monetary success. This lease is the
first to be granted by the company and
is one of the most advantageously To-
Gated in the east end of the pay belt.
Hitherto it had been the policy Of the
Granny management not to lease any
portion of its acreage and since the rule
was broken many applications for leases
have been received. Thus far no further
blocks have been thrown open. and it is
not known here whether or no President
Hirschler will consider further lessee
applications. Should he care to do so

court every one of the twelve men was
satisfied what his verdict would be, but
each thought it would be better to read over
the papers in the case before returning the
verdict. 1t was feared by some of the

NEEDED FOR MATRIMoNY.
Colleges Of Courtship Essential to Re-
form in Love Making.

CHICAGO, March 7.-Colleges Of court
ship for the reform Of American love-mak
ing are needed to fit the lovelorn population
of the nation for matrimony, according to
Prof. Charles E. Henderson, the University
of Chicago sociologist. In an article on
"Courtship in the current Biblical World,
issued from the university press yesterday,
the professor urges expert instruction for
those who are smitten with the illusions of
love.
Hasty marriages, divorce and marriages
of convenience are classed as results of
the "barbarism'' into which courtship and
marriage have fallen. He gives as ex-
amples of the decline in true love where
the wife Is bought from the parent like q
COW, or where girl Is compelled to marry
to secure a fortune from a rich fool"
Fashionable society exhibits depraved
standards, and alimony is accepted as a
substitute for rational marriages, he de-
clares.
Prof. Henderson points out as particular
evils Of modern lovemaking such periIs as
flirting, boasting of conquests, extraya-
gance, accepting costly presents, Ignorance
of the training of children and courtship
without intent to marry.
