First that it is much and quicker for her ring the

Second that people these days and about

OIL IN OKLAHOMA.
The Usage Nation Region Offers Best AID
vantages.

| Among the prospective oil and gas re.
gions of the United States there are few
! in which the probability of finding petro
| leum in antielines and domes is so good
as in the Usage nation, in northern Okla
homa. Although in this region, as in
other oil fields, oil sands may be absent
from anticlines and domes. or the buried
beds may not lie parallel to those which
are exposed. or the oil or gas may not
be found in all parts of the folds, which
according to surface criteria NAV be
theoretically favorable for drilling. most
of the oil and gas in the Usage nation is
found in such antb-lines and domes. 1t
is therefore now very fortunate both
that the greater part of the Usage ma
ton, which forms a large county in
northern Oklahoma, has not yet been
drained of its oil and that numerous an.
tcines have been found there by the
geologists Several folds that may con
tain oil or gas have been found by X.
c. Head, of the United States geologi-
cal survey, department of the interior,
in the northwest corner of the Paw
huska quadrangle, in townships recent
" mapped and described by the geoiogi
cal survey. In a part of this area, how
ever, the prospect of finding oil and gas
is not regarded by Mr.. Head as. in
general, quite so good as in regions far
Their south and east, because the produc-
tive sands OF the Cherokee formation
are probably absent. Nevertheless, both
the sands above the Cherokee and the
lower sands which are associated with
the mississippi lime" and which yield
oil at several other places in northern |
Oklahoma offer encouragement for drill |
ing, even where the Cherokee formation |
may be absent.

part of the Pawhuska quadrangle is de- !
scribed in bulletin 69l-C. which may be |

PRESIDENT SPEAKS
FROM BOX nv THEATRE
First Time Within Memory of Washing
tonians that a President Has
Done This.

Washington. March 6.-Oliicial Wash
ington was talking to-day about lit
the speech President Wilson made Monday
night from his box at the theatre. 1t
was the first time within memory OF
anyone here that a president had done
such a thing.
With large audience, the president
had enjoyed play depicting the con
version of a disloyal German.American
into a loyal citizen. When one of the
leading actors in response to repeated
curtain calls exhausted his curtain and
the audience demanded more, he sugges-
ted that the president might say some
thing. Rising in his box as a wave of
applause and cheering swept the thea
ire, the President thanked the actors for
their admirable performance, and told
how much he had enjoyed the theme of
the play.

A REAL PEACE.
By William Almon Wolff of The Vigi
lantes.

Everyone wants peace. But it must
| be real peace. The last hope of a
beaten Germany is to get peace that
will not be real one. Clear, straight
thinking in America this spring viii help
to make that impossible, That, after
all, is the vital need to this hour. 1t
isn't straight thinking that led some
people to see, in Won Hertling's reply to
President Wilson's last speech, an agree
ment in the matter of Belgium. The
German chancellor said, in effect, that
Germany had never meant to keep Bel
GUM, and that the whole matter of Bel
GUM was one to be brought up in the
peace conference.
Never The only question that can
even conceivably come up concerning Bel
GUM in the peace conference is that of
the exact method by which Germany is
to make what little reparation money
can make for the crime of rape. There
can't be q peace conference, even, until
Germany has agreed, convincingly, to
evacuate Belgium and repair the wrong
she has done there. And that applies as
much to northern France and to Servia
as TO Belgium.

MAY USE WOMEN
FOR FARM LABOR

Washington, Jan. 3G-Natichal
registration of women available for
work on farms is planned by the de-
partment of labor as one of the ad-
vance steps in a campaign to secure
sufficiency of farm labor for every
section of the country during the COM
ing season.
A. L. Berkman, chief of the divis-
ion of farm service, announced tonight
every effort would be made to meet
the expected shortage of farm labor
by a plan to mobilize the available
men and women in every community
in the country. Heavy SHOWS in the
middle west, he said, should mean a
large wheat crop and, if the favora-
bic weather continued, one of the
biggest yields on record may be ex-
pected.
A special farm service man will be
stationed in the most Of the ninety
/ four federal employment agencies Of
the country, Mr.. Berkman said, and,
in addition, postoffices in the small
| farming communities will be used as
recruiting stations.
"The most serious farm labor short
age last year was in the east" said
Mr. Berkman. "The industries there
/ filing war orders took men who other
wise would have been available for
farm work by the offer of attractive
wages, The farmer will have to in
crease W ages much more than they
have to get men to come from the
cities. They have not raised wages
anywhere in proportion to their in
crease in profits"
"Wmen,' Mr. Berkman continued,
twill be needed for truck gathering,
dairying and other light forms of
labor, but they will not be called upon
for the heavy work as long as men are
available"
"The college girls and women of
of the leisure classes who are ready to
respond to a call for workers as a
matter Of patriotic service" Mr..
Berkman continued, must be de-
pended upon chiefly for the woman la
Dor that will be needed"
