The we'll Is down 500 feet.
There seems to be something
that has stopped the marking up OF
prices. Col. Dick Jennings and his
astute brother for a time were CIV
Ing the STANDARD lessons In market
making, but the Standard by ad-
vanclng crude prices eight cents
per barrel and leaving the export

IDENTITY put spoke In the wheel of
the brothers Jennings price factory.
The independent re6ners are said
to be in desperate straits for Grade
supply and some of them are to be
shut down. While there Is no
cheering by those who are viewing
the fight from the hilltops still
there Is no great amount of sympa-
thy for the independent re6uers.

conditions prevail
The policy of Col. Dick, his more
astute brother, or the independent
re6uer Is the same as that of the
Standard. all making mark of the
producer that their own greed may
be satisfied.
The name of the producer Is al
ways "E Z Marx" but the time Is
coming when even the humblest of
Dan O'Day's bumpers may put on
celluloid collars and meet the ra-
paclous re6ner on equal footing.
The rapacious refuer must now
come to the producer for favors.
Simply because the pipe line of
Col. Dick and his astute brother
Is In need of crude Is not sufficient
reason for producers to throw them
life preservers by turning their
crude over to them nor can 1t be
said that the Standard Oh Com
pany ever intends to deal fairly or
give the producers that portion
of the profits of the industry to
which they are justly en-
titled. If the Standard Oh
Company by les numerous de.
vious ways can crush Its rival or
by the purchase reproducing prop
critics along Its rivals pipe line
system, cuftail Its production so
that control ofthe small percentage
of independent refined markets
shall pass into Standard control

The people of the rural sections
of the county are getting reduced
to straits because of a scarcity of
adams ale" In dearly every
part of Tyler county comes the de
sire for an abundant rain. Perhaps
not for many years has there been
a more universal desire that springs
and streams may be revived. For
several weeks many farmers have
been driving their cattle and sheep
long distances to water each day.
Many have been obliged to haul
water from never falling springs
for domestic purposes, and from
present appearances the end Is not
yet.

The Grol:er Club of New York con-
times it's exhibition of the one hundred
famous books. At the recent monthly
meeting Mr.. Hamilton Wright Mapie
gave a talk about them. He said that
his sensations on receiving an invita-
tion from the club to make an address
on the subject of the exhibit recalled
to him the probable emotions of Napo-
Icons soldiers in Egypt when they We're
told to remember that thirty centuries
looked down upon them. He reflected,
in the midst of the hundred books, from
"The Canterbury Tales" to Snow
Bound" that all of English literature
was looking down upon him In more
senses than one. In the course OF his
remarks he pointed out that the two
fold character of English thought-the
mixture of the Celtic dreamer ana John
Bull. pursuer of fact, so often Stun
bling block to foreign critics-was re-
dected in American letters in the au-
thors of Poor Richards Almanack
and the essay on Mature. There
were many moments in literary histo-
nv he thought, at which one might
wish to have been present, listening te
the talk.
