The Gainesville Refinery.

Geo. A. Todd, superintendent of re.
fineries at Ponca City, Cushing and
Gainesville, was here last night from
Oklahoma City. He is well pleased
with the Gainesville refinery and the
Healdton field. His company is run
ming now something like $4,000 bar
rels a day, and has ready market
for all the products of the ref1nerY,
except kerosene. Mr.. Todd states
that he recently loaded within a days
time, 102 cars of residuum and 19 cars
of refined products, making a total
of 121 in a day. He states, however,
that tank cars are scarce, and his
company's operations are hampered
somewhat by the lack of Transports
ton facilities.

Report Oil Showing.

II was reported here yesterday
that a showing of oil had been found
in the Coombs G Redure well in
section 5-7-i, one-half mile south of
Lebanon, in Marshall county. The
well is probably about coo feet deep,
and the showing may not indicate
deeper sand, as it seems that oil
exists almost all over Marshall coun-
ty at a shallow depth, but so far very
few pay wells have been drilled in
that county. 1t is the belief of some
of the oil men that an important pool
will be opened in that county some
time during the year.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-03-24

oil, and from five to seven million
feet of gas. The drill is in the top
of the sand only, and deeper drilling
may result in a better production.
The Francis field has not reached
that stage where it is important, but
is so far only good wildcat territory.
Mr.. Keller says he traced range seven
east almost across the state, but he
did not find better looking wildcat
territory than exists in Carter county.

drill went out of the redbeds at 500
feet, which is about 200 feet higher
than the redbeds disappeared in the

Pure Blood Makes
Healthy People

Hoods Sarsaparilla surely and eff
fectively removes scrofula, boils and
other blood diseases because It drives
out Of the blood all the humors that
cause these diseases. They cannot
be successfully treated in any other
way. External applications for their
removal have proven almost useless,
because they cannot drive out the
impurities that are in the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
rich blood, perfects the digestion. and
builds up the whole system. The skin
becomes smooth, clean and healthy.
This great blood remedy has stood
the test of forty years. Insist on hay
ing Hoods, for nothing else acts like
it. There is no real substitute. Get
it today. Sold by all druggists.

chooses.

over food prices, handing these
nowers over to the new government
official on a days notice.
