The stockholders of the Mustang
Oil Co. have been called in special
session to discuss a proposition to
dispose of the balance Of the unused
stock of the company. Kansas City
capitalists represented by S. G. Chris
topher, who visited the field two weeks
ago, have taken a sufficient amount of
the stock to raise $500, the amount
needed to fully complete the work of
development now in contemplation and
the officers feel very sanguine over the
prospects. The company now has all
the material on the ground or on the
way between Lamar and the oil field
to start active drilling operations at
once, and all that was needed was to
secure capital enough to insure the
future of the work. A considerable
amount of additional stock has been
sold in Lamar the past few days and
this with the Kansas City money
makes all the capital needed. Work
will now commence at once and be
pushed rapidly Those who have in
vestigated the proposition and the
work already done are very optimistic
that something big will happen there
at any minute. All the experts agree
that the oil is there and the only gam
BILE is as to the quantity.

LIVE STOCK MARKET

While 5000 hogs reached the market
today, fully $500 were direct to
packers. The small run brought out
an active call with values generally
Zoe to 15c higher on the better grades.
The top was ST. the first time this
price has been realized in some weeks.
However, this was scratch sale and
was forced by few city butchers in
order to secure sorted, choice hogs of
nice weights to meet their require
ments. The bulk of the good hogs
sold at $6.70 to $500, with the roughs
at Sc to $6.25. The pig market was
strong; 100 to lao pounds bringing
$6.25 to $3.50; 80 to 115 pounds Sc
to 1925 and the peewees at SIS.
Owing to an unusually light supply
of cattle this week the trade was
shown a substantial advance of SOC
to Toe per cwt. Gamers have not
shown any improvement nor has stock
cattle of any character. There is lit
tie or no demand for stocker stuff,
owing to the limited territory to which
we can now ship and for the time be-
ing they are a class to keep at home.
We look for moderate receipts and
a pretty fair demand the balance of
the week on both cattle and hogs,
though we are still somewhat handi-
capped as to the Eastern order de-
mand as not all of the cities East of
us are receiving stock but we expect
to see this remedied in few days.
Sheep receipts were also light to-
day with theimarket 15c to Csc high
er all around. Top lambs sold at
So; good to choice ewes $6.75 to 81;
bucks S575, with choice light year
ling wethers bringing $50 today.

To the Editor of The Pennington
Times.
Mr.. Editor:-I received one Of Mr..
Graves letters some two or three
weeks ago. | have known and been
associated with Mr.. F. P. Graves for
more than so years, and there never
was a man that was more loyal to the
people of st. Francois county than
Mr.. Graves. He has not only be-
friended the laboring men, the poor
men, but has also been of great SER
vice to the business and professional
men of this county, and l think it is
very unbecoming and very unfair for
any one to question Mr.. Graves hon
esty as it seems to have been done,
for we who know Mr.. Graves best,
know that he would not be a party
to anything that was not absolutely
straight and fair, and it is useless for
anyone to insinuate otherwise because
| know whereof ! speak. l am not
only speaking my own sentiments,
but / am speaking the sentiments of
the whole people, for l have talked
with many and many person and
they feel as l do, that a wrong done
to Mr.. Graves, is a wrong done to all.
l hope it will not be long before
Mr.. Graves will be back with US, and
enjoying good health as he once did,
for if there is any man that the peo-
pie of st. Francois county love, it is
Mr.. F. P. Graves, for he has been a
friend to all, and we laboring men
can never forget the many, many kind
deeds that he has shown to us, and |
hope the many kind favors that he
has extended to others will be appre-
ciated by them as they are and were
by US laboring people.
A FRIEND.

The following story of heroism as
related by a missionary is striking.
Mr.. Tilok is a well-known oriental
Christian.
"He had been staying at Panch-
gam all the season. This place is
IL miles from Mahableshwar and he
wished to visit the latter place, as
Dr. Hume and most of the mission
aries were there Learning this I
told him we would send our convey
ance for him half way, as he said he
would like to walk five or six miles.
On the way, before he reached the
'tauga,' which we sent for him, he
left the road and walked under the
trees and through the fields. Sudden
ly cobra raised itself before him.
He thought that his last moments had
come. He quietly slipped a notebook
and pencil from bis pocket and stand
ing quite still wrote the following:
~ az have met my death by
cobra bite.
(2) "'My daughter, Tara, win fin
ish my Christyan.
(3) "'My last thoughts are for the
blessing on DR.. Hume and family.
(4) "I pray for all the Christian
church of India
with this he closed his eyes, ex-
pecting every moment to be his last.
When his prayer was finished and he
opened his eyes, the cobra was gone.
''Now, there is nothing accidental
about this, Is there? A slight move
ment would have probably been his
death, but it is only an oriental, |
think, who would not make some effort
to leave the scene"
The Christian is a metricdl life of
Christ which he is putting the best
effort of his life upon.

"Soochow is known as one of the
most conservative and peacable cities
of all China. So far as the war itself
is concerned it has not affected us at
all. In some parts Of China the work
has been hindered, but not here. There
are about eighty missionaries in 500
chow, and all are Americans, SO we
and all our people enjoy peace.
In a financial way the whole world
is affected. In this respect we have
been handicapped, perhaps, as little
as any part Of our great mission field.
In response to the boards request to
spend just as little as possible, we
have used every means of economy.
No new work is being carried on, and
some repairs that are very much need
ed are being left undone. We appre-
ciate fully the stressed condition of
the board, and are doing all we can
to help in this financial crisis.

Germany has brought forth the
censure and condemnation of the civ
ilized world by sowing the peaceful
seas and the highways of commerce
with dangerous mines that threaten
death to the crews of American and
other ships which, in the peaceful and
legitimate discharge of their usual
duties, are required to navigate the
High Seas. She has violated not on
ly international laws, but treaties
which she signed several years ago.
But her disregard for treaty obliga-
tions has been shown in her manner
of Belgian invasion, and as Express
ident Roosevelt has said, Treaties
are not worth the paper on which
they are written" seems to be abso-
lutely true so far as Germany is con-
cerned. The history of past wars
shows, that, where a combatant is
unfair, INSCRIPTIONS and not governed
by devoutness and justice that in the
end due share of punishment, if not
humiliation, is melted out to it as its
full measure Of retribution resulting
from disrespect for life, property and
justice. ts .;.a..

About sixty years ago q promising
young missionary, at home on fur
Tough, was accidentally burned to
death. He left a wife and several
small children. In order to care for
her little family the wife has during
the years since her husbands death,
eked out her income by giving music
lessons. A few days ago the follow
ing letter was received at foreign
board room from this devoted Chris
tian woman:
"The struggle to keep my little fam
lily together has been very hard, es-
pecially so at times, but each year
the Heavenly Father has helped me
through. All this time l have put
aside one tenth of whatever has come
to me. l have been so thankful
to God for helping me, and for letting
me have nine-tenths of whatever He
has given me, aksnig me to give back
to Him only one-tenth for His work,
that | have been saving that tenth
with the desire to get an amount large
enough to apply it to some definite
need on the field where my husband
labored, for of course l love those peo-
pie best of all.
"But fully understand how essen
tial it is that money be ready for i'm
mediate use in China, and so l am
taking from my fund to send to you
for China"

not willing"
