100 PAPERS QUIT IN IOWA

In the state of Iowa a hundred or
more weekly and trade papers have
ceased to exist during the past year.
They have been the prey of the exist
ing high prices of materials and help
and have quietly passed away for
want of sufficient field and too little
revenue
The state is today $50 TO. 200
printers short of enough To carry on
the work of the newspapers and
printing industries And with the
next draft of men for the army the
only thing left for many more papers
is TO suspend publication and lock
the doors.
The revolution in The industrial
world is striking everywhere and ey-
cry line, but the printing trades have
suffered more than any other one
branch of industry by the army draft.
The only result thai can be possible
is survival of the fittest." and the
boneyard take the hindmost The
only way many papers will survive
VIII be that they are necessities in
their fields and that their fields will
support them The only way their
fields can support them will be thru
increased rates for subscription and
advertising. Two oT three cents per
inch for advertising space will often
be enough TO make up the difference,
and the average newspaper does not
expect to make money during these
war times lit seeks only that means
to live through the ordeal and be
ready 10 serve the community when
peace comes and brings normal times

available. are likely TO be reflected
in the future scale Of prices.
However, there is no meat surplus
in sight anywhere, not even during
the next half decade. Only in the
case of hogs is a bare sufficiency
likely.
The bare shelves of European lard
ers must at least be replenished and
this task will naturally devolve on
the United States.
The mission of the International
Live Stock Exposition at this crisis
is to stimulate production of beef.
pork and mutton on the most eco
nomical basis, to instruct breeders
and feeders in recent development to
inspire ambition to EXCEL and dem.

COMPLAINT AS TO
BILLS FOR WATER

There is much complaint heard
regarding the water bills rendered
by the city for the past month. The
complaint is not confined to one
or two consumers. whose meters
might have gone wrong, but there
are many of them.
{. NJ. Grant, court clerk, said he
was charged with having used more
water last month than in any month
since he has lived in Ardmore. This
too. he said, when they have been
trying to conserve water in the bath
and in every service about the
house. He said his garden and his
flowers died for lack of water. We!
his bill Is larger than ever before.
Mr.. Grant quoted another house
holder as saying that heretofore he
had watered four horses and three

last month these had all been taken

ton, The field has barely been tap
ped, yet the production has jumped
from 1000 barrels July to 10000
Aug. !.
A prominent oil man, identified
with one OF the largest companies
operating here, made the statement
the other day that Rangers pro-
duction would run far ahead Cf
100000 barrels daily when the field
had been better rrospected, The
known pools at present, he said, are
big enough TO assure that quantity
of production. With so many fields
being opened by the wildcatter there
yet remains much to be said for the
future.
The Prairie Oil Company is con-
tinually constructing large storage
tanks alongside the Texas & Pacific
railroad line northeast of Ranger.
From the car window can be seen
miles OF these huge affairs, most OF
them filled TO capacity with the
volatile fluid. Ten OF these tanks
are OF $1,000 barrel capacity, while
three OF them contain $4,000 barrels.
In addition to this the company is
constructing four Others OF the
larger size on one farm. Recently
the Prairie people purchased the
Huffman farm of 100 acres where
they will construct q tanks.
Sl,S00,000 In Tanks.
To the southwest of Ranger is the
McCleskey tank farm OF nine tanks
all filled with oil. These tanks al
ready constructed with those about
to be built represent an outlay Of
nearly Sl,500,O00. A $1,000 barrel
tank constructed with new material
costs today approximately S55,O0O.
Five years ago the same tank could
be built for $4,000
