The Situation

So far, there has nothing happened
to disturb the situation and oil men are
regaining confidence and the big cont
panies are beginning to feel that they
can enter on campaign OF drAAns
operations without fear or hindrance
from government Intervention.
Even the most likely plan that ha.
been suggested as being adopted by
the government in order to encourage
drilling seems most unlikely in view
of the fact that many big wells are
being brought in in the Butler county
fields. Five wells alone have increased
the production 10000 barrels. They
are as follows: Carter Oil company
No. l Orban. Trapshooters No. l and
No. Williams Walker, Gypsy No. 5
Shumway, No. Carday; each good
for 5000 barrels or better the best
five wells ever drilled within a given
length of time in the mid-continent
field or within the same area OF ter
ritory.
The plan. however, referred rU
above is that the government may de-

Ought to Get OIL

Every now and then town has the
nerve to drill test which will bring
prosperity TO its people If oil is found
and hero is one being drilled entirely
bv Norman capital and Norman Is a
college town where people have no
money to throw away. The well re-
ferred to is the Cleveland County De-
Nelopment company test in 31-9n-1e
now drilling at $50 feet. other wells
in line with this are the Piquard test
In 23-7n-1e which is drilling at 60O
feet and the Cleveland County Oil G.
Gas Co in the northwest OF 26-6n-1e
which is drilling at 500 feet. Pretty
good tests beyond n doubt.

prize, for in a small town near Atlanta
is a man whose face has never felt
the touch of a razor. Tonsorially
speaking, he's a regular vestal virgin.

THE RIGHTS OF A STATE.

There will be many papers over
Georgia to sing their Il told you
Sc" songs this week. The supreme
court has declared unconstitutional the
-paralleling act of the general as
sembly in regard to the w. & A. road.
Many of these newspapers will assume
the attitude that their positions pos
sibly inspired the supreme court.
The Times-Recorder was one of the
first newspapers in the state of Geor-
gia to espouse the cause of the sale OF
the state road. Continually and with
cut retracting one statement we have
persisted The recent lease of the w.
{. A. does not affect our position, and
we have no apologies for the energetic
business men who contracted the lease.
The same moral wrong which was done
by the anti-parallelling law, has been
declared legal error by the supreme
court. In part, the same truth remains
that the state of Georgia is competing
with individuals in private business
by maintaining the railroad as her
property.
The people along the line of the road
are suffering. Their courts are kept
busy. with the roads legislation, and
no taxes from the property certainly
does not benefit the treasures along
the line of roadway.
Georgia has no right to continue in
the railroad business, and maybe some
day we may sing an Il told you so"
song when it is ultimately sold by the
state. and possibly on the block.

LOCAL DRUGGISTS
TELL HOW TO TAKE THE KERNEL
OUT OF THE NUT.
Two Processes Invented by Two
Frenchman.

A great deal of interest was aroused
few years ago by the announcement
in our columns of the discovery made
by two eminent French chemists of Il
method of extracting or separating
from the liver of the cod the curative
tissue-building principles of peptones
and discarding the obnoxious, greasy,
vile tasting oil, the thought of which
is so disagreeable to so many thous-
ands of people.
In other words, they discovered a
method of getting the kernel out Of
the nut because 1t is the concentrated
essence of medicine found in the Gods
liver that does the good The oil is
like the shell Of the nut, absolutely
useless to patient, and besides being
useless, it is extremely obnoxious and
disagreeable to sight. taste and smell.
The cod liver peptones combined
with beep peptones, iron and mangan-
ese peptonates and glycerophosphates
in rich tonic wine, put up under the
name of Vinol, is a great combination
of remedies to strengthen and revival
ize the human body and assist nature
to expel disease.
Hooks Pharmacy, the leading drug
gists of our city, were quick to rec
ognize the value and secured the
agency for Americas. Leading drug"
gists in over 1000 cities and towns in
the United States also secured the
agency for this marvellous strength
and body builder, and its success has
been closely watched with ever in
creasing interest year after year.
When our readers are told that Vi
mol is sold on a positive guaranteed by
Hooks Pharmacy and all these other
druggists to create strength for the

coughs and bronchitis, or their pur-
chase money returned, an dout of the
millions of bottles of Vinol sold since
the discovery was made less than
three-tenths of one per cent. have been
returned by dissati6ed customers, it
will give our readers very clear idea
of the success of this wonderful dis
covery.
So to all those people in our midst

OF cod liver oil, we call attention to
this delicious vinol which contains the

valuable remedial agents above noted

The supreme court of Georgia has
declared the anti-parralleling act of
the general assembly in regard to the
w. A., as unconstitutional. This is as
it should be, and the reasons given by
the court are the same as advanced by
nj ny newspapers of the state who be
l;e1ed that no state had right to use
its sovereignty as against the interests
of its citizens where the state was COM
peting in private business. The court
has upheld the integrity of the state, a
thing which the legislature did not
seem to be able to do.

The reply to Germany had been long

TO be more than a refusal Of the
Kaiser's proposition. The reply to
President Wilson, on the other hand, is
expected to be a much longer docu-
