SO-CALLED RETURNS GIVE
MORE THAN FOR MUIR
RAY AND ALEXANDER

Oklahoman: Final official tab
ulation of the vote in the recent
primary election is still held up on
account of the delay in receiving of
fetal returns from Tulsa and Okla
homa counties, where a recount has
been in progress, and from King
fisher county. These returns, how
ever, are expected to be in today or
tomorrow.
Official tabulation of the returns
from the seventy-four counties that
are now in and scmi-ofiicial returns
from the other three, making COM
plete returns from the state, show
that Robertson won over Murray
by better than 2 to !, which was the
prediction prediction of his cam
paign managers.
These returns. official from seven
ty-four and semi-ofiicial from three
counties, give Robertson 48,568
Murray 24,2S3, and Alexander H.
go.
Whitehurst's plurality over Viii
son for president of the state board
of agriculture will be approximately
800, while Matthews plurality over
Mrs. Bassett for commissioner OF
charities and corrections will go
above 1000.

THE BARRIER"

The Barrier" the seven-reel pho
to-drama Of Rex Beach's famous
novel by the same name, comes to
the Palace Theatre, commencing
Sunday, August l8. This picture has
been heralded as one Of the greatest
dramas that has ever been on the
screen. At the Broadway Theatre,
New York, it scored a tremendous
hit and has since broken attendance
records everywhere it has been
shown.
1t will be recalled that the story
is of the love of Necia, white girl,
who thinks she is half-breed, for
Lieut.. Meade Burrell, blue-blood-
ed southerner from Kentucky. The
Indian blood is the barrier between
them, and the strong situations that
lead up to Burrels' decision to mar
ry her in spite OF everything provide
tremendous dramatic material.
'Poleon Doret is French Cana
dian prospector who has been Ne
cia's idol from childhood. He loves
her deeply, but gives her up to Bur
rel with a smile. Of his part of
the plot the Moving Picture World"
has said: Here we have strong con-
trasts in character, but above ev-
erything is the greatest Of these
renunciation."
Mabel Juliene Scott plays the
leading parb doing "Marridy' in
the prologue, and "Necia." Russell
Simpson as John Gaylord, who
"ant much to look at plays the
simple, straightforward old man.
Other members of the cast are Vic
tor Sutherland, who does Burrell;
Howard Hall as Bennett and Ed.
Roseman as Runnion, share the
heavy honors. A special score COM
posed of Fred O. Hanks and Sol
Levy will accompany "The Barrier"
which is being presented throughout
the country under the control of
Lewis J. Selznick.

STOCK AGENTS TO
SHOW AUTHORITY
Oil and Mine Promoters Must Get
Permission to Do Business.

Oklahoma City, Aug. l6.-"Has
your company the permission OF the
Capital Issues Committee to sell
this stock" should be on the lips
of every man and woman in the
State Of Oklahoma who is ap-
preached by oil. mining or other
stock agants. If they say yes"
then make them produce it. This
was the warning sent out by the
Oklahoma State Council OF Defense
a fortnight ago, and on receipt this
week of similar caution from Asa
+. Ramsey, chairman of the district
committee OF the Capital Issues
Committee At Kansas City, letters
were addressed to all county coun-
ellis asking them 10 give the matter
wide publicity.
Chairman Ramsey says: ANY
company that is on the square and
above board need have no fear OF
having its affairs passed on by the
Capital Issues Committee"
Advice from Mr.. kamsey also
state that the district committee has
jurisdiction over all issues from
$4,000 to 100000. while the Cap
ital Issues Committee at Washing
ton has jurisdiction over all issues
over 10000 but applications in all
cases should be made through the
district committee.

Okla-Fox Will Make Good Well

The Okla-Fox No. Z, section Il
2s2w. drilled two screws more INTO
the sand yesterday, making about
II feet in the sand all told, and IS
now stopping over the casing, and Is
estimated good for 100 barrels or
better where it stands. The drlller,
Earl Athey believes the sand IS loo
feet or more thick and that the
richest sand lies below the present
depth. He bases this opinion on the
fact that the sand in No. | is consid-
erablv more than 100 feet thick. Ex-
perienced oil men who have visited
the new well agree with Mr.. Athey
that the sand seems TO be improving
as the drill bit goes deeper.
Whether or not deeper drilling IS
done and better pay found, the well
is a good one and interest IN that
part OF the field has been stimulated
to the extent that buyers are seek
ing acreage as close to the well as
they can get. The trend is expected
TO run in northeasterly direction.
The oil in the No. 2 Okla-fo
well is a black oil, much like that
of the Wildcat lin and Oklatox No.
!, except that il has a little more
life in it, owing to the presence OF
n small amount OF gas.

