The Producers Refining Company
remains very active in the construction
work of its refinery, pipe line, and
pump station and hopes to be ready to
begin taking oil by the first day of Oc-
tober. An engine for the pump sta
tion and one pump has arrived, and
contracts have been let for hauling
them out from Wilson One receiving
tank has been completed, another is
under construction and the third tank
has been ordered in. While this com
pany has the contract to take as
much as 1900 barrels a day, the com
pany believes that it will be able to
take as much as 12,50O barrels as
soon as the line is in operation.

The Four Lines.

The purchases of the Gainesville
pipe line are expected to aggregate
as much as 12,5OO barrels day, the
Magnolia can be depended upon to
take about $4,000 barrels, the Crosbie
line will carry about 1000 barrels, and
the Thelma line ought to be able to
handle about 500 barrels. This will
give the field a pipe line capacity of
80, 900 barrels. The Producers line to
Gainesville can handle 5000 barrels
more if they should find market for
that quantity of oil without treating it
the field a pipe line capacity of 41,000
barrels day.

What Will Roxana Do?

Another hope for a Letter price
lies in the Roxana deal. Efforts to
obtain information as to the line of
procedure this company would take
have been futile. 1t is claimed that
the company will not sell oil at soc;
that it will build storage tanks and
a pipe line and care for its own oil.
That is information that does not
come from the company. But the
producers might analyze this company
about this way: The RoXana is the
producing end in Oklahoma of the
Royal Dutch Shell. The Royal Dutch
Shell makes its money in the refinery
end of the business. The producing
company will be made to serve the
best interests of the parent company.
That means that the RoXana will not
work for higher prices. 1t will be
content to see the price stay where
it is.

Mr.. Thwing says that he can pay
75c for Gushing oil and make more

Healdton crude at SOC. His company
does not expect to pay more than the
Magnolia pays for oil So those who
have been expecting the Producers
Refining company to raise the pric :
on the amount they take over and
above $500 barrels contracted, will
be disappointed.
Magnolia Says.
The Magnolia says it can pay S5c
for Gushing oil and make more out
of it than it can out OF Healdton oil
at soc. That indicates that the Mag
rolia is not going to make any rush
about raising the price. The Mag
nolia claims that Gushing oil has
been forced up on account of so
many people putting oil in storage for
speculative purposes and that oil
there really should not be selling
so high.

The best of all the friends l have

And sits beside my fireplace
When candles are alght;
And lets his soul commune with mine
While the red embers glow;
And with me dreams again the things
Of the far long ago.
There's something sort of soothing JUS
In having a fellow round;
If you like him, sure he needn 7

For his presence sOothes and comforts
And warns you like cloak;
And he needn't even whisper
If he'll look at you-and smoke.
And so I line my good old pipe
With "Velvet" to the brim
When Joe comes in to visit me
And | commune with him.
For though no word is spoken, yet

And silence has thousand tongues,
All known to me-and Joe.

Poets Sing Praise of
Dainty Mince Pie

Mince pie, which nowadays is re-
garded simply as a Christmas dainty,
suitable for the table of any household
which can afford it, was once a sub
iect of religious controversy and q
bone of contention between political
parties.
The English Puritans considered
mince pie as distinctly anti.C Christian
or at least as anti-Puritan. They re-
fused to refer to it by the name of
Christmas pie, by which title it had
been called from its first appearance
on the Christmas board, and first gave
it the name of mince pie One poet
writes of the prohibited pie as follows:
"All plums the prophet g sons deny,
And spice broths are too hot,
Treason S in q December pie
And death within the pot"
Another poet thus celebrates the
Puritan point of view:
''The high-shoe lords of Cromwell s
making
Were not for dainties.roasting baking
The chiefest food they found most
SOOd IN,
Was rusty bacon and bag pudding
Plum broth was popish, and mince pie
o, that was flat idolatryF"
The Quakers later adopted the preiu
dice of the Puritans, and many persons
believed that clergymen, at least, should
not partake Of the mince pie.
AS early as 1896 mince pies, ther
known as mutton pies, were a part OF
the Christmas banquetting. Meats
tongue was later used in place of the
mutton in these pies, which otherwise
included much the same materials as
those which make up to mince pies OF
today, Nowadays the meat part Of
the mince pie is supplied by lean beet
and beef suet, instead of mutton OF
neats-tongue. One of the verse writers
Of the period thus chants of the
pastry:

To the swinging bugfe song;
All staunch and true in his suit of blue.
And sturdy, brave and strong.
Mid the tramp of feet and the loud
drum-beat
And the ringing of the cheers,
There were none to see such a one as
she
Who could not see for tears.
And back again came the marching
men,
With the bugle singing still;
Yet the music S surge was signing

All sad and slow and shrill,
For woman wept; and a soldier slept
In the dreamlcss silent sleep;
And the bugle-song had measure
wrong
For the buglers sometimes weep.
And the buglers' lure while the years
endure
Will coax them TO the line.
And the lifting strains on the hills and
plains
Still echo fair and fine.
But the suits of blue, aud the sabers
too,
And the worn and battered caps
win tell some maid what the bugle

"Come guard the Christmas pie,
That the thief, though ne 'er so sly,
With his flesh-hoo don't come nigh,
To catch it.
From him. who all alone sits there,
Having his eyes still in his ear,
And deal of nightly fear,
To watch it.
Modern cooks in making mince meat
frequently leave out some of the in
gradients which were used by the
women whose mince pies were con-
sidered the topmost pinnacle Of per-
feetion in this luxury. But mince meat
to be worth while at all must be rich,
and it is not well to economize too
much in its mixing. Here is a recipe
which has served some famous cooks to
the contentment of their families:
Two pounds beef heart or lean fresh
beef boiled; two pounds beef suet
chopped fine; four pounds apples, pre-
ferably greetings, chopped fine; two
pounds raisins, also chopped, and seed
ed before chopping (the seedless
raisins are now much used, of course);
two pounds currants; two pounds sugar,
preferably brown sugar; one quart
brandy; one quart white wine; wine
glassful rosewater; two grated nut
megs; one-half ounce cinnamon; one
quarter ounce cloves; one-quarter ounce
mace; two large oranges, the juice and
grated peel; one teaspoonful salt.
Mince meat is always the better for
being kept some time before it is used.
Put away in stone jars and it will last
nicely throughout the winter. It is al
ready time to make it ready for the
holiday, so that its many ingredients
may be properly blended on the day of
the feast.

THE FORCE OF EXAMPLE, AND DEMOCRACY

The force of example is illustrated in the case of the
president and Mrs. Wilson selecting Hot Springs as ,e
place for their honeymoon Yesterday the dispatches
mentioned the fact that six other honeymooners had f
lowed the distinguished couples example and regis
tered at the same hotel In this connection this is sug
gese of the difference between the head of the American
government and that of any European country for
the free and home of unaduerated democracy fresh off
the ba these six couples sent an invitation to the pres
dent and wife to walk into the dining and take
Christmas cheer with them What done not known
at this writing but the dispatch stated that the request
wife will dine with the plain American citizens This is
right and in accord with democratic ideas and
practces but in what other country would the private
Individual have thought of doing such thing the ruler
what ever his title, have considered accepting?
The chances are against any man ever becoming
president but under system who knows but that some
one of these six who asked the president to dine with them
may sometime occupy that position?
