See What Can Be Saved

Even before the war it was necessary for Western
and Northern Jobbers and distributing houses to route
their shipments from the manufacturing East by way
of Norfolk Va. They may have preferred shipping
through New York. but the congestion of foreign goods
forbade that.
1t is fact that Shoes dry goods clothing and other
merchandise manufactured in Massachusetts, shipped
by boat Norfolk; then by railroad to Chicago Cncln-
natl St Louis and then reshpped by rail perhaps
thousand miles back to consumers in the Vrgnias Ken
tucky, Tennessee, the Carolinas Georgia Alabama,
Mississippi and Florida.
Why should merchandise for your family and your
home be shipped toward you then away from YOU and
then back to you by non essential mddlemen at faraway
artificial jobbng centers?

Oil Company Will
 Build Model City

A model city, where all employees will live. work and play, is to be built by Marland Refining company ano Key County Gas company on two quarter sections of land north of the present location of the Marland re- finery. near Ponca. Okla.
 s1 A $1,000.000 building program has been started to build up this city in connection with the refinery and with in sight of the derricks of the Ponca field.
 Immediate plant provide for homes for 1000 people with additional land already acquired to provide for 5000 more.
 ing at right angles is to be broken by winding avenues. Small parks will be reserved throughout the section. Allswiring will be under ground. East of the residential section space is provided for a future business plaza, where sores may be. built. In the center of the plaza will be park, confronting to the landscape scheme of the section. Churches and good school building. will be built. The companies have employed ar chitects, who will supervise drawing of plans for all homes built. By this method it is hoped to do away with the similarity of construction so often found in present day construction. Architectural style will be varied as much as possible.

MiDH0MA WELL ATTRACTION IN
 OKLA. SECTION

Frederick, Okla, Aug. 16.-The
 interest in oil operation in Tillman
 county is void of any sensational fea- ture at the present. The Midhoma
 well holds the interest of all con- cerned. The promoters refuse to
 give out any definite news regarding
 this well. It has caused the prices of leases to go up.
 Otter creek we'll, located in Section driller has offered to put up $1O,0O0 that the well will come in good. The
 Fred-Till Oil company, operating on the Duncan lease in Section 72-18, is down 450 feet and working three shifts. It was reported the well being drilled by Armstrong two miles west of Davidson had found showing of oil at 250 feet. They are down 400 feet The last report on the Burk- Extension we'll on Section -2s- 6,v was depth of 1,800 feet and it is expected to reach the sand today. This well is being watched with in- terest as its development is to be the governing factor of the future for that section of the county just south Of Frederick. The West Texas De- velopment company, located on Sec tion 10-1s-16, is reported down about 1,400 feet and is in very hard for nation. This well is using a stand ard rig all the way. The Cosden we'll further east of Frederick, is changing from rotary to standard rig It is reported down about 1,5O0 feet.
 The Scout we'll, located on Section 11-2s-15, is down about 1900 feet. It is expected to reach the Fowler sand, or the same sand encountered in the Burk- -Waggoner field soon. The Burk- Imperial, located on Section a. ALA, which is across the river from the Burk- -Waggoner field, is less than mile from some of the larger wells in the Texas field. The result accom- plished in this test will prove whether or not the strata crosses the river.

DEEP WELL IN
 RANGER FIELD
 BIG PRODUCER
Gusher on Copeland Lease Flow. ing 2,OO0 to 2,500 Barrels
 Daily.

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 16.---John Markham Jr., and the Tidal Oil com pany have completed another good producer on the s. F. Copeland lease northeast of Ranger. The Copeland No. IT is reported to be flowing be- tween 2,00O and 2,5OO barrels daily from the lower Ranger sand at around $500 feet.
 The Butler No. 1 of the States Oil corporation, two miles north of the Perkins gusher of the Porter Wertz Syndicate, is flowing 45O barrels from the top of the lime at 3,46O feet. This we'll affords valuable extension to the territory opened up by the Perkins. It proves a big strip of territory lying to the north of the Perkins.
 The Barker we'll of the Guggen- helm interests which has been re- ported to be making several hum dred barrels of oil is actually making less than 100 barrels, according to the latest reports from the field It is making about 25,000,000 cubic feet of gas and heavy spray of oil. The big pay in the Barker is not expect cI uHueT O,oOU IeeI, as the Ddnley or the Prairie company and other pro- ducers in the same general district got the big pay below that depth.
 The Perkins and other recent big gushers in the Ranger field are hold ing up well towards their initial pro- duction. The Perkins is now making around 4,O00 barrels, the Albers on the Turner is making zoo barrels the Balentine is flowing 1,5OO and the two Boyd wells of the Texas company are making about, $500 bar rels together.

OIL INDIAN GIVES
 $25,0oo OF OIL
 MONEY TO CHURCH
Jackson Barnett, Incompetent of Creek Tribe, is Worth
 $6,OO0.OOO.

Henryetta. Okla., Aug. 16.-The First Baptist congregation of this city, erecting $60.0O0 church, has been given $25,000 by Jackson Bar nett. Creek Indian, estimated to be worth $3,00O,O00 in cash and an equal amount in oil, mineral and cattle lands.
 Barnett, an unrestricted Indian, was some time ago adjudged an in- competent by reason of age. He is ward of the county court, under the sanction of the department of Indian affairs. He expressed de- sire to make this donation, being a member of that congregation, through Rev. E. D. Cameron, pastor of the church. The latter presented the matter to Commissioner Cato Sells of the Indian Department, Washington, who sanctioned the gift. conditional upon the approval of County Judge Cleveland of Okmul- gee county, Okla, the home county of Barnett. Rev. Cameron received the sanction of Judge Cleveland who authorized the issuance of $25, ,OO0 check.
 Barnett is the last of the older tribe of Creek Indians, made wealthy by royalties from oil produced from his land allotted by the government. He is allowed $50 month spending money.

NEW SHALLOW SAND IS FOUND IN THE
 CADDO DISTRICT
Humble's Harris No. 1, PrOduc. ing 15O Barrels, Draws
 Attention.

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug 16- Operators in Stephens county seem determined to spring something new in oil circles, for following the dis covery of oil in the extreme north ern part of the county by the Mid Kansas in it's Hill we'll, the Humble Oil and Refining company brings the Caddo district to the front again with an entirely new and shallow oil sand. About mile northeast of the big Swenson we'll of the Swensondale Oil company the Humble Oil and Re- fining company's Harris No. 1 is showing for 150 barrels of oil at depth of about 1,150 feet. The we'll has been drilled only about three to five feet in the sand.
 Whether or not this is the Strawn sand remains to be determined A few operators are inclised to consider the shallow sands that have been en- countered at various points in East land county at depths varying from 1,400 to 1900 feet as the Strawn sand, which is producing near Strawn in Palo Pinto county. The produc- tion in the Harris we'll is. coming from sand instead of from a lime or shale formation Whether the Humble will develop this sand or go on to the lower formations has not been made public.
 At something like the same gen eral depth the Sun company had a similar showing of oil on the Carey lease in one of it's wells. This, how ever, was cased off and drilling con- tinues.
 The Harris lease on which the new sand has been found, is surrounded by leases held by the larger compan- ies, principally by the Empire. the Gulf Production company, the Texas company and the Swensondale Oil company
