Not long ago two young men, who
had saved some money out of their
wages, embarked in a small manufac-
turing business themselves, sayf
Chairman Davies oi the Federal
Trade Commission. They found dif-
ficulty in procuring certain raw ma-
terials as advantageously as their
former employer could. The party
furnishing the raw materials, they
said, had an understanding with their j
former employer. This, they claimed,
was unfair competition.
They filed complaint with the Fed-
eral Trade Commission. After inves-
tigation it was ascertained that the
reasons assigned for refusing to fur-
nish the raw materials were that the
young men did not have credit or
cash to buy. When this fact was
made clear, the young men arranged .
to pay cash. Thereupon the party
complained against agreed not to dis-
criminate against them further in any
way but to furnish them raw mate-,;
terials on an equal basis with their
competitors. There was no formal
hearing, no long-drawn out litigation;
the young concern could not have
stood it. The whole matter was ad-
justed within a few weeks and the
small industry afforded a chance, on
an even footing, to work out its sal-
vation.

To Save
While you are teaching him
that 12 and $2 make *4 are
you also instructing him in the
real value of a dollar.
Habits early formed have
the most lasting effect.
Start the child out with a
savings account ami encourage
him to form the habit of sav-
ing nickels and dimes.
We will be glad to have him
make his own deposits and be-
come familiar with us and our
methods.
You will not be sorry and he
will thank you later.
We welcome the small de-
positor and consider it good
business policy to give him the
same attention and encourage-
ment as the larger one.

The
The
Vrse corporation was not haled into
court ;there was no publicity, no in-
terference with the normal course of
business, and the whole matter was
disposed of speedily and satisfac-
torily.
TheBe are typical cases illustrating
the daily, routine work of the Fed-
eral Trade Commission. The proced-
ure is purposely made as simple as
possible. The relief is speedy. Red-
tape is cut out and results obtained
by short cuts; hearings are held in-
formally; complainants and those
same table with the commissioners
The satisfactory part Is that the
spirit of the commission has been ac-
cepted by business to be a spirit of
accommodation and helpfulness. The
good faith of the commission has
been accepted; and the business in-
terests which we have come into con-
tact with have been open and fair In
their desire to accommodate them-
selves to the law. For years busi-
ness and its relation to government
has been the object of criticism and
attack. That period has largely
passe^. The constructive era has
come.

The same district produces immense,
quantities of high grade coal for do-

From this exposition It will be

world with plaster for more than a
hundred years. It also is not gener-
ally known that its natural gas and j
almost limitless beds of the finest
glass sand have in the last decade
made this state the center of the
glass industry of, the entire country.
Oklahoma also is forging rapidly to
the front in the production of lead
and zinc, and this is drawing to the
state many industries that are de-
pendent upon the refineries asso-
ciated with the production of those
minerals. In this connection, it is an-
nounced that the I)u Pont Powder
Company has just leased for a term
of sixty-five years 600 acres of In-
dian lands Just north of Kusa and Is
arranging for the construction of a
large munitions plant thereon. The
zinc mills in that district are turning

In this effort much depends on fresh

food. The patient should refrain from
work that overtaxes, and all sanitary
precautions should be taken. ThtM

What Do You Know
About The Maxwell Car?
M
This is the time of the year when more
people are considering the question of
"what car to buy" than at any other time
of the year.
This community has its full share of people
who will soon be driving their first car or a new
car to replace the old one.
Now, we know that we are going to sell Max-
well Cars to a great many of these people—de-
pending upon how many we are able to acquaint
with the merits of the Maxwell.
The generous value offered in the car is so
evident—its past record is so full of good perform-
ance—owners speak so well of it—that when the
buj 'er knows these things, he is eager to buy a
Maxwell.
In order to tell as many people as possible
abrut the merits of the Maxwell Car we are going
to spend a lot of money in the next few weeks in
this paper advertising Maxwell merits to those
who do not know them.
The reason—we want to sell as many Max-
wells as possible this season. Our future allot-
ments will depend upon how many Maxwells we
sell now. .
You may know that the Maxwell market is *
buyer's market, not a seller's market—broadly
speaking. The demand for Maxwells the country
over is greater than the supply.
For this reason cars are allotted to dealers by
the factory according to the size of the dealer'3
business.
We want to make a showing and be in a posi-
tion to get a generous allotment of Maxwells
hereafter. Because the more Maxwells are sold in
any community, the greater is the future demand.
We realize the opportunity to do an ever-increasing
Maxwell business.
This is only the first of the several messages
we are going to print—a few days apart—concern-
ing the Maxwell Car. But we don't expect to be
able to adequately present Maxwell merits in
printed words alone.
If you are one who is going to buy a new car
you will find it decidedly to your advantage to
find out all you can about the Maxwell before you
place your order.
Come in and talk it over with us and let us
demonstrate the car to you. Then, don't take our
word alone, but ask those who now own Maxwells.
Get "posted" about the Maxwell and you will
realize more satisfaction and get more "value re-
ceived" for your motor car money than' ever
before.
And we are just as willing to have you investi-
gate other cars just as fully as you do ours. The
Maxwell will not suffer by the comparison.
Why not start your Maxwell investigation
today?
