Runs will be Prorated

There has been much talk recently
concerning how the oil runs would be
pro-rated when the Gainesville pipe
line is ready to make runs. Producers
who have subscribed to this pipe line
and have agreed to sell a portion of
their production for a period of two
years at soc, it is said, are expecting
to make runs 10 the Magnolia pipe
line in equal amount with other pro-
ducers and in addition will run oil to
the Gainesville line. Judge Henshaw
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-09-19

in long distance telephone conversa-
ton Friday night stated that the com
mission would regulate the taking of
oil from the sand and that each pro-
ducer would receive his fair pro rata
part of the amount taken from the
sand. This means that the subscrib-
ers to the Gainesville line will not
have any advantage over those who
did not subscribe. Judge Henshaw is
of the opinion that large producers
will store their oil and that within six
ty days practically the entire produc-
ton will be cared for.

Tyrannical ConventionaIity

There is little doubt that one Of
the most oppressive, injurious, de
testable forces in the world is the
force of conventionality, thatinstlnct
which makes men judge character
and an action, not by its beauty or
its merits, but by comparing it
with the standard of how the normal
man would regard it. This vast and
intolerable medium OF dullness,
which penetrates our lives like a
thick, dark mist, allowing us only to
see the object in range of an i'm
mediate vision, hostile to all original
ity, crushingly respect able, that die
tateS our homes, our occupations,
our amusements, our emotions, our
religion, is the most ruthless and ty-
ranical thing in the world. Arthur

Will King Cotton be De-
posed?

All the German endeaYors to find
substitutes for cotton may appear
ridiculous to us who have been bro
ught up with the idea that Cotton is
King" and that we are destined for
all time to supply this fiber to the
civilized world.
The farmers who cultivated the
madden root and the planters who
raised indigo were also inclined to
jest when they were apprised of the
fact that German chemists had sue
ceeded in reproducing in the labra-
tories the dyes which their crops fur
nished. But when the manufact-
ured materials drove the natural pro-
ducts from the markets and left the
farmers and planters without a job,
hilarity ceased.
History may repeat itself, and will
low bark and nettle or some other
substitute raised on German soil may
In the near future threaten the SUI
premacy of King Cotton. The Ger
man chemist has duty to perform
and with his perseverance and APP
plication he does not shrink from any
problem, however difficult it might
appear to outsiders. Hugo Sci weitz-

"My Fathers Friend"

Ar inherited friendship. Who now
has one? His parents we're friends
of my parents" Parents are gone
on the long journey, yet the children
treasure the friendships that are sac
red to parents.
Are the friendships of today such
as will endure the test of years, OF
wide distances, Of long separations2
Will the children of present school
children and even the grandchildren
still remain that warm place In the
heart for fathers friend, or mothers
friend, and love to the second and
third generation because of the love
of TODAY?
Friendship goes deeper than the
surface of the heart. 1t does not ex-
ist in the tieeting pleasure in one an
others company. 1t it founded on
endearing qualities of character, on
congenial feeling, on a love that bears
any and all tests. There must be
perfect confidence, a trust not easily
disturbed by any outward circum-
stances.
To love "my fathers friend" be-
speaks love and reverence for my
father Such friendships may be
rare. but they do exist. Would there
were many more Of them. Thine
own friend and thy fathers friend
forsake not" is precept worthy a
wider hearing than it gets .-Milwau-

CLOSE CALL FOR GARAGE

ing to light the presto lamps on Jay
Miners car in the Chapman -McIn-
tosh garage, an explosion of gas oc-
Cured and the resulting flames
threatened for a time to destroy the
garage and its contents.
1t seems that the Miner car must
have been leaking gas and when the
ignited. John Mcintosh and Shakes
peare were fortunately enabled to
put out the blaze with hand fire ex-
tinguishers before the fire depart
ment reached the scene.
The Miner car and the new Saxon
owned by w. H. Gofl were badly
damaged and other cars were in
jured more or less.
Subsequent examination showed
that the solder on the gas tank of the
Miner car had been melted and that
the smallest fraction of chance had
prevented fire from reaching the gas
oline and a probable very serious
confagration.
