To half pint of water add OF. Bay Rum, q
small box of Barbo Compound, and u OF. of
glycerine. Apply to the hair twice week
until 1t becomes the desired shade. Any drug
gist caL put this up or you can mix it at
home at very little cost. 1t will gradually
darken streaked, fnded gray hair. and re-
moves dandruff. It is excellent for falling
hair and will make harsh hair soft and glossy.
1t will not color the scalp, is not sticky or
greasy, and does not rub off.-Ady.

Facts
That Have Been or
Will Be Sworn To

Every statement made in this ad-
vertisement is backed by sworn
statements, public records. public
prints or the testimony of eye wit
nesses. The incorporators of this
company have persistently declined
to open operations in any sO-called
wild cat" field or base their opera
tions upon a vaguely speculative
basis. AS business men and finan-
ciers undertaking to build up an oil
and gas industry which we hope
will early rank with the best in the
West, we must have behind us,
three things: The holdings, the
facts and the people. We have in
vestigated this matter with tho
same care we invite you to eXer-
else, and upon an array of indisput-
able facts, we are building this en-
terprise. Among these facts we
mention briefly. the following:
Our lease holdings lie in section
29-21-S, Pawnee County, Oklahoma.
exactly two and one-half miles
south Of Cleveland.
We hold the S. f. quarter Of 20
els. the only quarter in the sec
tion, which has not yet been de-
veloped. and the n. f.. n. w and
$. Il. quarter of this one fourth sec
ton are included In the present
capitalization.
Within shouting distance Of this
$. f.. quarter of 29-2l-S, and in the
same section, is located the well de-
scrbed by the Tulsa World, else
where in this advertisement.
A ten-cent premium is now being
paid over the current market price
for oil in the Cleveland field.
There are fifteen wells on the so
acres cornering on section 29-21S
on the northwest.
One pipe line crosses this quar-
ter section and the vicinity Is
crossed by many pipe lines.
The oil production from COM
paratively shallow we'll in the City
Park at Cleveland, during the first
half of February, 1916, was mar
keted for more than $4,000.
There are six different sands in
the Cleveland field, three of which
the Cleveland, the Layton and the
Bartlesville are well known. Where
oil or gas is not found in one OF
these sands it is generally located in
another.

HIGH VELOCITY STARS.
Their Fearful Rate Of Speed In Space
ls Somewhat Puzzlinq,

Their Fearful Rate Of Speed In Space
Is Somewhat Puzzlins.
The average velocity Of stars ranges
from about six kilometers, or between
three and four miles, per second for
young stars to about thirty kilome-
tiers per second for ''old'' ones. But
notable exceptions occur At Mount
Wilson solar observatory Of the Car
negie institution some stars have been
found to move with velocities Of al,
$50, 179, 233, 316 and even 325 kilo-
meters per second, the highest speed
yet known.
These high velocity stars are some
times described as runaways because
they seem to be quite beyond the con-
troll Of the gravitatonal power Of the
universe. At their speed the attrac
ton of the entire known stellar sys-
tenn would be wholly insufficient to
check the stars career through space.
The astronomer, Simon Newcomb,
once calculated that the maximum We
locity attained by a body starting
with velocity zero at an infinite dis
lance and passing through a stellar
system containing 1OO,OOO,OOO stars
each five times as massive as our sun
and distributed throughout a DISLIKE
spheroid of certain extent cannot ex-
coed 40 kilometers per second. Yet the
star "Groombridge $780, has a speed
nearly nine times this value, and the
massive star Arcturus has a speed
probably four times this value.
If existing velocities owe their mag
nttudes to the gravitation of the sys-
tenn the quantity Of attracting matter
in the whole stellar system would
have to be at least eighty times that
assumed by the calculations Of Pro
lessor Newcomb.-Baltimor Ameri-
can.

HE ASKED FOR DONALD.
And Much to His Surprise He Got the
Answer He Sought.

Answer He Sought.

Scottish divine, before visiting India,
Glasgow, says a writer in the Scot

India" he said, yell be seem ma
DOnaP that went ava tae India ten
years ago an never sent the scrape of
pen tae his mither since.'
But, Katie" said the doctor, india
is very big place, and how can 1 ex-
pect to find him?''
ooh, but yell just be askin' for
DonaP. What for no?'
So, to please the old woman, he prom
ised to ask for Donald, and he con-
scientiously kept his word. At various
ports he made inquiry among British
ships, although it seemed very much
like looking for needle in bale of
hay. But it is the unexpected that
happens. AS DR.. Macleod's steamer
went up the Hugh river an outward
bound vessel passed close by. A sailor
was leaning over her bulwark, and
moved by sudden impulse, the doctor
shouted out:
care you Donald Mactavish?
To his intense surprise the man an.
swered, YES" ~'-..s.-.
DR.. Macleod had only time to shout
you're to write to your motherv' as
the vessels drew apart The result OF
his amazing meeting was that the old
lady received a penitent letter from
her long neglectful son. @-

Consider the Case of the Apple. the Po-

/ Consider the Case Of the Apple. ths Po-
tato ard the Sponge.
There is life here on this earth
that Is immortal, that never dies, so
biologists tell us. 4 book BY Pro-
1 lessor G. II. Child Of the [ University
Of Chicago tells Of observations and
experiments Of the immortal life Of
+ sponges, potatoes and apples.
Take the potato. for instance.
7 You wish to grow a new crop Of po-
tatoes, and you do not plant a seed !;
/ ron simply split the living potato,
/ you divide its substance and place
the different pieces Of itself into
different holes in the earth, and the
living potato becomes its own an
cestor. The potato you eat today
at dinner may be a part Of the very
potato your great-grandfather ate
100 years ago.
And so with the apple. 1t is per-
petuated by grating a piece Of the
tree upon a Seeding, and that graft-'
ed twig, a part Of the very body Of
the parent tree, grows on into a
large tree, and a limb Of it, again,
is grated on to another Seeding,
and SO on and on for limitless thou
sands Of years, the original tree liy-
ing always.
The sponge cell splits itself in
two and grows two sponges instead
Of one, and those two rediyide again
and produce four sponges.
The biologists scrapcd a small
sponge from a wooden pile Of Mar
ragansett Pier. cut it into small
pieces, squeezed the sponge cells
from each piece. strained them
through fine cloth and put them all
into a basin Of water Within an
hour the minute cells had collected
themselves together again and be-
gan Immediately to build an entire
" new sponge like the mother
sponge, Of which they we're original /
" a part.
These and kindred facts, as they
are accumulated, may throw light /
on the great mysteries Of life and |
death. just how it is impossible to
see. But the great discoveries have
followed the painstaking collecting I
and comparing Of facts that in
themselves seemed unrelated and
often trivial.
