brought into this controversy by our opponents and not by us, but I want to say that patriotism has absolutely no place whatever in this fight. The closing of the local telephone ex- change, condition that we don't want to bring about. would not hurt the government in the least. The In- ternational Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, in session recently, adopted resolutions whereby we assured the government of our entire cooperation in the winning of this war and we mean to stand behind them stead fastly. But if the people of this city would do as the government would do they would get behind these young la dies and help them get decent living wages and the right to organize, there by putting an end to the present strike. We are willing to abode by the peoples decision but want them to hear our side fully"
 GOble Catechises Girls.
 MT. Broach was introduced by. D. L.. Goble, who organized the operators union, and who interviewed several of the members of the striking girls union before the assembly.

That she received $4.80 per week for six months, when she re- ceived raise of cents per day. She stated that last November she receiv- ed raise to $6.90 per week, the wage she was receiving before the organiza- tion auitation She stated that the Of- ficials of the company were very nice to her before she joined the union, but afterwards were very much different and gave her more work to do. She stated that committee had tried to induce her not to join the union.
 Miss Stella Piper stated that she had been in the employ of the com pany for three and one-half years.

Doherty Official Denies Deal Is On.

Oil Trade Journal: The report EN-
anating from Kansas City early in the
month that Standard Oil interests were
negotiating with the Doherty interests
for the purchase of the latter's produc-
ing properties in Kansas was denied by
an official close to Henry l.. Doherty.
II was stated that the rumor probably
grew from the fact that A. C. Bedford,
president of the Standard Oil Co, of
New Jersey, made a trip over the Doh
erty properties after delivering his ad-
dress at Kansas City on Oct. 2. Sir
Frederick Black, of the British War
Mission. who also spoke at Kansas City
was a member of the party. Both Mr..
Bedford and the British representative
spent several days in the Kansas and
Oklahoma fields for the purpose of fam
iliarizing themselves with actual condi-
tions in the fields and talking over the
general oil situation with the producers.

CHRISTIAN REVIVAL MEETING.

The First Christian church revival
campaign continues. Much interest was
manifested last evening and two more
were added to the church. The sche'
dule OF services for tomorrow follows
Bible school and communion service In
the morning. The congregation Is then
dismissed and go In a body to Conven
ton Hall to hear Judge c. -. Ames
The evening worship will begin at $3.50
wit ha rousing Christian Endeavor
prayer meeting. Evangelistic services
at 1880. An enthusiastic song service
for thirty minutes In charge OF Claud
Kennedy will precede the sermon. Mrs
r. H. Orr will sing a solo. The sermon
theme is. THE Heart OF God"
The subject last night was "Will Mo
rality Save, Or Is Morality All God Re
quires OF Us In Order TO Gain Saliva
tion?" The pastor said in part: Con
siderina this question let us go at once
to the Bible, for II tells us what we
know OF God and His dealings with tho
race. II is common for men to project
opinions as to what God will or will
not do; but these opinions must be tried
out by the Word OF God.
"'To the law and to the testimony,
said the old prophet. The story OF the
conversion of Cornelius was one of ex
amples OF conversions which the Holy
Spirit saw fit to preserve as models for
future generations. Cornelius was a
splendid type of a moral man. but his
goodness was not sufficient Now, let
us draw a contrast between morality
and Christianity. Morality makes no
provision for the future. The moralist
is a perfect man, but we find no such
man in Ardmore. "All have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God" The
great question for us to consider is mot
what | think about ii, but what God
says about it, l do not care how good
people are. they ought to obey the gos-
pei: / do not care how moral they are.
they should share the blessings of the
Lord by obedience. This may be the
battle-ground of Christianity for years to
come. whether or not we may push the
garden, Golgotha and the grave out of
the way, and go direct to God on our
own merits. Personally, l prefer to
cling to the teaching of the word OF
the Lord; INprefer to come before the
throne through the precious blood of
Christ"

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Nov. 10.-Substantial buying
by large houses sent corn values today
up grade. Purchases appeared based
on firmness of the New York stock
market. Offerings were light and quick
" absorbed. Opening quotations, which
ranged from is to 5-S cents higher
with December llS is and May lib
to 1.I3 1.2, were followed by decided
advance.
Oats showed Independent strength
and touched the highest figures in sew
eral weeks Reports were current that
deliveries of oats from first hands were
likely to fall off sharply on account OF
farmers being busy with corn.
Higher prices on hogs and cereals
gave only temporary firmness to pro-
visions. The market lacked aggressive
support.

HUMBLE COMPANY EXPANDING.

Oil Trade Journal: The Humble Oil
& Refining Co. of Houston, already an
important factor in the oil producing
business in the North and South Texas
and Ardmore fields is expanding its
operations in the refining industry.
Early in October il purchased the plant
and equipment of the Dixie Oil & Re-
fining Co, at San Antonio for $3.50 900.
The physical properties consist OF a site
of % acres southest of San Antonio on
which are a skimming plant and lubri-
eating works with a crude charging cap
acity of 1900 bbls.. a 2-story concrete
office building 112x150 II. and filling
station in the city. 50 all steel tank cars,
SIX White motor trucks and other ac-
cessories. The Dixie corporation, capi-
talized at 5000 900. has been dissolved,
but the names of the Dixie brands will
be continued. Fifty per cent. of the
refinery's output is marketed i'm and
around San Antonio.
The management of the Humble oil
& Refining Co. was influenced in buy
ing the Dixie because IL was a going
concern and making money and the
purchaser needed a plant to refine its
North Texas production. which is one
of the best grades OF light oil in the
country. For the first fifteen days in
October. its daily production on the
Serrien and Schulz leases in the Burk-
burnett field averaged 23o0 barrels net
per day since Increased by a new well
TO over 5000 barrels daily. Storage
tanks and a loading rack will be put
in at Iowa Park and these will be con-
nected with the wells at Burkburnett
