OIL FIELDS STORY.

In a double page spread, The Pc
troleum Age, published at 30 Wall
St. New York, tells of the Ardmore
oil fields. Clear across the double
page at the top is a picture of Wilson,
the town that oil built. and across
the two pages at the bottom is pic
ture of the oil fields showing the Mag
nolia Pipe Line workers building the
big steel tanks. The story carries an
Ardmore date line, and was written
by ID. T. Nisbett, the Associated Press
correspondent at Ardmore. The write
I'D of the fields is one of the best that
has been sent out to outside publica-
tons. 1t gives the number of produc-
ing wells, the daily production, the
number of drilling wells, and tells of
the activity of, the pipe line people to
care for the production. Statistics are
given of the gas production, and the
pool is called the greatest shallow gas
producer in the United States.

Another serious objection which
Oklahoma growers have not given

ROBBERS SECURE S35 FROM GROCER NECROFS' CLEVER RUSE CAN FILLED WITH SILVER IS TAKEN FROM STORE OF A. F. MILAN.

By working a clever ruse two or more negroes succeeded in stealing a tin can containing between $30 and $35 in silver money from A. F. Milan, the West Main street grocer, late last night. The thieves have not yet been located and none of the money has been recovered.
 The money had been accumulated by MT. Milan during yesterdays business and for convenience he had been placing the silver he had receiv- ed in tin cigar box behind the coun- ter Shortly after 10 o'clock last night, while Mir. Milan was making preparations to close up, young ne- gro man came in, saying that he wanted to buy some flour and meat and that another negro, Joe Bunting, had recommended Milams store to him. He asked to be shown the flour and MT. Milan stepped with him into back room. They were in the room about two or three minutes, the negro saying he would call this morning and buy barrel of flour and some meat, and the Customer" at once departed. A few minutes later MT. Milan reach ed for his can of money and it was gone. Evidently while the negro had decoyed him into the back room, a confederate had slipped quietly into the store and stole the money, al- though MT. Milan heard no sound of anyone else in the store.
 MT. Milan says the thief's accom- plice is young yellow negro, about IS or 20 years old and weighs about
 12O pounds. The grocer had never
 seen the negro before and does not know whether he lives in the county or not.

CHARITY BOARDS
 BOTH STAND PAT EACH WILL MEET JAN. 1 NEW BOARD EXPECTED TO IN STITUTE CUSTER PROCEED-
 INGS AGAINST OLD.

Little Rock, Dec. 24.-The present status of the controversy between the old and the new boards of state char ltable institutions is that of watchful waiting. A temporary truce has been declared, while each is preparing for the next move. Just what that will be cannot be foretold with any degree of certainty. The members of the new board have departed to their several homes, except that the secre- tary, Joe Ferguson, of Magnolia, re- mains in the city. He has a position, however, without any duties, as he has no office room at the capitol, and the old board refuses to surrender to hi many of the books or records of the board
 Both boards have adjourned to meet again on Jan. 4, when the new board vii lprobably demand the books and records, and the offices, and the old board will just as certainly re- luSe Io SuiIeHueT tHeA. ne lnQlca- tions are that it is the institution of the old board to continue to hold of- flee until the expiration of the term for which they were appointed, which will be on April 1, 1915.
 It is also probable that the new board wil seek to dispossess them by writ of custer or by quo warranto, so that they may secure possession of the books and records and proceed with the administration of the insti- tuition affairs. Messrs Dunaway, Par sons, Shane and Love have shown no disposition to yield, or to acknowledge the authority of the governor to re- move them from the board.

Sudden Deaths in a Silo

A recent fatal accident in Ohio
calls attention to q danger to farm
ers which cannot be too widely circu-
lated. Since 1875, when the first
American silo was built by DR.. Man
ley Miles, this method of preserving
forage for livestock has been general
ly adopted. Although the department
OF agriculture has frequently called
attention to the danger OF carbon
dioxid gas accommodating In silos un-
der certain conditions, no fatalities
have been reported heretofore. On
the morning Of Sept. 10, four work
men on the farm OF the Athens (Ohio)
State hospital, assembled the ladder
on the outside of sllo to an open
door about IL feet from the top and
jumped down one after another onto
the silage. the top of which was about
six feet below the door. About Ave
minutes after. two other workmen
following them found them uncon-
scious. Although large force Of
workmen were Immediately sula-
moned and the bodies of the four men
removed at once through a lower
door, the physicians OF the hospital
who were at once on the ground were
unable to resuscitate any Of the four
men. Evidently the carbon dioxid
gas had accumulated during the night,
filling the silo up to the level OF the
door and forming a layer OF carbon
dioxid gas six feet deep. Such acci-
dents, says the Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association, might cas-
lily be repeated on any modern farm.
Agriculture journals should call the
attention OF the farmers to this
danger and should urge that silos be
carefully ventilated before being en-
tered.
