The Situation

The oil situation looks particularly
bright according to the best informed
oil! men all over the country This is
IN spite of the fact that the petroleum
board has agreed with the govern
ment that the price of gasoline and
other commodities is to remain the
same until the end of June.
q r. Howard, wiring from Los
Angeles reiterates the above and says
that the general situation was never
so good us IL is right now, and Mr..
ioward's opportunities for obtaining
information is particularly good. He
is big producer in ;he Mid-Cor-
ttnent field and resides temporarily in
California
John Campion, one of the Oldest
and most experienced brokers, who is
in close touch with al the markets
for refined stuff is exceedingly opti-
mistic and states a most cheerful view
or the situation
G. +. Crawley at the head of the
Sinclair organization in Oklahoma
and Kansas is equally certain that
business is going to be good from now
on, hut calls attention To the shortage
OF pipe which is becoming more diff
ficult to obtain every day.
on producers are fairly well pleased
with results in the drilling of wells
and altho scattered over a wide area,
the competitions have shown better
during the last few days than was eX-
pccted. 1t gives each and every in
terest desiring oil. better chance of
obtaining a supply because of the
scattered wells and everybody should
be happy because oil is what is most
needed.
Tho price after July |, 1917 may
take its natural course again and If
SO, higher prices are confidently eN-
pected by all.

WAR TUBERCULOSIS FUND TO
FIGHT WHITE PLAGUE
To Raise $4,000, 600 BY Sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals

How many Red Cross Christmas
Seals did you buy last year? Will
You buy three times as many this
year?
Unless every purchaser of Red
Cross Seals triples his or her pur-
chase this year, the creation of a
$3,OOO,OOO War tuberculosis Cam
paign Fund will not be possible.
The American Red Cross and The
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis are
making drive for the creation of
this fund because Americas entry
into the war has revealed thousands
OF hitherto unsupported cases of tu-
berculosis that must be cared for.
and because every precaution must
be taken to safeguard our troops
abroad against the great white
plague.
Last year. $1,050,OOO was made
for the anti-tuberculosis campaign
by the sale of Red Cross Seals. This
means that 105,oOO,OOO holiday tok.
ems were sold. To raise the war
fund of 100000 it will be neces-
sary to sell 300,OOO,OOO seals this
year, and every man, woman and
child will have to help to do this bv
trebling last years purchases.
The buying Of Red Cross Christ
mas Seals is not merely a humanita-
rlan act. It is patriotic act, and
one which shows that the purchaser
has the welfare of the country at
heart.
tuberculosis is as deadly foe to
our troops as German bullets and
bombs. 1t is undermining the civil
ian life of this country and uniting
men for service in the army. Few
Americans realize that it is estimat-
ed by physicians that 2 per cent, or
100000 of the 100000 men will
be found to be victims of this dis
ease, and will therefore be among
the rejects"
These rejects" must be cared for.
The men who go to war must be pro-
'ected against infection, and the
country must be kept froo of the
'courge at time when every ounce
If vitality and energy are needed in
he service of democracy.
"Will you do your part by buying
more Red Cross Christmas Seals than
'ou ever bought bofore?" asks the
Seal Committee. Remember, every
cal provides ammunition in the
light aaginst tuberculosis"

tax payer suggested that the city
would be substantially benefited and
that property values would be great
ly improved if the new tax were
maintained for a number of years, or
at least until the city streets could
be paved, needed waterworks and
sewerage extension made and the
necessary expenses for identifying
the city could be met.
One contingency which called for
immediate action in order to provide
revenue for the city was the discon-
tinuance of a number of dramshops
in the city which would greatly cur
tail the receipts which have been
largely relied upon to ruin the bust
ness of the city, The war taxes to-
gether with the regular license costs
are making it hard for smaller dram
shops to exist and it is known that
several of them in this city will not
apply for a renewal of their license.
With falling off of license reven-
ues and continuous increase in in
terest payments on obligations and
a natural increase in city expenses
due to the steady growth of the
town. the council apparently did the
only thing possible in order to obtain
the money which it must have.
At the council meeting Monday
night it was agreed to appropriate
$500 for the Red Cross Anti-Tuber-
,ulosis Campaign.
The agreement offered by Mrs. NJ.
VI. Young to establish the relations
between the city and the owner in |
egard to land to be used FOR ceme-
cry purposes, was read and discuss
ID and referred to the Cemetery
Committee with the instruction in
egard to changes suggested.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Flesh-Pots of Epypt

Convinced by Verda Richlanders
telephone message to the construc-
tion camp that he stood in no imme-
diate. Smith spent the heel of the
afternoon in the High Line offices,
keeping in wire touch with Stillings,
whom he had sent on secret mis-
sion to Red Butte, and with Williams
at the dam. The High Line enterprise
was on the knees of the gods. If Will
liams could pull through in time, if
the river-swelling storms should hold
off, if Stanton should delay his final
raid past the critical hour-and
there was now good reason to hope
that all of these contingencies were
probable-the victory was practically
won.
Smith closed his desk at 6 o'clock
and went across to the hotel to dress
for dinner. The day of suspense was
practically at an end and disaster
still held aloof; was fairly outdis-
tanced in the race, as ii seemed. Will
liams' final report had been to the
effect that the concrete pouring was
completed, and the long strain was
off. Smith went to his rooms, and,
as once before and for a similar rea-
son, he laid his dress clothes out on
the bed. He made sure that he would
be required to dine with Verda Rich
lander, and he was stripping his coat
when he heard a tap at the door and
Jibbey came in.
Glad rags, eh ?" said the blase one
with glance at the array on the bed.

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Just this simple frock is
one of the prettiest as well
as one of the most fashion,
able that the little child can
wear. 1t is supplied with the
pockets that are so essential
to style this season and with
a big collar that is apt to be
becoming, but you can make
it with a square neck if you
prefer. 1t is a pretty model
for lawn and batiste and
gingham and all the washable
materials that little girls wear.
If gingham is used it will be a
morning frock. If an embroid-
cred muslin is substituted, with
a little lace finishing on the collar
and cuffs, it will become an
afternoon frock.
