HEALDTON PRODUCERS
COMPLAIN OF PRICES

Oklahoma City. Okla, Oct 19.-
Complaint of the Hcaldton oil pro
ducers as to the price OF crude oil has
been in the hands Of the corporation
commission for several days. II was
transmitted by the attorney general,
but as Commissioners Love and Hen
shaw are both in San Francisco and
are not expected to return 10 their
office before Nov. /, the complaint has
not been officially filed, II is the idea
OF Commissioner Humphrey, the only
member now on the job, that the case
should not be set for hearing until a
conference can be had Of the other
members of the commission.
Since to make this complaint was
decided upon the price of oil in the
Healdton field mas advanced i0c a
barrel The present price is 40c. 1t
was expected by persons who favored
invoking the power OF the commission
under the dubious Sec. OF the con
servation law, to fix the price of crude
oil, that the commission ought to name
SOC as the fair market value of the
product Of the wells in the Healdton
field, n the complaint shall not be
heard for several weeks, as seems to
be likely, IT is possible, considering
the rising values Of crude oil all over
the country, that the price of Healdton
crude will naturally reach level
which may justify the commission in
declining to set the case at all on the
ground that the price is fair.

Child's Allowance.

Should boys and girls have their
own allowance, in proportion to the
means Of the parents, as soon as they
are old enough to know the value Of
money? This is what many parent
has said in substance:
Certainly. An allowance is the
best safeguard against the habit of ex-
travagance, if the child is taught to
spend the money judiciously and to
keep a strict account of all expendi-
lures. 1t is absurd to think that a boy
is not capable of buying his own neck
ties or a girl her handkerchiefs. What
If they do make mistakes? They can
be taught to profit by them and they
must learn to rely upon themselves
sooner or later. Children like to be
trusted and will seldom betray conf
dence."

HAD CONFIDENCE IN PEOPLE
California Newsboy Lost Nothing by
Trusting to the Honesty of
His Customers.

Most people are honest; so, at least,
reasons a newsboy in a California
town, and he has clear justification for
his confidence. The reporter of the
following incident was in downtown
drug store when a stranger came in
with copy of newspaper, and asked
change for a dime. He said that he
wanted to pay for his newspaper.
Someone remarked that for his part
he let the newsboys find their own
change.
"This newsboy cannot do it," said
the man with the newspaper. Come
out here and look at him" Two or
three bystanders stepped to the door,
expecting to see a crippled boy with a
pile Of newspapers to sell. Instead
they saw tin can with q hole in the
top large enough to admit a nickel;
a pile of newspapers lying upon the
walk, and a card fastened to the can,
reading;
"Gone to Sunday school for one
hour. If you want paper take one,
and put your nickel in the can"
The can and pile of newspapers
stood unprotected on the walk for
more than an hour, while their little
owner was at Sunday school Men who
passed by and were attracted by the
rather odd little news stand would
stop, read the sign, pick up a paper
and put a nickel-and sometimes a
dime-into the little tin can. When the
found all his newspapers gone, and
more nickels in the tin can than there
were papers when he left.-Youth's
