That there lis nothing serious in
the reported letdown OF production
at. the Fortuna No of the Cement
pool southwest Of Chickasha. is the
belief expressed by weil informed oil
men today
This well has made as high as 270
barrels in "A hours and has been
running above 200 when on the
pump, but il is reported now that
the production has dropped to
around 100 barrels. The trouble, oil
men point out is that in the early
stages well may require three or
four good cleanings before hitting a
steady stride day to day production.
Also, all available tankage at the
Fortuna location is practically full
They now have 1000 barrels in
storage and in short time will
have no other room unless other
tanks are constructed, II is be-
lieyed that when they clean the well
out, ii will go back to its former
production OF better than go bar

been possible to get only what
might be termed short test on
this well, it has been generally con-
ceded to be 100 barrel well The
construction Of a l,O0O-barrel tank is
under way and is due to be COM
pleted soon at which time it will be
possible to get an accurate test.
The shortage Of tankage has trou-
bled the Gladstone people here.
Rumors that are persistent yet
unconfirmed state that Cosden is to
put in a loading track at the village
of Cement Though this rumor has
been circulated in the field for two
weeks no one seems to have accur-
rate information on the project.
Operators Mark Time,
Several new locations are reported
to have been made, the distance
from production ranging from one
location to four miles. However the
well informed scouts and oil men
are of the opinion that these ru-
mors come from lease spectators.
As far as has been definitely re-
ported, there are no new locations
in the Cement pool There are, how
ever, several in prospect

ARE We BACK
OF THE BOYS

Latest reports from Washington
are that there are over a million SOL
diers in France. Over a million Amer
lean boys facing the Hun!
Are we going to back them up?
Certainly we are to the absolute limit
How are we going to do it? We are
going to build up reserves of num-
tons, ships, money, trained mechan-
les, airships and food. We are going
t osee to it that not one single thing
is lacking when the face their desper-
ate task. We are not going to take
single unnecessary chance when
the lives of the boys of America are
in the balance.
It has been said that the return
ticket of our boys in France will be
secured largely throug American saw
ings of wheat, sugar, meats and fats.
The boys in the trenches are depend
ing upon the folks back home.
Mr.. Hoover believes that it is es-
sential that there be built up in this
country great reserve of food sup
plies. We have over a million men in
France now, but this is only begin
ming. When we get millions more
over there, we must see to it that be-
hind them there is a supply of food
so ample and so accessible that there
will never be chance Of it's failure.
Saving money will not guarantee a
food supply. Nature is tickle some
times and 1919 and 1920 may be lean
years. The year 1918 gives promise
Of being one of abundant harvests.
Out of this abundance we must pre-
part to pile up those SURPRISES that
will positively insure a food supply
for our boys in France and for the
allies with whom they are fighting,
even should there be unfavorable
crops in the years to come. That is
the great task to which the United
States Food Administration under
Herbert Hoover is now dedicated.
Backed by the splendid cooperation
Of the people of the United States,
the United States Food Administra-
ton has already performed miracles.
Out Of our 1917 crop we had just
twenty million bushels for export.
That was the amount of our surplus
over the normal home consumption up
to June 1913. We have now actual
ly shipped one hundred and twenty
million bushels of wheat. Where did
we get that extra one hundred million
bushels? The people of the United
States, each individual saving little,
saved this grand total since last No.
vember.
Our ordinary rate Of export Of beef
is two million pounds monthly. The
largest single month this year was
eighty-seven million pounds of ex-
ports.
Our ordinary rate of export Of pork
is fifty million pounds monthly. This
year we exported in one month
March-three hundred and eight mil
lion pounds. That is what the Amer
lean people accomplished this year

TO AID
IN HARVEST WORK

Responding to a call from farmers
for help in saving the wheat crop the
Richmond, Ind, Commercial club has
had pledge cards printed and cam
paign has been put on to secure sig
natures. All professional, business
and laboring men in the cities and
towns of the county are asked to
sign one of these cards which pledges
them to assist farmers in shocking
their wheat. Signers will pursne
their regular work each day until four
or five in the afternoon, when they
will meet at designated place and
be sent by automobile to the farms
to which they are assigned. Farm
ers will telephone to the Commercial
club each day at noon, stating the
number of men wanted and whether
they can be sent for them. If they
cannot send, automobiles owned in
the city or town will be furnished for
the purpose. Volunteers will be re-
quired to eat their evening meal be-
fore departure or take supper lunch
with them, thereby relieving the farm
ers' wives and help from cooking ex-
ira meals. Pay will be given at the
prevailing rate. By means Of 1hix
plan farmers can keep their binders
running during the day, letting the
s!eaves lie en- tire ground to .e gath
cred up BY volunteers in TIE c:e1,ing.
This, they say, will release their reg
u:ar farm hands for other VII: and
enable ttem to harvest tie full wheat
crop.
This pla2 is being considered by
the Valley City Commercial club so
figure out what time you cc,2 devote
in this Wav.

through their food administration. It
was not a difficult thing for the
American people to do. No one suffer-
ed any serious Inconvenience, but
each giving up a little, contributed
such tremendous total that we were
enabled to save our boys across the
ocean and the allied nations who were
fighting side by side with US for the
liberty of the world from disaster and
probably from an overwhelming de-
feat.
The United States Food Admin
istration is now asking US to save
beef and eat more pork in its stead.
A short time ago they asked US to
save pork and eat beef. Why do they
these changes in their request? Sim
ply because they can not change or
regulate the supplies of these various
products as they are made readily to
come into the markets. They must
take conditions as they find them and
they appealed to the intelligence Of
the American people to grasp the Sit
uation when it is explained to them
and to conform promptly and cheer
fully to each change or modification
in the ruling.
The Food Administration asks that
we save sugar; that we use little
flour as possible until the new harvset,
that we use perishable vegetables,
fruits, etc., in place of the Commo-
dities that will keep we'll and that we
do not waste any food products that
can possibly be saved.
The Food Administration looks to
the future with the utmost confidence
knowing that America will not fail
our boys "over there"

The grim and deadly earnestness of
the United States government in its
war activities, and its determination
to stamp out kaiserism never has
been so clearly evidenced as in the
great official war picture, "Pershing's

early showing. Our boys in khaki are

faces. You see Secretary Baker, with
General Pershing, inspecting our
preparations in France. You see the
first German prisoners captured by
our brave boys-two dozen disheart-
ened, disheveled, half-starved boches,
too dispirited even to scowl at the
camera. The last half of the picture
is devoted entirely to what our boys
are accomplishing over there.

ARMENIANS ARE BEING

'The offensive of the Turkish troops
and detachments on the Caucasian n
front has been followed by the murder
of the whole Armenian population. The
peaceful population of women and
children have been killed without

plundered and burned.
THE peace treaty, which we werc
forced to sign at Brest Gtovski, left
the determination of the future destiny
of the people of the provinces of Ard4-
han, Kars and Batum to themselves.
CON the Turkish front the advantage
in the war was on the side Of Russia,
and Russia was forced to give up Ar

German was the ally Of Turkey. The
responsibility for all the horrors which
the Armenian population now is suffer.
