JONES IS SURELY
 A CLASSY GOLFER
English Soldier ''Puts'' Ball 200
 Yards on One Leg

Correspondence of the Asso Press)
 London, Oct 15-A remarkable eX- hibitiOn of golf, under extreme han
 dicap, was recently shown at the
 SundridgC Park course during a four some in which the leaGing English
 professionals were the contestants.
 Previous to the match in Which Ed
 ward Ray and James Braid were op-
 posed by Harry Vardon and J. H.
 Taylor in play for the benefit of the Lord Kitchener National Memorial
 Fund Ernest Jones, balancing him.
 self on one leg, repeatedly drove the
 ball for distances well over 200 yards.
 Jones, who was the professional of the ChislchUrst club, had recently re- turned from the firing line where he had lost his right leg at the knee. It was generally assumed that his golf ing days were over. Immediately he was out of the hospital, however, Jones was back on the links.
 In the khaki uniform of a lance corporal and on crutches he made his way to the tee from which Var don and the others were later to drive and gave one of the most re- markable exhibitions the golfing has ever seen. Balancing on his left leg, Jonen drove his first ball straight as the flight of an arrow 235 yards down the course. Not one ball, but dozen, all flying as far and as true as the first. And never once did he lose his balance. All the rhythm and timing of the perfect professional swing were there, and many amazed golfers discovered that form" is really the thing after all, whether you are standing on two legs or one.
 Jones naively remarked that he hoped to do much better after he gets an artificial leg fitted. So far he has only been able to make a 69 on his home course.
 The spectators also witnessed some wonderful play in the foursome which followed. The match demonstrated that whatever may be it's other vicis- situdes war has not taken a single ounce from the tremendous driving smash of Ray, nor has it dulled in the slightest degree the keen edge of Vardon's wonderful machine-like play. These two masters of golf fought out a wonderful match. Var don made a 68, ten strokes under the standard for the course but Ray was a miracle man that afternoon. The of his niblick play finally set at naught the Wizardry of Vardon's woods and irons and he rounded out the eighteen holes with a 66 Braid and Taylor were more or less eclipsed and it is no ordinary golf ing contest when players of their type can be all but forgotten.
 The foursome had not moved be- yond the third hole when the big gal lery, which included a host of Amer icans began to realize that what they really were to see was a duel between Ray and Vardon. Yet Braid and Taylor were playing magnificent golf all the way through. Taylor was a trife handicapped by sore hand and had most of the bad luck in the match. Braid did some remarkable putting. He was constantly down in three Or four, but Vardon or Ray were always on hand to halVe the hole and share the honors. Once Braid sank a 30-foot putt for a two, but Ray with an air of supreme carelessness ran one down from fifteen fet away and took similar score.
 The driving was always wonderful.

Taylor and Braid were seldom more than a couple of yards apart. Var don generally was ten yards in ad- vance of these two, but Ray, a little off in direction, always had from ten to twenty yards the best of the can- nonading from the tee.

Expect Sands to Pinch Out.

How the McMan Oil Company fig
ures the northwest extension might be
determined from the purchases it has
made. Mr. Woodruff owns 80 acres
in the south part of section 30 and of
this tract McMan purchased so acres
on the southside of the acreage and
the forty acres left on the north side
of the 90-acre farm was not taken.
The company evidently figures that the
sands will pinch out early after en-
tering that section. How well il has
made its estimate, will be determined
soon with the drill. j. l.. Hamon has
begun activities in that section, and
the Middle Tennessee Oil Company
has rig up near the center of the
section and is now trying to get some
one to drill a well.

