A Mothers Viewpoint.

Does the question preclude the
woman's viewpoint? I hope not.
I believe William Tanners act
was one Of both superb sacrifice
and folly.
In the realm of emotions his
choice was superb. The plight
challenged tie emotions and few
men would have had the mental
poise which would have-at such
a moment-summoned the reason
to act.
But duty challenges more than
the emotions. In our children we
make our Joint contribution to So
cicty; at the same time assuming
partnership in the responsibility
OF caring for and making them
fit earth-dwellers. Have we the
right to choose to shift that re-

1t was, of course, Mr.. Tanners
duty to remain with and try to
save his wife, as long as there was
a chance, no matter how slim that
chance to save her might have
been; he no doubt did remain with
and try to save her. until It was
too late to save himself. II that
was not the case. II he tried until
he was sure he could not save
her and then deliberately commit
ted suicide, I'd think Just as much

II is much easier to tell another

Dedication of an Ideal.

William F. Tanners death
was the dedication of an ideal.
In the twinkling of an eye the
choice was thrust upon him
the choice OF desertion with
life or devotion with death. He
roically he chose death. He
did not needlessly throw away
his life; rather. he saved it
saved 1t by severing 1t from
that deadliest of handicaps-
selfishness.
At the hymeneal altar Will
lam F. Tanner made a solemn
vow, and in that hour he be-
came imbued with a vision. A
good woman's implicit faith and
trust in him was a part of that
vision. and his determination TO
be true to that faith and trust
was the other part of the Wis
ion. His last words. "I'll stay
with you, Mary" ring true to
that vision.

The Important Thing
About Prices

1t is important enough that
prices are high, but it is more i'm
portant that people should know
whether the high level is going to
continue. The doubt that fingers
concerning the matter has reflect
ed itself in too little activity among
the industries in America. Some
people ask the question; "Will
prices of labor come DOWN." The
answer is found in history of la
hor for the last half century
Haven't they always been going
up? The largest employers in the
country are not thinking of reduc-
ing the cost of labor, but they are
concerning themselves with the
ways and means of meeting the
new standards.

Burkburnett Oil Field
a Place for Poor Men

Burk kburnett probably has en-
riched more poor men than any
other field in history. 1t offered
opportunities for the poor man,
for acreage or stock could be had
in small lots at low prices in the
beginning. Probably the record
winning on a small investment is
reported by a Dallas oil driller
named McKain, who bought $500
worth of stock in the Fowler we'll
and sold his shares for $4,000 in
cash.
Acreage prices in the new field
are more startling than stock quo
tations. When acreage reached
81 900 it was regarded as a stiff
price. But it continued to rise.
Veteran oil men declared that
more than $1,000 an acre could
not be paid if the operator was to
make anything. But the prices
advanced to $4,000 and $4,000
an acre for inside stuff. Still they
continued to climb and only re-
Gently small fractions have been
sold on a basis of 100000 an acre.
Burkbunett is milling, surg
ing mass of men and women,
teams, automobiles and trucks.
Jewellers and automobile dealers
have waxed fat in Ranger and
Burk burnett, for the newly rich in
most cases demand large cars, big
diamonds, and are willing to pay
the prices.
In the Ranger field there are
ninety-eight producing wells, fifty
on top of the sand and 300 drill
ing or with rigs up preparing to
drill. In Stephens county there are
forty-seven producing wells, TWEEN
ty on top of the sand and 200
drilling or preparing to drill. In
Comanche county there are twen-
ty producing wells, four on top of
the sand and forty-fve drilling.
1900 Wells in West Texas
In at least twenty-five other
West Texas counties drilling is
going on and the total number of
wells in West Texas is in excess
of 1900. The $50 wells in proven
or semi-proven territory of West
Texas represent an outlay of ap-
proximately S3S,750,000. The
595 in Burkburnett represent an
investment of Sl0,710,00O approxi-
