OF course you may weary of hay before long

But don't tear your hair in burst of despair,

AUSTRALIANS EAGER TO END
WAR; EXILE DECLARES

Prof. Masaryk, the Bohemian polit-
ical leader who was condemned TO
death by the Austrian government
four months ago for high treason.
He is at present an exile in London,
and discussed with a party of cor
respondents the recent Associated
Press reports that Austria is seek

not know how to 60 about it.
THE difference between Germany
and Austria is that the German ma

Austria initiated and provoked the

KEY NOTE SOUNDED.

w. p. Scott sounded the keynote
of all free thinking Americans, when
he said that the liquor traric should
be wiped out, in his address to the
delegates of the State Camp of the
Modern Woodmen of Amerca last
week.
. The delegates We're certainly dry
apostles. for their applause was
loud. long and enthusiastic. Their
approval speaks well of the order
they represented.
Mr.. Scott declared that liquor
was one of Americas worst enemies
and that once more America was
going to declare for liberty and
freedom, by wiping out liquor bust
ness from the nation.
Mr.. Scott, never uttered more
wise word when he said, Liquor was
one of Americas worst enemies"
Mr. Scott could have gone further
and made the statement that no
matter how ruthlessly the Germans
pushed the U-boat campaign it is
impossible for them to STAY or in
jure as many Young Americans as
the Demon Alcohol" has snd is
still doing.
America, to rid herself of across
the sea enemies. must annihilate the
enemy in her own borders, in order
to end the war with Germany sue
cessfully. She must dethrone and
slay her worst and most dangerous
and bitter foe. king Alcohol" and

Bourque Makes Comment.


A. V. Bourque, who is one of the best
known oil writer's in the state, has
sent out to the Gulf Coast Oil News
the telegram which Ardmore producers
sent to the Magnolia and other compa
MES which are buying Healdton crude.
In sending the telegram Mr.. Bourque
makes the following comment:
The Magnolia Petroleum Company,
the principal purchasing agent and the
price maker in that field has grown
enormously wealthy off the produce s.
Not only that. but that concern has
prorated the oil as II saw fit and the
oil operators have been helpless.
The action of the Healdton producers
is justified. Fuel oil is selling far high.
er than is a barrel Of Healdton crude.
And even fuel oil, manufactured out
Of Healdton crude, brings far more than
does the oil, out of which 1t is manu-
factured.
1t is a nice compliment to include
purchasing agencies other than the
Magnolia Petroleum Company, in tie
telegram. The Magnolia really makes
the price in that field There is an eX-
cellent opportunity for ahother COM
pany to come to the front with a price
advance and make itself solid with the
oil men of the Healdton district.
