ARDMORE, Okla, Jan. l9.-The
Gilmer Oil company is taking oil from
two wells in 6-4-3, adjoining the j. r.
Crosbie lease, and putting it in steel
storage Crosbie is running the oil
from his lease to the new refinery and
storage at Ardmore. The Gilmer wells
have been shut in for some time, and
1t is said they have greatly decreased
in production as a result. The cor
poration commission made a verbal
order in October that no more oil
should be stored, but it is understood
the order was never enforced.

"Tankic," Quitting Work.

special to The Word.
CUSHING, okla, Jan. I19.-It is re
ported here this afternoon that more
than four hundred tank builders,
members of the Boilermakers' union,
will quit work.
The strike throughout the United
States Is general, and it is the belief
of oil men here that cessation Of
tank building will mean a general
shutdown Of the oil fields.
The principal reason for the strike
seems to be on the ground that the
union men do not care to work along
side permit men.
Last summer the "tankies" who to-
day are striking were working every
hour in the day that they cared for,
and some Of them were earning as
high as SIS a day.

ME most eventful incident in
my railroad experience: Well,
the thing that bothers Inc most,

49,
the thing hat bothers me most,
even today, many years after
1t occurred, was II in which l was in
no personal danger.
l was station agent in a little town
Oh the A., Y. and y. railroad. The sta
ton was ut n end OF a bridge across
Il narrow, but deep, river. In low wa
ter 1T was rather a gorge than a stream.
One wild night when the rain had been
pouring all day l noticed that the wa
ter was up to the stringers. l took my
lantern and Went on to the bridge.
Going part way across l felt Il tremor,
and. after hunting for the cause, saw
that one of the piers was weak.
Then l began to think in a hurry.
No train would go over that bridge
without going down. | was SO terror
stricken that for some time, though l
was familiar with the time Of every
train. | couldn't for my life remember
from what direction the first train
would come, but by an effort l con-
trolled myself. and 1t came to me that
In fifteen minutes one was due at the
station coming from across the river,
/ while from the other direction none
was due for more than two hours. The
thing for me to do was to cross the
bridge and signal the first train.
Over the ties, beneath which the wa
ter was boiling against the stringers,
l ran as rapidly as ii l We're on Il dirt
road. AS soon rs l had passed off
the bridge l sped down the track so
that l might head off the rain as far
as possible from the danger. l had
gone only a hundred yards from the
bridge and was tearing along like mad
when suddenly l tumbled into a cattle
guard. | was pretty badly hurt, but
this was not what troubled me. My
lantern fell to the bottom Of the exca-
walton and went out.
l CROPPED for the lantern. but couldn't
find it. l suppose I was too excited to
look carefully. But l gathered my
faculties and hunted on till l got it.
The next question was how to relight
it. l felt in all my pockets and at last
found one match.
Talk about the value of a drop of
water to one dying of thirst, Il crust
Of bread to one famished! l doubt if
either water or bread could ever seem
as valuable to any as that match
seemed to me. How was I to strike 1t
without danger of its being blown out
before l could relight the lantern
There was no protection near, and
hadn't time to 90 hunting for any.
knew the train would pass the spot
where l was in less than ten minutes
The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1915-01-15
THE LAST MATCH cnArsos =, GORDON

