Dec 27.-Two young masked men whose names were latter learned as Claude Jones, 23, and Ar thur Mcfarland, aged about F, en- tel cd the Bank of Grant, at Grant, OK. six miles south of here at 2:3O o'clock this afternoon and after locking cash ier Webb and one custome1' in a vault escaped with about $4,OO0 in currenc,, ali of which later was recovered.
 The cashier and customers were told to throw up their hands and were locked into the vault which wa, closed on them. The bandits did not understand the mechanism of the time lock and were unable to locx the door. A pistol belonging to Webb was taken with the money.
 When the robbers left cashier Webb opened the door and picking up a repeating shot gun overlooked by the masked men went by a short GU. to the railroad station 100 yards from the bank and concealed himself be- hind a pile Of railroad ties. When the bandits approached. Webb ordered them tc, hold up their hands,
 Failing to do so Webb fired ten shcts, nine of which struck McFar- lard and the other striking Jones. Jones will probably die while McFar- land is badly wounded. Both men were brought to jail here toinghs.

The petroleum output Of Indiana in
1914 showed an increase for the first
time since 1904, final returns to the
United States geological survey cred
iting the state with 1.335,456 barrels,
representing An increase Of nearly 40
per cent over the output In 1913. This
Increase may be attributed chiefly to
the pools in Sullivan county, in the
southwestern portion Of the state,
which supported an active develop
rnent throughout the year. The aver
age price per barrel for the Indiana
product declined from s1.34 in 1913
to s116 in 1914 but was higher than
for any previous year except 1913 in
the history Of the states petroleum
industry. The total value Of the
states production in 1914 amounted
to s1,54S,042, exceeding that OF any
previous year since 1910. Field activ
ity in 1914 resulted in the compile
tiou Of 742 wells. of which 40. or GO
per cent, yielded oil in commercial
quantities.

PUBLIC TREE PLANTING.

The New York state college Of for
estry at Syracuse university Is urging
the municipalities of the state to take
up public control OF street tree plant
ing and preservation in the same
manner as public control is exercised
over other street improvements. Dur
ing the last year the college has made
investi CATION OF the shade trees in
many cities and towns Of the state,
including New York City, Syracuse.
Pinghamton, Amsterdam, Mt. Vernon.
Newburg and Olean. It has been
found that thousands OF shade trees
are dying along the streets OF the
cities, due to past mistakes in selec-
ton of varieties and in spacing the
trees at the time of planting. says the
New York Post. Within the cities of
the state there are, it is said, 10000
miles of street capable of SUSTAINING
growth Of 100000 shade trees,

sons why the consumer should do
his trading at home, which retailers
who are confronted with the mail

The reasons given are as follows:

because IL this part OF the coun-
try IS good enough for me TO live In,
II is good enough for me to buy in.
because l believe IN transacting
business with my friends and neigh
bors.
because I want to see things be-
fore / buy them.
because ! want to get what I buy
when I pay for 1t.
because a part of every dollar
spend stays at home and helps work
for the welfare Of the section / live
In
because the home man / buy from
paws his share Of the local taxes.
because the home man l buy from
helps support the local institutions
lodges and churches.
because / sell what I produce tc
my home people and It is only right
that they should sell in the same way
because I do not believe in sup
porting the NAL order houses in ths
far-away cities.

OF live and let live-as good citizen
