expected value when municipal oil

ing it on the north. Remembering
Burkburnett, where town lots offset
ting oil wells brought leases as high
as $4,000 plus royalties, it is unlikely
that these will be on the market for
more than few days This is the way
in which they are offered by the local
company:

Answer This Question.

If an experienced oil company pays $20,-
900 to offset the Municipal tract is it worth
5000 for you to do likewise and at the same
time secure your investment with valuable
building property in a thriving oil center?

ONLY | MORE DAY
Of 17-CENT MILK

Tomorrow is the last day in which
wartime milk price prevail in Wash
ington.
In accordance with an agreement
between DR.. William c. Fowler, Dis
trict Health Officer, and the Maryland
and Virginia Milk Producers Asso-
citation, the wholesale price of milk
to the dealers drops TO 81 cents a
gallon.
This agreement topples the IT-cent
milk structure" which was builded
during the war. and the fair price
of milk to the consumer, as agreed
upon by DR.. Fowler, the producers
and the larger distributors of Wash
ington, becomes II cents a quart
The 14-cent price will prevail dEr-
ing the coming two months at least.
13-Cent MIX Possible.
Il believe that some milk, and
very good quality milk, will be sold
in Washington for Is cents q quart,
a cent below the standard price, dur
ing the coming months" said DR..
Fowler.
''One OF my reasons for this state
ment is that producers in States
north OF Maryland and Virginia are
starting to send milk to Washington,
and this condition. makes for a sur
plus of available milk in the National
Capital. With a surplus the price is
bound TO drop even lower, TO some
extent. than the 14-cent price"
DR.. Fowler gave assurance today
that the high standard OF milk sold
in Washington will be maintained de-
spite the drop in price.
THE dealers know that the Health
Department is determined that the
laws be observed, and ara expressing
their willingness to cooperate with
the health officials in the mainten-
ance of the milk standards" said DR..
Fowler.
All dealers, because OF the drop
in wholesale prices are supposed to
put the 14-cent-a-quaTt rate into ef-
feet on May L, so Washington resi-
dents who are asked to pay more
than IA cents a quart after tomorrow,
are advised by the Health Department
to make vigorous protest.

FEAR OF OUTSIDE LEAGUE To
SPRING. UP,

PARIS, Jan. 22-The Supreme
| Court Council of the Allies finds it.
self facing the danger of an outside
league Of nations, it is admitted upon
high authority and this danger will
constitute one of the early matters
of discussion before the preliminary
conferences, it is said. If Germany
and Russia, with their millions Of
population are not included in the
conference, it is almost certain that
their exclusion will constitute a pow
erful drift toward league formed Of
the nations left outside. There are
many international experts on Paris
who express the opinion, without re-
serve, that Germany, Russia and Chi
ma could form a league which could
cause trouble and delay to any league
Of nations sponsored by the Allies
and neutral countries.
