Everyone is speculating on the business outlook wondering J8-21 Oklahoma Seate Bank Bldg.
bow the world was going to get back to the same conditions that
preceded the World War. Tbia is likely never to happen and it
tney take years before we reach another business basis as satisfac-
tory as that destroyed as a result of the great conflict.
If theconferencemeetingat Washington esnarrar.ge tosettleall
disputes, or arrange for future settlement of questions that result
in wars, the world can safely rearrange a system of commercial i
exchange, and are likely to do o, that may be gradually improved
upon and continued uninterrupted for centuries to come provided
wars are finally abolished. t
This terrible aftermath of the war is causing as much if not
more suffering than the war itself. The countries of the Old World

are feeling the effects of the evils to a much greater degree than we Office over Garber 'State Bank
of this country. Not only are tfceir industries paralyzed but many
of them are suffering more or less with famine.
While the agricultural states have received a most terrible
blow in the extreme deflation of the values of farm products, yet
families on home farms have reason to be thankful that they are
at the fountain head of food production and^the food they consume
is not increased in price by being shipped at high rates over our
looted railroads.
Business revival is reported to be slowly but surely increasing
and by next summer it may be made manifest to a very zreat de-
cree. If the finances of other nations who were wrecked by the
war can be arranged so that credits can be extended to them and
their wants supplied our surplus products from farms and factories
will find a ready market at substantial prices and all kinds of busi-
ness 4will become more and more satisfactory Por this reason
much good is expected to be accomplished by the Washington con-
ference where questions of commercial relations and everything re-
lating thereto should as near as [ ossible be settled.

If the council of nations can at any time settle the question of ^"0r P'aster'Q9
commercial relations so as to remove any and all friction that will aQd Mason Work
arise among nations from this cause alone, they will have removed Guarantee all my work to
the greatest of all causes for war. No country as powerful as our £'ve satisfaction,
own and with a commerce ^ great will calmly and without protest GARBER. OKLA
permit of ports of as great countries like China to be closed.1
The open door policy of Secretary of State John Hays, made some Postoffice-Fairmont or Garber,
years ago during the Boxer siege, is likely to be adopted as an Phone—Garber 126, or Fairmont Rural
American policy and placed, in our estimation on par with the
Monroe doctrine.
The wealth of any country is measured by its productive re-
sources and its natural wealth. The mon^y or credit tokens is
again measured by this wealth in evidence. If bonds exceed the
wealth that a nation is possessed they become worthless in the
same ratio and a great many of the war-stricken countries are in,
this awful fix. How to remedy this evil would seem to the average |
mind like attempting to unscramble eggs.
If it were possible without injury to anyone to wipe the slate
clean and cancel all public debts and allow the nations to start
anew, how like a blessing it would be. It would boost civilization
ahead one hundred years. Unfettered from this awful load and the
world would soon retrieve its losses caused by the war. The de-
mand for a wide range of commodities in enormous quantities would
soon start up business with a rush and the question of unimploy-
ment would soon be settled. Values would soon be adjusted to
near an equitable basis and the uncertainty of the present would
be removed. But it is useless to extinuate. The burden must be i
borne by the nations as a penalty of war and if it is necessary to!
teach them the folly and waste of war then the chastening rod it
becomes will result in a blessing to the world.

