stripped for a distance of 600 feet
from a surface showing. At this dis
tance the coal will lie at a depth of
80 feet, which is the maximum depth
which Mr.. Carter will attempt to reach
with his great shovel. Ordinary sur
face coal is not stripped below a
depth of twenty feet. 1t is estimated
that it will take six years, at the rate
of 500 tons a day, to exhaust the Wis.,
ible supply on the government land
which Mr.. Carter has contracted to
develop.
Mr.. Carter was formerly president
of the Oklahoma Central railroad be-
fore it was taken over by the Santa
Fe, and lived at Purcell He believes
that enough coal is in Oklahoma alone
to last the entire state for a hundred
years.

No vision and no idea is worth a
copper cent unless it is brought down
10 earth, patiently harnessed, painfully
trained and set to work. There is a
beautiful analogy hat comes often to
my mind. We conceive an idea, as a
child is conceived, in a traLsport of
joy; but after that there are long
months of growth in the close dark
warmth of the soul, to which every
part of ones personality must con-
tribute, and then there is the painful
hour of travail when at last the idea
is given to the world. 1t is a process
that cannot be hurried nor borne
without suffering. And the punish
ment of those who stop with the JOY
of conception, thinking they can skim
the delight of life and avoid its pain,
is the same in the intellectual and
spiritual spheres as it is in the phys
ical-barrenness, and finally terrible
sense of failure and of loneliness

ARE WOMEN NATURALLY
DESPONDENT

A prominent writer so claims.
Women are constituted with a deli
cate organism and in nine cases out of
of ten mental depression may be at
tributed to an abnormal condition of
the system, which expresses itself
in nervousness, sleeplessness, back
ache, headaches, causing constant
misery, and as a result despondency.
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, a simple remedy made from
roots and herbs, is the one great rem
edy for this condition. 1t goes to the
root of the trouble and overcomes
dependency.

FRENCH BENEFIT SOCIETY
FOR WIDOWS OF THE WAR

Paris, August 23.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press Five thou
sand widows of the war have now been
benefited in one way or another
through the Society of Mutual Assist
ance Of the Widows of the War" This
was one of the earliest movements
started for relief of war victims. 1t
was organized August 19, 1914, and a
week later began effective work under
the name of the "Woman's Office at
10, rue de la Vile rEverque.
The "Woman's Office" sought EN-
ployment, not only for widows, but
for women whose husbands were mob
ilized and endeayored by various
means to assist women, whose income
was cut off by the war, in earning
their living. 1t gave no charity, but
made loans to those in immediate
want
From a simple Women's Office, the
movement soon became a Widows Of
fee and was finally re-organized in
to Mutual Association. Its object is
still, not charity, but mutual aid in
finding ways of gaining livelihood
for its members. 1t is patronized by
generous citizens of all religions and
of all political parties. Frederic Mas.
son, the venerable academisian and
historian of the Napoleonic era is d.
recting the organization, while the
Countess of Ribes, who for years had
assisted the orphans of La Villette by
annual sales of knick-knacks, made
in the antique style, organized the
workrooms of the society. Nearly
everything is made in the antique
style and so well made as to rival
real antiquities. Some of the jewel
boxes and glove boxes with miniatures
or ornamental paper are masterpieces
of French art. The widows are max
ing ali kinds of ornamental recepta-
cles. in all forms, and hand bags in
black MORE with carved clasps, pearl
bags with antique clasps, screens lac
quered Japanese chests, fans, hand
painted Christmas cards, etc.
AS fast as the sales grow the mem
bership will be increased, and by or.
ganizing annual sales in the princi-
pal cities of the United States, Can
ada and South America it is hoped
to create a permanent outlet for these
articles that will support consider
able number of afflicted women. The
benefits of this association are rigor-
ously restricted to widows, remar-
riage cancels membership.

DORSET CARTER LANDS
IMMENSE COAL CONTRACT

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. 23.-To
an Oklahoma City man, Dorset Carter,
belongs the distinction of being award
ed one of the largest coal contracts
ever granted by a railroad in Oklaho-
ma. Mr. Carter has just closed deal
with the Katy Railroad company,
whereby he agrees to produce and load
onto cars 500 tons of coal day for a
period of several years.
This vast amount of coal will be
stripped in the vicinity of Lehigh, and
the machinery is now being installed
for the great shovel which will un-
cover the ground above the coal. This
shovel is the largest one in the United
States, having a boom arm of 80 feet,
being able to clear a radius of near
ly 200 feet The capacity of the shovel
is seven cubic yards, equal to seven
ordinary wagon loads.
Mr.. Carter declares that the Okla
homa surface coal fields are the finest
in the United States. Extensive bor-
ings in the Lehigh field have shown
more than a million and half tons
which is easily accessible The land
which will be operated by Mr.. Carter
is five miles from Lehigh, ana COM
prises a strip three miles and half
long. A railroad has been run to the
field from Lehigh. The dip of the
veins is slight, and the coal can be
