OIL MEMS PROPOSAL
IS TURNED DAWN
SCHEME TO CURTAll INDIAN
LAND PRODUCTION WOULD
COST LESSONS RENTAL OF 81.

Washington. oct. 5.-The oil men
operating under leases with the In
dams through the Interior department
at their conference today presented
to the department a scheme Of curtail-
ing production whereby it was hoped
that the price of oil might be forced
up to 75c barrel.
incidentally the plan would relieve
the oil men of considerable expense
and would not hurt anybody but the
Indian who would be deprived Of his
rental of 81 per acre which the opera-
tors must pay for land on which no
drilling operations are conducted.
The proposal of the oil men vas
that they be released Of the rental pro
vision in the regulations until the
price Of oil reached 75c per barrel
Acting Secretary Adams declined to
accede TO the suggestion Of the OF
men. and the department also an
nounces that no steps will be taken
looking to the leasing of the balance
of the Usage oil lands. agsregatins
about 100000 acres, until the recon-
mendations of the Usage council
which is now in session are received.

NO CHOCTAW
FOREST GRAB
GOVERNMENT WILL SELL INDIAN
TIMBER LAND IN SMALL
TRACTS.

Washington, oct. J.-Residents III
the big forest reserve in the eastern
end of the Choctaw nation in Okla
homa who fear that the government
is going 10 dispose OF the land in
manner which will give big umoer
companies monopolistic control oI
the 1,s70,OOO acres, need not be
alarmed. according to officials OF the
interior department.
These lands never have been aliot'
tel and. therefore, must be sod By
the government for the benefit OF tho
Indians Last summer the land was
appraised by special agents of the
interior department aud since the ap
praisement officials Of that depart
ment have been at work on rules
and regulations for the sale which
will he submitted to Secretary Fish
er upon his return to Washington
The department officials say that
in the sale of the lands they propos'
to prevent any control Of The proper
ty bv the lumber trust, the railroads
or any other purchaser, likely to eN
ercise a monopolistc control over
them. With this end in view the reg
ulations will be so stringent as TO
SAFEGUARD the interests Of prospective
settlers and the pub.c.
Instead OF offering the lands in
three or four blocks" as feared by
persons living near he forest, the
land will be advertised IN small
tracts. In fact, Secretary Fisher is
determined to DISPOSE OF the Indian
holdings under a system that will be
entirely IN consonance with his often
expressed views regarding the dispc'
sition Of the country's natural re-
sources for the benefit OF all the
people.

EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

1t was at an afternoon tea.
.'Who is that distinguished looking
woman over there?" I heard a strang-
er say.
why. that's Mrs. r. was the ans
wer.
Now Mrs. r. is one of my closest
neighbors, and I turned with inter-
est to look at her through the eyes
of a stranger who saw her as distln-
guished looking.
And although 1 had lived too close
ly to her to quite realize that BEFORE
l admitted it now. Yes, she was rather
distinguished looking. In the group
of women who chatted over their at
ternoon tea cups one would have un-
doubtedly noticed her among the first.
But why?
I studied her for some moments
before 1 answered my own question
and then made this decision: Chiefly
because in that gathering of marcel
waves and puffs and rats and coronet
braids, Mrs. RS soft hair was parted
and done very simply. She. has an
excellently shaped head and this sim
plicity showed off its fine contour ad-
mirabIy.
If you looked at the group of five
of which she was one, I'm sure you
would have seen her first, just be-
cause she had distinguished herself in
this way.
She made me think somehow Of
one of those beautiful old houses set
far back from the street in stately
simplicity, that occasionally delight
the eye that is awearied of the Haunt
ing showiness of its much more expen-
sive neighbors.
Now, the greatest desire of woman
kind is to be noticed-there's no blink
ing it, no CLOSING it. Acknowledged
or unacknowledged, conscious or
deeply subconscious that is the pur
pose of all the silks and laces and
musical training and high heefed
pumps and gossamer stockings and
knowledge OF French and German,
and puffs and jewels and artistic
erudition with which we bedeck our
minds and bodies-to win other men
and women's notice.
And here is this woman winning at
tention in the simplest manner pos
SHELBY being natural when all the
rest of the world elects to be artificial.
Isn't she clever?
And isn't she worth initiating?
Quickly, OF course, before the rank
and file grows tired of artificiality
and decides to affect simplicity again.
and simplicity consequently ceases to
be distinction.
such a move is likely to be made soon,
so if you like my suggestion and de-
eide you would like to find some sim
pie. gracious becoming method of
wearing your hair, and thus easily
winning the title of distinguished
looking, now is your time. You'd bet
ter not wait a day, but pull off those
puffs and rats this very day and try it.
