NEW Gas WELL
HAS CONNECTED
APPROXIMATELY SIX MILLION
FEET MORE GAS FOR CITY CON.
SUMPTION TURNED IN.

The City Gas Company made con-
Iection with the new well recently
brought in in the Wheeler fields Fri
day afternoon, and approximately six
million feet more gas is now available
for city consumption.
Yesterday morning when citizens
began lighting fires throughout the
city, it was easily discernable that
something out of the ordinary had
happened over night and it had, the
gas company had made the connec-
tion and the additional gas pressure
was making the blazes dance merrily.
The we'll was brought in so late in
the season that it was of no use dur
ing the recent cold snap, but it will
relieve the situation until the mains
can be extended to the giant gasser
purchased from the Crystal company,
which will be accomplished by the
first of May, and the supply of gas
for the coming winter is already as
sured.

TREATY NEGOTIATED IN EIGHT
ZEN FORTY NINE BROUGHT TO
SENATE.

Washington, d. c., March IA

leo in 1859 and signed by the Mex
ican government, but never acted
on by the United States, was re-
moved from the hidden arcnives
here today by order of the senate
and printed for the use of the SEN
ators in the present crisis. This
treaty, if the senate had ratified it,
would have given the United States
the right to send its own forces into
Mexico, "in support of its own treaty
rights whenever Mexico may be un-
able to guarantee the same without
incurring, the obligation of general
intervention"
The state department decided to-
day that no answer would be made
to Huerta's recent suggestion that
because of the Benton incident the

PREPARING FOR
PRESS ASSN
SECRETARY WEST SAYS THAT
AFTER HE MEETS SECRETARY
WILL BEGIN ARRANGEMENTS.

F. X. West, secretary Of the COM
mercial club who has been invited to
confer with Ed. Branson, secretary
of the state press association at Ok
lahoma City, March IL, states that
after he returns and the program has
been agreed upon between Mr. Bran
son and himself that he will immedi-
ately get busy and make all prelimi'
nary arrangements to take care of
the visiting editors. The question Of
housing is the first one to be consid-
cred and as it. is impossible to have
more hotel facilities at that time than
we have now, it is going to be up to
the citizens to volunteer to house our
guests, and a committee will be or
ganized to secure the names of those
who will volunteer, and the number
that they are prepared to take care
of.
At the last annual meeting at Bar
tleSVllle, about nve hundreu deie-
gates were present and to those who
are familiar with the local hotel sitp-
alton at the present time, 1t will be
readily seen that something has to
be done. However Mr.. West states
that he has already secured several
unsolicited volunteers and anticipates
no trouble in taking care of all who
desire to come. The announcement
that Ebert Hubbard is to speak here
at that time, will bring many addi-
tional guests who otherwise might
not attend, but Mr.. West states, "let
them come on, we will take care of
them and show them the time of their
lives"

COURT ANNULS
THIS MARRIAGE
WOMAN WEDS INDIAN NOT OF
AGE, IN ORDER TO OBTAIN
HIS WEALTH.

Eufaula, Okla. March I'm the
district court here yesterday Judge
Preslie b. Cole set aside the mar
riage of Beeley Derrisaw, an Indian,
to Sallie Cindle.
This is a case that attracted con-
siderable attention. About a year
ago the Cindle woman married Bee
ley. Shortly thereafter it was dis
covered that Beeley owned valuable
oil lands and had big fortune in
prospect. The government and Der
risaw's guardian stepped in and
demanded that the marriage be set
aside on the grounds that young
Derrisaw was not of age when the
marriage took place in McAlester.
1t was furthermore argued infor
mally that back of l.e marriage
was a plan for the woman to get
possession of the Derrisaw money.
The case has been in the courts
for some time. Young Derrisaw is
now in Carlisle Indian school,
where he has been since he was
practically kidnapped by government
officers. Just a rev days after his
marriage, and whisked away with
out even giving his bride a chance
10 say goodbye.

the Healdton field is among the great

THE 1912 CROP.
Seed May Be Coolest Before
Planting.

1t is unusual to have to plant corn
that is two years old, but it may be
safer than to plant some of last
years seed. The dry weather, follow
ed by late rains, left the crop in an
unusually poor condition, causing
much of it to spoil.
Where 1912 seed can be secured, in
your locality, use it rather than to
import seed from a distance. 1t is
safer to either test some of the seed
yourself or know that 1t has been
tested and is of good, strong vitality
before buying.

The Train Crew Were Hid.

At moving picture show in a small
Michigan town one evening there was
thrown on the screen a view of a
group of young ladies preparing to
disrobe and go in bathing in a shelf
cred lake in the background. Just as
they started to undress a long freight
train came along the track between
the camera and the bathers. by the
time it had passed the ladies were in
their bathing suits and in the lake.
At the close of the evening per-
Torrance a man hurried out to the box
office and throwing down a bill de-
manded seat for every evening of
the week. 81 will be glad to sell them
to YOU" explained the man in the
ticket window, "Dut we show the same

Good Cream.

good cream if the cans are kept in
running water all the time.
Cream skinned by a clean hand
separator and then put in clean cans
and kept in running water SO that the
cream is held at the temperature of
the well water, or nearly so, will reach
the market in excellent condition even
though it may be several hours in
transit.
In handling dairy products, cleanli-
ness is the first thing to keep in mind.
Some hand separators are more
easily cleaned than others. In fact,
it is almost impossible to clean some
of them. This is a point to keep in
mind in purchasing hand separator.
Some hand separator agents have
used the argument that their particu-
lar make of separator does not require
washing after each separation.
There is no hand separator under
the sun that will clean itself.
The agent who says that his par
ticular machine does not need to be
washed after each separation is usu-
ally hard-up for argument. He is
usually selling a very poor separator.
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-03-28

There are no great secrets in the
production of good cream.
Cream that is kept clean and cold
will reach the market in good con-
dition. The thermometer is the best
tester ever invented to determine the
quality of cream.
The cream producers OF the country
have been often blamed for not adopt
ing better methods in the production
of their cream.
We believe these same cream pro-
ducers would have made much greater
progress if they had not been asked
to do so many impractical things.
We believe that they are ready and
have been ready for years to adopt
practical method of caring for their
cream.
1t is not a difficult job to produce
good cream, but first of all it should
be separated through a clean separa-
tor.
Then it should be put in clean cans
and the cans placed in cool water.
A separate cream house or at least
a separate room is the best but even
without these, it is possible to produce
