FRIDAY NIGHT
"ALFALFA BILL" WILL ADDRESS
THE VOTERS UPON NATIONAL
ISSUES. CONGRESSMAN LEVER
ALSO BILLED FOR SAME DATE.

Alfalfa BirW Murray will be in
Ardmore Friday night to address the
citizens on national issues Of the
campaign, and his friends are maxi
ing arrangements to give him warm
reception.
On the same night Congressman
Lever is billed to speak here and the
latter, who is under the direction OF
the national bureau, has been an
nounced some time. An effort will
be made to have the two speakers
divide time. The speaking will be
held at the county court house and
an effort will be made 10 secure
band to welcome them. Mr. Murray
needs no introduction 10 the people
of Oklahoma. Although defeated for
reelection to congress from his own
district he is recognized as one OF
the strong men of the party and his
coming will be hailed with delight
by the large number of his local ad-
mirers.
It is regretable that the conflict
of dates occurred but the people Will

Important Announcement
Made to Smokers
High Quality Of San Felice Cigars
Maintained. Now Sell at Sc Straight.

Owing to the greatly increased cost
of quality tobaccos, in fact, everything
pertaining to high grade cigars, the max
ers Of the San Felice cigar, The Deisel-
Wemmer Company have advanced the
selling price to the Jobbers and Dealers
and henceforth this cigar will positively
be sold to the consumer at . cents
straight instead Of six for quarter as
previously.
The SAN FELICE is national in its
scope and character, having justly at
tanned this eminence through its uneN-
celled excellence. To maintain this un-
edualed standard Of quality, the advance
in question is absolutely unavoidable. The
generous support Of all men using quality
cigars is earnestly desired.

Southeast Extension.

VIII the wells in the southeast eX-
tension be attached to the pipe line?
That is question OF interest to the
producers who have staged a very
active drilling campaign in that por-
ton of the field Wells are drilling
in 13, IA, % and "a, and even
over in the next township a well is
starting on the Il. Is. Pugh farm in
lS-4-2. The pipe line has made no
connections down that way. Some of
the producers will be able to store
their oil and others will not The
Humble has tanks, and so has Hamon,
Producers. Westhemer & Daube, Car
ter and Magnolia. There is some
talk of asking the commission to make
an order prohibiting the pipe lines
from connecting with the wells in the
southeast extension. One man who
is well acquainted with the field, said:
There is no use of drilling up that
portion of the field There is not a
market for what the main pool is pro-
ducing and the pipe line should not
be permitted to go or after areas that
could wait for a better time for de
velopment." But, on the other hand
the man who has oil lands in the ex
TENSION feels that he is entitled tC
produce oil as any otner man in the
field, and he is proceeding with the
drilling of wells.

Extends Simpson Sand.

The rig at Hamon & Colcord No. II
which belonged to the contractors
Martin, Turner and McKamie has
been destroyed by fire. This well Is
west of No. l on the Coffey A lease
and reached the deep sand. The well
was making gas when the casing crew
was called to set the casing. 1t was
while the crew was at work that in
some manner the gas was ignited and
the rig was destroyed. A delay Of
several days will be occasioned while
a new rig is being built. This well is
not without significance. 1t carries
the Simpson sand farther toward the
east side of section 16, and for that
reason is very interesting.

Some time along in January or Febuary-or
maybe January February 191S-the United
States supreme court will hear "reargument"
of the Oregon minimum wage ease.
So many justices of the supreme court have
died or run for the presidency something, that
there are not enough of the original bunch left to
decide the case. 1t was first argued about TWO
YEARS AGO. At that time Louis d. Brandeis
was the counsel who argued the case from the
standpoint of the workingwomen who it affects.
In Oregon the people decided that women
and especially mothers ought not to be exploit
ed beyond a certain point. The minimum wage
commission fixed rate of 1851 as a living wage
for women employed in paper box factory.
The factory appealed to the courts. 1t said the
rate was "confiscatory' and that it would be put
out of business The case went through all the
Oregon courts. Then it went to the supreme
court That was more than two years ago. (In
the meantime the box factory has paid the mini
mum wage to all its women employees for two
years and has doubled its factory and output
but that hasn't anything to do with the story)
Now the supreme court wants to have the case
reargued. In the meantime Louis d. Blandeis
the man who knows more about the case than
anybody in the United States, has been appointed
to the supreme court.
So, when the ease is reargued, Mr.. Brandeis
will go to the robing room of the supreme court,
in company with the other eight Justices put on
his black silk gown, march soemnly up onto the
bench, take his seat, and sit still for about min
ute.
Then he will solemnly RISE walk down from the
bench, ostentatiously proceed down the center
aisle, out into the capitol corridor, back to the
robing room, and take off his silk gown
After which he may go to lunch or to play
golf, or do anything he likes long he doesn't
show his nose around the court while the ease is
being reargued.
1t would be so very, entirely preposterously
IMPROPER for the man who knows most about
the case in the United States to have anything to
do about DECIDING it. He might be PREJU-
DICED in favor of those poor, callous- fingered
Oregon women

Dear Miss Grey: Anent
the discussion in your col
umns regarding Confessions
of a Wife"
| do not see how anyone
can think Margie is in love
with Malcolm S. She has
been trying hard, in her eff
fort to excuse Dick, to prove
that she would he just as
bad under the same provoca-
ton, and the sympathy and
admiration of Malcolm being
pleasing to her, she wonders
If the test has come. But
when her doctor probes her
to know If there is another,
1t flashes through her that
while she does not love Dick,
neither does she love NAL
colin, and her heart is at
rest on that score.
What is a libel to the
many true, clean men in the
world is, that all men who
know of Dicks perfidy think
Margie should forgive and
60 on loving him in the same
old way, for Dick is lust
human as though it was
the way of most men. Chad
and the other men of their
set condemn him only in that
he is so open about it and
fear the women folks of their
set may meet him with one
of his fancies.
Dick Waverly and his sort
do not know the first letter
of love. 1t is passion pure
and simple. Any woman
with a bit of witchery about
her can influence him.
That sort of man wants
a beautiful wife like Margie
who loves him. to be queen
of his home-this for re-
spectability. She must be-
lieve he loves her and leave
him free to follow the lure
of the "57 other varieties"
"a man feels no thrills for
sick wife," says Chad.
What consummate selfish
ness. 1t is wholesome to for
get the thrills" for self now
and then and indulge in the
deeper, nobler sentiments of
sympathy and tender help
fulness in helping another to
bear his burden.
1t was cruel the way Dick
abandoned Margie to her
sorrow. pretending he was
working for her.
| remember when my
mother became blind while
yet young, with the same
heroic unselfishness that
Margie had, she tried to put
herself away out of sight
that she might not be more
of burden than necessary.
But my father would not be
banished from her presence.
Every bit of time he could
get he was by her side with
bit of CHEEKY news and
tender sympathy. They grew
to have something infinite
ly better than thrills--a
loving, sympathetic under
standing comradeship. His
sick wife" was a strength
and an inspiration to him
through many trying times.
The thrills" in no way
indicate true love. 1t is but
the froth of the waves. Wa
tiers that run deepest and
smoothest have little of it.
