regular and
intergal part OF Ardmore's life in
the future.
Thousands OF persons heard the
band concerts-heard and appreci-
ated. Those persons generally were
not OF the class that can afford to
go to neighboring towns for music.
Neither can they have expensive
musical instruments in their homes.
For many, we suspect, the concerts
were the first they had heard in
months-yet Ardmore has band
OF its own that plays well and that
can be secured for a series OF con-
certs for a moderate sum.
To elaborate upon the benefit OF
music upon a community would be
dealing in platitudes. What music
did to the morals OF soldier boys
during the war is fresh in our MEM
ory. The impress left upon the ma
tion by music, upon the world at
large by music is second only to
literary education.
A band concert is more than a
mere blending OF musical instru-
ments. II is an appeal to the better
sediments OF human beings. 1t calls
for response from those higher
elements in mans nature. a well
balanced concert stlrS consciousness
to love, patriotism and JOY OF liv-
ing. 1t lifts US for the nonce out
OF the everyday cares Of mundane
existence into a sphere OF unfet-
tered pleasure.
The Ardmoreite would like to
see the city, either through the
city administration or the Cham
Der OF Commerce, contract with the
local band for whole season OF
concerts. II this cannot be accom-
plished before next summer, well
and good, but it should be donS
while the experience OF the mill
iary band is fresh upon US.
