Mr. Maxey then produced creden-

He has been on that job for one

among the orders relative TO the

Col. Harvey, Chief Ozark Trailer, Warns
Grady County Readers to Get
Busy or Lose Traffic
GETS
MANY NEW MEMBERS
Chickasha Officially On Route; Speakers
Urge Cement Road; Money
Ready Begin Work

"The train is coming Get busy
and place your roads in good condi-
ton or the traffic will be detoured
some other way" was the message
that Colonel w. H. (Coin) Harvey
brought to the good road boosters of
Chickasha and Grady county last
night at a dinner that was given in
honor of the good road king at the
Early hotel In his talk Colonel Har-
vey showed that Chickasha was on
the Ozark Trail no matter what was
done with the Central and Southern
routes between here and Chandler
where the Southern route branches
off from the Central route.
He spoke Of Chickasha and Grady
county as being the central point for
good roads and that by putting the
r.iiiiary highway through this way,
this city would be a double benefit
ciary. Not only did Colonel Harvey
urge haste in completing the roads
through this county but it was the
sentiment of those gathered at the
meeting that something must be
done soon il this city expected to
reap the benefits that are certain to
result if the proper preparations are
made.
Mr.. Burton, chairman of the Grady
County Highway association first
called upon Commissioner Temple to
tell what had been done and what
the commissioners expected to do in
the near future.
Mr. Temple said that they had
crews ready to go to work just be-
fore the cold weather set in and in
terfered with their plans to such an
extent that they had not been able
10 do anything and would not be
able to do anything until after the
ground had thawed out and then
they had 100000 that would be used
on the Ozark Trails and the Cement
road in this county. He said that so
far they had been unable to get any
rock into this county and that they
had received no announcement from
the dealers as they said they are un-
able to get any cars to haul the ma
terial into the county.
Commissioner Thompson said that
it was one of his campaign promises
that he would fix the road between
here and Rush Springs il he were
elected. He said that he now had
like $4,000 to begin work
on this road and that he had about
$1,000 to put on the road between
Ninnekah and Alex and that If this
work was not accomplished this year
it would be next year.

STATE IS
SHUT DOWN
Cold Weather Puts Grady County Test
Out Of Busir, IS; Down 500 Feet;
indications Good

One of the tests being made in
Grady county for oil or gas that is
simply marking time, owing to tho
cold weather, but which appears to
have chance of striking something
is the well of the Treasure State Oil
company in l3-6n-5w on the Tom Err
win farm.
This well is now down 1900 feet at
which point the drill has been stand
ing Idle since Jan. 10 when the cold
wave put the kibosh on everything.
For the time they have been drilling
they have made splendid time They
spudded in on Nov. IS.
The well is being drilled by the
firm of Corrigan and Clark Mr..
Corrigan was in Chickasha yesterday
and in speaking about the Treasure
State said:
Everything is looking mighty good.
At a depth OF 7lo feet we struck a
dandy showing Of oil with considera-
BILE gas pressure. In addition to this.
we have struck two or three stray
sands. We are now entirely out of
the red beds and for the last 100
feet. we drilled through blue shale,
and we're in that formation when we
were forced to stop drilling on ac-
count of the bad weather. l consid-
er this blue shale as a splendid indi-
cation. Our contract calls for
DEPTH of $500 feet and believe that
if the weather ever clears up and
gives us a chance, we will complete
the well in 20 or 30 days We are
doing our drilling with a rotary and
so far have experienced very little,
if any, trouble.
There's only one thing to it, Gra-
dy county is going to produce an oil
field. Someone is going to hit it and
would not be at all surprised if it
were the Treasure State. l have new
er drilled in a wild cat field that
looked better. Surface indications
are fine and we have been running
into some dandy looking stuff"

''VICTORY'
BREAD is
LAST CALL
Brooks Explains New Bakers Rules;
Farmers Asked 10 Sell 1917 Wheat;
Basic Price $2.20

A letter has been received by G.
M. Hollingsworth, county food ad-
ministrator, from Paul Cotterell, sec
retary OF the executive committee
of the state food administration,
which says that the state food ad-
ministration has received word from
Food Administrator Hoover urging
that all of the farmers who have
wheat for sale place it on the mar
ket 80 that it will be on hand when
transportation facilities become avail
able. The letter states that the basic
price for wheat at Chicago Is $229
and that this will be maintained for
all of the 1917 crops 1t also states
that under no circumstances will
wheat be as high in 1918 as it has
been in the past year and so the far
mer will have no chance of securing
higher price for his wheat,
A telegram was also received from
State Food Administrator Brooks eX-
planning the order for the use Of sub
stitutes for flour which is as fol-
lows;
"The state food administration has
issued the following explanation of
the new bakers rules and their rela-
tion to wheatIess days for bakers.
All licensed bakers are required to
use substitutes for wheat flour. In
all breads the percentage of substi-
tutes after Feb. a, being not less
than twenty per cent. This bread
will be known as Victory Bread and
may be baked every day in the week.
For hotels, restaurants and boarding
houses and individuals using bakers
bread exclusively, they may use the
Victory Bread for breakfast and
dinner every day in the week Sup
per should be a wheatless meal each
day No bread or other food contain
ing wheat should be used except for
dinner and breakfast. 1t is recon-
mended, however, that hotels, res
taurants and boarding houses, for
breakfast and dinner on Monday and
Wednesday of each week use breads
containing no wheat flour. For
householders making their own
bread, they should observe supper
each day as a wheatless meal and
Monday and Wednesday as wheatless
days, limiting the use of wheat on
these days to that used in gravies
and for dinner in corn bread and
other foods"
