something to help in war work are
urged TO enlist for this shipment.

Oklahoma Fox History Is
Story of Tnacious Holding

The recent success i'll the Okla
homa-Fox No. 2 we'll in section !
2s2w recalls the early history OF
operations in that region.
In the early part OF the year 1914
geologist by the name of J. \.
Puffenburg, and associates, organic
ed company capitalized at Sl5,OOO
to drill on a block of 500 acres in
sections Is and 10, 2s2w, and a
location was made on land belong
ing to NJ. r. Pierce in section Is.
Earl Athey was the contracting
driller, and a small production was
reached at 1872 feet. Owing to
unfamamiliarity with the formations,
lack of operating capital, and some
mishaps such as frequently occur
wherever there is drilling for oil,
this well has never been large
producer; but at the time II was
brought in it was the pioneed well
of that region and it was the sub
ject of much discussion on the
streets of Ardmore.
About this time Healdton crude
was selling for 80 cents a barrel
and this low price, coupled with the
fact that there was no market out
let for the Wildcat i'm production
because there was no pipeline in that
part OF the field. caused interest in
the Wildcat i'm company's affairs
to wane. and Mr.. Puffenberg be-
came associated with Messrs. East
han and Sebastion, and these men
blocked up about $50 acres in sec
ton I, operating under the name of
the Oklahoma-Louisiana Company.
and drilled another well in that sec
tion on land owned by NJ. T. Pierce.
Mr.. Puffenberg, as a geologist, was
convinced that a large pool OF oil
nnderlaid that part OF the country
and was determined to find it, How.
ever, after drilling to a depth OF 1000
feet without finding pay sands, Mr..
Puffenberg's associates became dis
couraged and the hole was abandon
ed. Mr.. Athey. the driller. being
lett with orders TO plug the hole.
On learning that the hole was TO
be abandoned and plugged. Mr..
Pierce got out his copy Of the lease
contract and found that it CON
tained a clause whereby he. a. owner
OF the land. should the lessees at
any time decide 10 abandon the test.
had the right to take over the hole
and continue drilling.
Mr.. Pierce consulted Mr.. Athey
on the advisability of taking over
the well. and the result was that
few Ardmore people were induced
TO go into the project, and the Okla
homa-Fox Company was organized
with $4,000 capitalization. to take
over the well.
For about four years these pio-
neers of the 2s2w country have been
nursing this not altogether promis-
ing field and struggling against an
adverse current OF criticism and

TWO INDIANS AND NEGRO
RENEW FIGHT IN JAIL

after they were placed in Jail. The
Yarhbury boys had each deposited
a SIS cash bond and these were for

The negro said some person had
sold the Indians what purported to
be a pint OF whisky, for S., and when
they went to drink it they found the
bottle was filled with soda water.
He said they believed he was the
negro who sold it to them and
jumped on him. The negro had the
best of the fight, but sustained a
badly battered hand.

Vacuum Plants May Come.

The Fuel Administrator OF w ash-
ineton has asked the Oklahoma con-
seryation commission to do every
thing possible to conserve 1uel OIL
and within a few days 1t Is PROB
able that Art Walker, conservation
commissioner, will visit Ardmore
and the Healdton field to consult
with operators in that field regard
ing the use OF vacuum pumps. 1t
is quite probable that the Washing
ton authorities have suggested some
thing along that line; something to
the effect Of allowing moderate
use OF vacuum pumps, with the
understanding that where such
pump is being used owners OF ad
Joining leases may be connected and
receive the same benefits.
There are also rumorS OF central
lied casinghead plants which Will
operate on the gas from as many
wells throughout the field as can
be connected, the gas to be measured
by meters attached to each connec-
ton, and payments made according
ly.
The fact Of the matter is, there
are thousands OF barrels Of oil used
for fuel in the Healdton field daily,
and gas sufficient to replace this
fuel oil is going to waste.
The Carter Oil Company has
overcome this eXtravagant use OF
fuel oil in the Healdton field by
piping gas from the Fox field, and
the question naturally arises, why
not have line from the Fox field
large enough to carry gas for the
entire field? This appears, on the
face of it, like more economical
solution of the fuel problem than
vacuum pumps and casinghead gas
plants, and would probably be more
satisfactory to the field at large.

EFFICIENCY GOWN
is NEWEST IDEA

A number Of the importers have re-
turned from Paris with midseasoh
gowns, and these are disappointing, III
large measure, but few of theI,
point to something new, aud their prea-
ence is at least stimulating.
There are far more interesting
sketches coming over than gowns, Ds
khey purpose to be the new clothes
worn by the women In Paris who are
buying smart things.
Wood Pulp and Irvine.
The leading feature In the new
frccks is the constant repetition of
artificial jersey silk. matelasse and our
common friend. gaberdine. This win
ter type Of artificial silk jersey Is
thicker and heavier than anything we
have had under the Oft-repeated name.
1t has the stiffness that one associates
with fiber made from wood pulp. 1t
may be, however, that we will not
have permission to make much of It
In this country.
Matelasse is being made over here.
and also the new type Of brochure
jersey silk, and the claim Is that the
American manufacturers have made
the stamping Of the design more Sc
cure and durable than the French have
done.
Chanel sends over black gown
with tunic and narrow skirt made
of this heavy wood fiber silk jersey
which is decorated In Indian fashion
with white Irvine and tiny wooden
beads.
The importers think that this gown
will be success.
Paquin is responsible for the fash
ion Of two frocks, both worn at the
same time, and 1t is this idea of hers
that is being copied here and exploited
as an efficiency gown.
This fashion Is made easily possible
by the prevailing idea of a sleeveless
medieval tunic showing sleeves and
collar Of another fabric. AS PaQuin
works out the idea, the sleeves and
collar Of another fabric are also of an
other color and belong to separate
gown that is covered by the medieval,
sleeveless affair Of wool or some other
protective material. As these long
tunics are fastened down the middle Of
the front or back, they are easily re-
moved. A sash is girdled about the
hips once or twice, to give them char
acter.
That Sleeveless Blouse.
What may be safely called a medie-
val garment is the sleeveless blouse
that insists upon being seen at every
turn Of the fashions. There Is MOTH
ing new about the loose, straight tunic
cut Off at the hips or below, and we
once wore 1t In half-hearted fashion,
calling It Russian blouse.
1t has been exploited for two years,
but never taken seriously by our pub
lie as a whole, although certain seq
ments Of women wore 1t constantly as
a becoming and useful garment.
The garment In its new shape pre-
sents itself on the poster placards as
an efficiency garment. 1t may be made
