DON 4. COCHRAN.


General Manager Oklahoma Oil
and Auto Supply Co.
Ii there is one man more than
another who has won success in
southern Oklahoma through ma
tive ability, confidence in himself
and the possession of a faculty of
iustilling confidence in the minds
of others, it is Don Cochran. who
as general manager of the Okla
home Oil and Auto Supply Com
pany, has made phenomenal sue
cess Of that business.
Speaking at meeting OF the
Ardmore Rotary Club a few weeks
ago on the development of his
business and OF the automobile
and supply business in particular,
Mr. Cochran told a story in few
words which should prove an in
spiration to everyone.
The headquarters OF the corpo-
ration and the principal store were
moved to Ardmore in January,
1917, the first month showing
total business OF 81 800 When the
books for the year were closed on
December 81 the total business in
the y months footed up to over
third Of a million dollars and
handsome dividend was paid to
the stockholders.
He brought out the fact that
in Ardmore alone more than one
million dollars is now invested in
automobiles and that the supplies
and accessories therefor during
year amount to approximately the
same amount. When it is under
'tood that Ardmore is the center

Full Blood Indian
Priest

The first full-blood Indian to be
ordained to priesthood in the Ro-
man Catholic church is now d
citizen OF Ardmore, attached to
st. Agnes Academy.
Albert NegahnQuet, full-blood
Pottawatomie Indian, was born at
st. Marys, Kan near Topeka. He
received his early education at Sa-
cred Heart College, Sacred Heart,
Pottawatomie County, Okla. In
the year 1900 he went to Rome,
Italy for the completion Of his
studies for the priesthood, and in
1904 was ordained by Cardinal
Rospighi in St. Johns Lateran
Church, Rome, Italy. Returning
to Oklahoma in the same year, he
was located at Muskogee and had

used in the same manner; the hulls
net the factory about 5000 per
month.
Six automatic pecan crackers in
this factory have produced about
IS carloads OF shelled pecans so far
this season. Some idea OF the value
of this product may be arrived at
by estimating the number of bar
rels to a carload and multiplying
that number by 100, the average
price of barrel of shelled pecans
being about $l00.
The management of the Purity
Pecan Plantation Company plans
to rebuild the factory and in
crease the capacity before the be-
ginning OF another season.
Officers and directors of the
company are William +. Warren,
president; +. S. Stahl, yice-presi-
dent and general manager; X. A.
Fox, secretary-treasurer; Edward
Gait and c. F. Adams, directors.

charge of a number of missions
throughout northeastern Indian
Territory.
The fact that Father Negahn-
quet speaks several Indian dia-
lects has fitted him excellently for
school work among the missions
of his church, and has brought
him into prominence among the
Indians, not only of Oklahoma,
but throughout the West. He has
taken prominent part in the affairs
of the Indians of Montana, the
Dakotas, Minnesota and Okla
homa.

MIR. Wilmoth has consented to make
public his experience with Dreco for
the benefit OF other people in this sec
ton who may be suffering fortunes,
such as he did, and who may think
their case Is beyond relief, Here IS
his statement:
Il had kidney trouble of the worst
kind. I suffered constantly with
pains In the back and limbs, consti-
patton, headaches and stomach
trouble
II tried almost everything but just
two bottles of Dreco helped me more
than anything | ever took.
''At one time L could hardly
straighten my back. | was weak and
all doubled up with pain. But now
my back feels as strong as an OK ana
my troubles are all gone. l want TO
recommend this wonderful medicine,
Dreco to all my friends because it
certainly did for me what nothing
else ever accomplished"
Sick kidneys are mighty danger
Gus thing. 1t is not like having
sore finger you can't let it "cure
itself''. Unless good natural treat
ment is provided at once the twisting
pains become almost unbearable and
the victim soon wishes he had taken
the proper treatment In time.
Dreco, the medicine which wins
such high praise from Mr.. Wilmoth IN
the above interview, is acclaimed by
hundreds of men and women right
here In this section as the one natura
medicine to bring them relief after
almost everything else had failed.
Dreco is purely an herbal medicine.
It is inexpensive, easy to take and is
now dispensed by almost all modern
drug stores. 1t is particularly
recommended in Woodstock, Va. by
