CONGRESS IS DAZED
 BY REVELATIONS OF
 PRESIDENT WILSON
,continued from Page one>

real vital necessity, in the opinion of the President, of preparation for war.
 For it is evident that if the President had entertained any other idea, he would not have spoken so candidly of danger would not have given utterance to views construed by Germany and other foreign warlke nations as befng antagonistic to them And the Presidents frank disclos- ure of the dismal secrets of the present situation is taken to mean, also, that in his opinion nothing short of dynamic shock would move Congress to action.
 It is significant that Congress does not believe the President is talking for effect, or that he is moved in the belief that the defeat of his programme of preparedness would be followed by his own defeat be- fore the American people.
 Congress- it is evident, is becoming aroused to what the President terms ''om- nipresent danger" And for that reason, the indications that preparation to cer- ! tain extent at any rate will be author ized, are considered materially brighter.
 CONGRESS IN CHAOS
 And yet Congress is divided among it. l self. The pacifists, apparently, are un- moved are certain that fear propagated by the President will soon be allayed by 1 the 'silver tongue of William Jennings Bryan. And further complication is seen I in the fact that in wrestling with half a 1 dozen plans for preparedness, the 'mili- | tants'' are still at sea.
 l The first of these plans, of course, is that advocated by the President and the Secretary of War; that which would provide at an annual cost of $1S2, ,2S4 ,559, a standing army of 1,S43 men, national guard of 129,o00 men, and a continental or volunteer army of 400 O00 men.
 Second in importance in the opinion of Congress is the plan of the war college, that which would provide at an annual cost of $S5S, ,O0OO00 a standing army of 500000 men, continental standing army
 of 50o,0oO, and a continental army on fur tough of 500000.

Twin Rigs at Healdton.

Hamon & Colcord have made To-
cation for well No. 10 on the Coffey
lease in section 15-4-3. The location
is 20 feet from well No 8 on the
same lease and is 800 feet west of the
Gates well in the same section that
was drilled to a deeper sand. This
well will be started with large hole
and will be drilled to deep sand
Twin rigs at Healdton have been un-
known up to this time at Healdton,
but at Gushing there az many yells
drilled close together whe'e one will
be producing from the Wheeler sand
one from the Layton and another
from the Bartlesville. The prospects
are that number of wells in the
southeast extension will be drilled 10
the new Simpson sand.

Texas Cuts Prices.

Lima, Ohio, July 10.-Crude oil pro
duction for the first six months of
1916 in the United States reached a
total of 13S,OO0,0O0 barrels, with
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana con-
tributing a total of 100000 barrels
of that amount, according to Stats
tics compiled here.
AS compared with 1915 this is a
loss of 100000 barrels, with Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana dropping
$4,000 barrels of this total. During
the first half of the year the stocks
in the central states were reduced
$4,000 barrels and those of Illinois
100000 barrels. At the same time
the stocks in Oklahoma and mid west
field increased 3,5OO,0OO barrels.
Statistics show that the production
of the first half year has gone almost
directly into consumption. The first
sharp decline in crude oil prices in
year came today, when the Texas
company announced general reduc-
ton of 10 cents a barrel on all light
grades.

McQueen,s Solution.

II. M. Mcqueen, president of the
Maloney Oil company who has been
here several weeks 70 reach some
conclusion as to the best manner in
which to take care or his lease at
Healdton has concluded to build steel
storage. Henry Pruitt, Of Loco, who
is also interested in the company has
been here and has approved the plans
of Mr.. Mcqueen. The company has
small lease and p small production
1t did not feel able to buy steel One
remedy lay in selling the production
to some company that did have steel
but the price offered was so low that
the company could not see it's way
clear to take it. Another remedy
lay In going into the courts to force
equal runs with adjoining producers
who have steel and the company
figured that to go into courts would
require so much time that the lease
would not be worth much at the end
of the litigation and Mr.. Mcqueen
will return to his office in Kansas
City.

