Wrong Impression
A misplaced decimal point caused
a lot of misunderstanding in Norman
Sunday.
In an article in The Transcript,
the Norman tax rate for next year
was given as $5.38 on each $1,000
of property valuation. This should
have read $53.80.
It was stated in the article that

IT WAS INTEGRAL PART OF
GREAT MAN'S CHARAC1ER,
SAYS MINISTER
"Saving is the innovation of char-
acter."
This was the outstanding state-
ment of Dr. L. S. Barton in his ser-
mon Sunday evening at the Uni-
versity M. 1". church, South, on "A
Great Man balls."
In the course of the sermon the
speaker showed how the early ac-
quired habit of saving influenced the
life of John Wanainaker, who died
recently, and made him a fitting ex-
ample of the relation of character
to saving.
Went to Work Early
A resume of John Wamamaker's
life and the influences affecting his
character, as outlined by the speak-
er, follows:
John Wanamaker was a poor boy,
the son of a brick mason. After
the death of his father, John, only
14 years old, was forced to leave the
public schools and go to work in a
small clothing store. lie received
onliy a few cents each week, all of
which went toward defraying the
expenses of a large and needy fam-
ily.
Advanced later to a more respon-
sible position in the store, his wages
were advanced to $1.50 a week. Out
of this small sum the boy, display-
ing that sense of industry which was
to characterize his later life, saved
$100 with which he established a
clothing store of his own. the first
of the great chain of Wanamaker
stores of today.
An Investment in Humanity
The civil war started the same
year Wanamaker established his
store. Many houses were forced to
close their doors, but by pure busi-
ness acumen and frugality Wana-
maker weathered the storm. Then
gradually he became a man of
