FORGOTTEN HOW TO PLAY
PIANO SINCE WAR CAME

Paris, Sept. 81 Correspondence of the
Associated Press)-lnterviewed after
the signature Of the Asutrian treaty, Ig.
mace Jan PaderewsN. volunteered the

led:
And your art, Mr.. President, have
YOU given It up completely?"
Yes replied the former artist, II

Remembered His Promise

1t was just thirteen years ago when
w. /. Cruce bought a tract Of eighty
lcres of land in section IL, 4s2w, from
U. y. ReXroat Mr.. Cruce bought this
and thinking that possibly it might
produce oil some day, and at that time
ne told Mr.. ReXroat that if he made
any big money out of it he would buy
him the best suit Of clothes in Ard
more. Mr. Cruce has just sold por
ton Of this land to the Magnolia Pc
troleum Company for $3.50 an acre
md he remembered his promise to Mr.
Rexroat and sent him to Fred w. Horn
for not only his suit but an overcoat
IN addition. This land is located only
% short distance from the Carter oil
Company's well on the Noble farm
and it gives good promise Of being in
the producing area.

Will Start the Drill

J. B. French, president Of the Am
erlcan Industrial Oil Company, is here
today from Oklahoma City Mr.,
French's company owns large acre
age just a short distance east Of the
Westheimer * Daube big well in the
Hewitt district and the chances are
good that drilling operations Will be
started within few days on this acre
age. one well was drilled on this acre
age some time ago and the shallow
sands with showings of oil similar to
those found in the Hewitt field were
found on the American Industrial acre
age, but this well was not drilled to
the level Of the big producing sands.
The Hewitt field has been moved one
mile closer to this acreage by the
Westheimer & Daube well and mas
much as the production is getting
heavier in that direction, the outlook
is very encouraging and the prospects
are good that number of wells will
oe started in the vicinity Of the acre
age owned by the American Industrial
people.

Most Women Can Have
Says DR.. Edwards, a Well-Known
Ohio Physician

Dr.F.M.Edwards for II years treated
scores of women for liver and bowel all
ments. During these years he gave to
his patients prescription made of a
few well-known vegetable ingredients
mixed with olive oil, naming them
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets. You will
know them by their olive color.
These tablets are wonder-workers on
the liver and bowels, which cause a
normal action, carrying off the waste
and poisonous matter in ones system.
If you have a pale face, sallow look,
dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, head
aches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out
of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one
of DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets nightly
for time and note the pleasing results.
