On the edge of the frame she placed

frame. Then out came the other foot
and this she placed on the shelf, and
there she stood looking all around the
playroom. "Where are all my old
friends?" ngaln she asked.
Beautiful French Doll, dressed In
the latest style, replied: "I don't be-
lieve they are here, unless It Is Teddy
Bear. He has been here longer than
any of us."
"Teddy Bear?" the Little Olrl re-
peated. "I never heard of him. It

Something to
Think About
By F. A. WALKER
J.Ne Placed One Little Slippered Foot
on the Frame.
old days, and, Oh, yes, there was a
lear little china doll, with black hair
and blue eyes, named Betty. Oh, I do
wish 1 could find them.
Then all the toys held their breath,
for right off of the big shelf jumped
the Little Girl, landing on the floor on
her feet, safe and sound.
"Oh-oo," gasped all the toys.
"Oh. that is nothing," laughed the
Little Girl, smoothing her flowered
dress. "I have done that before. Tou
can jump from high places and not
be hurt a bit If you know how."
"Oh, what a funny dress you have
on," said the Little Girl to Beautiful
French Doll. "And don't you ever go
to sleep? My wax doll used to shut
her eyes. She was the latest thing In
dolls when I lived here."
"I am the very latest style doll,"
explained French Doll, "and all the
newest ones are like me."
"Well, I'd rather have my Lydlu
doll," replied the Little Girl. "Now, 1
wonder where she can be."
"If you cannot llnd Nina, and Lydla,
and Betty, why don't you play with
us?" asked Beautiful French Doll.
"We never have anyone to slug to us,
and rock us, and play house."
So all the littlest dolls climbed Into
her lap and the big ones sat on the
floor and Teddy Bear and Ba-ha Sheep
and Woolly Dog and Calico Cat and
everyone and everything got as close
as It could to Old-Fashloned Little
Girl and listened.
All at once a ray of daylight peeped
under the curtain and everybody
Jumped. Little Girl ran to the closet
and opened the door. "The step-lad-
der—wliere Is it?" she cried In great
distress, and then she ran to the fire-
place and looked at the empty frame,
but It was no use, she could not get
up there, for mnre daylight came Into
the playroom and ended the magic
power given to those who lived there.
When the little girl who lived In the
house ran Into the playroom that
morning she stopped at the door and
looked. Then she called to her moth-
er, for there on the floor surrounded
by all the toys was Old-Fashloned
Little Girl flat on her face.
"Oh, Great Aunt Abble fell out of
her frame," exclaimed the mother,
picking up the broken glass that cov-
ered the picture. "I must have a new
I glass fitted and the picture put back
In the frame."
That night when the clock struck
twelve all the toys looked at the empty
place on the wall and they all said
they hoped the man that fixed the
frame would not fasten Old-Fashloned
Little Girl in it so firmly that she
could not get out at night when the
magic hour struck.
"For," said French Doll, "I like the
old-fashioned wny of playing better
than the new."
And all the toys said they did, too.

THE FRIENDLY PATH
By WALTER 1. ROBINSON.
THE sun cannot shine con-
stantly. There always will
be some rainy days.
A person who would throw
away his umbrella or his rain-
coat every time the clouds dis-
appeared would be considered a
lunatic.
One meal will not satisfy our
stomachs the remainder of our
lives. We must eat every so
often If we wish to live and
avoid hunger. No one would
think of eating everything he
had if he didn't expect to get an-
other meal within a reasonable
time.
These assertions may seem
but primary lessons on the Im-
portance of vision. Yet many of
mature age could study them
with benefit. Experience already
has taught quite a few that look-
ing ahead Is essential to happi-
ness and comfort.
Wages and Incomes during the
last few years have been higher
than ever before. Luxury buy-
ing and extravagance in pleas-
ure seeking have gone along to-
gether. Many thought they had
struck a "well of gold" that
never would go dry.
But the Inevitable has hap-
pened. Those who demanded ex-
orbitant profits and those who
forced high wages and who, In
both instances, spent as fast as
they received, are beginning to
see the folly of their ways. In
many cases the fruit has an ex-
tremely bitter taste.
A little vision In the beginning
would have prevented cries of
distress. Some may find It too
late to benefit from their lesson
since they are sliding down the
precipice. These will have many
difficulties In climbing back over
the jagged rocks.
Few there are who cannot
still make a start in the road of
thrift and fairness which Is the
sure way to prepare If "rainy
days" should come.

