An American lasiYaiort
Did you ever stop to reallzo thnt tho soda
fsuntein is as mucli an American institu
tion as tho paunago is a German Institu
tion, "French Bread" is an Institution In
Franco and the Plum pudding an ISngllsh
institution? And tho tunny part of it all
Is that though ono seldom ecwi a soda
fountain In Europe (and then only for the
eako ot attracting Amorlonn tourist trado)
just an Boon as a foreigner gets to this
country ho too seems to learn to lovo tho
soua louniain.
Dut, If you nro old enough to look back
a lew yoars you win remomnor mat oniy
comparatively recontly has tho soda foun
tain beon cltfior so popular or oo beautiful
and hveienlc.
You nnv remnmbnr what thoan hid fuvlnl
fountains looked like what poor provision
thoy mado to supply ovon their scanty
trndo.
What has wrought this great change
What hns mado tho soda fountain a na
tional Institution a comfort and necessity
In tho dally lives of men and women not
only during tho hot summer tlmo but tho
wholo year 'round.

Tho answer lies In that delicious bovcr
ngo Coca-Cola. Soon after Its Introduc
tion at tho fountains pconlo began to aslc
more and moro for this distinctive drink.
Along with its demand came the de
mand for moro places that would serve It.
Soda fountains sprang up everywhere,
Improving In beauty, neatness and at
tractive service It Is a fact that the part
the soda fountain and all Its allied indus
tries have como to play in the oconomlc
llfo of tho nation today Is duo largely to
tho stimulus given to It by Coca-Colo.
In tho same way has tho call for bottled
beverages grown. In 1899 Coca-Cola in
bottles was first put on the market and
tho samo quick recognition and apprecia
tion was accorded to it in this form $s
x. ..... ...
A Modern Soda Fountain
was bo ovldent In tho fountain trade.
Tho samo principles of purity, goodness
and dellciousncss mado anothor astound
ing record of growth posslblo. Hottllng
plants have been established all over tho
country to tako Caro of this branch.
Just think of It over 90.000,000 glasses
and bottles of Coca-Cola aro drunk every
month. So just as much ns Is tho soda,
fountain a national institution so ia Coca
Cola tho National Beverage
was born, and which the Lincoln
Farm Association has bought, mado
into a national shrlno, was turned
over to the United States Monday,
with a fund of ?100,000 for its
maintenance. In making the short
address of acceptance before tho his
toric site, President Wilson said, in
part: "This little hut was tho cra
dle of one of the great sons of men.
A man of singular vital genius who
emorged upon tho great stage of the
nation's history. He was gaunt and
ungainly, majestic and natural, ruler
of men. Lincoln was not a typical
American, because no man can be
typical who does the unusual."
RL1NY BOND ISSUES VOTED
The tendency to Issue bonds that
Is spreading over Oklahoma has now
grown to a point whero the State of
ficers having to do lth thp approval
of such securities are struggling to
keep abreast of tho work. The Attor
ney General'soff lco has found It
necessary to employ an additional
law clerk in the bond department. An.
interesting feature of the bond issues
that are being made is that most of
them will have to bo funded at tho
expiration of their terms, as no pro
vision is made for amortization at
maturity.
