KAII.KOADS NEED CO-OPERATION
Development Work Being United oil
Account of Inadequate Facilities
The fact that the railroads are
falling behind the needs of the coun-
try was pointed out recently in a
most impressive way by Mr. Howard
Elliot, president of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford lines, in
an address before the Railway De-
velopment association, who said in
part:
"The development work today in
which you and all other in the
United States are interested is be-
ing halted because the plants of the
railroads cannot produce enough
transportation for the needs of the
people. The same thing is true of
many other manufacturing and in-1
dustrial plants. In these cases,
however, the country does not con-
demn the manufacturer, but, on t he
contrary, its policy has been to help
them so that they may increase
their plans and increase their pro-
ductivity.
"Unfortunately, the same policy
has not been pursued toward trans-
portation business, and now these
plants, as I have already stated, are
not large enough to manufacture day
by day the safe and adequate trans-
portation that is so necessary for all
other forms of business. Railroad
owners and railroad managers have
made errors, and unfortunately these
errors have been magnified by those
who either cannot, or do not see that
the repressive and depressing policy
of the last ten years towards the
transportation business could have
but one effect in the long run, name-
ly, that of stunting its growth.
"Some of us in the business have
tried hard to make this clear, and,
for our pains, have been called
calamity howlers and pessimists. In-
stead, what we have been trying to
do was to have a reasonable margin
in the transportation business so
that the plants could be added to
constantly and be ready to serve the
people when the peak load came.
The owners and managers are in the
position of trying to serve 100,000,-
000 people, to treat fairly nearly
2,000,000 employees, to, respond to
the conflicting rules, regulations and
demands of forty-eight sovereign
states and the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
"Meantime, the country has been
growing fast, and the result has been
a diversion of energy into channels
that were not productive for the
country as a whole; and the rail-
roads have not been able to do the
best they could to prepare for an in-
creasing volume of business. So, to-
day, the country is face-to-face with
inadequate facilities, and there
should be good temper and co-opera-
tion by all to do the work required
and to bring the transportation
plants up to the present needs and
to have a safe margin for future
demands."
HEALTH NEWS
What profieth a man that he gain
the whole world yet lose his health?
Naturalists say that long ago the
perhistorie waters were infested with
a species of enormous shark which
finally become extinct by reason of
the workings of its voracious ap-
petite. Thus nature eliminates the
over-fed.
The desire for ease of life and
plentiful diet is universal and is the
great stimulus of man and animals
alike. When man becomes greedy
and takes more ease and food and
drink than is his share, Nature dis-
cards him.
In the race for power and place,
for ease of circumstance and relief
from the stimulus of hunger, the
modern man is apt to forget that nu-
less he is careful of his body he will
soon be made to suffer for the in-
fraction of Nature's inexorable phy-
sical law. With the loss in body
tone comes an equal loss in mental
acuity and the brain which for a
time was able to operate despite the
complaints of an over-fed, under-ex-
ercised, self-poisoned body, stops
working.
Statisticans have discovered that
the mortality rati' of persons in the
I'nited States over 45 years of age is
increasing. The strenous life of to-
day is not alone responsible for this.
Lack of health-giving exercise, sup-
erfluity of diet, lack of restoring
sleep, over-stimulation, the high
pressure of the race for power,
wealth and position, plus physical
neglect, these bring early decay.
The goal is reached, wealth is
amassed, honor, position and power
are just being grasped when the
apple of accomplishment turns to
the ashes of dissilution. The bril-
liant mind becohes clouded, the
steady hand is no longer accurate,
the eye which once gazed fearlessly
on the whole world is dimmed and
it is not long before the final break
up occurs. All of this was entirely
preventable.
Other things being equal it is the
man who leads the wcllbalanced life
who lasts the longest, whose work
to the end is uniformly the best, he

was being called from the field.

able known throughout that part of

DEATH OF PKTKK BI HKK
News has reached Norman of the
death of Peter Burke, formerly of
Norman, which occured at the home
of his sister in Brooklyn, N. Y., Fri-
day. September 1st.
R. C. Terrell and family have ar-
rived from Frankfort, Ky., and will
make Norman their home. Mr. Ter-
rell was recently elected a member

who neither over-work nor over-
plays, neither over-eats, over-drinks,
nor over-sleeps, he who maintains a
standard of simple diet in modera-
tion. who offsets mental work with
physical recreation, who is as hon-
est with his own body :is he is with
his own business. When success
comes to such a one his physical
and mental condition is such that lie
can enjoy in peace of mind and con-
tentment of body the fruits of his
labors.
The regulations of U. S. Public
Health Service state: It is the duty
of officers to maintain physical as
well as their professional fitness. To
this end they shall be allowed time
for recreation and study whenever
their official duties will permit." If
the Government regards it as essen-
tial that its sanitary experts shall
be safeguarded in this way, is it not
equally important to every citizen
that he similarly maintain a high
standard of physical integrity?
The Biggest Sensation of
the Year
We have just received 50 Men's ALL WOOL Suits, in blue
serge and grey and brown mixtures. These suits were bought at
a price that enables us to offer to the public the biggest suit value
to be found in Norman. They are $18 and $20 values and we have
marked the entire lot at $15.00. Just think of it, an all wool suit
for $15.00, in all sizes from 34 to 44. We have your size now, but
don't wait as the entire lot must be sold and paid for in two
weeks, and the price will do the work. When these are gone we
will have no more to sell at such a low price.

Some people are born
