Teeth of the elephant that once
ranged from the gulf to Canada. and
remains OF the mastadon have been

BIG PROFIT IN HOG MELONS.
The Provender Grows Easily in Dry
Southwestern Counties.

Guymon, Okla, May 9.--The set
tlement of Texas, Beaver and Cim-
arron counties. formerly mo Mans
Land" by industrious and eXperienc-
ed farmers is greatly increasing the
productivity of this region, where
formerly it was believed profitable
farming was impossible, because of
deficient rainfall A farmer near
Cosmos, Texas County, has been eX-
perimenting with nogs and pie mel
ons, which he calls hog" melons
He gives this account of his ex-
pertinent:
Il plowed and planted one acre
to hog melons-43j hills, two vines
to the hills, $40 vines. There were
more than fifty melons to the vine,
making more than hundred melons
90 the hill. One hill had 146 melons,
and the smallest hill 1O9 melons
This gave me about 143,5O0 good mel
ons to the acre, some being two
feet long and some only a foot long,
but they were all good-sweet and
solid all the way through.
Il bought razor back SOW Jan
uary /, 1910, and on March l she
had eight pigs, and in the following
September seven pigs. In December,
1910, / sold ten of these pigs for
$40, and have the SOW and five
pigs left, easily worth $66, making
total of SIG for my hogs. The
sow cost ME SS. and the plowing
and planting of the acre of melons
So, a total expense of $11, giving
me a net profit of $165 on this one
acre Of hog melons. The SOW and her
pigs fed on these melons all the
time except from January until the
melons came in, and the feed used in
that time was paid for out of this
melon patch.
IF / had known how to care for
the melons | could have had melons
all winter; l have since learned
that if l had put the melons in a
pit and covered them with straw or
hay and then dirt, they would have

plenty of green feed for my hogs
and horses. AS it was, | left hundreds

GREAT INCREASE
IN OIL PRODUCTION
MONTH OF APRIL WAS GREATEST
IN HISTORY OF OKLAHOMA OIL
AND GAS FIELDS.

Tulsa, Okla, May S.-Greater prog
ress was made in the oil and gas de-
velopment in Oklahoma during the
month of April than in any single
Continent field. No great rush was
made to any particular field by the
opening of a new pool. but the general
increase all over the oil belt was un
precedented.
The total number of wells drilled
in the Mid-Continent fields, composed
of Oklahoma and Kansas, in April
was $50, of which number nearly 500
were drilled in Oklahoma. The diff
ference in the number of producing
wells and the daily production in the
two states shows the contrast between
Oklahoma and Kansas oil fields and
the continued shrinkage of the indus
try in the northern state.
In Oklahoma 474 wells were drilled,
of which 72 were gas wells, 81 were
dry holes and 391 were producing oil
wells with a daily production of 49,
522 barrels The Kansas drilling was
as follows: Fifty six wells were drill
ed, 16 of which were producers OF
oil, 2S were gas wells and 12 were
dry holes. The Kansas daily produc-
ton was only increased 400 barrels.
The largest number of wells were
drilled in the shallow field near Della
ware, and it is predicted that a few
months continued development will
connect this field with the famous
Hogshooter district of Bartlesville.
Much important work was done, and
many big wells were brought in in
the Usage nation field
Work is continuing with renewed
interest this month, following the 2
cent increase in the price of crude
oil, and oil men predict better times
in the Mid-Continent field this sum
nfer than for the past three years.

Madame Recamier. Was Famous in

And Madame de Stael was famous for

bered than famous beauties and IA

Cooking is a problem to be worked
out by the formula: nine parts discre-
tion and one part skill. The skill may
be acquired by practice and the dis
creton may be acquired by proper
training. Discretion in cookery means
knowledge of what to use as well as
how to use it. No woman can make
a great success as a cook unless she

feet below the surface of the sur
rounding region. Above the bones are
successive layers of sandstone and

feet and to the depth Of six feet. The

mented gravel The different strata
seemed to contain the bones of dif.

was filled with long sharp teeth
like those of a shark. The jaw had
no articulation joint, but spread lat
orally in a fan shape. Mr.. Sears is
confident that tons of bones may
be dug from the canyon wall. He
has abandoned his exploration, lest

