Alva McDonald was in Guthrie
Tuesday morning and was sworn
in by District Clerk A. C. Dolde
as United States Marshal for
the Western District of Oklahoma.
He also received his commission !
from Judge John Cotteral, the proc- |
ess at Washington being to trans-
mit the same through the hands
of Federal Judge of tlie district.
The new U. S. Marshal has five
deputies to appoint for the district.
There are several candidates for the i
local deputy, among them being Amos !
Ewing, A1 Goff, the present deputy,
City Commissioner Win. Mitchel.
Humor has it that Amos Ewing re-
ceived the appointment, but Mr. Mc-
Donald would not commit himself to
that effect, and stated that he had
not yet fully made up his mind.
Alva McDonald has been in Okla-
homa politics ever since he came to
the territory as a Kentucky Repub-
lican. He was a Hough Rider, and
during Roosevelt's life was an ever
faithful friend of the President no
matter at what personal loss of pol-
itical fortune to himself He fol-
lowed him into the Progressive camp
both in 1912 and 1914}, and out again
in the famous convention in Chicago,
when Roosevelt refused the Bull
Moose nomination. In the national

It is conceded in all quarters that

THE ONE WAY TO SUCCEED
IS TO BE SUCCESSFUL
Sounds ridiculous but it's true. Unless you can
practice the principles of success in a small way
—you never can in big ways.
Successful men invariably are thrifty and say-
ing. Many of them started in business with a
few hundred dollars saved from small salaries.
This bank welcomes the man who is trying to
get ahead.

New York, July 24.—There is $1,-
500,000,000 worth of gold in a build-
ing on Wall street.
The building is the United States
Assay Office, adjoining the Sub-
treasury.
Its barred doors stand open during
business hours and women who
seareh the newspapers for shops
where gingham is sold at a saving
of 3 cents a yard; men who turn
their shirt cuffs to save laundry
charges, walk by heedlessly. Other
men who call themselves wealthy,
yet own not a thousandth of
, wealth in these vaults, pass without
a glance.
! 'There are approximately 250 tons
of pure gold piled in bars and ranged
sacks of coin in these valuta.
This is by far the greatest amount
of gold eve
or one city
It is about one-fifth of the world's
supply of that metal.
I It is prabably a tenth of all the
gold that men have won from the
earth since Homer sang.
| It is more gold than all that ever
i was panned in Nome, more than men
| brought out of the Yukon, more than
the Comstock lode or Golconda pro-
duced
! The wealth of Midas, of Solomon,
of the Queen of Sheba was that of a
i thrifty clerk by comparison.
j This horde of gold increases by
many millions every week. Almost
every trans-Atlantic liner brings
I more of it and no one knows when
I the flood will recede.

Corn ranked 3rd in money value

corn than Oklahoma in 1920.
Oklahoma ranks second iu the pro-

in the average yield per acre. Pro-

40,430,000 bushels.

Comparing the average volue per

statistics show that cheaper farm
lands may be obtained iu Oklahoma
than iu any other state in the Union.
Oklahoma ranks well among the
leaders in the number of pure bred
livestock on farms. The total of
livestock has decreased on farms but
the number of graded stock Is rap-
idly increasing.
You will wonder why in a year or
two that you did not buy some good
cows while they were cheap and
start in the cattle business. Every
man with grass and feed should own
some cattle.

C. McCOY.
Building and Loan Auditor
of the Si ite of Oklahoma.
To the Stockholders of the Employees
Building and I/oan Association:
The Directors of the Association regret very much to an-
nounce to you the death of Mr. Charles Seely, who has been
Secretary of the Association since its organization.
Since Mr. Seely's death we have had the Building and Loan
Auditor from the Banking Department go over the books and
accounts, and we are pleased to present herewith a copy of the
report made by the Building and Loan Auditor, which shows the
healthy condition of the Association. Every penny has been
accounted for and all of the securities are intact, and the associa-
tion is in the best of condition.
Mr. F. L. Williams has been elected temporary Secretary
who will conduct the business until such time as the Directors are
able to determine upon a Secretary who can fill the office as
faithfully, honestly and uprightly as our Mr. Seely has done.
His death is a great loss to us, but the association will go right
ahead and conduct its business in the same manner that it has
heretofore.
Yours respectfully,
CI. A. HUGHES, President.
S. L. SPURRIER, Director.
F. L. WILLIAMS, Director.
GEORGE M. GREEN, Director.
They express high hopes that the
September meeting of the league will
relive them of German control, which
natives of Heligoland born under the
'British flag declare to he highly of-
fensive and in violation of many of
the ternm of the agreement under
which England ceded the island to
Germany in 1890 in exchange for
Zanzibar.
A committee of sixty-two residents
of Heligoland, comprising representa-
tive of various organizations of the
island, visited Berlin and conferred
with the allied disarmament com-
mittee in an effort to correct what
they declared to be the great error
of the allies in leaving Heligoland
to Germapy under the Versailles
treaty.
Recently the natives of Helgoland
were much encouraged by the report
of Chief Engineer Savers of Brit-
ish admiralty, who after investigating
the destruction of the fortifications
of Heligoland, now in progress was
alleged to have declared that the is-
land, even after being dismanteled
should be taken from Germany tc
prevent its possible refortification
for use as a submarine and air-
plane base.
The destruction of the fort and n
val harbor of Heligoland is progress-
ing under the direction of allied of-
ficers, but two years more will be
required for the complete destruction
of the fortifications and improve-
ments upon which Germany expended
50,000,000 gold marks. Germans
working on the dismantlement were
sent from the Mainland, and the is
landers say the German officials are
endeavoring to colonize so as to out-
vote the native population. The
native Hellgolanders, however, hold

island council.
The civilians of Heligoland were
all deported to Hamburg during the
war and were given papers showing
them to be of English birth. They

To Discover
In The Good
Printer's Sky
The ambiton to create each job
just a little better is the spur that
inspires the good printer.
Just as in music there is one ex-
pressive theme for every mood, so in
printing, there is a type face for every
form of thought.
The selection of that face, the
beauty and effectiveness of its ar-
rangement, the choice of paper—the
style appeal of the entire composition,
blended into a compact, convincing
argument, is the ideal of the good
printer.
A telephone call will bring a rep-
resentative to your desk, if in the
city, if out of town a postal card will
receive a prompt and courteous reply.
