PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

A young Burnley weaver, accord ing to an English paper, was taking her little baby to church to be Chris tened.
 Its father had been in the trenches for three months, and it was impos- sible for him to get home for the ceremony.
 The baby smiled up into the min ister's face.
 Well. madam" said the minister, "I must congratulate you on your llt- tie ones behavior. I have christened many babies, but l never christened one that behaved so we'll as yours :"
 The young mother smiled demureiy and said:
 His grandad and me have been practicin' vii him fer a week WI bucket of ater."-Current Opinion.

OIL MARKET QUOTATIONS
Important Conference
Yesterday.

There was an important confer
ence held yesterday wherein the va
rious phases of the situation as re-
CARDS the premiums on oil was gone
into and the result for the first time
appears to have been satisfactory
and on a basis that points to a fair
deal for the Independent refiner and
for the pipe lines as well.
The details are not given out but
the writer has it on the best author
fly that the result will he far reach
ing and will bring joy to tn hearts
of the Independent refiners In the
mid continent field. 1t Is to these
brave men, who by their fidelity to
principal and right. have built up a
tremendous business in the mid
continent field that this news will
bring cheer and happiness and will
inspire them all with renewed cour-
age to mot only refine and market
such oil as may be available but to
reach out and especially downward,
TO drill for oil so that in the long
run they may not be dependent on
anybody for 4 supply.
II is the only system that insures
success in the refining business and
the list that has already made plans
for drilling is a long one. 1t will be
credit to the refining end of the
good business as II will demonstrate
to the world that there is no more
patriotic bunch than the independent
refiner in this, or any other country.
IL is, OF course, a source of re-
gret that the exact agreement en-

field is the humble test In li-2s-low
which is drilling at 2,645 feet. There
is general discussion at the pres
ent time about the prospects for a
deeper pay in the Duncan field than
that found by the Magnolia at 206O
feet and data for discussion---there
Is none.
There are many things TO be
taken into consideration. First II
seems logical that the sands at
Healdton could be compared with
the sands at Duncan because both
fields lie south OF the granite foll
which runs from the Arbuck,c
mountains at Davis, west to the
Wichita mountains northwest OF
Lawton. This seems logical but
still, at the present time, it seems
very much impossible.
Second, Duncan should have a
deeper pay because several sands
have been found above the 2,05Of foot
depth and consequently, there
should be sands below.
But still. the one thing that will
bring to light the whole situation
will be deeper drilling and 1t .ls
strange but nevertheless fact that
the deepest test yet drilled In that
entire country from township Is t0
As and from range CIV to l3w, is the
we'll In the northeast corner of 36-
2s-7w, southeast of Comanche which
was drilled to a total depth Of g.
$50 feet.
The Humble well will probably
go below this depth and is therefore
'an important test for that locality.

Many Expressions
of Loyalty.

During the last two or three days
when it looked as though the inde-
pendent refiner was up against the
real thing, 1t is most remarkable
fact that there came unsolicited the
strongest pledges of support from
producers OF Oil that have ever been
given since the days when the first
Independent pipe line was built and
which is by far the most romantic
incident in the history OF the oil
game. This refers to the Pure OIL
company line which costs so much
OF the hard earned OF the early soil
producers and which was built In
spite OF the greatest obstacles ever
overcome by, any enterprise any
where.
1t survived the treachery Of old
friends and associates and was final
ly built and still stands as monu-
ment to the memory OF those VINO
participated in its construction. III
would be just as pertinent TO-DAY
and just as inspiring to fear Sena-
tor Lockwood, were he alive, discuss
its history and tell the story or It's
many vissicitudes.
Only recently during the stormy
days when there was too much pro-
duction at Cushing there were many
who developed heroic qualities and
who will always be looked upon as
men of unbounded courage and In
tegrity. Take for instance the con-
tract entered into by Il. b. Jones
with Thwing & Evans, which called
for thousands OF barrels at the then
market price and then when thu oil
was commanding three times Its
original price, II Is related that
Messrs. Thwing e. Evans went to Mr..
Jones and offered him more money.
His reply was, mo. sir, l made the
deal with you and no matter how
much II costs me | would not accept
one cent more than the contract
calls for"
II is fine to see how Mr.. Jones is
prospC ring these days and how he is
givin, away to patriotic purposes his
income above his common everyday
necessities, and how. much honor he
has among his fellowmen Just be-
cause he believed in simple right
and Justice and because he had the
courage of his convictions.
The independent refiner must live
and lead the way.
There is a chance today snd to-
morrow and every day in the oil
game to do heroic thing and only
within a week or two has this same
sor ., of thing been done, but II will
take at least days TO bring the story
to the readers of this paper so mod
est are the parties concerned.

