conferences the amount and terms OF
the big war loan were fixed. It was
for $500, 100000 with interest at 5 pes
cent year, to be sold to the public
at 9S, which gave almost 6 per cent of
q return to the investor. After the de-
tails were arranged, a syndicate Of
American bankers was formed which
agreed to hold it's bonds from th-
public market for 60 days. On Decem-
ber 15. this syndicate expired and the
bonds, having been publicly listed on
the New York stock exchange, were
publicly traded in. They went as low
as 941s, but were bought as their low
price meant even higher interest
than 6 per cent. Less than S200,000,
600 of the half billion loan was put or
the open market, bankers and bond
houses which were members of the
syndicate, withdrawing over $500, ,G00,-
900 of the entire issue.
Financiers who nave watched the
remarkable course Of events in the
last year, predict that 1916 will see
even greater expansion in both the
financial and Industrial life of this
country.

Nature created him member of
the African race with American ten
dencies. Nature also endowed him
with two good legs and couple OF
feet upon which to stand and walk.
Accident removed oDs u the legs tor

Art supplied the defect and gave to
him nimble wooden peg on which
to perambulate. Nature supplied him
with an appetite which had tombe

had to have money and to have money
he says he had to sell whiskey.
That is the reason J. M. Thomas.

TRAINING
SCHOOLS

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 4.-The
first annual inspection OF the normal
training high schools is now being
made by State Superintendent r. H..
Wilson The schools at Clinton and
Elk City will be visited this week and
the other thirty-four schools which
have been approved for this course
will be personally inspected as soon
as the tour can be made. Reports
which have been received Indicate
that these thirty six high schools will
graduate more than five hundred per-
sons who will have received profes-
sional training for teachers and who
will receive two year teachers GER
tificates from the state superintend-
ent. Aside from the fact that the
rural schools will be benefited by hav-
ing this many trained teachers adde
20 the ranks, the new law authorizing
these high school courses is Of finall-
cial benefit to the cities which main
tain these schools because it. enables
these young teachers to he trained at
home and the money which would be
necessary to pay board and other ex-
/ penses at a normal school is kept at
home.

GAS ENOUGH TO

By United Iress.


BY United Eress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--1he
United STAGES geological survey has
completed a report on 4 e natural gas
available for Dallas and Fort Worth.
The report shows that the Perolia
field is forty per cent exhausted and
,a4 supply the two cities from three
to five years longer.
Mexia has the Groesbeck field which
can supply the cities mentioned and
other towns for three years if it were
tapped.
1t is pointed out that the gas field
near the southern Oklahoma border
has a sufficient supply for the Texas
cities, but the piping of it for long
distance is a considerable problem.
The two cities are advised TO hus-
band their gas supply for domestic
purposes instead of using it to pro-
mote factories.

title as ex-president. That hy-
phen never suited him.
Representative E. A. Sims, one
of the most prominent republi-
cans of the state, who has been
at the national capital for some
weeks. has come out solidly for
Senator Weeks for the republican
nomination for president. With
Sims and other republican leaders
of his state in favor of a rank
stand-patter for president, we fail
to see where the progressives will
get off, even if some of them give

machine he is leading. He can

Twice the state legislature i'm

A committee of seven members
of the faculty held sessions ex-
tending over a period of eight
weeks, and received the represen-
tations of various societies, indi-
viduals and political parties who
ranged themselves for and against
compulsory drill. In the end the
members of the committee issued
their report, five favoring reten-
ton of drill, one urging abolition
and one believing the student
should decide whether he would
take the course.

who boldly steps to the courthouse
and obeys the mandate of the law
in buying a permit should have
the appreciation of the churches
and temperance workers who have
thanked their respective views OF

it is. Some few views have been
expressed that permit buyers
should be upheld to public dis
approval, but inasmuch as the re-
ligious element of the state, par
ticularly the protestant branch,
has set it's seal of approval on the
law. it is hard to see how COM
