need sixty millions of barrels for this
purpose. and when they store more
than that amount, they require the
producers to build the storage by de-
ducting the cost from the price OF oil
lIealdton producers have stood this
condition three months and none OF
them have gone broke, we can con
tinue to do the same thing by cooper.
ating with one another. The new leg
islation will permit only such oil as
there Is a demand for, to be brought
from the earth and that will to some
extent control the price. The oil men
need protection fro mthemselves, and
in 80 days the price will be getting
better. Oil will go to 75c a barrel
Every contract we have ever made
with the pipe line people has been
broken. They come with very pret.
ty story to show us how they cannot
handle the oil. Oil should be kept in
the ground where nature put 1t un-
til there is market demand for it.
After the legislation now being pre-
pared is law, there VIII be no more
"hogging" in the Oklahoma oil fields.
Position Of McMan
c. II. Clark, superintendent for the
McMan Company was called for He
stated that the McMan and Corsieana
companies operated Jointly In the
Healdton field, their production now
is l3,500 barrels. The McMan, people
have no soc oil. they would rather not
sell any oil for as low as 40c, He could
not tell just what the Corsicana Pc
troleum Company would say, but he
believed that company held the same
opinion as the McMan people hold He
said the production at Cushing was
on the decline and the oil situation
looked better. He also spoke of the
Prairie people paying Csc in the Cush-
ing field, when other purchasers were
buying oil at 39c and said the pipe line
people were not to be condemned for
their action. The producers have bro
ken the market. If we can't protect
ourselves. we ought to go out of the
oil business, said Mr. Clark.
This country produced in 1913 ap-
proximately 24S,OOO, 900 barrels, in 1914
the production is estimated at 294,0O0,-
900. That storage of 100000 at
Gushing is mere drop in the bucket
We can afford to wait There are
many leases in the Healdton field that
will not show any profit whatever, If
the flush production must be sold at
SOC.

Other Companies Represented

Lawrence Lee, of the 1911 and the
1914 companies, said, his people had
not sold their storage oil for 30c and
they would not now agree to sell
their fresh oil at that price. He favor
ed shut down in the field rather
than reduce the price.
G. A. Ramsey of the Bayou and 9th
er companies favored a shut down
If all would shut down. He gave ex-
preston to a grievance in that some
OF his neighbors had been taking oil
out of the ground for series of
months and he said he was feeling
sore over the conditions that prevail
now.
b. A. Simpson OF the Ardworth and
other companies said his people had
no SOC and no 4Oc oil. His people will
stand with the producers and close
down the field rather than reduce the
price.
Walter Critchlow of the Dundee Co.
says he believed the field should be
shut down as an encouragement to the
legislature which will be giving consiO-
Grafton TO a new oil conservation
measure within a short time.

The Baptists, Methodists. Presbyterians,
Episcopalians, Christians Adventists, and
Masons have no such warlike footing.
Against whom, are these secret Catholic

Against whom, do they intend to use those
guns!
Who are "the enemy"
Ii there ever was a time when Masonry
should show whether it has any life left or
whether it has the same dly-rot as our Prot
estant churches, 1t Is right noac.
Yet, we saw in Baltimore Masons throw
open their fine buildings to the use of their
deadliest enemies, namely, the Fourth Degree
knights of Columbus.
We saw the Jacksonville Masons shut the
door of their temple to Protestant lecturer,
and open it to the murderous and tIeasonous
Knights of Clumbus
We saw halfa-dozen pretended 32nd de-
gree Masons, Of Los Angeles, sign a fake
certificate that they had examined the most
secret of the papers Of the knights of Colum-
bus and found them purely patriotic, philan
throplc. and stopping over with brotherly love

Then comes this Kentucky episode. in which
we see the Fourth Degree Knights saved from

questions.
