widest Of all wildcat speculations.
To those who cared to ask the elder
ly Garfield simply stated that his "oil
locator" indicated that the 420 acres
Of land was over a lake of oil. Then
the oil men smiled and gave 1t up. The
first we'll was drilled and much to the
surprise of everybody except Tippett
and Garfield, it came in a good well.
Then another and another we'll, the
last always bigger than the preceding
ones, until the locator" lease became
one of the valuable properties Of the
district, the last we'll coming in with
500 barrels a day.
When the oil men finally found that
what had been thought dry lease had
reversed itself and proven to be real
producer, they were further amazed to
find the wells, when they went out to
locate them on their maps, also had
been located contrary to all oil well
rules. They were scattered haphazard
all over the lease without regard to the
usual distances for offsetting and
boundary lines. When they were ready
to locate new we'll Garfield took his
"locator" out and trotted about over
the ground until the locator" COM
menced its queer pranks that told him
where the oil was. There he drove a
stake and told the drillers to put up
their rig And every time the oil was
found. 1t was this lease with its oil
production that Tippett and Garfield
sold for 100000 They had already
sold more than enough oil to pay all
expenses and the 100000 was net
profit.
In the meantime while the negotia-
tions were pending on this deal, Can

near Boynton and commenced to. trot
around over the land. This was also
strictly a wildcat venture. Finally he
appeared to be satisfied, drove stake,
went back and leosed the land and
ordered a dril1er to set up rig. This
was entirely virgin territory. On the
day the deal for the first lease was
closed for 100000, the new Boynton

large one, but good, just the same.

expect big we'll on this location.

sion wherever oil men meet, belongs
to Garfield. He does not talk about 1t
much. He has nothing to sell. He ad-
mits that the instrument would not
work for everyone and simply says:
There is oil down there" when his
instrument tells him this is so. He
does not disclose what manner of
mechanism the locator" is or any of
the contents of the curious looking
little cylinder from which extend two
slender prongs. Holding these prongs
as handles, Garfield says that when he
passes over oil, no matter how deep
in the earth 1t may be, there is pecul-
lar vibration and twitching of the
handles, telling him of the presence of
oil.
The partners seem to be the only
ones who believe that the locator"

others think so long as they can cash
their faith in 1t for 100000 in six

years Of his life in the oil game, oper-
ating from Canada to Texas. Tippett

and admits his knowledge Of steers is
much greater than his knowledge of

they leased 420 acres. Other oil men
laughed at them, when, instead of drill

for pumping wells. In addition to this
the land they had leased had, by all
the rules of the oil game, already been
proved dry because wells had been

CONSUMPTION AND
PATRIOTISM

British trade unionists show true
patriotism in threatening resistance
to impending conscription. If the
government will not offer sufficient
inducements to men to volunteer, then
it has no right to compel them to
fight. Those who would rather en-
dure the consequences of defeat than
fight to avert them are surely entitled
to their choice If the institutions Of
a country are not such as it's citizens
would care to fight for, then conscrip-
ton can only make the people think
still less of them. Governments which
enforce military service confess there
by that they have cause to fear that
the people do not think them worth
fighting for.-The Public.

BILL SUNDAYS PATRIOTISM

Next to his piety, there is nothing
that Billy Sunday prizes so much as
his patriotism. Billy Sunday hates
foreigner-that is, poor one. All
rich people, foreign or native, are
adored by the Rev. Billy; but for
poverty-stricken foreigners he has but
the utmost contempt. Here is what
the rip-roaring revivalist says in one
of his sermons:
Another influence against Christ is
immigration. There are multitudes of
them, a half million to a million every
year-just multitudes of them-com-
ing with just enough money and ma
terials enough to escape being paupers
and criminals, and they settle here
and become a carbuncle on the neck
of the body polite. All over America
there are patches of Europe, until
America has become a backyard in
which Europe is dumping it's paupers
and criminals"
How Billy Sunday would have de-
spised Jesus Christ! He would doubt
less have been a ringleader of the
priests and patricians that cried Cru
city him." For Jesus was a foreigner
and he was so poor that he had no
place to sleep. He was also a Grim
inal in the eyes of the ruling class.
In this sermon Billy Sunday goes
on to say:
Let 'em go back to the land where
they were kenneled. Sixty-nine per
cent. of our criminals are either for
eigners or of foreign parents -
In the light of Frank Walsh's pub
lie exposure of Americas greatest
criminal class Billy Sunday has an
other guess coming. The foreigners
did not beget the Rockefeller breed.
In fact, it was largely foreigners that
were the victims of this breed Put
the truth matters nothing to The Rev.
Bill. He walks by faith. not by facts.
He has faith in the rich. He loves
them, and they love Billy What good
are the poor, when it comes to pulling
off a big revival? Send them back
to where they were kenneled,
This is the religion of piety, patriot
ism, and profit. With this religion
Billy is headed straight for heaven.
There his god waits to welcome him.

BEST STRIKE BREAKER

BOSTON, Mass.-"Billy Sunday is
the best strike breaker the country
has produced" This is the declara-
ton of Roger w. Babson, in the Bos-
ton Post.
There is league to enforce peace
in Philadelphia. 1t is financed by
millionaires. Billy Sunday is the pest
strike breaker the country has pro-
duced, and they are willing to pay
him for strike breaking.
"These men, whom know personal
ly, on the Billy Sunday committees
are the most conservative men alive.
There was going to be a big strike
on rapid transit in Philadelphia, as
know, since employers pay my office
$50 a year apiece to keep them in
formed of labor conditions.
"Our statistical organization collects
for capital rather than for capital and
labor both, for the simple reason that
capital pays us and labor don't.
Some one told the rapid transit
people that Billy Sunday could fix
them up and avert the strike for two
or three years. He does it by preach
ing that it doesn't matter what they
get in this world they can't lay it up
in heaven.
"You have never heard him say
word against corporations and CAPT
talists. He asks what difference it
makes whether you get 81 or SIS
day, so long as you are only to be
here forty years or so, and in hell an
eternity
81 know these ,,.nn, and know they
are men who have never had anything
to do with evangelical work. They

if he hadn't something to deliver be-
sides the gospel"
