People are still talking about the
financial course they ought to steer
while the war lasts. On this subject
a cartoonist lately gave some pretty
straight and short advice when he
said: "Economize, but don't be an
Econo-MISER."
The man who knocks out all his reg
ular habits of living, just so he can sit
in a darkened room and count his nick
els by candle light, isn't going to help
very much-either himself or his
neighbors. On the other hand, there
will be a lot of help, for all people con
cerned, in the man who keeps his head
first, and his money afterward He
will use his brains to decide where he
can save without injury, and at the
same time where and how to go on
spending and buying.
This is the job which the national
economy board, appointed by the pres
ident, is trying to do for the whole
country. The board wants to keep
business moving, but it says there
must be some readjustments For in
stance, the American people are now
paying ten per cent on every purchase
they make, for the luxury of having
their goods delivered. The national
beard says we should have fewer un-
necessary deliveries, and storekeepers
will doubtless be glad to accept this,
The trouble will come in getting the
people to put up with the change, af-
ter twenty years when women in cities
have had every spool of thread deliv-
cred by wagon.
Also the national board wants US

True Preparedness.

A motorist, iourneying through the
Rumpus Ridge region of Arkansas,
came upon two men wallowing in the
dust of the big road and belaboring
each other right zealously. AS the
traveller brought his car TO halt to
keep from running over the combat
ants, they arose and whacked a por-
ton Of the dust from their garments.
Then, stepping from the track, they
produced pipes from their pockets,
and one offered his tobacco to the 9th
er in the most amicable way.
Pardon me, gentlemen" said the
motorist, ''but what were you fighting
about?"
"Aw, that wasn't fighting, presize-
ly" replied one of the men, my

LUST OF CONQUEST LURES GER.
MANY TO HER DOOM

II should not have been a matter Of
surprise to anybody when the German
chancellor refused to accept the Rus
sion slogan peace without annexation
and without indemnities." The an.
nouncement Of such a policy on the
part of the kaisers government would
be equivalent to the admission that
Germany is defeated.
When the war lords Of Germany
brought on the gigantic conflict they
knew exactly what they were doing
or, at any rate, they thought they did.
They knew that to win world mastery
would cost them a stupendous price
hut, after fifty years Of preparations
for the struggle they believed that
they were able to put over their plan
of conquest 1t was not to be expect
ed that war-mad autocracy would
yield till the last vestige of hope is
gone.
While we know little of the actual
conditions in Germany, it is evident
that the fate of the Hohenzollerns and
of the entire German military caste is
hanging in the balance and that un-
less the war is won destruction is
their doom. The declaration of the
imperial chancellor proves that lust of
conquest which was the motive that
actuated them in launching the con-
test, is still Turing them to the inev-
table disaster. The kaiser and his as
sociates know that they are stalking
all on the great gamble-they win all
or lose all and hence they are not 60
ing to yield till the last chance for
success is gone
At any rate the announcement of
Chancellor Hollweg has made the is
sue clearer. 1t is to be an arrogant
victorious Germany, demanding every
thing, or a yanquished Germany, re-
nouncing all claims to conquest and
world mastery To prevent the tri
umph of the German aims, America
and her allies will fight till the finish
and, united as they now are, the out
come though it may be distant is GER
tain.

The last issue of the Oil and Gas
Journal, published at Tulsa, gives the
following summary Of operations in
the Chickasha field:
Chickasha, Okla, July 2.-The Cor
ton Oil & Refining Co., drilling near
Cement Okla, in Section POS struck
a big flow of gas on Saturday at a
depth Of / 500 feet The drill has only
penetrated the sand and they are now
shut down TO await the arrival of a
packer to shut off the water before
going into the sand Considerable ex-
citement prevails at Cement over this
gasser. which is estimated at from 10,-
100000 to 10000, 900 feet of gas, and
Chickasha people are hopeful that at
last they will enjoy the privilege Of
using gas in abundance from the new
field. This proves beyond a question
Of a doubt that there is an oil and gas
field at Cement and speculation in
leases in that district has become
spirited, The big companies have
rushed their scouts to the well and the
citizens Of Cement and surrounding
towns are awaiting with eagerness the
drilling in of this well.
Just east of Chickasha, in Grady
county, near Alex, Okla, there are
humber Of wells drilling. Several
have encountered showings Of both oil
and gas. The Santa Fe well in section
&25 produced about 2O,OOO,O00 feet of
gas at about 1850 feet or at the same
depth as was encountered by the Cor
ton people. One Of the most interest
ing tests in this locality is that Of the
