Farmers Reap Benefit

Prague.-During the past two weeks
the farmers in this vicinity have been
paid $4,000 for oil leases and the
leases are still being made. Derricks
are beginning to dot the fields in this
section and a great field is likely to
be developed. Prague will be in the
center of the field that is being devel-
oped here, for the leases are all
around it. New material is arriving
every day and in test wells that have
reached the Wheeler sand there is a
good showing for oil.

Some Cookery Hints.

The best way to warm up a joint
is to wrap 1t in thickly creased pa
per and keep 1t covered while in the
oven. BY having 1t covered the
steam will prevent tie meat from be-
coming hard and dry.
To hurry the cooking process OF any
thing cooked in a double boiler add
salt to the water IN the outer boiler.

he ordered some fish. On finishing
the meal he inquired its price, and
on being told, complained of its being
SO dreadfully dear.

can get fish for little or nothing"
Pat, who had been standing by lis
tening to the argument between the
waiter and the Englishman, came up
to him and said:
We'll, it's cheaper in Ireland than
ever 1t was in England. Sure. the
people here are cleaning their win
dows with whiting, it's that cheap"

AND THEN OUT OF PURE GRAFT
TCDE THE BIG FISH Is SERVED
UP FOR CAMPERS MEAL.

BAKER, Ore, Sept. ia few
days ago one of the Oxbow crew be-
came obsessed with a desire to do
something different. In preparation
for the stunt he had decided on pull
ing off he made sundry visits to
thirst emporium. AS a result of these
visits he became highly enthusiastic
regarding his ability to do big things
for the admiration of his fellow work
men, and in the supreme height of his
newly acquired optimism he trudged
a couple of miles up the river where
he knew some ranchers were fishing.
The ranchers had caught several stur-
geon and among them one of great
size which they had just taken from
the water The enthusiastic Oxbow
worker Immediately bought this big
fish. He then constructed a sort of
three-cornered raft by means of three
rails which he securely tied together