Following a precedent set in many
of the other states in paying tribute
to motherhood and mother love,

To honor the memory of departed
mothers and enrich the ever en-
nobling lives of those who are liv-
ing, an international Honor Day"
has been designated in the civilized
nations of the world. The genera
object OF Mothers Day is a stimuli
taneous observance of the love and
gratitude men. women, children and
nations owe their good mothers. The
special object is to honor and uplift
motherhood and to give happiness
to the best mother that ever lived
your mother.
Through loyalty to this benefiCent
institution in behalf of the tender
love and devotion our people should
impart to the spirit of motherhood;
and in commentator OF the great
movement designed to enhance the
quality of the relationship ties that
bind, father, mother sister and
brother, / recommend proper and
fitting observance throughout the
state of May 14th. 1911, the day
set apart as Mothers Day and
trust that on that day every citizen

1t may be taken for granted that
there is no family of any size that
goes very long without needing lax
ative. If you don't know of a good
laxative, or the laxative you are using
is losing its effect, we want to call
your attention to DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of families
are using successfully.
We have scores of letters from moth
ers, and scores from prominent men
saying they are using 1t personally and
giving 1t to their families. men like Mr..
c. X. Smith of the Traffic Clearing
House. Pine Bluff, Ark. and Mr.. George
B. Turner, lawyer Of Harlan, Ky. The
thousands of mothers who use IL them
selves and give it to their children
would take too much space to mention.
The reason they prefer Syrup Pepsin
is that ii is a mild. gentle laxative
tonic that does not gripe-effective and
yet so mild that babies can take it. Its
tonic ingredients invigorate the body
and strengthen the stomach and bow
el muscles so that they again do their
work naturally. If you have been a
victim of salts, pills and strong cathar-
tics you will discard them when you
once use Syrup Pepsin.
You can buy a fifty cent or one dol
lar bottle of any druggist, but before
doing so you may want to try 1t free.
If %, send your address to Dr. Cald-
well and he will promptly forward a
free sample bottle. Then. being con-

exercised all that eternal vigilance and
ingenuity that has since made the people
OF Kansas famous as a race Of politicians.
The bum hotels of Horace could not
be offered as an objection to her hav-
ing the division point as Tribune didn't
have any hotel at all, and didn't expect
to ever have one. 1t wouldn't do to roar
about the climate of Horace as Tribune
was enjoying the same great blessing
along that line.
There were no steep grades at the
end Of the yards" at Horace as that part
of Western Kansas is as level as John L.
Sullivan has alway. claimed to be.
There was but one hope for Tribune,
and that was that Horace couldn' supply
the water for the Missouri Pacific engines
and shops.
This hope seemed to he well founded.
Horace didn't have water enough on
hand at any one time to do good sized
family's washing but no citizen Of the
town would ever admit it. To have done
SO would have meant business ruin and
social ostracism.
But nevertheless the fact had to be
met, and somsthing had 10 he dane.
There was ravine near the town, and
to this the people looked for salvation.
The town knew it had to make good in
order to hold its newly acquired railroad
1.
some money saved up and who also had
SONG property in Horace that needed
something to boost it along to the point
that it could be "peddled" to some east
erner, was induced to put in q water
works down in the ravine. A well was
sunk, and to the great joy of Horace and
corresponding anguish of Tribune a sup
ply OF water was struck that promised
to meet the demands of the railroad COM
pany.
But resourceful Tribune did not despair.
Having been taught at their mothers
knee that there are more ways to kill q
dog than choking him with butter, the
citizens met in mass meeting to deter
mine what scheme would be tried next.
Finally daring plan was suggested.
Why not buy the waterworks system
of the owner, and take it awav from
Horace-buy the we'll, and the pump and
the boiler and all the fixtures! Let the
bill of sale include the whole ravine, or
all of that part Of it that looked like it
might be secreting a water supply!
The money was raised at that mass
meeting. And some idea of the enthusi-
asm at that meeting may be Sained by re-
calling the fact that in those days in
Western Kansas money was one OF the
ten things the people didn't have. They
had land, and they had faith, and they
had brotherly love-toward all but the
