Lost Child Found
Asleep at Home

Considerable excitement was oc-
casioned last evening by the mys-
terious disappearance of little
Edith Rose II year-old daught ar of
Mr.. and Mrs. D. Lee Rose.
The child failed to arrive home
from school at the usual time but
it was supposed that she had gone
to play with some little friends.
When she failed to appear at
supper time the family became
alarmed and made Inquiries in the
neighborhood. No trace of her
could be obtained and when dark
ness came searching parties were
instituted and the town and sur
rounding country thoroughly
searched.
The house was searched several
times without, avail. When every
thing else failed a thorough search
of the house and premises was
made and the child was discovered
fast asleep on the back porch
curled up in a clothesbasket.
According to her story she hat
played with some little friends a
Nonantum Heights until dark AM
upon arriving home found tn
doors locked. Tired out with wait
ing she had entered the basket an
gone to sleep.

Long before the opening hour,
s o'clock the youth of the town,
those for whom it is primarily in
tended. arrived in goodly numbers
and esconsed themselves in the
front seats. Most of them had al
ready met Mr.. Bebout and had
heard Mr.. White during the two or
three days previous.
The 500 seats provided by the
committee were filled before and
late comers had to line up against
the walls.
James Hastings led the assemb-
ly in the singing of populor songs
to accompaniment by George Mad
dens. The singing of the "preps"
on the front seats was a notable
feature of the occasion. Under
"Jimmy's' magnetic influence they
shouted Justify the popular songs
of the day and the trench songs
of Yesterday. Vociferous calls for
"Cootie" excited the curiosity OF
the audience and of the leader, but
he agreed to lead if they'd do the
singing and to the familiar air OF
"K-K-Katy," they sang Justify,

An Interesting Situation

One of the most interesting situations
in Carter county exists in the Graham
and Poolevile districts and there are
two wells starting that will bear the
closest watching on the part of the Oil
fraternity. Here are the circumstan-
ces which make the situation interest
ing.
The Oklahoma Fox oil Company drill
ed a well some time ago in section 7.2s-
wv. at a depth of about 1900 feet a sand
that produced a high grade Of oil was
found The sand had thickness Of
only three feet and ii would not make
q we'll The rig was then moved to
the north in the same section and
second well was drilled. This same
well and it had thickness of thirteen
feet. The company has now moved
its machinery still farther north but
in the same section and the third we'll
has been spudded. The company eX-
poets well at depth of about 1900
feet.
Earl Athey, who drilled the other two
wells and who is well acquainted with
the formations there, is also drilling
this well. TO make the situation more
the Coline Oil Company is
getting ready to drill farther to the
that oil men think well enough of the
chances to pay as much as 500 an
acre for lands there.

West of Discovery Well

Some fear has been expressed that
the new field discovered in Carter
county would not extend very FAR 10
the west In support of this conteh'
ton 1t has been pointed out that the
Whittle well in 2S.i.2 and the Blue
Jay Petroleum Company well in section
20.42 were drilled TO the level OF the
Hewitt sand without results. 1t comes
from very reliable source that the
Blue Jay well was drilled only to
depth of 1910 feet instead of 2250 feet
as has been the report. Also when the
whole truth is known It will be reveal
ed that the Whitte well was not drill
ed to the level of the Hewitt SAND. AS
has been stated before one of the re
suits of the discovery Of . 2OOOfoot
sand In Carter is to relieve many nun
dreds of acres from condemnation be-
cause shallow wells have been drilled.

THE HEART OF
HUMANITY" AT PALACE

"The Heart OF Humanity" which -
10 be presented ut the Palace Theatre
next Tuesday and Wednesday, with
Dorothy Phillips in the featured role
is an eight.reel Allen Holubar proauc
ton which brings TO the screen the III
spring story of woman's efiofts W
alleviate the sufferings of the wound
ed and orphaned and homeless curing
the days when France and Beislu"
were SCARED and scared by sword ana
torch and pounded and rocked by great
German guns. 1t depicts the tender
ness of the mother.heart in its conilict
with the horrors of war. 1t pays de-
served tribute TO womanhood as eX'
pressed In the Red Cross nurse IL
presents IA side Of the war which we
have been too prone TO overlook
The story of "The Heart OF Hu'
manity" was written by Olga Scholl
and Allen Holubar, adapted for the
screen by Mr.. Holubar and produced
by him. 1t deals with the romance
of Nanette, the little ward OF Father
Michael, parish priest of a comrnu'
nifty in the Canadian Northwest. While
the parishioners are celebrating the
marriage of Nanette and John, the
oldest and bravest of the Widow Pa
tricia's five sons, news comes Of the
declaration of war by Germany.
John answers the call to the colors'
and, with three of his brothers, en-
lists in the Canadian Expeditionary
Forces. Eventually the fifth boy
goes. Johns letters to Nanette de-
scribe the suffering endured by
France and Belgian children so vivid
ly that the mother.heart in Nanette
is awakened and she determines to go
abroad as Red Cross nurse.
On the wartorn fields of Flanders
the little wife meets her husband but
once, after which she is captured by
the Germans. They are reunited,
however, after q series Of thrilling
scenes which vividly portray the final
halting of the great German drive and
then the counter.attacl which sent the
Prussian hordes fleeing for refuge TO
their own border.
Through the entire production there
runs thread of heart interest that
