first time since the days o the Ma
dero revolution, and upon this con-
ference much is believed to depend.
Officials here think that face-to-face
talk between Carranza and Villa Will re-
suit in a clearer understanding concern
ing the rights of foreigners in Mexico,
and especially their privilege of pressing
claims through American consular Off
GERS.
One of the results of the Torreon con-
ference is expected to be reply to
the State Department latest represen-
tations, especially in the case of the
Spaniards exiled from Torreon- Although
Carranza has told the department that
he is not disposed to interfere with Villas
course toward the Spaniards. there is
a frankly expressed expectation that this
stand may be modified.
Should the two rebel leaders decide to
pay no heed to Secretary Bryans de-
mand that the cases of all Spaniards be
settled on their individual merits, the
United States will be confronted with a
problem of the greatest gravity since
Spain has placed the safety of her sub

The Ardmoreite has received from
Writ Franklin, president OF the Ard
more Oil Producers Association,
copy OF the agreement made between
the producers and the pipe line peo-
pie in this city on the 18th OF August.
The tentative agreement entered into
here at the meeting has been reduced
to writing and signed by the parties
in interest and becomes effective the
first of September. The agreement is
here published in full:
Agreement of Aug Is, 1914.
Whereas, the producers OF the
Healdton oil field, acting through j..
NJ. Critchlow and Writ Franklin, on
the one hand, and the Magnolia Pipe
Line company, acting through its gen
eral attorney, George c. Greer, on the
other hand, on or about May l, 1914,
entered into certain agreement rel
atiye to the runs OF the oil from the
Healdton oil field in the state OF Ok
lahoma. and the construction Of Ger
tain tankage facilities, upon which
agreement an order OF the corpora
ton commission OF Oklahoma dated
May 7, 1914, was made;
And whereas. the Magnolia Pipe
Line company has claimed the right
of curtailing the runs OF oil to be
made by it from the Healdton oil
field. under the clause Of said agree
ment, which reads as follows;
This agreement Of the pipe line
company is not TO be construed as
having been violated If it is tempora-
rily prevented from performing same
by strikes, fires. floods or other
causes over which it has no control"
And whereas, although the produc-
ers do not wish to be committed to
the construction of said clause claim
ed by the Magnolia Pipe Line compa-
ny. and contend that said construC-
ton of said clause is incorrect yet
they are desirous of settling their diff
ferences with the Magnolia Pipe Line

tension the Pipe Line company agrees
to run on an average Of twelve thou
sand barrels OF oil per day from the
Healdton field, subject to the terms
and conditions OF said agreement of
Nav >. 1914. during which extension
.all the terms of said agreement shall
apply just as though the extension
had been embraced in the original
agreement,
1t is understood that a committee
representing the producers Of the
Healdton field have recommended that
each producer accept for half Of this
oil run between September !, 1914,
and January l. 1915, the six months

In the event the Magnolia Pipe Line

paragraph Of the letter is insistent. It
summarizes the matters in the other
paragraphs and passes the buck to the
farmer on the job at the agency in
this terse, comprehensive and slightly
chilly manner:
q believe there is a splendid chance

service by special efforts and cooper
alton along the lines indicated. |
must insist that you give the deyel-
opment OF the school farm your most
careful attention to the end that the
highest degree OF efficiency and re-
suits be accomplished There is alb
solutely no excuse for a waste acre OF
overlooked opportunity on a school
farm. We need all they will produce,
and cannot justify the purchase OF
anything We can raise II is incOn-
sistent and indefensible for us to ex-
pect Indian boys and girls TO return
home from their schools and do more

Superintendents. inspectors, supervi-
sors and special agents are directed
to give this matter their prompt and
most careful attention and fully ad-
wise me Of the steps taken by field
officers to make effective these sug-
gestions"
Perhaps the Indian farmer wants TO
do right and has read of the estimate
made OF his chief by the Journal of
the Society of American Indians a few
weeks ago. If so he has probably con-
cluded to line up and cooperate with
man who has been estimated by that
journal as follows:
"A man with the courage and initia-
tive OF Commissioner Sells deserves
both the respect and friendship of
those whom he serves. Loyalty to the
best interests of the red man will be
all the loyalty that the commissioner
will ask Of any man To such a man,
then, let there be given power for ac-
complishment and the means by which
he may have support and strength for
the task"

Many wars have famed up from slight causes. One recalls the quarrel 'twixt that Venetian ambassador and that Turkish grand vizier of the past. The ratification of a treaty was in question. and the Turk asked the Venetian to swear in Moslem fashion upon his beard and the beard of the prophet. The ambassador would not. "Venetians wear no boards" he re- marked Neither do monkeys" replied the Turk. and straightway the treaty was torn up and war declared.
