The future outlook for better
prices is not bright at the present,
which is especially true with fuel
oil, due to the fact that all large
users have their storage full and are
buying fuel oil for their present
needs from rehneres who have fool
ishly made consignments OF train
loads of fuel oil to Chicago and
other eastern markets and are there
fore forced to accept any price that
is offered by the buyers in those dis
tricts.
When refner consigns a train
load Of oil, or any amount, to him

thinking that he will be able to find
a better market at a better price
than was possible in the local mar

consider that the buyers have this

that the OIL IS consigned to himself.

spent yesterday in Ardmore. Mr..
Potter formerly resided in Ardmore
for a number OF years, and his many
friends are glad to know OF his sac
cess with his stock in the Hogg
Creek Oil and Gas Association, This
association owns 5000 acres in the
vicinity Of the famous Duke well,
This association was formed in
September, 1916, by ]. w. Potter
and Morris Sass of Ardmore, and
T. NJ. Deese of Midlothian, Texas.
Mr.. Deese is also we'll known in this
city, being one OF the organizers ct
the Thelma Oil Co., which was one
OF the first companies to get produc
ton in the Healdton field.
These men learned OF well tha:
was drilled several years ago that
was almost on the line Of Comanche
and Eastland counties in Texas, AMI
located one mile north OF the present
Duke well. This was two years ago
and was several months before the
first well was brought in in the
Ranger field. They sold stock in the
association, but were unable to
deepen the old well. Drilling was
started but was discontinued on ac-
count OF finances.
After the Ranger field w2s
brought in, the association made |
deal with the owners OF the Duke
Ncll for a test well on the southern
OF their holdings.
Duke well was brougth in Last:
ocr with zoo barrels, at a dept

Before the use of gunpowder, weap-
ons of steel, such as sword and spear,
were the soldiers chief reliance; and
in making and distributing the finer
grades of steel Damascus led the
world. The knight who owned "A
Damascus blade" had the very best
thing of its kind, stsll unsurpassed,
though tho sword has gone out of
fashion. According TO a writer in the
Journal Of the Royal Society of Arts,
this high-grade steel came originally
from India and was the result of a
process devised and developed by Hin
du artiticers.

ages, under the names OF dnmascene,
or Damascus steel. by another trade
route through Persia and the Gnu
casus It found its way into Russia.
"rhe iron and steel industry was
highly developed In ancient India. A
witness to this exists not only In
the famous w~rousht-lron pillar of Del
hi, but In many other specimens, some
of them at least being undoubtedly
high carbon cruclble steels.
"ro this last category belonged the
wootz, or small cakes Of carbon steel,

cakes were investigated by Renumur,
