SAINTS
when it comes to moderate for
tunes, oil is surely no respecter of
persons" The ways of fortune in
the great Southwest today are past
all human understanding. Now and |
then, fortune is cold and flinty |
hearted, dispensing her goodies only |
to the favored few" Then again |
she breaks loose and showers her
golden smiles and fayors with lavish
and impartial hand upon whole
communities, upon butcher and
baker and candlestick maker; upon
the wise, the good, the wicked ana
the foolish
Thus wrote Albert w. Atwood,
noted writer, in q recent issue Of
The Saturday Evening Post
Atwood says that stories of the
sudden fortunes made in oil cannot
be exaggerated. True, he could have
said more lie could have told of
scores Of folk in the Ranger and
Burkburnett oil fields who became
wealthy almost over night

This announce ment was made by W H. Lamar, soli- tor of the Postofice Department and member of the federal wire control committee
 Under the new rates as announced by Mir. Burleson there will be a basic charge of six and one-quarter mills J mile airline mileage, with half tue day rate for night service up to mid night and one-fourth of the day rata between that hour and 4:30 o'clock in the morning.
 The new charges were recommend ed in the first report of the commir- tee on rate standardization and MT Burleson said their effect would be to equaIze the toll and long distance charges over the country In many instances rates in certain localities will be increased and this fact led to efforts of some state regulatory bodies to prevent the new schedule from being put into effect.

Southern men are saying that the wheat farmers are going to have the better of the cotton growers after all. Wheat producers were very much dis satisfied that the price of wheat was fixed and retained at S220 a bushel when the demand would have forced the price much higher than that figure A great point was made that no pri, } was fixed on cotton, although 1t was soaring around 8 and B cents q pound. \ Southern member of the house said that the advantage next year was going to lie with the wheat grower. He would still have his S2 20 a bushel, even if Argentine and Austra- Han wheat was coming in at $1 or S1.2 a bushel. The cotton grower, how ever. not having his price fixed at 35 cents q pound. which was suggested a short time ago, is likely to face price of 16 or + cents pound next year. Consequently the wheat farmer will have all the hest of it, though he was very much disturbed that higher price was not fixed for his wheat. The end of the war caused reduction in the price of wheat and will cause re- duction ill the price of cotton. If the war had continued the demand for both these commodities would have in- creased.