The fact of Col. Washington A.
Roeblinjf, eighty-four years ©id. being
elected to the presidency of a big
bridge company, has prompted B. C.
Fortes, the financial writer, to In-
vestigate the truth of the saying that
America U a young man's country. It
isn't so. he says, according to the
Philadelphia Evening Ledger. Big
men, he declares, do their best work
after they are fifty.
E. H. Gary was past fifty when he
took hold of the big job with the
United States Steel corporation that
he has held for more than twenty
Not one Important railroad presi-
dent In the country is le-s than forty;
hardly any less than fifty. Samuel
Rea was fifty-eight when he took hold
of his present Job with the Pennsyl-
vania. Truesdale of the Lackawanna
Is seventy; Elliott of the Northern
Pacific, sixty-one; Lovett of the Har-
riman lines, sixty-one; Smith of the
New York Central, fifty-eight; Willard
of the Baltimore & Ohio, sixty.
One of the most powerful bankers
in the country,.George F. Eaker, is in
his eighty-second year! Another, A.
Barton Hepburn, is seventy-eight.
Though Charles M. Schwab, Henry
P. Davidson and Frank A. Vanderlip
won fame £arly (that is, before forty),
their greatest work has been done
when they could not possibly be
classed as chickens.
All of which seems to show that
fame, after all, is no cradle snatcher
or chicken stealer.
Let the cockeries crow as they may,
the wise old roosters still appear to
dominate the heap.

Various relief projects of the Junior
! American Red Cross in European
| countries resulted in helping 237,000
i destitute children during the last fis-
OAKL cal year, according to the annual re-
port of the American Red Cr«ss for
that period. The growth of the activi-
ties of the Juniors abroad Is mani-
fested by a comparison which shows
this figure is 200,000 larger than that
of the previous fiscal year.
The National Children's Fund raised
by school children, members of the
Junior American Red Cross, was
drawn upon for $420,557 for these proj-
ects. Receipts for the National Chil-
dren's Fund during the last fiscal year
totalled $155,817.

FUTURE POSSIBILITIES
This country is evidently on the eve of very great develop-
ment. The possibilities that.this great land of ours can be under-
stood only by minds educated up to that standard necessary to
grasp its greatness.
'J he production and transmission of electric energy is only in
its infancy. Before many more years every possible means will be
used to increase the supply of this most subtile of forces. It is
claimed that there is enough waterfall which, if harnessed, to pro-
duce electric energy sufficient to supply all the needs of millions of
future homes and of mines and factories and even supply sufficient
to electrify every line of railroad on this continent.

American Lumber Company's Practical
Aid to the People of War-Dev-
' astated Districts.
Thirty-one hundred portable houses
are being sent to northern France and
Belgium by one American lumber com-
pany; the first shipment left Balti-
more on the New Britain recently, says
the Christian Science Monitor. The
size of the contract is better under-
stood when one realizes that the cost
of transporting the SI 5.000,000 worth
of houses, each weighing from forty
to sixty tons, will be $1,000,000. To-
gether with the other contracts which
preceded and which will follow, this
means the transformation of many
square miles of landscape, a second
transformation since the summer of
1914. Among the ruins of stone cot-
tages many centuries old, wherever a
stretch of level ground has been cleared
between cellar and shell holes, new,
brightly painted frame houses are
springing up overnight.
The effect on the peasant of this
great change in housing, a leap from
the middle ages to the latest develop-
ment in the quick and cheap, will
doubtless be varied. Many doors and
many windows will make a difference,
and so will walls which are anything
but soundproof. But most important
will be the question which will come
to him as he psaes on his American-
made dwelling:
"My house has traveled. Why cot
I?"
Statistic* Supplied by Department
of Agriculture Reveal Rural Con-
ditions Notably Satisfactory,
""How are the folks on the farm
faring?" Is a question that is answered
with a "Very well, thank you," by the
Department of Agriculture at Wash-
ington. Looking into the average
American farm method of living, the
department finds that the farmers are
as generously supplied with meat as
any other class of people, observes
Gus Karger in the Cincinnati Times-
Star. Strangely enough, they don't use
eggs as abundantly as the folks else-
where, but they use more milk, even
where there are fewer than the aver-
age number of children.
Except in Southern states, where
"quick" breads are often preferred,
wheat bread is the staple. A relative-
ly large proportion of starchy vegeta-
bles is consumed and a relatively
small quantity of the green and suo
mi'ent kinls, in spite of the fact that
farm families have the best opportun-
ities for growing vegetables at home.
The studies of the home economics
division of the Department of Agricul-
ture "bear out the general impres-
sion," the report states, that on the
average the farmers' families have an
abundant diet, with enough different
kinds of food to insure good health.
Whether the food is well cooked and
attractively served the studies do not
show. The fact that almost twice as
much cooking fat was used by the
farm families as by the general aver-,
age indicates that farm house wires
are inclined to cook too many foods by
frying. The only -ecommendatlon is
that it would be well for the farmers,
to use more eggs, more coarse cereals,1
and a greater variety of vegetables!
and fruits, especially more green'
vegetables.
FINEST TRAINiNS FOR YOUTH
Business Man Tells Why He Would
Have His Son Get Full News-
paper Experience.
"Journalism teaches that results
alone count, that excuses and equivo-
cations are failures," writes Henry;
Scott, vice president of a paper com-
pany. "There is a discipline in big;
newspaper offices that does not exist;
In the average business, and that dis
elpline Is based on the motto, 'No ex-
cuses.' It Is accepted in ordinary
business that when a man is told to
do something he usually expects de-
tailed instructions. 'Where do I go,
what do I do. how do I do It. what do
I ask, and what will I do then,' are
the questions that show their utter
helplessness and lack of action.
"On the other hand a reporter gets
this training as no one else does. He
learns to lean on his own initiative.
He gets an assignment, plans his cam-
paign and then carries it out without
asking any questions. When an ob-
stacle conies up in the path of the
average young man he stops and yells
for help. But a newspaper man
learns to either go through it, knock
it down or skim around it in a hurry.
He has learned that excuses can't be
cashed at the bank.
"If I had a boy and wanted to give
him a rigid business training in or-
der that he might bring distinction to
himself some day in his profession,
whatever it might be, I would like to
give him about two years under a flrst-
clnss city editor, the kind that com-
mits Dental murder three or four
times a night."