! like the lily,--like cedars of Lebanon
in beauty of character, rooted and
grounded and built up in Christ. Men
in trial and tears seek those who can
pray. those of faith in God and an
unworldly life. For three times on
Sunday our evangelist spoke like an
apostle and prophet of God His
physical reserve force, spiritual in
sight and mental versatility are
amazing. The morning address on
Restoration based on Galatians
6:1, was of the very greatest prac-
tical interest. People seem never to
tire of the perfect torrents of prac,
tical truth which he pours into their
hearts. At times he strikes like light
ming upon some prevailing inconsis-
tency of living and pauses, while his
hearers are tense with conscious heart
searching, while it soaks in" Re-
demption is three-fold-that of the
lost soul, the lost body and the lost
home. God has perfect plan from
first to last. The sermon was won
derfully comforting and inspiring, as
he lifted our hearts from the strug-
giles here below to the victorious ex-
perience in heaven at last. Here we
receive foretastes of glory to make
us strong in helping our fallen broth
er rise, dying in anguish, where we
have never been. The church ought
to be hotbed of service, not of con-
tention. We ought to adjust our
churches to a twentieth century en-
terprise with first century gospel
while the world, the flesh and the
devil travel at a modern auto and
electric pace. The gospel of saliva
ton must not come along by canal
What shall become of the boys and
girls converted in these meetings? :?
Shall they be folded to the warm,
prayerful heart of the church or will
they be locked into an ecclesiastical
refrigerator? II is the lazy, worldly,
pleasure-lOving, stingy, critical, opin-
donated, backward, stand off and look
on church member that hinders the
revival.
After this series of meetings Ard
more pastors, churches, members and
converts will either rise to higher
living or sink to lower plane. God
help us to see one day of Gods
visitation.
At the large mems meeting in the
afternoon the address was on Faith
ers and Sons" l Kings 2:2. An old
man, a dying father and king was
addressing his gay son and a prince.
He dwelt upon David's strength and
weakness, emphasizing the value of
splendid ancestry, and made an ad-
dress which every father in the city
ought to have heard, and may before
their children to were born. Men
spent years and large sums OF money
to improve the stock Of frnits. fowls
and animals, producing types OF these
worth thousands OF dollars. Again

DANGERS OF LRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot and
perspiring, just when they are most
dangerous and the result Is neuralgia
Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles or sometimes
an attack of rheumatism. In such cases
apply Sloan's Liniment. 1t stimulates
circulation to the sore and painful
part. The blood flows freely and IN a
short time the stiffness and pain leave.
Those suffering from neuralgia or
neuralgic headache will find one or
two applications OF Sloan's Liniment
will give grateful relief. The agonizing
pain gives way to tingling sensation
of comfort and warmth and quiet rest
and sleep is possible. Good for neuri-
tis. too. Price Csc, at your druggist

lowing a blind fancy, disregarding
all laws of heredity, and produce a
degenerate human stock, cursed with
parental weakness and vices. Rear
horses and hogs worth thousands, and
boys worth five cents apiece
At the evening worship the taber-
nacle was overtlowing. We wondered
if our evangelist was equal to his
third great address on the same day.
The meetings were cumulative in
force, and so was the preacher. The
tide rose higher and higher still as
he sought out the secrets of all
hearts. He that being oft reproved
hardeneth his neck shall be suddenly
destroyed and that without remedy"
Prov. 29:1. Gods dealings are dis
ciplinary. When they fail to correct
they become punishment which is
eternal loss of health, fortune needs
come to us but when these fail God
nsheaths his sword against ms in
our rebellion. The penalty of sin
must fall Love cannot stay death.
Think now of the coming judgment.
Many were converted during the
day. DR.. Williams makes no parade
of numbers who make confession of
Christ. He is a great subsoiler. His
work is of the permanent type, not
an effervescent sensation that passes
with night.
There will be no meeting today.
Meeting for everybody Tuesday after
noon at o'clock, and 7:45 at night.

OWNS LARGE ACREAGE
Outside of Prairie Oil and Gas the
Jones Co. Has Largest in State.

The Bermont Oil Company is the
largest owner in the state of Oklahoma
outside of the Prairie Oil & Gas Com
pany. This company is composed OF
Berford B. Jones and his brother
Monfort Jones and the name is made
up by combining the given names of
the two brothers. b. b. Jones is the
discoverer of the Gushing field and he
made an immense amount of wealth
out of that development. This COM
pany has about 500 tracts of land in
the Ardmore oil district, averaging
100 acres to the tract, making about
$4,000 acres. A part of this acreage
is located in the southeast extension
to the Healdton field, some of it is in
the Fox district and some of it lies
in Stephens county. This company
has been represented in the Ardmore
oil district by half dozen men for
number of days, and the abstractor
and property man were called by wire
yesterday to Oklahoma City. Some
of the representatives still remain in
this district taking leases and exam
lining titles. 1t is probable that the
development in this section of the
country will be looked after largely
by Monfort Jones as B. B. Jones will
spend the larger portion of the year
in California where he will go on ac-
count of his health.
