NO TIME NOW FOR DISCORD.

TT THERE still remain any Prussan sympahizers in
this country those followers Of that military system
should leave this land and SO back the place where they
will be more in harmony with public affairs
We take it that the Germans who live in the United
States came here TO get away from oppression and to cut
loose from the Prussan discipline that has been stepped
into the souls of the people by that military machine which
tried to sweep the world
Our policies on this side OF the ocean are quite clcar,
defined and those who cannot conform to the idea which
Americans hold should so back Prussia where they can
be in accord with the autocrac rule This country is ma

OIL COMING THIS WAY.

ElFTEEN years ago found the people OF Oklahoma City
talking occasionally about oil we'll that had been
drilled al point $50 miles from this city Today find
drilling points so near that Oklahoma City appears
be surrounded by oil fields
1t will probably surprise the people OF this city 70 learn
ha, drilling in operation point barely twenty miles
southwest OF here also drill is at work twenty four
miles north OF this point While neither test shows oil
at this time oil follows drilling and does not preccde it. So
We expect that both tests will encourage this com
munlty,
OIL fields coming this way While many Of our
citizens opposed to oil wells within the city limits
account OF damage which oil causes handsome lawns,
all Of US will be quite willing iet oil wells at the
outskirts OF the city where lawns have yet been esab

near at hand when Oklahoma City will be the active oil
