Too Wide Margin Between
Prices Of Pork and Hous.

The difference between the price Of
hogs and the price Of production is n
matter that is being considered serl-
ously by the farmers, says S Nj Nc
Cuistion, county agent of Usage coua-
ty, writing to Frank Gault, president
Of the State Board Of Agriculture I'm
less the producer has o good range,
which is not probable at this time,
says the county agent, no profit can
be made at the present prices of corn
and pork. The meat retalls in Usage
county at 35e to 4Oc a pound, while
the farmer gets 15c pound for his
hogs. The farmer must sell two and
one-half pounds of pork now TO pur
chase one pound of the substitute he
] asked to buy The result is he is
not doing it because he can not.

SlPULPA MILLIONAIRE OIL.
OPERATOR IS MISSING
Col II u BaNtlett, Started For
Guthrie Early Sunday Morn
ing; His Car Found
Wrecked In Ravine

Where is Col II y Bartlett, million
aire oil man of Sapulpa?
That Ia The GaestiGn that Is agltatng
officers of Guthrie and Sapulpa to-
day. Sunday morning Bartlett left
S2Gulpa In his chummy roadster bound
for Guthrie on oil lease business. He
drove the car and was alone. Early
this morning Sheriff Sherwood was
notified that a Chalmers car was in a
deep gully miles south Of Guthrie.
Investigation by the sheriff developed
tie fact that the car was the one
driven by Bartlett. 1t was complete
ly smaSed, having turned over in its
flight down an ombankment OF thirty
five feet When found the car was
on it's side Tho top had been
sashed wth a knife. Shoe prints
made in the soft mud Of the gully
where the car was found, indicate that
the occupant had escaped
The accident evidently occurred late
Sunday evening. If the occupant of
the car was Bartlett, where is he
are asking that question a
search Of the neighborhood
and diigent inquiry at farm houses
adjacent has so far failed to clear the
mystery There Is no doubt that the
wrecked car Is the one Bartlett start
e3 for Guthrie with.
Did he meet with foul play on the
] oad and was the man who escaped
frcm the car car thief?
In the meantime a search Of the
state is on for Bartlett.

DO you know what is the first
question asked a newcomer from the
states who has just entered the
trenches by the side Of soldiers who
have been away from their homes for
years?
1t is not How long do they think

What are they doing at home to
help? This is the big question in the
minds Of the fighting men. and it is
satisfactory answer to this ques-
Ion that has kept the soldiers Of the
HE'D armies standing before the
deadly gas attackers, the snipers and
the fearful rain Of huge shells.
What are they doing at home to
help?"
Are they at work in the Red Cross
headquarters, making bandages TO
stop the flow Of blood caused by
bursting shrapnel?
Are they busy at the Y NJ c A gym
fitting men to take our flaees when
we go south" or are sent to Blighty
with bum lamp, a twisted leg or
q shattered arm?
Are they busy hunting down the
men and women who attempted to
keep US from enlisting, declaring that
!. was no use, tho Germans would
kill us all, that Germany really had
a high purpose in entering this war
Are they busy at home seeking out
the lying pro-German who seeks
every opportunity to aid his father
land, even at the cost of treason and
murder in the name Of the kaiser?
Are the people at home supporting
the governments thrift stamp cam
paign which has as its main purpose
the financing of this war; the manu-
featuring Of Shells which we are /
sending into the hut Of the Hun? I
Are they buying Liberty loans as
We in the trenches have done that

support from others, who, unlike our
selves, had money to give, while all
We had was our lives?

in which to pay the note the banker
will ask.
Such conversations will take place
in every bank IN tho county during
the next month or two, because the
bankers cf the county are going to
help every boy who wants to get into
the hog raising business The bankers
realize that one of the great needs Of
the country is the raising Of more
hogs. To do this boys must be en-
couraged to get into the business
Here in Logan county boys are
going to buy pure bred gifts, each boy
to make a purchase of one pure bred
gilt, either Poland China or Duroc
sow, which is coming with pig this
spring. The hogs will probably be-
bought In Kansas and shipped here,
where they will be sold to the boy,
who are going to engage in the hog
raising business. A pure bred gilt will
cost all the way from $50 TO S65.
Maybe a hundred sows will be pur-
chased by Logan county boys. That
means that a good many young
rorkers will be ready for market next
fall
These hogs, the old ones as we'll as
the young ones, will have to be fed.
County Agent Dillenback saws that
every boy who buys hog will also
agree to plant 50 much corn to feed
the hogs, and in the early part of tie
season green pastures will be pre-
pared upon which the hogs will be fed
