A Beautify-Your-Home Move-
ment Next on List.
l'he above caption is not our
ilioiifiht. It i- the caption, or
hea Mine thai was used a few
Sundays a^o in The Oklahonian
over the signature of Edith C.
John on. the fleecy, flowery, fav-
orite writer who says so nrmy
charming things that are charm-
ingly true.
You may not have time to read
everything that Edith says, but
you should read this, it is no! a
vision, or all illusion, that passes
away before you can reach it. It
has substance, and a core, and ap-
plies to Norman as well as every
other city in the land. It is the
pure and undefiled gospel of truth
Read what Edith says:
"If we, in Oklahoma City, were
to instruct the rising generation
i what constitutes a beautiful
city, ours would undergo a trans-
formation that would advertise us
f;ir and wide. Just as we are now
known for our great commercial
prosperity, we might become
known also for the beauty ami
cleanliness of our streets, for the
upkeep of our homes and 'nil 1-
iiig.;. for the loveliness of our
groom!4 parks. The person
vho i ed to neglect H« propertr
would suffer ostracism, if, in.ieed.
he were not compelled to put his
place in good shape.
"By no means al1 the per <>•,
\"||o tlier homes <"'!
groundare tenants a-id tran-
sients. Hundreds of homeowners,
in this, as well as other cities, let
their places run down in a i.i■> t
shameful fashion. They cut 'heir
lawns when they feel like it. not
' ■ . the ► m ■ needs to l.e rut.
i"ree- and shrubbery are permit-
ted to die for the want of .vate ■
and care. All that ' such people
want, apparently is a place where
they call eat and stay and ^leep
when there is nowhere else to go.
They have no conception of the
delight that is to be found in or-
t'eriv and beautiful surroundings,
in neat walks, pruned trees and
trim flower beds. Waste paper
may blow where it will. Rains
may wash the earth down on
their «ide\valks and backyards are
piled with trash
"One of the most inspiring
ights of a summer evening is to
'rive through certain streets of
this city and see the residenters,
the husband, the wife and -ome-
times the children, working to
beautify their homes. The city
beautiful propaganda spread with-
in the past five years is beginning
to bear rich fruit. Where one
blade of grass grew in Oklahoma
City five years ago, ten grow here
now. Where one shrub was
planted at that time, a score are
being put in today.
"Some persons seem to have
'he i lea "bat unless you have a
STreat deal of money, there is no
\i e to ti . to have an attractive
home. N > idea could be more
fallacious. A simple cottage or
bun:.;a'ow may be made lovely
wi'b the expenditure of a little
l ine, tho -;ht. effort and money,
a-, htindre !s of such homes in this
] city testify. A few repairs, a Ut-
ile paint and fresh paper can per-
form miracles, and a 50-foot lot
■ nay be converted into a wonder-
ful garden, all blooming with gor-
geous flowers.
If half the vigor and enterprise
li.it have characterized the own-
iir-own-home movement were
out into a beautifying-your own
I ome movement in this city, we
vouhi soon see as a result a re-
•r.arkable increase in our popula-
1 tion—for people like to live in
beautiful city—it would yield
even grea'er prosperity and it
vould bring us the finest kind of
ame."—Edith C. Johnson.

TUTTLE WILL
DRILL FOR OIL
Tuttle, Okla, July 31.—A pro-
duct that i.- fully % per cent'gaso-
line and coal oil has been found in
a sand in a water well here at fifty
feet. The discovery was made
recently by the owner of the ice
plant The percentage of gaso-
line is reported at 75. The pro-
due; has been tested in motor cars
here and operates them as well as
gasoline. Chemists who have ex-
amined it believe that there is a
pool of crude oil near and that
this product has refined itself in
seepage through the sand
Floyd Kimble, a local banker,
has returned from Wichita halls,
where he has contracted with the
McPhail Drilling company to drill
a test well here to 3,000 feet if
necessary. A guarantee bonus of
$10,000 has been put up by Ed E.
Jones a.i official of the McPhail
company, who will have charge of
the drilling. Jones formerly was
a banker at Chickasha. The com-
pany was assigned 10,000 acres of
leases for the test.
It was reported that the acreage
will be turned to the United Oil
& Gas company of New York
Mr. and Mrs. K. W. Hutto were
the guests of Oklahoma City
friends on Friday.

Land is the basis of all wealt h. Ths wise investor, as a rule, puts a large part of his surplus money in land because it not only
earns him a fair percent on his in /cstment from rents, but increases in value from year to year to year and thereby pays hi
larger return than he could poss ibly get from loaning his money or investing it in other securities.
In driving over the country with yorr friends von have often heard them
say, "A few years ago I could have bought that farm for ten or .twelve
thousand dollars and now ;t if wof-h tvvnty thousand.' This is the history
of Cleveland and McClain county's f?.rm?. The increase in value of our
