Jury TO DETERMINE
THE VALUE OF LOVE
Simply a Meal Ticket.

liam Black
Simply a Meal Ticket.
So far as l know there has been no
judicial indication given these men to
help them arrive at a correct estimate
of the affections of the wandering
Black, On just what theory should
the jury go to work? To many wom-
en- the value of a husband-if not Of
his love--is conditioned by his income.
If words had not been given us to con-
ceal our thoughts, the average indict-
ment for the alienation OF the affec-
tions would read alienation Of the
meal ticket"
A husbands love is either star dust
or common dust, the most precious
thing in the world or the most worth
less thing. When a wife has lost it,
its one real bitter-sweet value to
her is mcmory-and that she can have
without a lawsuit. A woman knows,
even if she sometimes blinds herself
to her knowledge, that there is no
money measure for love. But men
have bought it for so long-at least
they think they have-that they doubt
less take quite seriously the notion
that husbands love has a definite
financial equivalent.
Notable Cases OF Cash for Love.
The courts treat such cases serious
ly. Newspaper readers-and the sher-
ifs jury that is to pin a price tag on
Mr.. Blacks romantic abilities may
be interested in the values assigned to
other husbandly devotions.
The most costly love of husband
that l have been able to discover is
that bestowed by George B. Arm
strong, a vaudeville actor. A New
York sheriff jury awarded to Mrs.
Armstrong the full damages asked by
her $4,000, in her suit against Miss
Pearl Abbott, On actress, whom she
accused Of having hypothecated the
affection sof George B.
Apparently an actress has to pay
more than a widow for catching a
husbands love and running off with
it. In the supreme court of Mineola,
L. l., Mrs. Sarah Murdoch was award
ed mere $4,000 for the loss of her
spouse. She brought suit against Mrs.
Matilda Avery, of Poughkeepsie, whose
husband had died several years before,
Mrs. Avery had employed Mr.. Muir
dock to manage some property for
her, and according to the evidence, she
began to Rlrt with her manager, He
responded to such an extent that his
wife left him and brought suit.

time until the advance in oil prices
should arrive.
He organized the Westfeld Pero-
leum Company, with capital stock
of 100000, divided into shares Of
81 each, full paid and worcestershire,
II is the plan to sell just enough
stock TO complete an ample drilling
fund and begin work at once.
Derney believes, as do many other
experienced oil men, that the West
field lease is a second Healdton, Land
has been leased around 1t in every
direction, and the McMann Company,
one of the largest and most success
full in the entire field, is drilling a
big test well near the leases, Charles
n. Gould. former state geologlst, says
of this locality: In my judgment
drilling along this anticline should
produce oil and gas in large quanti-
ties"
Should this company's first well
prove a gusher OF 1000 barrels day
Cand this is not improbable, as many
wells in the nearby Healdton field
run from 1000 to 1000 barrels d
day. the immense acreage would i'm
mediately be worth a huge fortune,
perhaps millions. 1000 barrels day
would bring at the present price OF
oil something over 100000 a year.
A few dollars invested in such COM
pany at this time might easily win
huge profit.
The drilling fund will soon be com
plete. After drilling starts it will be
matter of only few weeks until
investors will know whether second
Healdton has been discovered and all
will have made big money.
In speaking OF the opportunity, Mr..
Berney, president Of the company, says
1T is without doubt one Of the rarest OF
the Oklahoma's rare opportunities to share

The greatest increases we're in the
New River and Pocahontas fields en-
bracing Fayette, Mcdowell, Mercer
and Raleigh counties. Logan county,
in the southwestern part OF the state
and Tucker county, in the northern

The increase was made in commercial
coal shipped to market as the quantity
made into coke within the state, thai
used locally near the mines, and thal
used by the mines for steam and heat
all decreased.
Increase in shipments TO tidewater

Some Hitch in Letting.

There seems to be some hitch in
the letting Of the road contract for
having the some twenty-one miles OF
road in Clay district, for which S24O,-
900 worth of bonds were recently vot-
ed. There is growing sentiment
among the taxpayers that nine foot
road will be little better than no road
Improvement at all, and unless the
advisory board and the county COM
missioners reject all such foolish bids
and adopt the Doddridge county plan,
and attempt to build the road them
selves, under the supervision OF a
competent engineer, or let the con-
tract at so much a square yard, there
will not be enough money In quar-
ter of a million bond issue to build
any road, after the graft Is squeezed
out, The bond issue is sufficient to
build a fairly good permanent road
over all the proposed territory called
for in the bond issue, provided the
money is used judiciously. Something
of the kind must be done or some TAX
payer will enjoin the whole issue and
the matter will drag through the
courts for years.
