Americans Who Are Quick on the Trigger Enjoy the Game Very
 Much.
THEIR ONLY COMPLAINT
Is the Fact That There Is Not Enough Rifle Shoot ing to Keep Them
 Warm.
wlru THE AMERICAN ARMY

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Nov. 2.-German snip CTS are especially active along the American front.
 Thus far no Americans have been hit, and they have replied to the snipers with interest, and it is be- leved that a number of the Ger mans as the result have lost all in terest in sniping.
 The Americans, many of them na- turaIIy quick on the trigger, greatly enjoy the game of snipine and their only complaint is that there is not enough rifle practice.
 The artillery has been active sew eraI days along the American front, with no harm resulting to the Ameri- cans. The morale of the troops is excellent.

J. G.. Hendrick of Checotah,

last week to succeed B. w.

Of the local Office of the American
Metal company.
This company has great deal
of holdings west of Baxter

lands, as we announced sometime
ago, are in the hands of this
firm. 1t was over two months
ago that this company, which is
to the zinc industry what the U.
S. Steel corporation is to the
steel industry, entered the Mis-
souri, klahoma-Kansas mining
fields. Their coming was hailed
as a good sign for the future
mining prospects of these dis
tricts, perhaps because of the
fact that this corporation practi-
cally controls the zinc market of
America.
The lands under control of this
corporation are being drilled out
thoroughly and further develop
ments will be made according to
the Qualifications of the strikes
made. Five drill rigs are work.

Sour Stomach

This is a mild form of indiges-
ton. 1t is usually brought on by
eating too rapidly or too much,
or of food not suited to your
digestive organs. If you will eat
slowly, masticate your food thor
oughly, eat but little meat and
none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour
stomach without taking any
medicine whatever. When you
have sour stomach take one OF
Chamberlain's Tablets to aid
digestion.

clined to give the other fellow n
chance.
So far as the article referring to
Doctor Burton in yesterdays paper is
concerned. 1t was intended as "a pro-
test against government interference,
as doubtless such statements as that
attributed to Doctor Burton are bound
to bring about. The oil country needs
no governmental guardianship. and
yet II is just about the luck of the
oil man to have to sit and let someone
make a price for oil far below its
value when the farmer gets top prices
for his stock.
The demand for government con-
troll and for another congressional in
vestigation is merely in the opinion of
most oil men to build a fire under
Secretary Lane and force him to open
the Usage now. Oil men here are
strong for Secretary Lane and the po-
sition he has taken. The Usage is
on account of rapid drilling thot pos
sible and is bound to increase.

stated that Doctor Burton is to sue

Standard of Indiana on account of the
advancing age of the latter.
The question is, what change in pol
icy does this mean? Most well in
formed oil men are Of the opinion that
1t will be a beneficial change so far
as the treatment accorded independ-
ents are concerned. Doctor Burton
has had a much wider experience than