Doughty Pickax Passes.
In the hands of lazy laborers the
pickax becomes the irritation, despair
or agent of humor of the average ob-

Into mockery of labor because of the
carefully calculated leisure with
which they swung it. By their meth-
ods these ca'canny clock watchers
changed the pickax Into a visible sign
of leisure.
Rut without knowing it these lei-

To Preserve Famous Trees.
The National Geographic society
recently presented the United States
government with the title to the last
(110 acres of land which complete the
"big tree" stands forming Sequoia na-
tional park. The p.irk, established to
preserve the most massive trees in
the world from being converted into
lumber, totals 1,5)11 acres. It was
purchased in three sections, during
1910, 1920 and 1921, for a total of
$146,330, only $ri0,000 of which was
contributed by the government. The
remainder was contributed by the
members of the National Geographic
society, their friends, and by a tax
levy of Tulare county, California.—

Claims to Transplant Eyes.
New eyes for old can be given blind
creatures, claims a young Hungarian
zoologist. He says he can transplant
sound eyes from living creatures to
others that are blind. Before the
Vienna Biological society he said that
he had (Experimented first with fishes
and frogs, and then with rats, moles
and other small animals. He had ob-
served that fishes which had lost their
sight sometimes lost also the coloring
of their bodies. By replacing their
blind eyes with sound ones taken from
another living creature, he had re-
stored their sight and their coloring
too. Frogs, when they became blind,
gave up seeking food, hut with their
new eyes were as diligent as ever In
this respect. Professor Kolmer de-
clared that he had examined some of
the eyes transplanted by Koppanyi un-
der the microscope and had found
them normal.
Toasted a Dead King.
Now that the city fathers of Paris
have got back from their trip to

story on M. T.e Corbeiller, who, as
president of the municipal council, is
about as close to being mayor of
Paris anybody can be for Paris has
no mayor In the American sense.
SI. I.e Corbeiller was called upon,
at a Stockholm banquet, to respond
to the toast of "Ln Belle France," the
president of the republic, and so forth.
Raising his glass of applejack, he
replied:
"I drink to the health of King Oscar,
to that of the royal family, to the min-
isters."

his friends will tell you maliciously.
