hot pursuit OF the men in the north
ern part of Grady county The joy
riders came by the way Of Anadar-

speed of the car.
The soldiers abandoned the car
one-half mile north of Pocasset, and
boarded the morning Rock Island

rested here late Saturday afternoon.

GRADY county certainly has a
wide-awake sheriff" declared Doc
tor Mullen after his arrival in Chick
asha Saturday afternoon. "He was on
the job Immediately after being no
titled at o'clock, and to his eff
cheney and ability, must be accredited
the quick recovery of the car. His
work in this instance is surely worthy
of commentator"

Paris, May 12.-The allies are ex-
pected to reply today to the latest
German communications regarding
the peace terms. These communica-
tions were contained in two notes
filed with the French foreign office
by Foreign Minister Broskdorff-R Rant.
Eau
The first stated that Germany had
made many reforms contained in the
labor section of the peace treaty
and proposed an international law
conference at Versailles to revise
the article
The second acked for a reparation
of 100000 and, the prisoners of war
as soon as the treaty is signed The
latest communication followed the
one submitted last week. One asked
immediate admission to the league
of nations and the other declared
the terms of the league to be incon-
sistent with right and Justice.
TO the first the allies refused to
admit their right to enforce the
terms drafted.
Couriers are rusing between Yer
sailles and Berlin like shu.tlecocks.

Grady county farmers suffered Sc

Sunday morning, is the belief of j.

the first cutting Of the Grady county
crop was on the ground Sunday
morning, and all of this was practi-
cally destroyed" Mr.. Owens said.
boosting the enormity of the loss,
was the destruction to the wheat
crop Much of this was bedded to
such an extent that the crop will suf-
fer thirty per cent loss, according to
reports.
"The rain put the corn fields in
such condition that it may be some
time before the farmer can get into
the field to work. Consequently, this
will result in slight loss to the
corn crop.
"Included in the casualty list is
the cotton crop, which was injured
by J. Pmv's downpour COMPRISING
the soil to such an extent that some
of the plants will never penetrate the
crust and secure a sand. In such
instances the crust should be broken

cured; Threshermen Set the
Prices; Federal State
Office TO Help.

In a meeting held at the court
house Saturday afternoon, Grady
county farmers decided to pay uni
form price CT 40 cents per hour for
harvest hands. In the same meeting
it was decided that no price would
be fixed for hay harvest, allowing
each community to work out its own
problems along this line.
1t was pointed out that the advan-
tage in fixing a price on the whea.
harvest would be to insure that ev
cry section Of the county would be
supplied to a greater satisfaction
the uniform scale eliminating the
bidding for hands.
That there will probably be needed
in Grady county 1900 extra men to
care for the wheat harvest. was the
estimate reached after reports from
certain labor headquarters were
made 1t is not thought probable,
however, that there will be any trou-
BILE experienced in getting these men
as reports from the district office OF
the Federal-State Employment ser
vice at Kansas City, and which were
submitted by Chas. e. Day, superin-
tendent in charge Of the local office
showed that the Kansas City office
has surplus of men that can be
sent to Grady county when they are
needed to care for the wheat.
Mr. Day urged the farmers to place
their orders for men early in order
that the department will know how
many men to bring in.
at is the purpose of the depart
ment to bring in just enough men
TO supply the demand" said Mr.. Day.
'In this way there will not be 40 to
lCO men coming in here and lying
around idle. complaining that they
cannot find work. If the service
knows how many men are needed.
lust that many men can be brought
in and the surplus that without the
organization would probably drift
here, may be used in another quar-
ter. If the farmers will cooperate
with the Federal-State office here
there is no need to anticipate any
trouble in the harvest hand situation.
We know where we can get the men
and if the farmers will let us know
Just how many they need, we will
bring that number in and M more .
Threshermen Meet.
At the call of John c. Leiws, the

Fortuna No. 8 May Have New
Sand at 5000 Feet is Belief;
Well Being Closely
Watched.
HAWKEYE CEMENTS
CASING ON TOP PAY
Has Fortuna Sand at 2,245; Rigs
Building; Fortuna No. 2
Breaks Away and Flows
500 Barrels.

After lay-off Of seleral days ex-
citement in the Cement fled was
again aroused today by the reports
of two good showings at the. Hawk
eye in the NV of the ME of 600,
cff-setting the Gladstone No 1, and
the Fortuna No. 8 in the SW OF the
Me Of 35-6-1O.
Fer weeks the Fortuna No has
been watched with great deal Of in
terest by the fraternity as it is con
sidered one of the most important
tests in the field, by virtue Of the
fact that it represents the western
edge of development in the field and
at the same time is the first deep
test in the field.
May be New sand.
The reports concerning the For
tuna No. are that they have oil
showings and some gas at S,195. The
reports further state that it is be-
lieved they are on top of the deep
pay. The casing is frozen and they
are trying to work it. They have
water in the hole and at this time Il
Is impossible to tell whether the oil
showings come from the bottom OF
the hole or have broken in from
higher up. Should they get a we'll
in this sand, it would be the great
est piece Of luck the field has seen
since the first fell, oil men point
out.
The Hawkeye is down 2,245 feet
and with a nice showing the casing
is cemented and they are waiting
for it to set before drilling in. This
will require several days, and it is
not expected that the well will be
finished before the last of the week.
Hill Still Question.
The status of the Hill well in 39-6-
9 is still a question. No one seems
to know exactly what the outcome of
the we'll will be- 1t is reported this
morning that they are slated to pull
the eight inch back and work the
gas sand found considerably above
the present bottom of the hole. Oil
showings have been very light in the
Hill, but they have considerable gas.
The Williams well in 1868 is also
one of the principal question marks
Of the field. Just what they are do
ing or inhtend to do is not known.
It is said that J. w. Williams, in
charge of the well, has stated that
salt water has brol5n in on them.
They have some gas. Reports stat
ed this morning that they were try
ing to work the eight inch.
More Rigs Building.
More rigs are going up on the east
side. The Fortuna company is build
ing a rig in the SE-SB or 3-5-9. This
will be an offset to Gala Belle. The
Fortuna people own the east one
half of the SE Of 3-5-9 and two loca-
tions have already been announced
htere. Work on the second rig is
expected to start at once.
The Expansion in the SWSW Of
1868 is shut down at about / 1900
feet waiting on drill STEM
The Central Producers company
in the SEINE of 1910 is drilling.
