LIQUID COLO
OKLAHOMA OIL OPPORTUNITY

Oil is the greatest money maker
and Oklahoma is the greatest field
in the United States in the value
of the oil productions, totaling over
81, 100000 income weekly. Glen
Pool and other Oklahoma fields
made millionaires rapidly when oil
was selling at thirty-ive cents per
barrel. Now the price is more than
double. Fortunes are accumulated
almost between the rising and set
ting of the sun in the great Mid
Continent field of Oklahoma.
When one considers that the state
produces more than 81, 200, 600 a
week, that wells can be drilled in
from six to twenty days, and often
these wells pay for themselves
within a week after drilling, that
the owner of a single forty or
eighty acres Of land frequently has
an income of 100000 to $780, 90 a
day and that stock bought in a
Compsny at $l.00 or $1,000 a share
is many times worth $4,000 to
100000 a share within a year, ones
brain reels at the thought. And yet
this is the history of many individ-
uals in the state of Oklahoma that
reads like some fairy tale. The
g%oldfields Of California in their
palmiest days-are left in the rear;
tho great gold awakening in Alaska
is forgotten; the diamond fields of
Kimberly in South Africa yale into
significance. Nothing i'm the his
tory of civilized mankind has aided
man in accommodating fortunes so
rapidly al the oil and gas, interests
Of the Great Mid Continent field in
the State of Oklahoma.
Here ever children of the white,
Indian and negro races who have
bad a small piece Of land left to
them through inheritance have
frequently an income of $4,000 to
100000 per day from royalties
while the Oil Company that is de-
relOping their land is frequently
making 100 per cent a month.
Language fails to express the real
ity and even eye witnesses can hard
ly believe the marvellous facts of
production Of oil.
A number of stro1g Companies
have been organized and are OPP
Grating. Among these is the Great
Western Petroleum Company Of
Tulsa, Oklahoma, Incorporated un-
der the laws of Oklahoma for ST.
000, 900 with a strong directorate
ut business men, three Of whom are
experienced and practical oil men
which is now off, ring 100, 900

THE DAILY STORY.
LIGHTED WINDOWS.


Copy right. 1911. by ". Werner,
1t was a surprise to everybody when
Mrs. Calhoun announced her inten-
ton of taking herself and her rheu-
natism to California for the winter.
She needed more sunshine than she
could get in Westmore. the doctor
said. To be sure. there was no .rea :
son why she should not go anywhere
she chose; she certainly had money
enough But what could she do with
her house? The Calhoun house was the
landmark on Pink street. 1t was as
individual and interesting as the sol
diers' monument in the square beyond
or the clock in the town hall tower. An
old friend of Mrs. CalhQun's-a stranger
to eyerybodv in Westmore-was COM
ing to live in the house all winter. rent
free She was Il widow, alone In the
world and quite poor. But the very ract
that she came from Il great city made
pink 'streeters a little afraid of her.
Mrs calhoun left one morning and
that afternoon Mrs. Wigham arrived
She walked from the station carrying
,,.- oup bag. Nobody realized that the

TOO a window had been raised. 1t was
unbelievable When. even on Mrs. Cal
hours rare sweeping days, had such a
thing occurred? For Mrs. Calhoun
Ike all the other women on PINK
street, lived discreetly behind her cur
tains and shutters, and if she had
stood on her head, day or night, no
BODY would have been the wiser.
Certainly the old house was in the
hands of a rank revolutionist, who her
self in a CHEEKY blue frock, with a
gray blue cap on her head. was tiirt-

Not a minute too soon, returned
Mrs. Day. THE poor thing will be lone

The poor thing. however, seemed to
save no intention of getting lonesome.

had scraped acquaintance with Mrs.
Bassett and had persuaded Mrs.
Mobiles two children. by presents of
gingerbread, to fall in love with her.
Mrs. Bassett. Mrs. Young. Louisa

Measuring Brain Power.

From IL. New York Tribune.
DR.. E. Linden Mellus of Johns Hopkins
University. has announced to all tine
world that your brain is good because it
is, that's all. At least, that is the sub
stance of his message to the American
Physiological Society. Neither size nor
convolutions have anything. to do with
brain force Whether your brain is the
size of a crabappie, and as smooth, or
the size of a caulifower, and as con-
voluted, makes no difference in the men
tai punch. That's all due to some mys-
terious force, undiscovered and unan-
alyzed.
1t is somewhat trying to have all the
established notions kicked over in this
summary fashion, blu maybe we can
get used to this doctrine in the new year.
Anyhow there is some comfort in know
ing that the rule-of-thumb method by
which the wor has been judging brain
power for these many years-that Of the
quality Of the product-does not conflict
with the newest theory about the sub
ject. So that while the textbooks may
have to be rewritten, the practice can go
on as it is. and the size of the nay
check still be the outward and visible
sign and gauge Of the brain punch

outside the window the buds were

treasures accumulated during a long

which were duplicated in every other
street?
I've put them all away in bureau

insensibly also the five women felt the
same urge to cheerfulness. When at
last they came away each said to her
self that she had had a very pleasant
call indeed, and was going home with
an agreeable taste in her mouth

heads beside Mrs. WiSham's in the
radius of bright lamp light.
Within month everybody had been

eaten of her excellent cooking and she
had been to see everybody, receiving

Why Unmarked Seas?

Secretary, Redfield does right to pro
test against the niggardliness of Congress
in refusing to provide for the proper
cbarting of waters of the north Pacific
and Alaska. Heavy, indeed, has been
the toll of human life. Underwriters
charge a sharply discriminative insur-
ance rate on ships navigating that north
ern sea-but every appeal for an ade-
quate survey of the coast has been ig-
nored by the national lawmakers.
Their attitude is faithfully reflected
in the character of the ancient craft as
signed to surveying work. As Mr.. Red
field says, ut is a shameful thing TO
send United States officers to sea in
such ships as the Endeavor, the Gedney
and the Macarthur, respectively 81, 80
