For then he's kinder tuned with all

When the gray squirrel an the chip.

Accordin' to the way the Lord de.

How 1 like to sit an watch EN- on q

Until I beam with satisfaction hard

As they blend in tints the rainbow

But he knows he's felt OIL natur'a

While the cabin in the valley seems

DR.. HARDMAN WRITES HOMF
ABOUT HIS TRIP IN THE WEST
in Oklahoma, He Vivid
lyDescribes ThatSe
ton Of Country.
[By Dr.. s. N. Hardman.l

When I left home thought /
would surely be back before this date,
but am not yet ready to start for
home, as have a little time now my
thoughts naturally go back to the
home, 80 am writing to you in or
der that all my friends may hear
from Oklahoma, as 1 am sure that
many of them are interested.
have not been very extensively
over the state but from all that / can
see and learn 1t is state wonder
fully rich in agricultural possibilities,
the location is such that they pro-
duce almost every crop grown in the
United States and they all yield ex-
ceptionally well. Practical farmers
who have recently come in 9'om the
older states tell me that all this
country needs to make 1t the richest
farming section in the country is
more carefully handling the land,
crops and machinery than has been
followed by the pioneers, and these
people are coming in very rapidly and
buying up the good farms and i'm
proving them so that they look like
prosperous homes.
Just northeast OF here short dis
lance i9the oil and gas field of Okla
homa, and from what have seen
and heard fortunes are being made
there every day. They claim to have
the largest oil and gas. field in the
world. and after seeing as much as ]
have ! am not prepared to deny any
thing. Oklahoma City is supplied
with natural gas from this field and
some Of the oil is being refined here.
This oil and gas development has only
been going on few years and new
territory is being brought in every
few days. Several drills are at work
or getting ready for work near here,
and 1t is generally believed they will
find oil and gas since 1t has been
found on both sides Of the city. Some
drilling has been done close to this
city before this, but understand the
formation is difficult one for drill
lefs and they have not been able to
reach any great depth.
Then east of here about 100 miles
is the coal field. They claim, 1t to be
the largest outside OF Pennsylvania
and West Virginia. and I suppose
they are right again There are
dozens OF mining towns over there
and they all seem to be doing great
business. Men who are familiar with
the field say that only very small
portion of the coal territory has been
opened as yet.
Just south of this city short dis
lance is great deposit of asphalt,
the largest in the United States,
which is just now being developed in
small way. 1t is In what was for
merly the Indian Territory and the
United States government has had
some kind Of restrictions on the
Indians property so that 1t could not
be developed. understand these re-
strictions are about all of now so
that capital can get in there and de-
yelop that section. The restrictions
have recently been taken OF of about
10000. 900 acres of fine farming
land In thesIndian country and farm
ers are fiocking to that country and
buying the farming land and making
homes OF 1t.

Mr.. Stout has applied for copy
right and also for patent for the

sent advance matter concerning the
new publication to referees through
out the country and large number

The volume Is valuable not only to
referees in bankruptcy hut also to
practitioners in bankruptcy as they
can keep their cases digested and re-

BY means of 1t. it would seem to
me that any referee in bankruptcy. in

of the many inquiries that come to
him, touching the details involved In
the bankruptcy proceedings pending

that the details of bankruptcy before

dlgested and recorded than by this

You are at liberty to say that re-
gard this work as the best time saver
that could be devised. and 1 hope 1t
