"WICEN' POOI.-The Tammany
oil companys test on the Susie White,
in the northwest of the southeast of
35, 1913. is due in the sand today
If It makes well 1t will extend the
field half mile south and mean the
further south. Undoubtedly, it looks
like sure thing, since 1t is directly
in line with the Wicey and Annex big
ones; but the failure OF the Mogul well
west of the Wiccy to get the sand. and
the break IN formations between the
Wicek test and the No. ,. east, make
il risky enough.

We have never been sued

our cash sales have averag

past eight weeks. We buy
in large quantities; we buy
right. We do not credit
we lose nothing. We do not
deliver; we save this ex-

1t is the duty of every

Not one woman in fifty
ever weighs what she buys.
1t is easy to advertise a low
price and bluff competitors
and get customers to buy
then weigh short to make
profits. If you do not weigh
what you buy you never
know what you pay.
We do not ask people to
trust us. We only ask them
to try us and if not satisfied
their money back. We be-
lieve that now is a good time

board could be appointed by the re-

whether they would come into the re-

Ii does not always pay for a young

can borrow little money at the

The other who ought to have out
stripped him in the race for position
and a home on Easy street. let the
microhe OF wanderlust carry him
hither and thither and the bank
doesn't stake him for much. 1t is
all right to visit Florida, and go to
California and to Alaska and tour
the country in an automobile, but if
young man is going to have any of
what the boys cali kale by the time
he is so. he'll have to stick to
something somewhere for sometime,
and cut out the amber fluid while
youth and energy should be thrown
into the full tide of the struggle.

Long. long ago, children, when

lucious bivalves came in cans
square tin cans which might hold
somewhat between pint and quart
but a long way from the quart and
close neighbor to the pint. Floating
around in the liquor with which the can
was filed were several oysters. A
quart OF oysters such as the lady of

For David H. Tollman king Of the
loan sharks who was sentenced to
serve six months III the New York

no sympathy. but regret that the pun
shment was not more severe.
The specific offense of which Toll
man was convicted was collecting in

annum on a SO loan made to man
who had to have the money.
While New York SENDS her loan

license to prey upon the poor. When

tinues to hold its place among the

THE suREs1 APPEAL OF MOVING PICTURES

Out At Wounded Knee moving pic
ture sompany has attempted to repro
duce the fierce short battle which is
one OF the unsung thermopylaes of In
dian warfare. Buffalo Bill Cody. who
bore his part in the event was secured
10 oversee and stage the mimic scene
as nearly as his knowledge and recol-
lection will permit. In short Buffalo
Bill, the moving picture camera and
soldiers and Indians Will be used 10
create and preserve historical de-
scription that words can not convey.
That short, sharp fight at Wounded
Knee was as bloody While it lasted as
any fight chronicled in history. The In
dams had been cornered by troops. Ne
gotiations were in progress when with
the suddenness Of an explosion in a
powder mill the braves broke out.
Armed with the best repeating rifles
and opposed by soldiers equally well
armed the twenty minutes of Wounded
Knee covered the ground with dead in
Squaws were killed with babes in arms
but this incidental and mainly acct
dental detail will probably be missing
from the film. But the pictures will
be more than tradition, they will be
history for both white men and Indians
are alive and still strong who fought
in 2 mist of blood at Wounded Knee.
SO far this, the most useful as we'll
las the most interesting and valuable
phase of the moving picture has been
neglected in favor of the ephemeral and
usually soft and often silly picture
play made up on a vacant lot some
where and issued like the Bertha Clay
novel or the Nickel library in chunks
of silly sentiment or horse play fun.
But picture portrayal of the historical
and Of notable current events is the
strong foundation and the best appeal
Of the pictures to the general public
success OF a series of pictures follow
ing the life of Christ staged on the
ground and historically true in cos
tunes. Also the crowds which push
their way into stuffy and box-like
buildings to see reproductions Of ia

run. They have no stocks and have
booked orders for spring soods. They
have got to buy wool"
Thus in spite Of the cry Of the pro-
tected wooden manufacturers that the
new tariff reduction had been made
ruinously low, this manufacturer goes
on to explain that the minimum pro-
duction today for eo,00ooo0 of people
would be greater than was ever the
maximum production for e, o00,Q Of
people in the days of Cleveland's adj
ministration. He might also have added
that the number of American grown
sheep were far less per capita Of pop
uiation.
Another wooden mill president sends
out a circular to his trade declaring
that the tariff is now a c,osed incident
that it is past and that his company
intends TO excel the world in manu-
featuring wooden goods. American
worsted and woolens shall still be su-
preme. the best to be had in the world"
