A BOOST FOR
GOOD ROADS
THIS EVENING
MAYOR INVITES EVERY BUSINESS
MAN IN THE CITY TO COME OUT
AND HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO
SAY RELATIVE TO GOOD ROADS.

Every citizen who is interested in
good roads is expected to be at the
city hall tonight at the mass meeting
called by the mayor who has a propo-
stion that has been accepted by the
board OF county commissioners, pro-
vided the city will come through with
its part
The plan of working state convicts
on the roads OF the state has proven
an unqualified success in many coun-
ties where tried, and this county needs
just such roads as those being built
by the department of highways, thinks
the mayor, who has been working on
this plan for several days.
The city, out of the street fund. has
pledged $500 each of the county com
missioners have pledged $1,000 each
from the three commissioners dis
tricts, to be spent in those districts,
and now the mayor desires to raise by
popular subscription as much as fifteen
hundred dollars which would make a
fund of $4,000 to pay for keeping the
convicts at work in this city and
county for at least five months. THE
city has been asked to donate toward
repairing the road from here to the
oil fields on many occasions said the
mayor, but the money has been of lit
tie permanent value, as the first heavy
rains washed the roads out as badly
if not worse than they were in their
original state
81 propose to have permanent roads
if the people of the city will back
me UT in my plans; they will be built
under state supervision and will be
permanent When l first broached the
subject, the people were pleased with
the plan and | believe that we can
raise our share of the funds to main
tain the prisoners while they are at
work in this county"
The mayor invites every citizen in
the city to express himself tonight,
and he believes that Ardmore will do
her part toward building permanent
roads in the county.

have strong grounds for believing
that the conference Thursday even.
tually will decide upon recognition
of the Carranza government.
Immediate action to relieve popular
distress n Mexico City appears to
be generally accepted as one certain
result of the presidents plans as to
Mexico. Should negotiations with the
Mexican leaders fail to open and keep
open the road to the capital from
Vera Cr"z, it is predicted freely that
American troops and marines may be
assigned to the task, possibly in CO.

American countries.
Eighteen or is enty carloads of food
for MeXi.'o City are held up at Oriz-
aba, acc )rding &C official dispatches,

Advices to the Carranza agency
Wednesday nigh, said General Emil
iano Nafflrete, commandant at Mata-
morOs, had established patrons to
prevent bandits from crossing the
border to plumber American ranches.
Naffarete will cooperate with the
United states troops to destroy these
bandit gangs, the message said.

osyoen Stored Without Pressure.

BY the use of some Of the CONNER
cial preparations of fused sodium per
oxide oxygen can now be stored w>th
out pressure. This substance has the
property Of holding oxygen in chem
ical bonds. from which it is released
by the action of water. A pound OF
the peroxide will hold 90 cubic feet
of gas, or enough to supply the breath
ing requirements of man for 80 min
utes. The application Of this discov-
cry to diving and life saving appli-
ances is said to be entirely practical,
since the sodium peroxide, while hard,
is not brittle, and can be cast into any
convenient shape. When charged with
oxygen It may be stored without dan
ger of deterioration II protected from
moisture.-Popular Mechanics.

Outlook is Encourauino.

Two advances in the price of oil.
one of ten cents and one of five cents,
are very encouraging to those who
are in the producing business. The
first move that was made to indicate
that oil would be in better demand
was the lowering Of the price of oil
well casing. On reduction Of 10c was
quickly followed by another reduction
of the same amount, and men who
have been in tie business for many
years BEGAN to look out then for bet.
ter prices. Price reductions in sup
plies encourage wildcatting and wild
eating Is encouraged when an oil
scarcity is ahead. The nsxt evidence
was the advance in price, and there
will be another advance of five cents
in the n"rthern fields before the end
of the current month. By September
l oil will be selling in the northern
portion O. the state at 60c.
While the price here has received
no advacce yet the situs tion is not
without its encouraging features to
local producers. There is no COM
petition locally, there is not suffic-
lent pipe line capacity to care for the
production, and while that condition
exists there is not much hope for an
advance in loca! prices. 1t is rea-
sonable, however TO presume that be-
fore the end of the year the price
will start upward at Healdton and
there are those who express the opin-
ion that there will be an advance
between now ard October.

Paden Well Put to Test.

Material has been sent down to the
Prairie Oil and Gas company test in
section S-12-7 and the well will be put
to pumping. They will have to pump
the water and flow the well. The well
has been making some oil the past few
days but it has been badly cut. Mr.. ].
c, Bennett of the Prairie force gives
it as his opinion that the sand found
in this test, namely 1892 to 27O7 feet,
is the Layton sand. He says at looks
like Layton oil" This would throw
the Bartlesville sand at around $500
feet.
The Prairie is moving in a rig and
will drill a test Oh the location made
by them in section 12-13-7, Laura
Lafayette farm. This test is 10 miles
north of the above we'll
The strongest flow of gas and oil
made since the opening of the Paden
test occurred Tuesday at ten o'clock
when the normal flow of oil was so
great that the overflow pipes from the
50O-barrel tank to the 1900 barrel tank
were insufficient to handle the oil and
as a result a large quantity of oil
was wasted. The flow of the gas was
also very strong and for an hour and
forty-five minutes the well had every
appearance of being a gusher.

WASHINGTON, Az &. 4.-Unusual activ-
ity in the war and navy departments
was evident Wednesday and an order
from General Scott chief of staff.
directing battery from the Fifth
Field Artillery to proceed from Fort
Sill, Okla, to El Paso, Texas, aroused
considerable surprise. At the war de-
partment it was stated that the ar
tillery was ordered at the request of
the state department. Secretary Ian
sing said he knew nothing about it.
Other denartment officials, however,
said the action was prompted by a
| desire to have the Mexican border
well guarded particularly in view of
recent up"isings at different points.
Plans for thursdays conference at
the stata departn ent on the Mexican
problem were completed Wednesday
after Secretary Lansing had talked
to President Wilson at Cornish, n.
H., over the telephone. Proposals
that are to be made to the six Latin
diplomats whose governments have
authorized them to cooperate with
the United States to end Mexico's
civil wa, were discussed but Secre-
tary Lansing maintained silence as
to the program outlined.