TALK ON PRICE.
A New High Mark Reached Each
Time Oil Starts Upward

Oil began to ascend in price the
first of August, now almost a year
ago. The tendency at this time is
for the pendulum to swing back.
Some of the northern and some of
the southern crudes have been cut.
The runs have been reduced at
Healdton, Augusta and at Cushing
The Cushing runs were first made at
rs per cent. of the production and
now they are 60 per cent. The cut
at Healdton on most of the properties
has been a deeper cut than the one
at Gushing.
Oil, like many other commodities,
has a way of fluctuating but it is
noticeable that each time it starts
upward it goes higher than before
and when it goes down it does not go
so low as it did at one time. In the
Glenn Pool lots of oil sold as low as
16c and at Beaumont vast quantities
sold for as low as &c a barrel. Head
ton which seems to have hit harder
than any other oil area in Oklahoma
has never gone below soc.
Under these conditions there is no
cause for discomfort among the oil
men. When the price slides back
ward it invariably results in greater
marketing facilities and is not held
down very long and when the upward
tendency comes the high price, is al
ways a little higher than at any other
time.

National Has Oil Saand.
week

A report from the well being drill
ed by the National Oil and Develop
ment company in section 26-2s-7w in
Stephens county states that the drill
is at a depth of 1925 feet and is top
of a sand that is making a heavy
grade of oil. The weT is shut down
and has not been drilled in. What
the production will be is not known.
C. ]. Humphreys who is here repre-
senting that company confirms the
report but states that the depth is
approximately 2SOO feet instead of

into for several days.
Prospects at Fox.

One of the men who has closely
observed the Fox district says it will
be sixty days yet in all probability
before a test is drilled there to a
depth that will determine to any de
gree what the field will produce in
oil. Some Encouragement outside of
the profession is heard because op-
erations are so slow but this dis
couragement is not based upon any
fact that warrant it. The Gypsy gas
well is now making some oil and of
a high grade and the chances are that
when the heavy gas pressure is o.-
of the way the same sand that is pro-
ducing gas will begin to produce oil
in paying quantities. The prospects
are that the Fox district will be a
field of high grade oil.

The Silver Family show, which APP

was well attended as usual. The
night was hot and with the band con-
cert in full swing the attractions
scattered. The band travelling with
the show played some excellent selec-
tons.
The aerial Stones showed some
unique work on the tight wire and
also performed creditably on the
swinging bars. Bessie Mack gave an
exhibition of daring in her perform
ance on the swinging ladder. Paul
Wenzel as the human monkey at
tracted great deal of attention es-
pecially among the children. His
feats were original and his imita-
tions of monkey were real.
The Silver show this year is divided
into two sections. Show number two
came to Belding. 1t is under the
direct management of Sandy Cope
land, son-in-law of Bert Silver, and

Boston Woman Recommending
Ii to Her Friends
Popular Boston Lady Says Tonoline
Has Proven a Godsend to Her

1t is always interesting to listen to
the statements of our friends, and
especially when you know they are
sincere and honest in what they say.
Added interest is created in a state
ment coming from one who has spent
a lifetime in Boston, where she is
well-known socially.
Such a person is Annie Stewart,
who resides in Boston, and is possess
ed of the respect and confidence of
her associates, and is willing for any
one to call on her to verify the fol-
lowing signed testimonial.
II have suffered with stomach
trouble for the past seven years. 1t
took the form of indigestion and
dyspepsia. / had dizzy spells ard
headaches, and after / ate a little
food it would ferment and cause gas
to form in my stomach. / had pains
all over my body, and was chronical-
ly constipated. My liver was torpid,
and / felt generally miserable. / had
doctored and had been in the hos
pital, but received no permanent re-
lief. l was so nervous and restless
that at night / could scarcely sleep.
The gas pressing under my heart
caused palpitation and when / arose
in the morning / was just as tired as
when | retired. About two weeks
ago / began to take tonoline, and /
can truthfully state that it has done
wonders in my case. l am feeling
like a new woman and can eat any
kind of food. / sleep the night
through and have no more aches or
pains; in fact, it has cured me, and !
am recommending it to all my friends
as it has been a Godsend to me-"
All druggists sell and guarantee
tonoline.
There are numerous symptoms Of
this trouble that tonoline can relieve.
In fact. any Of the following may de-
note affections Of the stomach, indig-
estion. belching of wind, bad breath,
sick. throbbing headache, poor cir
culation, night sweats, that tired
feeling, costiveness, coated tongue, or
poor complexion.
Caution:-As tonoline is recon-
mended as a flesh builder those not
wishing to increase their weight 10
pounds or more should not take il
continuously.--adv.
