Chanute, Kan, April 22.-The oil
fever is no respecter of sex. 1t is as

Women not only back oil propositions

them are plungers. 1t is common
sight to see a woman hanging around
rig, watching the drillerS work. She
is not there simply for the fun of it.
She is financially interested. Women
as well as men have found that it
pays to be around when a contractor
is drilling a well. And in turn the
contractor finds it advantageous to be
on the ground and watch his men
perform Things always seem to go
smoother when the operator and the
contractor are both on the ground
There are fewer accidents and work
progresses more satisfactorily. In
most cases the women who are inter

of oil men. They absorb the spirit
One woman at Chanute, Mrs. S. C.
Isett, wife of a big operator has a
monthly income of over $500 from her
own wells. other women also have
good incomes, but perhaps Mrs. Isett's
is the largest. Mrs. NJ. $. Walker is
the financial hacker of the Walker Oil
company.
It has become quite a social event
among the women in the oil field to
witness the shooting of a well. When
a we'll is to be shot the operator pass

and several carriages filled with wom-
en- are on the ground to see the thing
done. One or two women have been
courageous enough to fire the shot.
