IL Ii Time TO Omit


II II time to quit the grumbling,
Time to take hopeful view,
Time to drop the foolish notion
That the world il all askew;
There are lots Of blessings Jet
That the world il booked to get,
And the good Lord In his mercy's say
Ing some Of them for you
It II time to quit the signing,
Time to look up with 4 smilA
For the good old worlds revolving
In the same Ok teady style;
Wieaed peon- 4 > BY day
Close their eyes and pass away,
And there won't be any left here bur
the righteous, after awhile.
It IL time to quit the fretting
Over trif1es that 60 wrong;
Think Of all the joys you're getting
All the blessings, right along;
Don't sit down disheartened, sad,
Over small rebuns you've had,
Fortune tries our spirits often, just Z
make them good and strong.
1t Is tims to cuff believing
That there's nothing left to do
For the ones who'd be achieving
Every day brings iomething new.
Don't give up the hope to riss,
Fair ahead the future lies,
And to-morrow may b. bringing just
. the nseded chance for yeu.
NE to quit the srisvins

BIG SHOOTING
TOURNAMENT

There is a movement on foot
among the local shooters to hold
one of teh largest shooting tourn-
aments here about the middle of
October ever held in the State.
A handsome program, in book
form, is to be gotten out to be
mailed to the army of trap shoot
ers, and we are assured that the
occasion will see number of the
best shots in the world. 1t is ex-
pected that Fred Gilbert, W. R..
Crosby and j. A. R. Elliott, three
of the most expert shots the world
has ever known, will be present.
The event will in all probability
be pulled off on the shooting
grounds, just this side of the ball
park, and as the tournament will
last for two days all will have an
opportunity to witness the work
of these experts.

The Oil City Derrick has an edi-

The Oil City Derrick mas an edl-
torial over one column long in its
yesterdays issue explaining why
the price of Kansas oil has declin-
ed 25 cents a barrel since the first
day of June. The editor feels
very sorry for the poor Kansas
producer, and between the lines OF
the editorial you can see great
tubs of briny tears that flowed
from Pat Boyle's eyes as the ten
der-hearted man wrote this con-
soling article for the dear Kansas
producer. There is really nothing
to cry about, however, and the ex-
perienced oil producer under
stands the game thoroughly. The
price is down, and it will be kept
down until the Standard Oil COM
pany buys up about all the pro-
ductiOn and leases in the field and
then Kansas oil will take a boom.
The same game was worked here.
This field was opened by indepen-
dent producers, and the Standard
kept the price well down below
the 6O-cent mark until it bought
the majority of the production
when the price of Sistersville oil
suddenly advanced. Lima oil was
worked the same way. At Scio,
O., where there was an opposition
pipe line, the poor Standard held
a Sunday-school convention, and
decided that the Scio oil was so
good and pure it was not only
worth as much as other high
grade oil, but it was so valuable
it commanded a premium, and so
a premium of from Is to 25 cents
a barrel was paid for Scio oil so
long as the opposition line was
working. The same racket was
worked with the Washington oil.
The Standard had an opposition
line up there, and that oil COM
handed premium of 25 cents a
barrel so long as the opposition
line was working, but after the
line was purchased by the Stand
ard that oil was not worth 25
cents per barrel extra. Of course,
to new oil producers in the Kan
sas field the Derrick's touching
and sympathetic article will sound
sweet and very honest, but the old
producer knows what's up.
Standard agents have been work
ing in the Kansas oil field for
some time. Some nice, bright NOR
ming the people will learn that
some oil company has bought up
the bulk of the Kansas production,
later they will discover this COM
pany is the Standard Oil company,
and shortly after the deal is
closed up will 60 the price of oil.
It's a very old game, but works
like a charm.
