THE BENEFITS OF POND

According to the report of the state
game and fish warden just issued Ok
lahoma City alone sends over $25, 900
annually to foreign markets for fresh
amount for the entire state. Fish
once each week for Oklahomas 300
0O0 families to the value of two bits
would amount to $3,900,0O0 annually.
The one way to get them is to build
artificial ponds and stock them with
fish The department believes it is
safe in assuring a supply of fish with
which to stock all ponds as fast as
they are built.
"A pond on every farm in Okla
homa not already having living water
would amount to body of water lar
ger than Salt Lake, and prevention of
both floods and drouth," said the re
port "A pond is an improvement
that adds more than its cost to the

MARKET HERE
FOR ALL PEA
NUTS GROWN
ARDMORE OIL AND MILLING CO.
ANNOUNCES THAT THEY WILL
TAKE EVERY BUSHEL GROWN
HERE AT THE MARKET PRICE.

Manager Lindsey of the Ardmore
Oil & Milling Co., announces that he
will purchase every bushel of peanuts
grown in this section, at the market
price, and urges the farmers to get
busy and plant big acreage this year
This will be good news to those who
were anxious to plant more peanuts
and less cotton, but were afraid to
do so on account of an uncertain mar
ket. For the past five years the pre-
.vailing prices in this vicinity have
been from so to 80 cents per bushel.
Walter Colbert who perhaps will
have the largest acreage, states that
this is an opportunity that the farm
ers of Carter county should not over
look. The average yield per acre in
this county is fifty bushels, although
Mr.. Colbert states that there is plenty
of land that will double that yield.
Mr.. Colbert and secretary West of
the chamber of commerce were in
conference this morning relative to
securing seed. 1t is their desire to
secure as many orders as possible and
send in a lump for the Spanish seed,
thereby saving quite an item in cost
OF seed. Anyone desiring to secure
seed, may communicate with the
chamber of commerce here, or with
Mr.. Colbert and they can be accommo-
dated
Secretary West states that there is
no more valuable crop grown on the
farm than peanuts. At fifty cents per
bushel, and the minimum crop per
acre of fifty bushels, it will be seen
that it then has cotton beaten mile

such thing as minimum growth per

are that the price will be nearer sew.

of hay that will pay for the entire cost
OF cultivating the crop. Mr.. Colbert
has been an active missionary for the
peanut in this county for a number of
years, and has succeeded in converting
many cotton growers to his theory.
The end of the European war is not
yet in sight and until that little diff
ficulty is settled, cotton cannot be
shipped to the belligerents in any con-
siderable quantity and unless the
acreage is decreased, the price is going
to be very low. In order to Offset this.
Mr. Colbert is urging that farmers de-
crease their cotton acreage to a min
imum and increase the acreage of pea
nuts, now that they have an assured
market and thus be prepared for the
slump in price of cotton that is bound
to follow an increased acreage while
the war is in progress.
Mr. Lindsey states that machinery
will not be installed here, but the Oil
Mill Company has machinery for han
ding peanuts in one of their plants
and the nuts will be shipped from this
point. He states that he will take
every bushel grown regardless of the
amount, and the market price will be
paid in cash for the same. This should
stimulate farmers to increase acreage
in peanuts and induce those who have
never raised them to begin at once.
The proper time to plant peanuts
is about the same as cotton, although
they may be proftably planted as late
as the middle of June. One bushel of
seed will plant an acre with plenty in
the drill. The ground should be laid
outout as for cotton and the peanut
is cultivated in precisely the same
manner, if anything they can be left
a little thicker in the drill. There
is not a crop grown that is as easily
uHueISlOOu ny lHe average COTTON
farmer as peanuts, and it requires no
extra equipment with the exception
of picker to grow them.
Peanuts are hardy and are less liable |
to failure than most any other crop
that can be grown, and with a local |
market should prove a great boon to !
farmers of this section. Mr.. Colbert !
and Mr.. West are active missionaries |
for the peanut, and have already in |
duced several farmers who have never |
grown them, to put in few acres as |
an experiment feeling that once they |
get them started to raising peanuts, |
they will gradually get away from cot
ton and will be more prosperous.
Last year seven tank cars of pea
nut oil were shipped from Oklahoma,
the most of this oil IS used in the I
of Oleomargarine, and
olive oil. Manufacturers have found |
that peanut oil is superior for these
Three of the seven cars
shipped from the state were sent from

FRANTIC INVESTORS
have GENIUS HELD
Youth With Secret Dye Formula
Arrested for Theft

New York, Nov. 25.-Henry Clay
Arbutle, 10 years old, who holds the
secret upon which the prospects of
the International Dye company Of
Milwaukee hang, was arrested last
night in front of the Hotel Knicker-
booker, Forty second street and
Broadway The police of the coun-
try had been looking TO rhim since
last Saturday, when he disappeared
from Milwaukee, taking with him the
formulas and the hopes of the dye
corporation, which planned to manu-
tacture dyes as good as those made
in Germany. They are his own for
mulas, and he was locked up at Po-
lice Headquarters, charged specifically
with the theft of platinum and chem
1cals worth $4,000, which he had
been using in his experimental work
in Milwaukee.
Dispatches from Milwaukee last
night said it wasn't the platinum and
it wasn't Arbutle that William Oester
reich, president Of the international
Dye Company wanted SO much to
get back as the secret on the basis Of
which he had formed the dye cor
poration. Arbutlo was getting So
500 a year, and had a promise of big
bonuses if the dye corporation made
money.
Little is known in Milwaukee of the
young genius, except that several
months ago he went from business
man to business man trying to inter-
est them in a dye process by which
he said dyes could be made as good
as any in the world and at a low cost.
Finally he interested Mr. Oesterreich
and several others and the dye con-
Germ was organized. Arbutle got the
first installment of his $4,000 salary,
a lot Of expensive apparatus, and was
put to work
Last Saturday he failed to show up

His Big Feet Betrayed Him.

The arrest last night was made by
Detectives Laukman and Gorevan of
the first branch detective bureau, who
picked up Arbutle on a description
sent to New York police department
by Chief Jansen Of Milwaukee. This
description said that Arbutle was six
feet one inch in height, very slim,
and had big feet.
The detectives said after the arrest
that Arbutle told them he had left
Milwaukee because he wished to de-
Vc!op his dye secret alone. They said
he told them he left Milwaukee in
his automobile at noon on Saturday
going to Chicago. Arbutle was quot
ed as saying that after he had a
smash in his auto, he sold the ma
chine, and left Chicago for New York
On the Twentieth Century Limited on
Tuesday, arriving here the next day.
The detectives said they went with
Arbutle last night to 222 Madison
avenue, where he had a furnished
room. There, they said, they found
platinum and gold worth $4,000.
There were fifty small pieces of the
precious metal, they said, a Der
of platinum cups, a coil of platinum
d Il.
There was also a sheet Of 24-karat
sold. A quantity of chemicals was
also found in the room, including a
sx-ounce bottle of gold sodium, said
to be worth SIS, and a one-half-ounce
bottle of gold chloride, said to be
worth $40. The police said that Ar
