Spending Money An Art For Woman
Who Bought Boy Scouts A Mountain
By NEA Servic*
MUSKOGEE, Okla., Oct. 1—"Let
other folks h~ve the fun of posses
sion. I prefer ihe joy’s of buying and
giving.” That is the viewpoint of
Mrs. J. Garfield Buell, of Musko
gee, whose husband Is an oil mil
lionaire.
Writing about someone who has
urcssion is as tantalizing as talking
pression Is as tantaliing as talking
about snow in July. But the Buells
have it. They added another cool
million to their fortune when Mr.
Buell sold his last big holdings
Much has been written about fool
ish, uncontrolled spending of for
tunes made 'n oil. There are other
persons whose heads were not turn
ed, who made wise use of their
money and still have comfortable
livings from those investments.
Indeed Mrs. Buell says she had
to learn to spend money. She had
always thought It was to be saved
or used only for necessities. Now she
spends money as an art.
Has No Vast Estates
Unlike some who are suddenly
made rich by oil, Mrs. Buell has no
desire for a metropolitan town
house. She loved Oklahoma, her
familiar background. So she per
suaded her parents to let her re
model the old farm home, adding
servants quarters and c'ompletly
modernizing It. "The Homestead"
became the year-round residence of
the Buells.
It was her parents who went *o
live in a new home, a fine residence
their daughter built for them at
Santa Monica. Calif.
Another tribute to them and to
other older person* that will be re
membered Is her payment of the
monthly bills for milk and ice at
the Home for the Aged In Musko
gee. Besides this, she sends frequent
food treats to these old people.
But when Mrs. Buell gave a whole
mountain to the Boy Scouts the
ways she spent her money began to
Bring the wife of an Oklahoma oil millionaire, Mrs J. Garfield Buell, pictured at left, can afford her
Uobbv of “buying and giving.'’ At upper right is a rustic Japanese bridge on the Buell estate, and in the
background in Fern Mountain, which she bought and gave to Muskogee Boy Scouts. Below la a a view

ba re ally* exciting! Par years she
had waUthed the boys going past
the old fa rm on hikes, camping trips
or carryir« torts to dig for Indian
relics. The for were always on the way
to Pern Mountain.
Boys hai I a right to full enjoyment
of the outdoors, she reasoned. So
she bought the tract of land that
included I'em Mountain and gave
It to the lV>y Scouts outright.
Other young people found Mrs.
Buell equal fy understanding.
She was Just starting for Europe
when a gro.^p of young friends be
gan to publish a literary magazine,
the Arrowhe«d. Mrs. Buell called In
the editor and contributed part of
the money ttl>e would have spent
abroad. "Youfll have most of your
financial worses at the beginning”
she said. "ThAs is for emergencies
while I am gRie.**
A boy and girl, children of
friends, are attending college at her
expense.
State's History Her Intertwt
Oklahoma's picturesque past Is one
of Mrs. Buell’s !h obbies. It has been
such a short tfuie since the terri
tory achieved stmtehood that Okla
homa's tradition* are actual exper
iences to many pioneers still living.
It is here ambition, by their aid, »o
reconstruct Park Hill, the old town
In the state—"if the money holds
out."
Mrs Buell hast brought back to
Muskogee something of every coun
try she enjoyed, remembering
friends who wouOd have liked It
too. The best way to describe what
you saw, she decLded, was to take
it home.
So she brought Tsome a Japanese
garden!
Japan was the co-tmtry she though
most beautiful. She wished others
who could not go aJaroad might see
it. Also she knew t'*mt one day she
could no longer go there to enjoy
Its beauty. That was why she
brought home a bib of Japan and
set It down on "The Homestead."
