time the contract was made everybody
in the field was glad TO see il. whether
they went into it or not, for they felt
it was necessary to get another pipe
line in here in some way. | talked
to Superintendent Stewart about il
then, and he said he hoped il would
come, for they could not handle all
the production.
Now, all hands say the price of oil
has been set for the field for two
years by that contract, The Crosbie
and Gunsburg interests rad set the
thirty-cent price months before that,
selling their own oil to their own re-
finery at 80 cents. on five-year con-
tract, so far as | know. | presume
all or most of those who went in on
stock Of the company for part pay.
and | don't see where they are any
different from the Crosbie and Guns
burg folks-selling the oil to them
selves, with the profit on the refining
end to make up the low selling price.
So all this talk about the price
having been set" by that Gainesville
deal is all nonsense to cover up the
real reason, which is that the purchas-
ing interests can get all tley want Of
this oil without raising the price at
this time. Perhaps the Magnolia
could get now two-year contract for
seven thousand five hundred barrels
day at thirty cents If they would offer
to pay half that price IN the stock
of the Magnolia Petroleum company
at par, or the current market value.

The TheIma Line.

NJ A. billiard of the Thelma Oil
company arrived here last night from
Fort Worth, and went out to the
fields today. The Thelma company
owns small pipe line from its lease
to Ringing and is selling it's own oil
that while the flush production was
on at Gushing that he had very light
sales for Healdton crude at a price
that would pay him to handle the oil
but since the enormous production at
Gushing is receding, he finds much
better market for Healdton crude.
and he is of the opinion that there
is bright outlook for the field.

PRAIRIE DOGS KILLED BY GAS
New Scheme for Exterminating Pests
Proves Successful.

San Angelo. Tex, Aug. 30.-Harry
Black. formerly of California, and
Walter Foreman of this city are max
ing large sums of money killing prai-
rie dogs in the large cattle pastures
with chlorine gases. The gases are
generated with the generator of a
large automobile. A hose is attach
ed to the auto discharge and this is
placed in the holes. The dogs are
killed almost instantly. Should there
be ground squirrels. SNAKES or other
animals, they also are killed, Just as
quick as the gas is placed in the
hole a wet sack is placed over it
for a minute or two. This sette es
the prairie dogs forever.

Manners VS.. Kindness.

What are good manners? Many den
nitions have been given from time to
time, but one Of the best is the sort
OF manners which are guided by kind
ness and consideration for others. II
you keep this in mind you need not
be afraid of criticism. If you let
your actions be guided by motives of
kindness, If you consider others before
yourself, you are bound to do the
right thing-which is the kind thing
at the right time. OF course there are
various forms in social usage which
can only be acquired by association
with refined persons, but if this is
denied one, the seeker after good man.
ners cannot go very far astray il he
or she remembers to let kindness and
consideration rule. In these days when
the average person is "out for him.
SELF" when selfishness is the predomi-
nant note of social and business inter-
course, the man or woman who thinks
of others and acts according to their
wishes will soon be marked for a
of manner which cannot be
aqualed by those who have been
called to higher places in life.

Newark has nothing to be sorry for
after last nights affair. 1t was big
and it was a success, and every man
there was delighted with himself ana
with everybody else.
@
Applause, of course, was rampant,
but the reception given to Mr.. Powers
as he arose to speak was even more
than an ovation. That one demon
stration showed me that the hearts
of the fans were in the right place.
The other speakers were handsomely
treated, especially Mayor Raymond
and President Gilmore, of the Fed
eral League, but Mr.. Powers's recep
ton was a tribute that any man
might we'll fell proud Of The demon
stration was so tremendous and so
prolonged that it took p. T. off his
feet and made him forget most of the
things he had expected to say. 1t
was a delightful tribute to man
who has done so much for our city.

Mayor Raymond gave a short put
very effective talk. He said he was
in favor of a play day as we'll as a

Opening Of the Newark Federal League
Baseball Season Means an t Epoch
in the History Of Our City.

This day, fellow citizens, as the
orators say, will go down in New
ark history. 1t is the opening day
of the Newark Federal League club,
but in reality it is big League
Day" 1t is a day, fellow fans, all
of us should remember, and it is a
day we should celebrate to the
queens taste. Newark, would say,
has much to be thankful for on
this particular occasion. She now
takes a stand alongside the other
big league cities of the country,
and it should be a delight and a
pleasure forever to know that she
is not only just as good as the rest,
but Just as big, in baseball way,
as the rest. Say what you will, you
are never really on the map unless
you are a big Lacquer in a big
league town.
C
So. fans, it is up to you, now that
you are big leaguers, to remain big
leaguers. To do this you will have to
support the team-win or lose. II
the Pops win you are in duty bound
to give them support and If they lose
1t will be up to you to stick to them
Noun rlE iC
getting all the best of this invasion
of the Feds and there are any num-
Der of cities who would give million
dollars in cold cash to be in New
ark's shoes. While the Feds are not
simply on trial here, loyal support
will cut a big figure if ever the time
comes to make a choice. As far as
I am concerned, l feel that the Pops
are going to do land office business,
for feel that the fans are bound to
show their appreciation of what has
been their good fortune and what
has been done for them.
@
The citizens of Newark owe much
to P. T. Powers and Harry F. Sin
clair, the men who are responsible
for our position in the big league.
They have spent something like $780,
300 already on the ball team and not
game has been played. They will
spend more money, too, for both men
are grand sportsmen, and, incidentally
there is enough dough back Of them
to float the proverbial ship of gold.
Thus, fans, you must realize that you
have a duty to perform, and this is
one of the days to show it.

today, for she made a name for
herself last night at the Dollar