BUILDING AND LOAN TALK
Thirty-five milion dollars in Building and Loan
Associations in Oklahoma. According to the State
Banking Department, not one cent has been lost to in-
vestors in the history of the state.
Carroll D. Wright, former United States Commis-
sioner of Labor, very pertinently says, "No means of
investment touches all the relations—commercial, in-
dustrial and sanitary—of the wage earner to so great an
extent as the Building and Loan Associations."
Why not let your money work for you. I will ex-
plain it to you and unless it looks reasonable, you are
under no obligations to invest.

ment plan provides for constructive

CITIZEN'S NATIONAL BANK CLUB
COME IN AND LET US EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU.
WE PAY 4 PER CENT INTEREST
MAKING FRIENDS.
IF YOU would be happy make oth-
ers happy. Don't neglect to do a
kindness when an opportunity
cornea to you.
It matters not where you may be,
whether on your own threshold or be-
neath the sky of a foreign land, ever
remember that by being friendly you
•re making some soul happier, light-
ening a hidden burden, doing your bit
to brighten the world, and in doing It
becoming healthier and sweeter your-
•elf.
• • • •
Of all felicities friendship Is the
most charming.
It eases cares, dispels sorrows and
makes for salvation of souls.
It becomes an inspiration to you
when the days are dark—a divine Joy
that all the wealth of the world can-
not buy.
There are people everywhere whose
hearts are hungry for appreciation
and sympathy. Help them through the
mazes where naught but briars grow.
Strew o'er their rugged way the flow-
era of friendship and clasp them by
the hand.
Pour sunshine Into their hearts and
•ee the new light that comes into their
dull eyes and the smile that plays
about their Hps.
Some writer has said that "pure
friendship la something which men of
an Inferior nature can never taste."
* « • •
Euripides tells us, "It Is a good
thing to be rich, and a good thing to
be itrong, but It is a better thing to
be beloved of many friends."
It Is by friendship that we must
•trlve to battle for truth and right-
eousness. AU departures from friend-
liness takes to coldness and strife.
Consider what the world would be If
all the nations of earth were friendly I
It was through friendship that the
sou In of men were redeemed I
Think what U would mean for the
peace, contentnwot, security and pros-
perity of the people, if they dwelled
In amity, unconcerned about wur, en
Joying quiet homes with their loved
ones, with never a doubt about their
neighbors and never a thought of the
Jealousies or the evil ambitions of the
countries beyond the seal
• • • •
Neither the rich nor the poor, nor
the high nor the low can partake of
the full blessings of life without
friendship. We cannot get the best
within the world without giving the
beat within us.
And this excellent thing, this divine
essence that exalts men and women,
takes them to the very gates of heaven
and stirs the fountain of good within
their souls, Is nothing more or less
than simple friendship.

Great Loom-end
Sale At
Fryberger's
Beginning Thursday, Jan. 5, 1922
On Thursday, January 5th we open our regular Semi-Annual Clearance on regular merchandise and a
bie shipment of Loom Ends. The offering this year is extraordinary, in that we advertise a Closing « ut
at Sale Prices on our entire Rtady to-Wear Department. When I purchased the present home of the try
berger store it was in my mind to make it a community store proposition. Having sold my Shoe depart-
ment to Mr. Fred Hampton, who is making a wonderful success in serving the public and having sold
the Millinery department to Mrs. Mary Johnson, who is giving the public her skill and service with the
best of success, I feel justified in closing out my Ladies' Ready-to-Wear department, having arranged
to rent the space, to take effect March 1 st. I am doing this because of my desire to gradually retire from
active merchandising. I love the game, but at my age I realize that it must be, as it isimposible for me to
continue under the stress and worry, incident to a successful business. So then, this sale is to be a very
important one to us all and when you read the wonderful prices made on our Closing Out department,
you will realize that I mean just what I say about it. The mills have furnished me a number of very de-
sirable articles, all of which will interest you greatly.
