BIG GAS STRIKE
AT RIPLEY PAYNE co.

Ripley Okla, Aug. Pa 100000
cubic feet gas well was opened We'd
nesday on the ODE Broyles farm three
miles east of Ripley at a depth of 3,54O
feet The well was already a 100
barrel oil we'll at 1900 feet, but oil
was cased off for the purpose OF max
ing a deep test. Several sands of oil
have been struck but none in paying
quantities. Drilling still continues
and experts who are on the ground
claim that indications are good for a
paying oil well. The quality of the
oil struck in the Broyles sand stands
the best specific gravity test of any
produced in the state. Ripley is in
Payne county on the Cimarron river.

TOM ROLLON
HAS NOVEL
COTTON IDEA
WOULD HAVE GOVERNMENT
PLACE REVENUE TAX IN ALL
COTTON RAISED UNTIL SUR
PLUS is TAKEN.

Wynnewood, Okla, Aug. 26,-Thom-
as p. Rollow, who for years has been
close observer of both the grow
ing and marketing of cotton, offers
the following solution for the diff
culties now being experienced by cot
ton growers in the marketing of cot
ton:
Let the government fix a price,
basis middling, say 10 cents at the
shipping point. Let the farmers and
merchants sell to those they can for
more, if they can get it. If they can
not get more, let the cotton take
the cotton at 10 cents through local
agencies. Place the cotton in ware
houses at the various shipping points
Sell the cotton when the staple will
bring cost and expenses. This may
accumulate several millions of bales,
Dul W ltlltNt lllt NOhStolAOlA ltN NAAN
government place a revenue tax Of
from $40 to s25 per bale on all cotton
raised, until the surplus is taken by
the mills and keep the tax on the
cotton until normal conditions prevail.
such a plan will force to south
to take to raising other crops, de-
stroy the old credit system, and put
the farmers of the south on a more
safe and sane plan of living than they
have ever enjoyed. In the end the
government will not lose a cent by
interceding now, when the worst
calamity that We have had since the
sixties are staring US in the face

Pleased With Our Paper

Editor Plain Talk:
have received the first copy
of Plain Talk issued under your
management and want to compli-
ment you on the neat appearance
of the paper, its well filled news
columns and local pages, all MAX
ing first class country newspaper.
You have made a good start and
| feel sure the people will appreci-
ate your efforts to give them a
real live paper and will be liberal
in their support. | am especially
pleased with your "Howdy-Do, "
which you might well have called
your editorial platform, since in il
you lay down the principles by
which you propose to be guided
A great many people will be glad
that you are to discontinue all
whiskey advertising and that you
will admit nothing to your col.
umns that will be harmful in the
home. So many editors are sc
willing to devote their space tc
anything that will bring in the al.
mighty dollar that it is quite re.
freshing to find one who is indie.
pendent enough to close his
columns agai st corrupting anC
base influences. You h v
pitched your aspirations on a high
plane, and while you may never
reach your ideal, we believe -tht
good people >of the county will
Loyalty assist you in your ambition
to make Plain Talk the best paper
| in East Tennessee.
With best wishes for your sue
cess and prosperity,
Very truly,

is for some things that | am for
and he is for some things that |
am against. The fire marshall
law only means a hand out
of $4,000 of the peoples money
annually simply for places for men
to 60 over the state and bark for
him. Why not abolish this law
along with some others? Why
still ring from the tax ridden peo-
pie of the state their hard earned
money to keep up a useless gang
of politicians? Tell me what
benefit the fire marshallS and
hookworm agents are, except to
get money for this purpose? |
believe we ought to have a new
constitution, an amendment so as
to do away with the house of
representatives or the senate.
One or the other is as much as
the people of the state should
have to pay, and the way our
state is run now, under boss rule,
we do not need either.
| believe in the policies of Thea
dore Roosevelt, that the hope of
success for the Republican party
is to nominate him for president
in 1916. believe that he is the
greatest living man on this con-
tinent today. He believes that
flesh and blood has higher rights
than the almighty dollar. He be-
lieves in the protection of every
citizen to the end that all are en-
titled to square deal.