and l relight that lantern within
that time. However. / had the good
sense to first put a greater interval be-
tween me and the bridge before taking
any other action and ran on a quarter
OF a mile, stopping in a cut half a
dozen feet deep. There I was, with
one match in my pocket with which
to save the lives OF Il whole train load
Of people and only about five minutes
In which to start a flame.
Somehow by this time | had gathered
my faculties completely. l determined
that nothing but IL complete driving
from my mind Of the situation would
enable me to plan, and with n supreme
effort mastered my excitement and
became perfectly cool. Should l try to
relight the lantern directly from the
Ematch or try to light Il fire? l felt in
my pocket and found Il few scraps Of
paper-news c~lippings-and some let
ters. There IA also a lead pencil.
Taking off my coat, l set it up in the
middle Of the track in tent-like fashion,
though the wind forced me to hold on
to it to keep it from being blown away.
l next crumpled the bits Of newspaper
and laid them IN the tie, which, though
wet. was not much In contact with the
paper. My next move was to crumple
the letters and lay them On the clip
pings. All this l did, holding the coat
in position. Finally I split my lead
pencil into strips.
! had now taken every possible pre-
caution to secure Il blaze and was
ready to strike my match when heard
the whistle Of the approaching train.
Calling up all my resolution to with
stand acting hastily, l took out my
match and scratched it on my sleeve.
/ At the same moment a fresh gust Of
wind came. and | had no sooner light
ed a corner of one of the bits of paper
than the match went out.
How l kept the blaze from going out
also by putting one bit of paper OIL top
Of another, finally taking a piece OF the
lead pencil and securing such a flame
as l dared put into the lantern is now 4
mystery to me. Nevertheless I succeed
ed and, examining the top down on the
lantern, signaled, without thirty sec.
onds to spare. Then, when l had ex.
planned matters to the engineer, l dash
cd way to signal the next train due
from the opposite direction.
The bridge went down before morn.
ing. but no one was injured by its col
lapse. Indeed, l was benefited. for !
received my biggest promotion.
Since that day l have always carried
a full box of matches. and whenever
find the stock getting low I replenist
it. 4 match to me is the most valuable
thing in the world.

THE ATTIC ST0RER00M.
Best Results Are Obtained by Treating
II systematically.


Divide the attic or storeroom into
sections, placing trunks and various
articles to the best advantage. For
instance, If you have certain pieces OF
furniture which are really good and
are worth preserving and which you
hope some day to have done over"
and mended. arrange the larger pieces
against the wall, the smaller ones
stacked up in front so that they will
be easy of access when they are
needed.
Those pieces which are upholstered
should be carefully brushed before
they are taken to the attic, and then
the upholstery should be literally
sprinkled with camphor balls, protect
ed with several layers Of paper and
covered over with muslin.
The other wall space can be utilized
for trunks-those which are empty and
are held in readiness for a journey be-
ing more conveniently situated, others
which are only used for packing away
clothing once or twice Il year being
placed in the rear. The upper wall
spaces should be used for shelves to
hold boxes.

SUBMARINE FOOLS 0 E
Sets Adrift Decoy P%eriscopes to De.
ceive Enemy's Ships.

Such things exist as decoy p%eriscopes

periscope. The submarine sets them
adrift for you to find-sometimes scat
tiers several of them.
When one is sighted o cannot stop
to consider whether the little object
dancing ON the sea half n mile or so
distant does or does not mean $50
pounds OF high explosive coming
straight at you. Maybe you will see

way that carries conviction that it
does. You don't dare to take any
chances and So you train all the guns

OF sea tragedies comes to an end.-Park

In and Out of the Children S Playroom
SEND A CIPHER MESSAGE.
How Boy Scouts and Others Can Com
municate With Each Other.

Suppose that you wanted to send the
following message: I'VE cannot hold
out long. Send help immediately"
First write your message. giving
plenty of space between each word,
as:
We cannot hole. out long.
Send help Immediately.
Now fill up the spaces with other
words so as to form an Ineligible
message and yet only understood by
those furnished with the key. Now
we will fill. UP the spaces, thus:
My Dear Jack-We are surprised
you Cannot get any n to Hold the
friendly hand Out to you for Long. l
will gladly Send my brother to Help,
Let me know Immediately. Capitals
are only used here to make it clearer.)
The key is found in the first three
words. You will notice that there are
three words between each word of the
real message.
If only two words are between each
word of the real message then YOU
would start with two words only-that
is, Dear Jack.-Scout.

Rearing the Child.

It is bitter medicine, but the one
thing needed most in the human soul
is discipline.
1t is we'll to have force, genius, vigor.
enthusiasm, love, power, but you may
have them and be a criminal, q maniac
or a cad. You become great only when
to these you add self control.
The latest movement in education Is
toward developing the initiative of tho
child. This can hardly be carried too
far. And the old, stupid method of
thwarting, denying and browbeating
little ones just for the sake Of disci.
pline cannot be too roundly condemned.
But for all that there Is danger that
in our new eagerness to find and bring
out the child's forces we may forget
the prime need Of strengthening his
self denial.-Dr. Frank Crane in Wo.
