prosperity and is making growth
of the most substantial kind. For
months the sound of 1 lie carpen-

over town building operations
being in progress in both the bus-
iness and residence districts. The
demand for houses is still strong
and hence there is every reason
why construction work should
continue. Chickasha is the logic-
al place of residence for the large
number of people who are being
attracted to this section of the
state by the developments in
nearby oil fields and there is no
doubt that our population will
show a marked increase if the
housing shortage can be met.

WHAT IS A .BUSINE8S
EDUCATION?
It is the key that opens the way
to a successful business career. Do
you doubt it? Do you question
whether it is wise to get a business
education? Then try to get a posi-
tion in the office of any of the hun-
dreds of different lines of business
in any city and you will have these
questions asked you very quickly.
Are you a stenographer?
Can you keep books?
Can you write accurately on the
typewriter at the rate of fifty words
a minute?
Can you operate a posting ma-
chine? - -
Can' you transcribe letters from a
dictaphone?
Are you quick and accurate with
figures?
Can you compose a good business
letter and spell correctly?
Can you write a good business
hand?
Stop and think how many young
people of your acquaintance can do
these things and you will Immediate-
ly realize why we are getting calls
every week that we cannot fill.
You can get this training In a few
months; then why not begin now?
Do not postpone it another summer.
You have already lost too much val
uable time.

Dartlesvillc Examiner.
A dispatch Ihc otlcr day told
of the collapse of Deputy ' Paul
Cbtcssaigne Coyou -in the cham-
ber of deputies. He fell in a I'ani
in the speaker's tribune during
an impassioned address. Kcgain-
ing consciousness and still lying
on top ot the speaker s desk
where they had laid him he turn-
ed toward the assembly and said
"Please accept my sineeret ex-
cises." A small thing to be cabled
across the Atlantic and printed in
an American newspaper. .Yes
but how characteristically French
and therefore how interesting!
Yet nobody would say the French I
are unselfish. Politeness there-
fore while instinctive -with them
must be some quality apart from
other dominating characteristics.
An Englishman or an American
in the same circumstances would
feel quite remorseful at having
been forced to inject his personal
weakness into a moment of such
importance but he would not
apologize for it. Ralher he would
expect and accept quite perfunc-
torily the sympathy of his col
leagues. Only to himself would
lie admit a weakness and to him-
self he would probably administer
in secret a severe mental kicking.
It's tiun to pretty-up he yard

tifies his own property is one of

ment .el.ls to t. value of all
