WHEAT EXCHANGE
IS LESS FEVERISH
Notwithstanding That Prices at Times
OYertOpped Previous Marks,
Trading Is Slower.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Notwithstandin
that the wheat market overtopped at
times today the highest prices of the
previous session, trading was rela-
lively contracted in volume and fiuctu-
atoms as a rule did not exceed the
usual limits. Opening prices, which
ranged from 1Ac decline to &c ad-
vance, with September at 1430144
and December at 14S014SL, were
followed by material setback all
around, and then rise to well above
yesterdays finish.

Later the high prices seemed to
make buyers more timid and a bear
ish reaction took place. The close was
unsettled, 1sc to &c net lower with
September at la to 1.443s and Decem-
Der at 1471a.

AS soon as a young woman becomes
identified with motion pictures her
whole career is translated into one
glorious romance, such is the subiim-
ating power of the imagination OF the
press agent Consider, for instance,
the story OF how Audrey Munson be-
gan the career that made her ia
nous sculptor's model.
Like thousands of other girls" de-
poses the press agent, who might new
er have told the story had not Miss
Munson posed for the film Purity"
"..Mss Munson came to New York
alone, pursuing elusive opportunity.
New York was not kind to her, and
her little pile of savings grew lower
and lower. But, just as in popular
fiction, the silver lining of the cloud
appeared when the deluge threatened,
and in the most bohemian sort of way
imaginable. The girl was struck by
an automobile as she crossed a street
near Washington square, the rendez-
vous of artists. In the machine were
several men, one a sculptor in search
Of model.
when they learned the girl was not
hurt and was looking for work, the
artist asked her to come and pose for
him. OF course, he did not recognize
what a find he had in the slim, hun
CRY girl whom chance had thrown in
his way But when he came into the
studio and saw the beauty and vivic-
ity of the girl he was amazed. That
was the beginning of the brilliant ca
reer of Audrey Munson."

in the past employed as high as 1900
men.

Indians Own Large Part

The Indians have been very FORUM
ate in the Healdton field. It is stated
that at this time one-third of the
field belongs to Indians who are wards
of the government. This class of
leases is known as departmental
leases which means that all contracts
made with the Indians must be ap-
proved by the Indian department at
Washington. The government looks
closely after the interests of its wards
in the sales of oil and in the pro-rat-
ing of the runs 1t has employed A. j..
Walker to look after this work and
he is in the fields all the time and
looks after the runs with the same in

himself. While the Indians have

A Late Completion.

The 1914 Oil Company on the Eme-
line Colbert farm in 1888 has com
pleted No II at total depth of 122O
feet. The sand was reached at 1860
feet. The production is about $50
barrels. This property consists of 81
acres in 81, and 60 acres in 1854, 1t
has IA wells making about 1900 bar
rels. The company is not drilling
any wells at this time. The stock is

is being built for the purpose of keep
ing the refinery informed upon the
location of outgoing vessels and es-

when empties will arrive for load

sidering the matter of building a sta

been abandoned.

has built a large water reservoir on
their tank farm which indicates that
a pump station will be built on the
farm. This means that it is the plan
of the company to build pipe line

not be determined although the com

Where Oil Money Goes.

1t is estimated by Judge Henshaw
of the state corporation commission
that as much as one-third of the
wealth that is taken from the earth
in oil is invested back in the pur-
chase of leases and in paying for drill
ing. Not necessarily a third of the
oil money is spent this way but an
amount equal to one third of the oil
wealth. Wildcatting in southern Ok
lahoma is very active at this time, and
farmers are getting money for leases
and drillers and supply men are all
busy.
