Oil PR|CE:
IS To Be
INCREASED
CUSHING FIELD PRODUCT
65 CENTS AFTER NOV. 10;
IS CENTS AFTER JAN. /
(c) Underwood & Underwood.

Ringing, Okla, Oct. 23.-During
the hearing at Ardmore yesterday
before George Henshaw, member Of
the state corporation commission,
relative to the price of Healdton field
crude oil being cut by the Magnolia
Pipe Line Company, from 40 cents
barrel to so cents, the statement
was made by Henshaw that Gushing
field oil will be raised to 60 cents a
barrel on November 10 and to rs
cents on January L by order of the
commission, which will also order
curtailment OF the production to the
amount that the pipe lines will take
and that can be stored without loss.
The commission forbade, some
time ago. a selling price OF less than
fifty cents barrel for the Heald-
ton crude, and the hearing today and
yesterday is on that order.
Recently the Magnolia posted cut
to forty cents, effective today. The
Magnolia officials attempted to show
the cost OF producing oil in the Heal
dton field is ten cents a barrel that
the company has a million barrels OF
Healdton in storage, is taking nine
ty-fOur hundred barrels daily, OF
which only six thousand barrels go
to the Pierce-Fordyce company at
F~rt Worth
The Magnolia officials on the wit
ness stand. said they did not rec
ognize the right OF the corporation
commission 70 fix the price OF crude
oil. Commissioner Henshaw snsw-
ed the commission can prevent ex-
tortion in bringing oil from the sands.
Il developed that an alleged agent
OF the pipe line company IS in the
Healdton field, offering forty cents
"a barrel for oil in violation OF the
commissions order. and COMMISSION
er HelsliAw issued an order for him
to appear here today on a contempt
charge The hearing viii continue
today and perhaps longer.

GREAT MARINE
BAND COMING
Through Efforts of Elks' Lodge,
Guthrie Music Lovers Will
Be Given a Treat

Through the efforts of the order Of
g ks Guthrie will be given a treat
. seldom comes this way. The
O.. lerful United States Marine Band
! III come to Guthrie to fill an open
date Saturday October 31st The
Elks have guaranteed large sum OF
money to secure this great band at
traction and the citizens of the city
should respond literally. Five othec
cities in the state competed for the
open date.
"The Presidents Own Band" as
the United States Marine Band is
often called, has been granted per-
mission by President Wilson to make
seven weeks tour of the Southern
and Western States.
Permission for the tour was re-
quested by Senators and Represen-
tatives of the section interested so
that their constituents could have
the privilege of hearing what the
law-makers had enjoyed during their
soiourn in Washington.
The program for the trip has been
selected by Mr. William IT, Santel-
mann, the leader of the band with
the greatest care and range, so as to
suit the tastes of all and will com
prise not only the scallics, but also
the latest popular airs and an occas-
ional bit of ragtime. These diver
sified programs explain the great
popularity of the band in Washing
ton.
The Marine band Instruments are
noticeable for moth their quality of
tone and material as Uncle Sam"
has been unusually generous in APP
propriating money for the equip
ment OF the band. When you add to
this a most proficient leader, and the
fact that the majority of the men
have been playing together for about
fifteen years, you are not surprised
at the perfect harmony and absolute
unity that prevades this great must
cal organization.
The United States Marine Band
will be heard on Saturday might, Oct
81 at the Guthrie Opera House, and
those who are able to attend the con-
cert may consider themselves more
than fortunate.

He is Here 10 Discuss Solution OIL
National Financial Questions Be-
tween U. S. and England |

Washington, d. c., Oct 23--That
an early improvement will take place
in the cotton situation is the belief
of Sir George Paish. special adviser
to the English chancellor of the ex-
chequer, who is now in Washington
discussing foreign exchange condi-
tions with the federal reserve board
and Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo.
Owe England $2o0,oo0ooo.
AT the present time, he said to-
day, England, of course feels that
she wants money that is owed her.
We have coming from the United
States probably more than 5000 000,-
600 Payment Of this large amount
of gold in the present situation might
prove inconyenient and England was
glad to respond to a proposal that the
case be talked about and an effort
made to find some way of meeting
the difficulty.
Il feel sure that some way will be
discovered here by your federal re-
erye board and the secretary of the
treasury, and there is no doubt that
eventually the balance Of trade win
again be in your favor In the months
to come England will be buying
American wheat and cotton. 1t prob
ably will not cancel the sum owed in
a few months, but it is Ibound to come
in time In the meantime. arrange
ments may be made so that you will
not be EN- barrassed and yet England
will be assured that her money will
be forthcoming when wanted
Sir George said that he believed
the London stock exchange would re-
open in a short time, and thought it
probable that the New York exchange
would be opened about the same time.
His government. he said, was prepar-
ing to prevent the calling of loans on
securities and, with such a guaranty
he thought there was little to stand
in the way of reopening He does
not expect to see the New York ex4
change opened before that in London.
No Fear From Egyptian Cotton.
Sir George declared that he did not
believe American cotton growers need
fear that English manufacturers will
buy Egyptian cotton in preference to
American cotton.
The Egyptian cotton is not used
ior the same grade of manufactured
goods he said AT precent the
English mills probably have suf-
icient supply on hand for a few
month They are naturally not anxi-
'us to buy. however, unless they are
