BETTER DAYS HAVE COME
Oil Experts Say Oklahoma Will Have
S1.50 Oil by January I.

The oil writer on The Tulsa World
is predicting $3.50 oil by the first of
the year, and this optimism is being
shared generally by the men in the
business. Better days have come,
and the man who spends his all in
drilling into the bowels of the earth
ter rewards for his labor and for his
risks
w. H. Peck, oil writer on The Tulsa
Democrat, is jubilant over recent ad-
vances, and on last Tuesday, when
the second advance came within two
days time, Mr.. Peck said in The
Democrat:
"a second advance of ten cents in
the price of Oklahoma crude oil was
announced in Tulsa this morning by
the Prairie Oil e. Gas company. The
raise proved a sensation among the
oil men, coming within one day of
the ten-cent advance of yesterday.
The price is now $1.2O a barrel.
THE suspicion that oil would ad-
vance again before Christmas seems
to have been well founded. In fact,
I told you So and with good reasons.
1T is only a question of a know
ledge of the market conditions and
here in Tulsa is the place to get
posted 1t is here that many big re-
nneries are located, and Oklahoma is
rapidly becoming the absolute center
of the oil industry, and not Pittsburgh
or Oil City
The chances are it will take a day
or two at least to readjust the market
conditions, or in other words, prices
in other fields to correspond with our
recent advance here, after which an
other raise of at least 20 cents can
confidently be expected
Runaway Market.
There is nothing to it but "a run
away market" This phrase has been
adopted by refiners and pipe line
people generally and it means that
so great is the pressure of buying or
ders that the market has broken away
from the big monopoly and is rapidly
soaring beyond even the celebrations
of the biggest oil concerns in the
world
Now and then one finds a man
thoroughly conversant with the mar
kets of all nations, who realizes the
tremendous dearth Of oil, caused by
the European war, and also the more
than unheard of demand caused by
consumption here at home. To him
the situation is no surprise whatever,
and he looks for s. oil in five years,
with all the confidence in the world.
This was the testimony of Joseph
Cullinan, who, as everybody knows,
is a veritable wizard in oil-the man
who built the Texas company in a
few years. and who foresaw the won
derfu' demand to which this country
would have to respond. He predicted
that the government would forbid the

OPTIMISM PREVAILS
TuIsan Looks for Big Prices and a
Fast Growing Town.

\ Tulsan, who is a producer in the
Healdton field is greatly encouraged
over the outlook for the oil industry.
He said today: Market conditions
We're never better in the history of
the oil business, consumption of oil
right now is greater than the produc-
ton, stocks are being reduced, re-
fineries do not know just where their
oil for operation is going to come
from, gasoline is higher than it ever
was before and buyers are eager and
are taking all the petroleum products
that are in sight Prices are bound
to go higher. Better profits are ahead
of the oil men. Prices locally will
get better soon. In the Glenn pool
and at Taneha no premiums are be-
ing paid and there is very little oil
there which has higher gravity than
the oil produced in section in the
SO gravity, yet oil in those districts Is
selling for $12O a barrel, and it is
freely predicted that it will be selling
there for $1.5O before the first of
the year With these conditions pre-
vailng there, it is easy to see that
better prices will prevail here within
a short time. When oil goes to a
dollar. you cant hold this town. The
boys will have their pockets stuffed
with money, and they will be easy
spenders. You will see some hand
some buildings started here, and II
will be an easy matter for Ardmore
to carry out any plan it attempts to
make better city"

WOMAN'S COURT.

California has court composed en-
tirely of women. This is probably the
first OF its kind in the United States.
The cases which this court will consid-
er will be those affecting children.
The judge. the clerk, the baIliff and
the reporter are all women. 1t seems
so very reasonable that the misde-
meanors of children should be the
special province of a woman's court.
1t is generally recognized that children
are the natural care of women and an
over .fathered court is worse possibly
than an over-fathered home.

PALM ER-JONES.

| Thursday morning at nine O'Clock
Mr.. William Plamer and Miss Nora
Jones were quietly married by Rev. L.
A. Hurst in the presence OF few in
vited friends at the home of the brides
parents.
The bride wore beautiful blue suit,
with lovely white Georgette crepe
blouse and becoming black hat. while
her only attendant, Miss Eula Bishop,
wore a dark brown suit, trimmed with
black braid and fur and a black hat to
match. The groomsman was MIR.
Ernest Burnett.
The bridal couple and friends attend
ed the Thanksgiving sermon in the
congregational church IN the morning
and the newly welded couple left for
Nashville on the afternoon traln. The
bride and groom returned from Nash
vi lie on the afternoon train Sunday and
sumptuous dinner was served to a
few friends at the Jones residence.
The bride is the only daughter OF Mr.
and Mrs. E. b. Jones and is admired
and respected by all who know her.
For several months she has been
working assistant in the bank here
and will continue to hold that position
until spring.
The groom came here few weeks
ago as age mt for stave company and
soon met Miss Jones; between them at
once sprang up strong attachment
which eliminated IN their marriage as
stated. 1t came as something of a
surprise to their friends but hearty
congratulations were not lacking be-
cause of that. Mr.. Palmer has won
numerous friends during his short stay
here and all will join in congratulating
him on his good fortune in securing for
his life partner so pleasing ana attrac-
tive lady.
They will have rooms with the
parents of the bride until spring, at
which time 1t is probable they will
make their home IN Middle Tennessee,
the former home of Mr.. Palmer.

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION
Mrs. J, j, Beyers Seriously Injured and
May Lose Right Eye.

Friday night about eleven O'Clock &
dynamite explosion occurred in the
home of ]. }. Beyers. Lantana. that
very nearly cost the life of Mrs. Beyers
and greatly endangered the house by
fire. The conditions are these:
Mr.. Beyers has recently built a
large barn on his farm and in doing so
had to remove some stumps. The
workman bored two holes in large
stump and put IN two sticks of dyna-
mite with the regular explosive caps.
When the snot was fired they thought
both sticks of dynamite were fired, but
such did not prove to be the case. Mr..
Beyers used one piece of the stump for
a back stick to the fireplace of his resi-
dence Friday evening.
About eleven O'Clock stock was
heard in field of ungathered corn and
Mr.. Beyers and wife arose and drove
the stock out. On returning to the
nouse Mr.. Beyers at once returned
to bed, but Mrs. Beyers drew near the
fire. While sitting there the dynamite
exploded, blowing the fire and ashes all
out into the room. Mrs. Beyers was
severely burned on the legs almost to
the waist. both arms almost to the
elbows, her right eye badly injured and
the right side of her head badly burn
ed.
The force of the explosion blew
pieces OF wood into the walls and cell
ing and scattered fire over the room
and beds and burned much of the bed
clothing badly. The fire was extlngu
ished and the house saved, but Mrs.
Beyers is in a very critical condition.
DIR. Lewis thinks her chances for re-
covery are good, but she may lose the
injured eye.
VIM. Hyder, father of Mrs. Beyers,
was there, as was another man, and
with their united efforts they we're able
to save the house.
In spite of the serious injuries Mrs.
Beycrs sustained, she was fortunate in
a way, for had any of the pieces OF
wood that were driven into the ceiling
and walls by the explosion hit her. she
would certainly have been killed. In
the light OF all conditions it is mex
plainable how she escaped with her life.
Mr.. Beyers is an Industrious and re-
spected citizen and the unfortunate ac
cident will be deeply regretted by all.