United States and Great Britain
Ioin in Protest to Mexico

Washington. Aug. l6-The Unit
ed States and Great Britain have
joined in a diplomatic protest to the
Mexican government against the oil
land DEGREES of President Carranza,
which, it is contended, amount prac-
tically to conhscation.
Meanwhile the American and
English oil companies have united
in an agreement to refuse to meet
the terms OF the DEGREES, which they
contend would take the properties
from them, and have agreed among
themselves to depend upon their
governments for protection OF their
interests.
These two developments mark the
progress OF a situation in Mexico,
which is generally regarded as grow
ing in its possibilities of embarrass-
ment for the nations engaged in the
war against Germany.
Representatives OF the American
oil companies in support of their
contention that MeNico's action is
OF advantage TO Germany, quote
Manager Ballin. OF the Hamburg
American line. who recently statNi
publicly that after the war is over,
we are assured OF extensive oil pos
sessions overseas"
The allies need this year 10000
000 barrels of crude oil for which
they depend entirely upon the Unit
ed States. The United States can
produce not over 3l5.0O0000 bar
rels. The Mexican fields can supply
100000 barrels. All the oil in
Mexico is owned by American and
British companies. Under the new
est decree. Mexico attempts 10 make
oil the property OF the nation. Mex
ican petroleum then would become
a nationally owned coniraband and
as such might not be sold by a neu-
trail country TO a belligerent under
international law. To endow petrol
cum with that character and prevent
shipment Of it TO the allies. is said
TO be the purpose of German propa-
Uganda in Mexico.

SANTA r COMES TO
RESCUE OF ARDM0RE
VOLUNTARILY TENDERS ITS
AID TO PULL CITY
THROUGH CRISIS.

The steadfast and practical friend
shin of the Santa Fe railroad Tor
Ardmore is again exemplified in a
letter received yesterday by Edward
Gait, president of the Chamber OF
Commerce, from F.. Z. Taylor, sup
erintendent, in which the latter VOL
unfairly tenders the aid of his COM
pany to pull Ardmore through its
present water Crisis.
The letter in full is as follows:
my dear Mr.. Gault:
"On my last visit to Ardmore
Iuly 30th, the water situation Tor
city consumption, / understood, was
becoming somewhat acute, and you
will recall that | requested that you
call on me if our company could
be of any service to the city.
81 have heard nothing further OF
the shortage of water and | am in
hopes that your wells and pipeline
are providing all the water needed
for the city's consumption; but II
not. please have no hesitancy in call
inc on us if we can be OF any serv-
ice."
Frank s. Gates, president of the
Ardmore Rotary Club, has also tax
Ell the matter up with Mr.. Taylor
of securing a supply OF drinking wa
ter from the Santa Fe deep well at
Marietta and it is understood that
the railroad will arrange to haul the
water here in tank cars it needed.

AMERICA MUST STORE.
FOOD FOR LEAN YEARS
PRODUCTION PRO B A B I L Y
DECLINE AFTER THIS YEAR
PROBLEM ABROAD
"To All Food Administration Work

"To All Food Administration Work
erS:
1--WE can not administer the food
problem on the basis Of one year
war. We must prepare tor its long
continuance if we are to insure aD-
solute victory" declare the food
controllers of the United States,
France, Italy and Great Britain IN a
Joint resolution adopted at CON
ference in London. The resolution,
emphasizes the necessity OF building
I'D reserves in North America as an
insurance against possible crop tat
ure here and elsewhere and the di-
minution of agricultural labor. The
cable follows:
Resolved, that while the in
creased production of the United
States renders it possible to relax
some of the restrictions which have
borne with peculiar hardship upon
all our peoples, yet it is absolutely
necessary that rigid economy and
elimination Of waste in production,
should be maintained throughout
the European allied countries ard
in North America.
1t is only by such economy and
elimination of waste that the trans
portation of the necessary men and
supplies from North America to the
European front can be accomplished
and that stocks of foodstufls can
be built up in North America as an
insurance against the ever-present
danger of harvest failure and the
possible necessity for large and
emergency drafts to Europe. We
cannot administer the food problem
on the basis of one years war. We
must prepare for its long continu-
ance if we are to insure absolute vic
tory"
Before the war, only about l0 per
cent of the food deficit in the allied
countries was provided by America.
Approximately 50 percent of the al
lied deficit was filled last year by
the United States and Canada. And
from the 1918 crop we will very
probably be called upon to supply
much larger proportion OF this
ever-increasing European deficit.
About 100000 tons of shipping
could be saved if we made it posi-
BILE to withdraw ships now taking
10 Europe food from Australia,
India and South America. Were this
done, it would be possible to trans
port and maintain in France much
larger army of American soldiers.
Many of the difficulties of convoy
could be overcome if the bulk OF
shipping Piled the single lane be-
tween Europe and North America.
Interpreted in terms of men on the
fighting front, every ship diverted
from Australia could perform an
equivalent service from American
ports, and in the time it had taken
for one round trip from Europe to
Australia could make two additional
trips from Europe to the United
States. In other words, it could fur
nish Europe with the same amount
of food and in the same length OF
time could make one trip as troop
ship and another to transport addi-
tional food.
With men leaving our farms in
ever-increasing numbers to engage
in direct war work, we probably see
this year the height OF our agricul-
tural production. To protect our
selves and the allies against the in
evitable shortages of the future We
must take advantage of this years
production to lay by reserves.