Production Increasing.

Production returns for the month
of June show that the great actlyi-
tx which has prevailed in all tho of
fields is bringing results. More wells
were completed in June, 1917, than
In any previous month OF which "A
record has been kept and the total
new production is the highest for
several years. 1t is evident that ev-
cry field has done it's best and the
result has been a substantial Contri-
button to the grand total. Even the
Appalachian fields have held thsir
own but the bulk OF this new produc-
ton Is from the mid-contlnent and
Texas fields. The increased produc-
tion in Kentucky and Wyoming is
insufficient to account for such a
rapid Increase and our reports from
Louisiana have only been favorable
from the Pine Island district which
has declined this month from the
high records made In May Compile
tons in the central Texas fields show
that real oil field is being devel-
oped and 1t is showing some of the
qualities of such field including the
number OF different sands with vary
ing results from the same sand in
different localities and a number of
dry spots. In the California fields
1t seems special attention is being
given to the cleaning out and i'm
proving of old wells, and with some
times very satisfactory results. The
same is also being done in all fields
to an extent, and in some cases
deeper drilling has uncovered new
bodies OF oil. IL the increased pro-
duction keeps on at this rate it may
equal the refining capacity of the
country. Reports from Mexico and
from Venezuela are also very favor
able. In Mexico some big gushers
are reported and it Is evident that
the government must have given
some intimation to the oil men that
transportation would be furnished
and protection given. for there has
been a good deal of activity in drill
ing and making preparations to snip
crude. Some new companies have !
begun to ship and this oil is going
to the manufacturing industries
along the Atlantic coast where It is
most needed With nearly 90 tank |
ships well under way and construc- |
ton begun on cocrete tankers and |
barges 1t is to be hoped that we shall |
within a reasonable time be able to .
avail ourselves of this production so |
near at hand. In Venezuela It is |
said that the Caribbean Oil company, |
working in connection with the |,
Royal Dutch Shell company, has un-
covered an oil field of very great |
possibilities with an established pro-
duction to date of $4,000 barrels a ,
day. which will be made available |
by the furnishing of barges suitable
for traversing the shallow waters of
the Lake Maracaibo region. Should |
these means of transportation be
sufficiently developed by next fall
we need have no fear OF any fuel
shortage or any shutdown Of indus
trial activities.

Prairie Gets Well in Texas.

east corner of the Ida Slayden farm,
one and one-half miles northwest Of

company on the McCleskey farm.
At three feet in the sand the Prairie
well is flowing $50 barrels, The
gas was found in the top Of the lime
the same as in the other big wells
which makes it look good for deeper
drilling.
The well is the first since the
Prairie made the deal with the
Texas G. PScific Coal company and
makes the territory on the high

Hot Weather Hits us
Hardest in Stomach

EATONIC is the wonderful new
compound that absorbs the harm
full gases and juices and almost
instantly drives away stomach
misery.
Instead of sudden and painful
attacks of indigestion, after YOU
begin using EATONIC you'll for
get you have stomach. And there
will be no more heartburn, food
repeating, sour stomach, gas pains,
or that lumpy, bloated feeling you havs
SO often experienced after eating. Then
your appetite-you know how hard it
is to satisfy in hot weather-eat one or
two EATONIC Tablets half hour be-
fore meals-and you will enjoy the re-
suits and feel better in every way.
These are a few reasons why YOU
should start using EATONIC today and
fortify your stomach against the chance
trouble this summer. 1t costs only SOC
fora big package. Your druggist whom
you know and can trust, will promptly
refund your money if you are NOS
more than satisfied.

easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. 1t is 50
easy to become overheated on a
blazing hot day, especially after
eating hearty meal. And then
the excessive heat makes us flood
our stomachs with all kinds of
cold drinks. That's bad at any
time; much worse-even danger
ous-when there is the slightest
feeling of stomach trouble.
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid
that's about all that is neces-
sary. It's not so much the diet
as to keep the poison from start
ing trouble. You can easily do
this if you will just take tablet or
