Good Fuel Oil.

At time when the third pipe line
is being talked for the Healdton field,
Santa Fe officials visit the city. This
visit has led some to suspect that the
Santa Fe is a prospective purchaser
for ali the Healdton residuum
The Healdton fuel oil is said to be
the best in the state. The Santa Fe
is a constant user of fuel oil. At times
like this. when there is flood of
OIL it can afford TO build storage
and make purchases as every time it
purchases a barrel, it saves enough
in the price to pay for the steel stor-
age necessary to care for the oil. The
Santa Fe has never made purchases of
fuel oil from the Magnolia and from
the Pierce Fordyce people-that is,
not recently-but has confined its
purchases among the small retineries
of the state, which has made many
friends for the road This guess at
the plan of the company to buy
Uealdton residuum would be scorned
by Mr.. Redmond, who is at the head
Of the fuel oil department OF the
road. hut still il seems reasonable
that the company might DO such a
thing

accompanied by f. A. Redmond of
the fuel oil department of the Santa

here early this morning for a trip to
the Santa Fe oil fields.
Mr.. Cottingham said the party was
going for the purpose of looking at
some lands, that he would have no

gave him an opportunity to catch
the biggest fish in Carter county,

there was more good fishing to the

He said Ardmore people should make

Black Panther Wins Case.

DldNh '''o ONSN'
After four days of interesting legal
proceedings, last week at MuskOgee,
Okla, in the federal court, the Black
Panther Oil company was declared
to be legally authorized to operate
the famous Barney Thlocco oil prop
erty. Judge Campbell presided and
there were many attorneys present
in behalf of rival claimants. After
examining the data at hand and lis
tening to evidence in relation there
to, the Judge decided that the Black
Panther cOmpany's lease of 100 acres
Of very valuable oil land in section
9-1S-7 is valid The records of the
Dawes commission, which had allot-
ted the land to Barney Thlocco, were
recognized by Judge Campbell as au-
thor,tatiye and upon that point he
based his decision.
There are still about eighty heirs,
or alleged heirs, who will press their
claims in subsequent proceedings

EXPLAINS WHY MEATS ARE
HIGH
Too Much Shipping Back and Forth
Senator White Says. A Home
Market Needed.

Des Moines, Dec. 11.-Senator
Harry White of Garrison who at
tended the sessions of the Corn Belt
Meat Producers association held here
last week pointed out while at the
state house one reason why meat is
high in Iowa. He said that much of
the meat we eat is shipped back and
forth across the state three or four
times before it is finally sold across
the counter. The cattle are raised
here and shipped into Chicago prob
ably as feeders. There they are
bought by some Iowa feeder and
shipped back into the state. He fat
tens them and ships them into Chi
cago where they are sold as fat cattle
and slaughtered only to be shipped
back again to our local butchers as
fresh meat.
This is one of the conditions
which is causing our cattle men to
talk of developing market right
here in Iowa where cattle would not
need to be shipped so far and so
much consumed in freight rates.
Last winter when the foot and
mouth disease quarantine kept all
shipments of cattle in Iowa, tied up
the need of an Iowa market was felt
most keenly. Under the conditions of
the quarantine cattle could be ship
ped to points within the state but
not out of the state. The foot and
mouth trouble was largely confined
to a comparatively few counties in
the eastern part of the state and yet
Iowa feeders had no place they
could market their cattle because
they could not ship out of the state.
AS result they lost a great deal of
money. While Iowa has a cattle mar
ket in Sioux City and good hog mar
kets at Cedar Rapids and Ottumwa,
the beef men want to
develop sort of cooperative
if such a thing is practicable
and have appointed a committee to
see if some plan cannot be worked
out along this line.

Farmer Scared In a Dream

story is told of a farmer in a
nearby county who once thrashed
1900 blu. of wheat, which he sold, not
to one single grain merchant, bat TO
$500 different grain dealers, q bushel
to each. A few of them paid him
cash, but the far greater said it was
not convenient then, but would pay
later. A few weeks passed and the
mans bank account ran low. "How is
this?" he said. My 1900 bushels of
grain should have kept me in tluence
until another crop, but | have parted
with my grain and have instead only
a vast number of accounts so small
and scattered that l cannot get
around and collect it fast enough to
pay my expenses" Sc he posted up
public notice and asked all of those
who owed him to pay quickly. But few
came. The rest said; "Mine is but
small matter, and / will go and pay
one of these days." forgetting that
though each account was only very
small, when they were all put togeth-
er they meant large sum to the man.
Things went on thus; the man felt so
badly and rolled and tossed about so
much in his efforts to collect that he
fell out of bed and awoke, AMI run
ming to his granary found his 5000
bushels of wheat still safe there He
had only been dreaming, and hadn't
sold his wheat at al.
Moral:-The next day he went to
the publisher of his paper, and said:
Here is the pay for your paper and
when next years subscription comes
due you can depend on me to pay
promptly. / stood in the position of
an editor last night, and l know how
it feels to have ones honestly earned
money scattered all over the country
in small accounts.

The Trials of a Farmer Who Moved

In Farm and Fireside is the story
of farmer who sold his property to

and enjoyed yearly vacation" He
found, however, that the city man
pays dearly for these Injuries.

it was just as hard for the city man
to get up at seven o'clock in the
morning as j. was for the country
man to get up at five. Why so? Be
cause he must not relax; he is ever
on duty. He must smile at this per-
son and that person. He .dares not
notice anyone's peculiarities, or cd
dities, or unreasonableness. The re-
suit is he must find his relaxation in
the evening; therefore the family
rarely gets to bed before ten or
eleven O'Clock, and seven in the NOR

less refreshed than five found him
