Hints to Brides.

If wife or prospective bride wishes
to have happy married life, she may
rest assured that her desires will be
gratifed if she bears in mind the
following "don'ts:"
Don't marry a man for living, but
for love. Don't overdress, or the re.
verse. Common sense is better than
style. Never, when married, get the
idea that the way to run a house is
to run away from it, or that 1t is right
to lecture your neighbors on how to
bring up their children, while you are
neglecting your own.

AIS AS GOVERNOR.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Opposition OF
democratic senators to President
Tafts plan Of putting Colonel George
W. Goahals, builder of the Panama
canal, at the head of the civil gov.
eminent of the zone, took such pre-.
portions Thursday that some of Mr..
1'ait's advisers urged him to forego
the plan and leave the creation o.
the zone government to his successor,
PRESIDENT elect Wilson.
Some who talked with the president
carly in the day were convinced that
lac would canvass the situation fur
ther before abandoning his plan. 9th
efa in close touch with the president
were positive that out of considera-
ton for Colonel Goethals, whom he
does not wish to involve in a politi-
cal dispute, he would give up the
idea, and that Colonel Goethals, imme-
diately after appearing before the
congressional committee, formulating
appropriations for fortiftications Of
t"c canal, would return to his work
One feature of the plan, however
Colonel Goethals is not put at the
lead of the zone government, Is to
place all employees of the canal work
undsr civil service, by the presidents
executive order. A few employees on
The isthmus are already in civil ser
Wee, but the greater number of the

The attitude of the democrat sena-
tors is that the present canal coIl-
mission should not be displaced and
dIsorganized until the canal is com
plcted.

OIL At FOX NOW
SEEMS CERTAIN
GYPSY OIL COMPANY MAKE
STRIKE At SHALLOW DEPTH
STILL GOING DOWN.

Late advices received from reliable
sources would indicate that the Gyp
sy Oil Company will soon bring in
a producing we'll in the wildcat
oil field at Fox. The report says
that, at depth of one hundred and
twenty-five feet this company struck
oil, but not in paying quantities.
They have cased through this strata
of sand and are continuing to drill
deeper and feel confident that they
will in a short while strike the reg
ular pool.
The Gypsy company is the operat-
ing division or branch of the Guthrie
Petroleum Company, one of the larg-
est and most successful oil concerns
in this state.
The bringing in of a producing
well in the Fox country will result
in demonstrating more fully than
ever that Carter county is destined
to become in very short time one
of the banner oil sections of Okla
homa, if not of the entire southwest.
