TEXAS STEER
SUNDAY NIGHT

On Sunday evening at Valhalla
Theater the fve-reel Selig Red Seal
play "A Texas Steer" adapted from
the famous Hoyt comedy of the sane
name, will be shown. Tyrone Power,
recognized by many seasoned critics
as the foremost American character
actor of the day, assumes the leadin Z
role in this production, that of Nav
the little Selig actress who has risen
to stardom in a few shart months
appears as Bossy Brander.
The story of "A Texas Steer" is
well known to patrons OF the theatre
and is regarded as one of the most
typical American comedies ever writ
ten. 1t deals with the efforts of q
rough and ready westerner who has
been sent to Congress to break into2
the social set in Washington. His
daughter Bossy, is really resposible
for his coming to Washington, be
cause her sweetheart, Capt Bright of
the Army, has been ordered there and
she wishes to be near him. Because
they make a sorry showing alongside
of the well-dressed people AT the cap
ital however, Capt. Bright is reluctant
to take Bossy out and this leads to
quarrel. Maverick Brander has trou-
bles in every form because he believes
the E3sterne's, Ike the Texars, take
things just as they come After hav-
ing many confidence games worked on
him, however. he walcs up and proves
TO be fully as clever as those about
him.
The folks back home in Texas hear
that he has been corrected with a
graft case and send three OF their
number to investigate his doings. The
committee quickly lose track of things

VIM. STARKE IN
AUTO ACCIDENT

While there have been several mar
in this Valley, VIM Starke, it is be-
lieved had the closest call from being
crushed to death beneath his machine
of any accident yet reported. Saturl-
day night, in company with George p.
Dangberg, Mr.. Starke took his recent
ly purchased car, and drove over to
his Centerville resort. On his way
home, and while he was driving very
slowly, he met several Indians on a
bridge crossing branch of the Car
son river between Waterloo and the
Dangberg corner. As explained by
Mr. Starke, his lights were very poor.
and he did not notice the Indians until
they were already on the bridge and
he was nearly so. He attempted to
turn to one side in order that the IN
dians might pass, but misjudged the
distance and the ear plunged over the
bridge, landing bottom side up in the
creek below, a distance of seven feet
or more. In the fall, both Mr.. Starke
and Mr.. Dangberg was thrown partly
clear of the car. Starke's feet were
caught beneath the auto and he could
not move. Mr.. Dangberg managed to
wiggle from under the side of the car
and with the aid of pry, raised the
auto and released Mr.. Starke II was
found that much of the gasoline had
run from the tank and Mr.. Starke's
clothing was completely saturated.
Besides having his ankles quite badly
bruised, Mr.. Starke received a painful
injury to his back but is around again
as usual. Mr.. Dangberg escaped nn-
hurt.
The auto was badly damaged, the
windshield being broken, the steering
wheel and tenders smashed and the
frame slightly sprung.

DEALING WITH MUNITION

of the Associated Press) The first

with interfering with the output of
munitions was dealt with severely
by the local court. The workman.

assaulting another workman because
he was turning out too many shells
The courts sentence of three months
at hard labor was accompanied by
the following statement:
Although you are making % cents
an hour end have constant work. you
are finding fault with a fellow work
man because he is doing his duty 10
his country in its hour of agony.
This assault was committed by YOU
to intimidate him from doing his
work like a man. If this happened
in Germany-although | think that
is hardly possible-you would have
been taken out, put up against wall,
and shot. The same thing would
have happened n France. ! am sorry

This quantity which includes a
considerable amount of oil placed in
field storage since January | (chiehy
in the Mid-Continent region) repre-
sents approximately one half the to-
tai above ground production credited
in 1914 though disclosing a notable
Increase when compared with the
production during the corresponding
period in that year. When it is con
sidered that the average market
value Of crude petroleum at the wells
in the half-year just closed was 40
to 30 percent lower than one year ago
this condition appears somewhat an
omalous. Two factors, however, eX-
plain the situation-Q) Cushing and
C2l new pools.
During the first half of 1914 the
output of petroleum from the prolific
Bartlesville sand in the Cushing field,
Oklahoma, increased from a few hun
dred barrels on January l to nearly
100000 barrels day by the end of
June. During the first half of the
present year, however, the estimated
production from all sands in this
pool has at no time fallen below
200 600 per day, attaining at times an
estimated daily yield as high as 2SO,-
GOO barrels
Though the first half of 1914 wit
messed the opening of the Colmar and
Murphy pools in Illinois and no
table development in the Cushing
and Healdton pools, Oklahoma, the
increased output resulting was more
apparent during the second half of
the year than the first In 1915,
however, the early discovery and
rapid development of the Crichton
pool, Red River parish, Louisiana;
the Thrall pool Williamson county,
Texas and the Strawn pool, Palo
Pinto county, Texas, served to in
crease appreciably the petroleum out
put credited to the first half of the
year.
The persistent food of low priced
but relatively high grade oil from
the Oklahoma fields prevented any
permanent advances, though tempo
rary fluctuations were noted, in the
market for grades of petroleum from
other regions during the half year
in review and the period closed with
fairly steady demand on the basis
of $1.35 for Pennsylvania grade, the
market standard. The corresponding
period Of 1914 recorded a notably un
stable and declining market, prices
of Pennsylvania grade decreasing in
the period from $3.50 to $175 per
barrel
