The possibility that George Hughes,

TURN FIELD To NORTH

Oilton, oct 26.-Co-operation be-
tween the two principal branches Of
the Methodist church, the Methodist
Episcopal and the M e, South, has
just been demonstrated In this por-
tion Of the oil field through the yield
ing Of the latter to the former to

though members of the Methodist
Episcopal were in the majority here,
the M. e. South has had charge with

agreement was reached to turn this
field over to the Methodist Episcopal
church and Rev. r. d. Cook was as.

CAME IN STATE MORE
PLENTIFUL THAN IN YEARS
SOME WANT LEGISLATURE TO
STOP HUNTING ALTOGETHER
FOR ONE YEAR

During no time in the past ten
years has game been so plentiful as
right now in Logan county" said
Jake Ellinger, of the east part of the
county, who is here today "Quail in
particular, are plentiful he added.
When the Oklahoma hunting season
opens, Nov. /, hunters, according to
all reports, will be greeted with the
best sport in years. For two years an
effort has been made to breed up
luails and wild turkeys until now the
famous hunting preserves of Oklaho-
ma are literally teeming with fat
birds and "gobblers."
Also, there is a greater abundance
of large game than for number of
years. The best hunting preserves for
large game this year are the Kiamichi
in southern Oklahoma, and
the Usage reservation, long favorite
haunt Of hunters.
There is some talk of asking the
legislature, should it meet in January,
to stop all hunting within the borders
Of Oklahoma next year, in order to
permit birds and animals still further
to multiply, that their future existence
in Oklahoma be not menaced.

BE EWARE Of THE
IDOL THAT LURES
YOU FROM CHRIST
DIR. SMILEY DELIVERS GREAT
ADDRESS ON BENEFIT or
REVEALS

The gist of the lesson given Mon
day night by DR. Smiley, forcibly and
clearly, convincingly and in a digni-
fled manner, was based on the great
revival which Paul organized among
the few dead and sleeping Christians
at Ephesus. CAet 1919. Especial
ly applicable was the big bond fire
which followed the celebration b1
that church after the revival. The
people Of that old idol worshiping
towa gathered together all manner
OF vile and corrupt and unholy trash.
The record tells about the fire con-
suming stuff which was estimated to
be worth about $4,000 in coin OF the
realm. But no $4,000 would cover
the value Of the vile and devilisn
trash which might be heaped on the
bond fire which 2 good revival would
start in Grthrie
Tnat old Ephesian town was turn
ed upside down as the result Of
Paurs revival A like revival and an
awakening among the Guthrie church
memters would cause just such a
bond fire as was experienced in that
olden time. Such a revival would
cause some Of the churches to be

published since October l total 2,2S5
officers and 50G72 non-commission-

These figures show an average
loss to the British army Of nearly .
500 men a day. This is considerably
in excess of the casualties early in
the war and reflects the heavy losses
of the British in the recent severe
fighting in Belgium. During the sum-
mer the losses averaged about l 500
daily. In April and May, when the
heaviest fighting at the Dardanelles
was in prograss, the daily average
was about 1000.
