AN AWFUL WARNING.
W. L. Hall a life Insurance .man
ho furuwrly lived In Chickasha. shot
and killed himself at Outlirie Monday.
.More forceful tba.l a hundred eerinoiis
is the Message wliicU lie lini-arti d in a
brief letter left to his wife. No com-
ment could strengthen th himiln di-
rect statement In which he explained
Jsow his life was wrecked. The letter
nas as follows:
Jo My Witt:
"I gambled and lout the money. I
am not fit to help rais our children.
I cannot control my appetite for bis-
key. Tell Mr. Wey to settle my short-
age and you pay him out of my Insur-
iuhj policy. That lb all you will have.
There Is no money In the bank. I
lost that too. Try to be a t'lirlntiun
woman and raiwe my darliiiK children
vip to dread the sinht or a card a sani-
liling game or whiskey (ioodhye dear
have never been false to you. Ix-e."
AN HONOR FOR MeNABB.
It becomes mor? evident all the time
that the Commercial and Kami llureau
made no mistake when C. A. McNabb
was chosen as county farm demonstra-
tion agent.
It was no small feather In "Mac's"
cap when Klbert Cast a member of
one of hts boys' clubs won the i'.r.
tinctlon of being the champion corn
grower in Oklahoma.
On top of this came further recog-
nition of the ability of our agent when
M r. McNabb" waa awarded the first
prize on the general record made by
the boys' corn clubs of (Irady county.
This award was made upon the basis
of carefully kept records in whim
Rues! work cut no figure and It shows
that Mac not only knows bow to farm
but he also knows how to impart hid
knowledge to the boys Infusing them
with bis owu energy and enthusiasm.
The better farming movement
launched less than a year ago and car-
ried on under the supervision of Mr.
McNabb has already produced tangi-
ble results and is gaining in momen-
tum all the time. The businesti men
of Chlckasha and other towns in the
county with the aid of the county ami
federal government are supporting It
end if it Is kept up persistently for a
few years It Is bound to yield large
returns.
Plans have already been made for
6 vast enlargement of the boys' club
"work next year and also for the estab-
lishment of demonstration farms by
adult all over the country. We must
keep the good work going and weary
not In cur efforts to make Grady the
greatest agricultural county in the
state. It Is the most effective way to
tnake the county and every town in it
permanently prosperous.
o
It begins to look like the head
Schoolmaster Is about to use the birch
on the army and navy boys.
It costs only a few cents to put lied
Cross seals on your Christmas pack-
ages but by so doing you can aid in a
good cause.
Of course It is too late to be a real
tarty Christmas shopper but you can
etill shop early in the day before the
tlerks are worn to a frazzle.

Jflay erroacout reflectioa oa
the character atanding or
reputation of any peraon firm
or corporation and any mia-
atatement which may appear
in the column! of the txpreat
will he gladly corrected upon
ita being brought to tha atten-
tion of the management.
THE
BUSINESS SITUATION RE-
VIEWED. There Is no doubt that the world
stringvitcy of money has had a more
restrictive influence upon business
than any other single factor whatever
may have been the reasons for money
scarcity. This being the case It is en-
couraging to note that general ex-
pectations is for much easier monetary
conditions after the first of the new-
year. The hanking position for a long
time past has not been satisfav't try.
lteserves have been uncomfortably low
notwithstanding persistent efforts J
made to strengthen them. Business
iiK'essloii and a lack of confidence are
undesirable at all times but the situa-
tion is not unmixed with blessings if
an accumulation of funils In the banks
should follow. Money may not be as
plentiful us many anticipate but any
substantia) increase In the supply
would be a great help to railroads and
other big corixiratlons which aie
obliged to meet maturing obligations
next year the aggregate of which may
reach half a billion dollars. These
debts are not something that can be
postponed. They must be met. In ad-
dition to the refunding thus made nec-
essary new capital requirements for
addition and improvements will be
very large. The conservative policy
followed by the railroads In placing or-
ders for rails and equipment while
probably Justifiable has resuted in an
accumulation of work which must be
done sooner or later. There Is no
doubt that this work will be taken up
as soon as the money market permits.
There are those who believe that the
year 1!M4 will be a slow one for busi-
ness but with the enormous amount of
improvement work to be done togeth-
er with the Incessant demands of a
steadily growing population It Is im-
possible to see bow business can re-
ccdo much further. The steel Irndo
has slowed down considerably of late.
Hunk clearings do not point to immed--ate
expansion of trade. New buildinn
operations have fallen off. There ar j
other Indices which argue for depres-
sion. Hut It Is necessary to take a
look ahead In order to get a proper
view of things. Although at all Im-
portant industrial centers the same
story of receding busiuess is told
there are signs of better times if one
takes the pains to look for them. H
is the man v ho can get the proper
perspective who will reap the benefit.

"In a Frienoly Sort of Way."
When a man ain't fat a cent an he's
feling kind of blue.
An' clouds bang dark an' heavy an'
won't let the sunshine through
It's a great thing oh my brother for
a feller Just to lay
Uis band upon your shoullder in a
friendly fort of way;
It makes a man feel curious. It makes
the teardrops start
An' you sort of feci a flutter in the re-
gion of your heart.
You can't stand up an' meet his eves;
you don't know what to say
When his hand is on your shoulder in
a friendiy sort of way.

"Shop early" we no longer pray
But one more time we'd lilte to say:
Don't wait until the final rush
The sales girls dread that awful crush.

Jt won't be long now till we cut out

Better inspect the electrical connec-

they are sale.

Also it is a big Job to wrap all of

Excesses Extravagances
Should be as carefully avoided during Christ-
mas as at anv other time during the year particu
larly when the best is more economical than inferior
quality which sells for less. Pure clean wnoiesome
foods are more healthful and longer relished without
monotony than any other kind and "New-State
Brand" canned foods are always satisfactory. Good
enough for anybody any
- everyDOay AU-ine-iime
and wholesome; honestly packed and nonc:-uy suiu.
We very earnestly desire your own opinion to gov-
ern in the preference for "New State Brand" Cofl'ee
and Canned Foods Fruits Berries Vegetables
Fish etc and the best Christmas present you can
possibly make yourself is to get acquainted with the
advantages in quality quantity and price afforded
by the constant use of "New State Brand." Not
merely a claim of ours or an advertisement or an
imaginary advantage but real genuine superior
value for your money and more satisfactory to use.
Please be sure to call for "New State Brand" on
your order today and you will be glad that you
heard from us.
