Increase Capital Stock
1 Almost $10,000,000 increase in build-
ing and loan i ompaiiy capitalization
occurred in Oklahoma during the year
1920, according to the fiscal repart
of the secretary of state submitted
to Governor Robertson by C. J. Ken-
die. assistant secretary of state,
j It was pointed out by the assist-
ant secretary of state that the capi-
talization increases afford a real ex-
position of the home building move-
| nieiit in Oklahoma. The majority of
1 he companies represented on his tec-
Iord sell their stock or lend money
i to home owners or prospective ones
and the increases point indirectly to
ihe number of new homes being built
I The secretary of state's office is
1 more concerned with the amounts of
inc. cases than the total figures of
home loan capitalisation The state

000. The boady will open bids for the
ward building to be constructed at
the Vinita hospital for tre insane. The

^ Wilson Ice Price Held Reasonable
I, Investigation by the corporation
commission of the Wilson Ice and
Coal company which serves the Hew
Itt and nearby oil fields and charges I
51 cash and 90 cents by coupon books
for 100 pounds of h . resulted in the
iliscovei > according to commission
j authorities that the price is reason-
able. The Wilson company covers a
i wide territory, the investigation show-
ed and# members ol the commission
decided that considering expenses, the
i charge, lliougr perhaps as. high aft
any in the state, is justified.

"Going Fishing."
Now's the time for everyone with
the hug to go lishin*. The game hog
goes for fish —the real sport goes for
fishing. The one chap would clean the
streams and pickle the product for
personal use If he could. The other
would stock the streams with the
gamiest lish to increase the joys of
fishing.
There is more than one way of show-
ing you have been fishing. The in-
crea - d health, \ Igor and tan give evi-
dence of tlie out of doors. Kishin' VjC
fisldn' puts pep into your thinking
and punch into your performance. Fish
in the pan and the odor of frying call-
ing loud enough to call the cat from
the barn or your friend from the next
block is the evidence of fishing.—Grit.
To Test Metal Airplane.
Difference of opinion over the re-
liability and strength of the all-metal
airplane has caused the British gov-
ernment to purchase one for the pur-
pose of testing it to destruction. The
machine selected is built of duralumin,
supposedly as strong as steel and very
light. Engineers will put weights to
parts of ttie wings and fuseinge where
they know there Is great strain in
flight, and will add to the weight un-
til the portion they are testing co|-
