FANNIE HURST INVITES .
YOU TO REALLY THINK

Thought is the activity of which
the human being knows the least.
One minute of real thinking in q
lifetime is more than many per-
sons do. And when we do think
it is more apt to be because some
one inspires US from without than
because we inspire ourselves from
within. So we are eternally in
the debt of those who have
thought richly, and who seek to
share them with US, hoping that
some of the fire of them will pass
into us and flame anew. Thus we
owe gratitude to Fannie Hurst
for making us think as we read
her clearly, truthfully powerful
story, Oats for the Woman, in
Cosmopolitan Magazine.

BOND BILL REPUBLISHED,

By request we republlsh the
proposed measure to put more
taxes on the people of Marion
County for the sake of the beauti-
full system of roads we are sup
posed to be getting but haven't
got yet, owing to the tendency
on the part of the managers in
charge to grade and then use an
alleged gravel instead of rock.
There are a number of changes in
the bill since it was first proposed
but we are SO tired of this alleged
road construction in Marion that
we are not inclined today to dis
cuss it. If anybody is interested
enough in the matter to take up
the changes in detail we will do
so. We attained our object in
this bond matter, to-wit, that the
people should be allowed the
American right of voting whether
they shall tax themselves or not
and we propose that the people
shall settle this question accord
ing to their own judgement, and
whateveris their decision will be
all right with us. But we want to
say right here that for two hund.
red and fifty thousand dollars, a
quarter million, there are darned
few roads in Marion county that
are fit to travel over at any sea-

OIL DRILLING PROGRESSING
Derrick Being Erected Prepare
tory TO Drilling First Hole.

The Oklahoma parties whoship-
ped car of oil machinery here
last week are now actively at
work erecting the derrick prepar-
atory to commencing drilling the
first hole in search for oil. 1t will
take about two weeks to get
ready for starting the drill.
The location is on the property
of the Cumberland Lumber Com
pany on Peavine Mountain some
ten miles north of Crossville. The
parties behind the movement
have plenty of means and plan to
makea thorough test of the re.
gion. Seemingly. the only poss-
ible thing that can stop the work
would be inability to secure casing
when the hole has reached such
depth a few weeks later, as to
render casing necessary. They
have contracts arranged for cas-
ing, but no one can tell just what
conditions may arise to interfere
with their plans as a result of the
war. Now everything seems to
be in a very favorable attitude
for extensive prospecting work.
