Selline Storage Oil.

The Gilmer Oil company, through
its local manager, Sid J. Hernstadt,
has sold three 55,OOObarrel steel tanks
of Healdton crude to r. NJ. McFarlin
of the McMan Oil company The
price IS the same as was paid by Mr..
McFarlin for the seven tanks which
he recently purchased from the Ard
worth the Gates and the Ardhoma
companies, which was $l25 a barrel
including the steel storage. The
transfer of the other oil purchased by
Mr. NcFarlin was made to the Saddle
River Oil company and it is possible
that this oil was purchased by the
same people. What the Saddle River
people intend to do with the oil they
are purchasing at Hcaldton is not
known. This makes ten tanks or
more than onehalf million barrels
which this company has purchased
here, and represents an outlay Of
money amounting to $GSL5oo
The same people are on a deal for
the purchase of three other tanks at
Hoaldton. 1t is possible that this oil
is being purchased and held in re
serve for European contracts, which
are very heavy at this time.

Vaccination and Schools.

To the Patrons Of the Public Schools
of Ardmore:
AS | am the only physician on the
board of education, | thought il
best to make some explanation Ol
the smallpox situation, and give our
reasons for making vaccination com.
pulsory on those who patronize the
public schools of our city.
DR.. Hardy, the county heal,a C
ficer, reports something near three
hundred cases of smallpox in the city
this winter. While these cases have
been of a mild type as a ru!e, YOU
can never tell when the malignant
type of the disease may develop.
Smallpox is at all times a Tcpulsive
and lOathsome disease, and 81 wholly
ineXCusable ono, since there IS at
our command remedy which will
protect us for ali time against its
invasion. An epidemic Of smallpox
always creates a panic, dislurbs AuSi-
ness and interferes very materially
with the success of our public ilsti-
tutions. Nothing in medical science
is better established than the i'm
munity given against this disease by
vaccination. There should be no
such disease as smallpox and will not
be if our people will take advantage
of this wonderful discovery. You may
not know it, but all state universities
and large colleges require yaccina-
tion as a requisite to matriculatiOn,
All large corporations require their
employees to be vaccinated. Life in
surance companies make an eXemp'
lion of smallpox if you have not becl
vaccinated. All of this goes to show
that big business is alive to its iIc
portance. If you allow your child TO
grow up and leave you without having
given it the benefit of this protection,
you have done it an injustice, and
possibly handicapped Il for i!fe, how.
ever innocently you may have done
so. | trust our people will &C operate
with us in this mater 20 the crd
that there will be no cause for such
disturbance in the future.
The great care exercised in the
preparation of vaccine by our labora-
tories, together with the modern asep-
tic method of its application, elimi-
mates all danger from its use.
J. c. McNEES,
Vice-Chairman Board of Education.

The Dundee School.

Chas. d. Reed, of the Producers
Refining company was an Ardmore
visitor last night. Mr.. Reed started
the agitation at Dundee for the new
school building, and after the board
had advertised a bond election to vote
$2,50O to build school house, he in
duced them to rescind their action
and at a mass meeting the citizens
held, it was agreed that school
building, costing $4,000, should be
built. The building has been COM
pleted and is well furnished, and 400
pupils are in actual attendance and
seven teachers are employed. All
the classrooms are full and the au-
ditorium has been divided into rooms
for class work Mr. Reed is justly
proud of his efforts in behalf Of the
oil field school.

The Francis Wei.

Ardmore parties who visited the
Francis well yesterday to see the new
well which The Tidewater people are
drilling in Pontotoc county, report
that an oil sand was reached at a
depth of 1,5S7 feet; that the drill
penetrated the sand to a depth of
something like five feet. The hole
was drilling full of water when the
sand was reached. Wor}men began
bailing the well yesterday and up to
the time the parties left the well had
been bailed to within 100 feet OF the
bottom when the cable parted and
the bailer was drilled in the we'll.
About one quart of oil was drawn
out with each bailer. 1t is the opin-
ION of the visitors at the well that
the sand is very light one or the
well would have filled up with oil
when it was bailed to a point within
100 feet of the bottom. To make
the statement plain, it is not an oil
well, although when the sand is drill.

visitors We're doing no buying, al
though plenty of close.n stuff was

of being alive and of about about 80

Thelma people will keep on drilling
until either oil or water is found.
The well has missed the sand that
was found in No. | well on the same
lease, and the only hope the company
has of bringing in a second well is
TO find a new sand. No 1 well on

ted yesterday that the well made
