About Our Fiscal Agent-Mr. J. B. Harris

Mr.. Harris, who has been so successful in the oil bust
ness, has a distinction of never having bought an oil lease that
failed to produce oil when developed. He is the pioneer from
Arkansas in the Ranger Oil Field, Also, he selected the lease
for the well-known Liberty Oil Company, the stock Of which
cannot be bought today for $500 per share. tStock sold orig
inally for $3.50 per share Mr., Harris also purchased the
lease for the Superior OIL Company, which has brought in a
gushcr during the past few days and which has caused Superior
to jump from $4,000 to 100000 per share. Credit must be
given Mr.. Harris for his good judgment.
MIR. Harris has selected all of the leases for this company
and is advising his friends and clients TO buy this stock as one
of the best investments that can be made today. His address
is 6O7 Southern Trust Building, Little Rock, Ark.

You cannot find anyone in the Ranger, Burkburnett and

you that they have lost money by investing in oil stock-the only
losses that you hear about in these fields are those who tell you
about the losses they made by not buying certain stocks when

CALL OFF FUEL RESTRICTIONS
Normal Production Promised in Very
Short Time

Restrictions on the use Of coal made
necessary by the recent strike Of
miners in the bituminous fields were
removed Monday and industry thru
out the country approached a normal
basis. Regional fuel directors con-
tinued to exercise supervision over
distribution, however, in order that
restoration Of the depleted reserves
may be equitable. ,
From nearly all Of the coal fields
reports came that fully 80 per cent
Of the miners were at the pits and
heads of the United Mine Workers
of America predicted that 95 per cent
Of the men would be at the mines
shortly. In a few instances locals
voted to remain idle pending further
adjustment of wages by the commits
sion which President Wilson is ex-
pected to appoint to take up the ques-
ton.
Operators said nothing like a nor
NAL output could be expected for sew
eral days, as it was necessary to clear
away debris which had accumulated
in large number Of properties dur
ing the 40 days Of the strike before
hosting Of coal could begin.
Stores which had been limited to
a business day Of only six hours for
more than week, in many localities
opened at the regular hour Monday;
factories, which had been closed. or
allowed to run only 8 days a week,
began operation on full time.
The restoration Of hundreds Of pas
senger trains which had been annulled
to conserve fuel was begun and reg
ional directors said former schedules
would be in force in . day or two.
Shipments Of newly mined coal have
been started from few mines and
were expected to be in the hands Of
distributors before the end Of the day.
Electric signs which were the first to
be affected when the conservation
order was issued, will now be lighted
as usual.

$22s.lo FOR FRANK HAMMOND
Benefit Dance Last Friday Night Nsts
Neat Sum SS

The benefit dance given at the C..
M. c. hall last Friday evening was
attended by one Of the largest crowds
Of the season. It was put on by the
Civic League and local American
Legion boys and the purpose wa to
raise money to send Frank Hammond,
returned soldier boy now confined in
a hospital in Washington City, slow
ly recovering from wounds received
in the service. The success attained
far exceeded the expectations of
Franks most ardent friends. Two
hundred six tickets were sold and the
total expense incurred amounted to
$27.90, leaving a net amount of
$229.1O, which was sent to the invalid
the following day.
Music for the occasion was furnish
ed by MAYORS orchestra, which play
ed until twelve o'clock, and by the
Nottingham orchestra, which pAayed
until time to go home. Both COM
panies Of musicians donated thlir sef.
vices, and Mr.. Seifert made no .eha4ge
for the use Of the hall. = "
It il hoped that Frank wip now
have enough money to get himself a
complete new outfit and spend Christ
mas with his mother and sister, who
live in New York. He certainly de-
serves Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year, and all his Oakes friends
hope he enjoys both. In case he is
able to go home, he will be obliged
to return to the hospital for at least
one more operation before he is re-
leased from the institution. Frank
sustained the loss Of one leg, and
what little his friends can do in the
way Of financial aid will be small re-
muneration for the injuries he has
suffered in our service.
Those in charge Of the dance wish
to express their sincere appreciation
to members Of both orchestras, Mr..
Seifert and all those who contributed
to make it the success it deserved to
be. It 10 such things as this that
make one glad he lives in Cakes.

Refused to Swallow Cigarette


Testimony that he had disobeyed
an order from Capt. Karl w. Deter
to swallow a lighted cigarette, was
given Tuesday by Private Marcello
Gonzales Of San Antonio, Texas, at
the court martial on Governors Is-
land, Of Captain Detzer, charged with
brutality to prisoners in criminal in
vestigation headquarters at lie Mans.
The charge that Gonzales had been
compelled to eat the ciearet was one
OF the most sensational Of the %
specifications facing the officer. A
previous witness had testified to hear
ing the order given but said he did
not see what became Of the cigaret,
as he left the room. Gonzales stated
that despite the order, he had thrown
the "butt" to the floor Of the guard
house.
He testified that he had been pick
ed up by Captain Detzer's men in
Le Mans and that although his pass
showed he was only Is minutes late,
he had been detained for approximate.
ly three months. Il developed in
cross-examination, however, that this
detention was due. to the prisoners
physical condition. Frequent skirm-
ishes between opposing counsel, mark
ed the session.
