ONE OIL DEAL
REACHES $4,000
JOE WILLIFoRD DISPoSES OF 4so
ACRES-OlL WELL TO BE SUNK
At ONCE BY PURCHASERS.

One of the biggest real estate
deals ever made in the county was
closed yesterday when Joe and Nan
ME Williford of Woodford sold their
farm for $4,000. The land lies in
the oil and asphalt belt near Wood
ford. The purchasers are the Mid
Continent Mineral Corporation, OF
which f. H. Campbell of Oklahoma
City is general manager. OF the pur-
chase price $4,000 was paid in cash.
$25, 900 is due November /, and the
balance of $4,000 in due May |,
1914. In case the second payment
is not made the purchasing company
will get a deed to small tract OF
The land for their first payment and
if the second payment is made and
the third payment is not made, thea
the purchasing company will get a
deed to another portion of the land.
At least these are the terms set
forth in an option and contract to
buy on the part of j. E. Parker,
whose option was transferred to the
purchasing company. The contract
was made February q and was made
a matter of record in the office of
the register of deeds.
Immediately following the sale, Mr..
Campbell placed an order for lum'
Der with the Hudson Houston Lum-
Der company. The lumber will be
hauled to the land at once and used
in building derricks for oil machin-
cry. The land will be thoroughly
tested for oil. 1t is the intention
of the company to case off the liquid
asphalt and to drill for oil. The as
phalt on the lands has been tested
to a depth of 700 feet and it is known
that this acreage abounds the fin
est quality of asphalt and in vast
quantities.
Mr.. Williford left for Oklahoma City
following the sale and he could not
be seen. His attorney said he was
not authorized to make statements
for publication concerning Mr.. Willi-
ford's business and the details OF
the contract as they are published
were gathered from the contract to
sell which was made matter of rec
cId.

That bad Niger From caddo.

A negro answering to the name OF
Paul Stevenson and claiming to be-
long to the elite Of the ebon section
of the society of Caddo, blew into
this municipality last night and pro-
ceeded to do things in Coontown with
the result that he now languisheth
behind the bars of Ardmore's city
boarding house.
When the wrecker of colored homes
and the breaker of colored hearts
dropped from the Frisco upon it's ar
rival in this city last evening, he
stated that Ardmore niggers didn't
look so many to him. In fact he even
went so far as to insinuate that all
the negroes of this city, looked, in
his eyes, like very small potatoes and
few in hill. When a big, life sized
husky male negro of Ardmore resi-
dence disputed this fact, the bad
niger from Caddo" proceeded to un-
timber a mans size cannon which
he carried concealed upon his person,
and chase all Ardmore coons into the
tall and uncut. Then he disappeared.
This morning Police Officer Black
burn unearthed the gent from his hid
ing place and now he reposeth, safely
deposited under lock and key, await
ing the action of Judge Best, who
will probably do the best he can
under the circumstances by issuing
him a permit to improve the city's
streets for a number Of days.
Joe Brittan and Louis Sanders, two
negroes with local unsavory reputa-
tions, were given ten days each on
the streets this morning. The charge
against them was practicing the Jack
Johnson art without license and
against the peace and dignity of the
city.

The mayor, the city clerk and all
board members were present. The
city attorney being absent on account
of sickness.
Minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved.
The matter of granting plumbers
license to George Erichsen for the
ensuing year was referred to Com
missioner Bridgman for necessary ad-
I justment. -.-
Upon motion of Commissioner Sell
vidge the appointment of George
Tucker to a place on the police force
was confirmed. Mr.. Tucker present
ed his bond to the commissioners.
The same was approved.
Mayor Dawson then submitted for
the approval of the board the names
of the following ladies as members
of the library board to serve for the
different periods named: Mrs. ]. c.
| Thompson, to serve for one year;
Miss Edith Hutchinson and Mrs. Da-
vid Redfield, to serve for terms of
two years each; Misses Pearl Moore
and Daisy Nichols, to serve for three
years each. These nominations were
unanimously confirmed by the board.
Elbert Mickey, an aged, old-time
negro, was granted free permit to
fish in the city lake. This action
was taken by the commissioners on
account of the extreme age and gen.
eral infirmity of the negro, which
incapacitates him from labor.
Emergency bills amounting to ST.
7O762 were presented, allowed and
warrants ordered drawn in payment
for same.
Resolution endorsing the capacity,
ability, ETC., of City Engineer Brad

