Oklahoma City
In the Dumps
Oklahoma City is in some res-
pects the most wonderful city in
the United States. There is no
j other city of the same size that
can show as big, modern, up-to-
date buildings and up to a very
recent date at any rate no town
could show a population with
more nerve and hustle.
They all seemed to believe im-
plicitly in the town. If any one
of them had a doubt about it he
concealed his doubts and lied like
a gentleman in praise of his city.
It would not be safe to be a knock-
er and live in Oklahoma City,
. which is a really beautiful condi-
tion to be in provided the optim-
ism business is not carried too far.
Almost any kind of an enter-
prise that promised to bring more I
people to the town could get help
from the enterprising pushers
j who made up the commercial club.
If a stranger visiting the town
timidly suggested that real estate
values seemed high he was re-
garded with an air of pitying tol-
| eration for his manifest ignorance
I of the present worth and future
possibilities of the metropolis.
But after all and finally, any
city is the result of natural con-
ditions and resources. It is true
enough that Knociters can retard
the growth of a town and pushers
can help to mrfke it grow: but
generally the enterprise th:>t is
induced to come by a big subsidy
furnished by the inhabitants is
not the best sort of an enterprise
! for the town.
Oklahoma City overdid the sub-
sidy business just as hundreds of
other ambitious towns have done
before. Real estate values were
inflated beyond reason and it was
only a question of time a halt was
! bound to come. The time comes
when the outsider ceases to in-
vest his money. The inhabitants,
j especially the real estate agents,
1 may try to keep up appearances
i for a while by trading with each
other but that doen't last long.
Oklahoma City was going to
build a capital building from the
proceeds of lot sales in the Cap-
ital addition. The plan looked
| feasible enough and a year ago it
would have worked out all right
and in addition to furnishing
! enough money to build the state
house would have left a hand-
some profit for the promoters of
the scheme.
The capital was dumped on
Oklahoma City either a year too
late or else three or four years
too soon. For the halt has come
in Oklahoma City. Dry, hot
weather has hurried it of course,
but it was bound to come anyway
| sooner or later. The lots cannot
be sold in the Capital addition
and if the state wants a Capital
building it will have to find some
other way to pay for it.
However, if there is any one
who thinKS that Oklahoma City is
permanently going to the bad he
is mistaken. It is going thru the
sweat, that if- all. How long it

The Open Door
THE FARMERS' STATE BANK has
opened legitimate banking privileges to this
community—privileges long their due—and
the people have shown their appreciation
therefor by the large and increasing patron-
age given this institution.
The Directors and Stockholders who make
the semi-annual examination of the bank, in
all its details, are men of twenty years'
acquaintance in this community.
It is to the interest of every farmer to
open an account with the FARMERS' STATE
BANK. In addition to the safety afforded
by the conservative management of the bank;
the depositors are further protected by the
State Guaranty Fund, and rigid regulation of
the State Banking law.
This bank is doing a strictly banking bus-
iness, and engaging in no speculative
side linen, combinations or pools.
Our Deposit Account registers the con-
fidence of the community. It is not bolstered
by any outside money, public, banks or other-
wise.
We will clerk your sales, guaranteeing
satisfaction as in the past, and will render
full and detailed account therefor the next
day showing article, purchaser and price.
We will negotiate farm loans at the best
rates obtainable.
We pay interest on time deposits, large
or small.

Just Stop and ThinK
Did it ever occur to you that in selecting
your bank that it was not for a day but for

nection.

strong in capital, conservative in manage-
ment, and permanent in its control; one
whose future gives assurance to you of its
stability.

they appear from time to time and our
method of doing business will better enabje
you to judge of our ability to serve your in-
terests to the best advantage, and we as-
sure you that we will appreciate having
