"a typical example of the recent trading in
the Ranger territory is afforded by a well
known lease. Originally the farmer owner
was paid a cash bonus of one dollar an acre,
and, of course, the promise of one-eighth roy
atty of the oil produced. However, when
production got within one and a half miles
of his farm the owner grew impatient and
sold half his eighth interest for 100000 cash
to a crowd of Fort Worth capitalists. Later
on the business men sold out their interest
at eight to ten times what they paid for it;
no doubt to the intense anger of the farmer,
who probably considers them a gang of rob-
bers. "-Albert W. Atwood in Saturday

Solving The Ice Problem No. 3
 Elements Entering Into Cost of Manufactured Ice.

A plant for the manufacture Of ice having been established and made read dw for operation must then pro- duce it's ice, a manufacturing opera ton very similar to other manufac- turing operations.
 There is but one really nOv<l ele- rnent in the raw materials Of ice manufacture. Machinery, as pumps, blowers agitators and the like are driven iby power; of steam produced by coal, fuel oil, or perhaps by cleo tria current. The steam boiler will consume coal and water. There will be as many pounds of 5"ater as there is of ice, and more because every op- eration includes some waste.
 The ammonia the volatile fluid, which changing constantly from liquid to a gaseous state and back again through continuing alternations is the one novel material used in the process.
 Since no two manufacturing estab- Ishments are conducted in quite the same way. and since there are varia- tiorr in the efficiency of one plant and another. no figures are conclu- sive. to the last fraction, for any plant.
 The figures here given are for a tvpfcal 50 ton plant, at the prices of materials in 1915. The boiler is fired by coal Here are the figures: Labor, fuel and ammonia for
 216 days full capacity, S10,314.00 Labor for remainder Of the
 year, Z'5eoJ per cent depreciation on
 equipment, 1,5oo.o0

 It will be remembered that this dis cussion relates to the manufacture of the ice, ready for delivery. These fG- ures do not include charges for de- livery.
 Since the figures are taken in 1915, when the rise in prices had not reach ed the top, it will be understood that present costs of production would Dc