Can't Get Away From 1t

Analysis of GrapeNuts shows Potassium
and Phosphorus (Which join and make Phos-
phate of Potash) is considerable more than
one-half of all the mineral salts in the food.
DR.. Geo w. Carey, an authority on the con-
stituent elements of the body, says: The
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic Cell-sat Potassium PLos-
phate phosphate of PotashA This salt unites
with albumen and by the addition of oxygen
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the
brain OF course, there is trace of other
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid
but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract, by
its own law of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir of life"
Further on he says: The beginning and
end of the matter is to supply the lacking
principle, and in molecular form, exactly as
Nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and
grain. To supply deficenoes-this is the only
law of cure
The natural conclusion is that if Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain flag because its daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary, If you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.
Mind does not work well on a brain that
is broken down by lack of nourishment.
A peaceful and evenly poised mind is neces-
sary to good digestion.
Worry anxiety fear. hate, etc, etc; directly
interfere with or stop the flow d Ptyalin,
the digestive juice OF the mouth, and also in.
terfere with the flow OF the digestive juices
of stomach and pancreas.
Therefore the mental state OF the ndivid-
ual has much to. do (more than suspected)
with digestion.
Brain is made of Phosphate of Potash as
the principal Mineral Salt, added to albumen

Watch Quickly Recovered.

Quick work was accomplished in
the matter OF the recovery of a watch
stolen few days ago from a gentle
man in Marietta and put in a hook
shop in this city. The gentleman
who had lost his watch came TO
Ardmore yesterday and told his trou-
bles to Officer Jones, of the police
force here, with the result that in
less than an hours time he was
ready to return to Marietta with the
watch in his possession.

Street Gang of Good Size.

The gang of city convicts is grad
ually growing to healthy proportions.
About ten or a dozen are now serving
the city in the street department and
it is thought that if few more bad
coons will invade the quiet precincts
of coontown, a full roster soon will
be mustered into the service.

Is il possible to nourish, strengthen and
Rebuild the Brain by Food?
Every man who thinks uses up part of the
brain each day Why doesn't it all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say a month Of
brain work? Because the man rebuids each
day.
If he builds a little less than he destroys,
brain fag and nervous prostration result sure.
If he builds back little more each day, the
brain grows stronger and more capable. That
also is sure. Where does man get the mater
ial to rebuild his brain? Is it from air, sky
or the ice of the Arctic sea? When you come
to think about it, the rebuilding material must
be in the food and drink
That also is sure.
Are the brain rebuilding materials found
in all food? In a good variety but not in
suitable proportion in all
To illustrate: we known bones made
largely of lime and magnesa taken from food;
therefore to make healthy bone structure
must have food containing these things. We
would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make
healthy bone structure in a growing child.
If we desired to keep brain strong and
healthy we would use food known TO contain
the things Nature uses for the purpose.
True, Nature provides these elements in
variety of edible things. We submit the fol-
lowing facts for those who care to know some
thing definite on the subject:

and water.

Grape Nuts contain that element as more
than onehaf of all its mineral salts. We
must remember that nearly 80 per cent of the
brain is composed of water and albumen but
the little Worker Phosphate of Potash must
be present in order to blend the more bulky
materials into usable form.
So with Grape-Nuts The Phosphate of
Potash is more than one-half of all the min
eral salts, but the total volume of those ele-
ments is exceedingly small compared with
the greater bulk of other food elements con-
tanned in Grape-Nuts
I'VE should also remember that this small
ingredient should not be put into the food in
the form it might come from chemist, be-
cause man cannot produce these clements in
as digestible a form as Old Mother Nature,
