should vary we'll in accordance with
sSvereness Of winter and condition of
stock. This ia a point that can only
be decided in the feed lot. To permit
the stock to go perfectly without con-
centrates at this time would be a
grave mistake, and in all probability
make impossible the task of bringing
1t to spring feed in healthy and Wig
0rous condition. Such condition is
imperative in the case of breeding ami
mails and essential for feeders II best
results are to be obtained.
The matter of feeding hogs, included
in Class |, presents an entirely differ
ent problem from that of the other
stock. 1t is true thai they may profit
ably be run on grain fields, meadows
and pastures before snow arrives, but
concentrates must constitute much OF
their ration after outside fields are
closed for winter. Roots, chopped al

their winter feed. In fact, any prod
ucts that will substitute for the for
ages and grasses In the field, which
feeds are so essential to the condition
ing Of brood sows, can well be used.
Concerning the feed for stock in
cluded in Class II little need be said.
It is a fact well known that horses at
work require both care and feed. This
they must receive If their work is
done. To furnish the dairy cow with
rations not intended to meet the de-
mands made upon her system by the
milk she gives would defeat the pur-
pose for which she is kept. AS the
food requirement for these different
classes of live stock is a matter OF
common knowledge to stockmen ii
remains only to see that it is pro
vided in abundance.

The Cosden Refinery.

Embodied in the press report re-
,ceived Friday was a well founded ru-
NOR that the Cosden Company, one
of the greatest oil companies in the
Tulsa field, contemplated building a
refinery in the Ardmore field. The Cos
den company recently purchased the
Richards interest in the Ardmore field
the price being said to be $75O,OOO,
and comprising some of the best pro-
duction in the field. A telegram was
sent to the Cosden Company yes
terday offering its good offices to Sc
cure all that was necessary for the
plant to be located here. 1t is expect
ed that some reply will be received

HEALING OF SOLDIERS WOUNDS
SHORTENED BY MANY DAYS

Paris, May 13.-The new Carrell
treatment of soldiers wounds has
brought about a reduction Of the period
of convalescence, according to re-
port now submitted by DR.. Ufholtz,
chief surgeon of a division of the
French army. Under this process EN-
ployed by DR.. Alexis Carroll, the re-
port declares. the time required for
the healing of wounds has been short
ened to sixteen days in extreme cases,
as compared with three months. On
the average the period of evolution OF
the wounds is reduced about two
thirds.
The great advantage of the use OF
hypo-chlorite of soda for the continual
washing of the wounds is that it ac'
CELEBRATES wonderfully the progress OF
healing to the point where the edges
of the wound may be brought to
gether by stitching or by adhesive
bandages. In some cases DIR. Uffholz
has noted that a disinfection of from
7 to 9 days with this process has been
sufficient to permit the closing of the
wound.

SERMON ON
SHOWS AND
DANCES, ETC.
FRIDAY EVENING DR.. WILLIAMS
CONTINUING HIS ADDRESS ON
ADJUSTMENTS, SPOKE PLAINLY
AND WITH CONVICTION.

Little time was spent last Friday
night in preliminaries at the ta5cr-
nacle meeting. DR.. Williams paused
long enough to answer a few Ques-
tions, and then plunged into the dis
cussion of shows and dances, being
a part of the general subject OF amuse-
ments, continued from Thursday
night. The question, "Why is ii
necessary to discuss amusements be-
fore church members" DR.. Williams
answered by saying that many Chris
tian people by the assertion of their
liberty may injure themselves, and
others also, and that if they are
shown wherein the danger lies they
will gladly give them up, because
they are Christians and want to be
on the right side and honor their
Master. A most pathetic letter writ
ten by young man of this city
was read by DR.. Williams, stating his
spiritual condition, and asking II
there was any hope for him. 1t
touched the hearts of the congrega'
ton. and many silent prayers rose
to the Savior for him and all like
him.
In his address, DR.. Williams began
by saying that many people join the
church without any idea of self-sacri'
flee on their part, and as conse'
quence, low ideals in religion pre-
vail and worldly conformity weakens
the power of the church. BE not
conformed to this world" is the in
spired injunction. Church people do
not qualify for service. Very evil

ouences. The situation is alarming

Unless some unforeseen cir
cumstances arise which may
prevent it, Ardmore Will in the
very near future see one OF
the three proposed refineries Of
the RoXana Petroleum Com
pany.
Following the announcement
from Tulsa to the ArdmOreite
Friday, to the effect that the
RoXana Company had increas-
ed its capital stock from ten
millions to fifty millions Of dol
lars and proposed to construct
three refneries of from five to
ten thousand barrels capacity
daily, the board Of directors Of
the chamber Of commerce and
the business mems association
met yesterday morning for the
purpose of bringing one of the
refineries to this city if possible.
Mr.. van Wijk, who has
charge of the RoXana interests
in this field was at the meeting
and briefly stated what was es-
sential for the location of the
refinery, and the conditions i'm
posed were in the main so rea-
sonable that he was virtually
assured that Ardmore would
meet them.
The main feature was an ad-
equate water supply as the
plant would need something
like sixteen hundred barrels
daily. He was assured that this
was an easy condition to meet
and that the city council would
be seen with a view to allowing
them to install their own line
and pumping station at the
lake and get the water free OF
charge, or they would furnish
the water at actual pumping
charges. The matter of site
was also taken up and Mr.. van
Wiik will receive from a com
mittee appointed an option OF
a little more than a hundred
acres of land at once.
The Roxana Company mas in the
past favored Carter County deciding
recently to build their immense tank
farm inside of the Carter County lines
thus giving this county the benefit oI
the gross production tax on the oil
He frankly stated that two or three
other locations are under considera
tion, but that all things being equal
Ardmore's claim would be most seri
ously considered by his company
From the meeting it was evident thai
with proper moral support and al
evident manifestation that the rein
cry was wanted in this city, it wa:
virtually assured. The details look
ing for meeting the conditions i'm
posed will be taken care of immedi
ately by committees appointed an(
the men appointed are not likely to lie
the grass grow under their feet.
