ALL EYES TURNED TO
SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA
AS BIG OIL { T \ TE R

southern Oklahoma Is attracting at
this time the attention of more Of
the big oil companies than any other
section Of the state" said w. L. Lar
kin today. Mr. LarRin is production
superintendent for the Texas Company
in Southern Oklahoma, and is one of
the most practical as well as one of the
best informed oil men in this portion
of oklahoma. Continuing, Mr.. Larkin
said, in spite of the high prices and
scarcity of drilling material there is
Il wonderful activity here and still big.
ger things are being planned. II oil
well supplies were plentiful there would
be drilling in the southern fields of
the state as many as $50 more wells
by the first Of January than there will
be actually drilling but even with this
shortage there is an activity here that
Is sufficient to swell with pride the
hearts of the people of this district and
10 attract the widest attention of the
oil men.
Some big pipe line projects said
Nj. Larkin. are being carried out now
and still bigger projects have, been
planned and they will be executed when
material can be had.
The scarcity Of supplies does not
eliminate the possibilities of hundreds
OF tests being drilled in the country
from the east to the west line of the
state along the banks Of Red river or
through the southern tier of counties, d"
said Mr.. Larkin.
The Ardmore district is attracting
by far the major portion of this wide
spread activity but wells are drilling
and are being planned in a territory
covering a large area in this section
OF the state and the southern tier OF
counties in Oklahoma are worthy of be.
ing watched very closely by the oil in
terests of the country.
The Daily Ardmoreite is in close

up the green things" The appearance
Of the dead and withered branches
doubtless was such as TO justify such a
conclusion. One "T. NJ" supposed to
be Thomas Matthews, son of Samuel
Matthews, governor of Virginia, who
observed the cicadas in 1873, fell into
the same error.
For nearly 300 years, then, the writ
ten record Of the clcada has been
piling up, undergoing corrections now
and then, receiving new discoveries
from time to time. AS nearly as can
be judged it is complete now. The
latest addition Is a circular, "The Sew

Merritt of the office of information,
United States department of agricul-
ture. 1t does not pretend to present
new facts, but it gives a succinct his
tory of the cicada and the protective
means that can be taken against 1t.

BOY
H.
SCHOOLS AS SCOUT QUARTERS

In connection with the movement to
make the school building the commu-
nifty center with a wide variety of
public-welfare activities, Dudley Grant
Hays. director of community centers
In the public schools of Chicago, de-
clares that "the boy scouts and camp
fire girls should have their places for
meeting at the. schools"
This is n direct point OF contact
with boys that the school authorities
should not overlook. More concrete
evidence is coming TO the boy that If
the superintendent or the principal or
his teachers have a real interest In
his welfare outside of school hours.
1t would not fail to be reflected in bet
ter school work.
1t Is fairly certain from experience
with boy scouts who have been al
lowed the use of public halls and
church rooms and similar places for
their meeting rooms and In which to
conduct their scout tests ana go
through the various features of their
program as far as it is possible in
doors that school buildings will not
suffer by such use. On the contrary
scouts will be found valuable aids in
keeping the premises in good order
and in good repair as n result of their
partial occupancy.

CHINESE SCOUTS STOP FLOOD.

In Picking, China, with the fOunda-
ton of the scout troops at Using Hua
college, in 1918. began a growth of
scouting that has led to Its recogni-
ton in North China.
In the summer of 1913 the boy
scouts directed the dixie building
which saved countless lives in the.
flooded districts of the province of
Chill.
In addition TO this a great variety
of good turns stands out in the Chi
nese scout history. Scouts have sold
American Red Cross stamps, made Il
census of the people Of the Using Uua
community, distributed leaflets against
the evil custom of early marriage, and
raised funds for the Tientsin flood re-
lief.
During the war scouts did much to
make the Chinese troops happy

sent to the soldiers in Siberia.

WHY Diamonds Burst.

That diamonds burst Is an old ldea,
which hns been %varlously explained. II
has been thought that the stones have
been fractured by violent eruptions In
the lnclosing rocks, by sudden removal
OF pressure around them, or In the
smoky specimens by spontaneous
breaking up. DIR. !. II. Sutton con
cludes that the breaking usually re.
suits from the minerals Enclosed. These
may he garnet, zircon, llmenite or iron
pyrltes, and such crystals, under
ordinary heating ut least, have so
much greater expansion than the dla-
mond that they would exert great
pressure.
