HE CAN'T GET INTO
 VOCATIONAL SCHOOL

Wm. Randall, of Holbrook, one of the Go. I boys, who was discharged for physical disability from Camp Kearney about a year ago, is here, planning to stay if he can find suit able employment. He has been try ing to get into one of the govern ment's vocational training schools, but finds the lureful stuff the govern ment's press agents get into the mag azines about the wonderful things these schools are doing for our heroes are not borne out when one seeks to get the benefit of them. His applica- tions have not brought him any en- couragement at all, and he is about disgusted with trying to get voca- tional training.
 Capt. E. M. Robinson, commander of the American Legion here, says that he shall bend every effort to get the national organization to demand that soldiers be placed in charge of the vocational training work, at least as far as the general management of it is concerned. He feels that the money the government is spending in vocational training should be paid out for soldiers and to soldiers. The sol- diers themselves would be much more in sympathy with and better under stand the need of the boys desiring training than the desk warmers now in charge. At present, practically all these bureau positions are filled with young men who were successful in keeping. out of active service them selves and who adopt toward the en- listed men an overbearing attitude.

Stunt Night at Normal { School A Success

Much interest was manifested by a large and enthusiastic audience which gathered at the beautiful new auditorium of the Normal school last Saturday night to witness a program which had been cleverly and uniquely planned. The entire evening was one of enjoyment and amusement, and strong competition prevailed among the students from the several differ ent counties and states, who were striving hard to put on the best stunt and to carry off the prize. Counties in the race were Coconino, Maricopa, Yavapai and Navajo, and the states were California and other states. Each clever stunt deserves mention and praise, but the judges, who were people not connected with the Normal school, after careful deliberation de- cided in favor of first prize going to Maricopa county and second prize to California. The actresses and actors evinced exceptional intelligence in their respective roles, giving evidence of skillful training, their work re- flecting credit upon teachers and pu- pills afike. The occasion was a most enjoyable one for all present. .

investments In Refneries
(Copied from the Wichita Oil Report
 CT, July IF, 1919.)

Carefully and accurately compiled statistics show that of the scores of refineries in Oklahoma and average profit in refining during January 1915, was GA cents per barrel, this taking gasoline at profit of 20 per cent, naptha 10, kerosene 32, fuel oil 35, and depreciation per cent, the average profit per barrel was GA cents. In January, 1916, the profit was 76 cents. In January, 1917, it was S6 cents, and while figures for the period since are not available it is believed the rate still increases.
 Taking a capacity of refinery at 1000 barrels a day, profit of $1 per barrel would bring $1,000 a day, S365,000 year, and pay profit of $1.84h on each S1 invested, on $200,- 900 capitalization.
 This may not be as large as some of the fabulous estimates and predic- tions of some oil companies, but it is many times more secure and certain and forms a remarkably safe and sane investment for conservative people who prefer safety first.
 Here are some of the dividends which have been and are now being paid by a few of the refineries over the country:
 Standard Oil (Cal.) 300 per cent in stock and 20 per cent in cash.
 Standard Oil (Ind.) 290 per cent in stock and 50 per cent in cash.
 Standard Oil Co. (Neb.), 53 per cent in stock and 30 per cent in cash.
 Vacuum Oil Co.,, 500 per cent in stock and 32 per cent in cash.
 Prairie Oil and Gas, 150 per cent in stock and 88 per cent in cash.
 Magnolia Petroleum Co.,, 250 per cent in stock and "A per cent in cash.
 Galena Oil Co.,, 50 per cent in stock and 58 per cent in cash.
 Midwest Refining Co.,, 300 per cent in stock and 70 per cent in cash.

TO- em now.''
He rose up from his chair and fred
a flower pot at Sallie. 1t caught her
right on the point of her chin.
It's cinch that If George had no
money with which to pay rent, he
surely couldn't pay any fine.
The court took this into consider

to see her hubby go to Jail, but she
wanted perfection"
She got ii. The court suspended a

Almost In Again.
Just few days ago Bill Massey
was released from Occoquan.
He had been sent there for beating
a woman named Mary Baylor.
When he reached town, Bill went
around to the woman's house to get
his clothes.
He was refused permission to enter.
he said. and went to the station house
and got two cops to go back with him
and get his duds
After this was all over, Bill and the
Awoman got into an argument and
Bill was pinched again.
Mary told Judge Mcmahon that Bill
told her that he was only going to
work three days. And when he got
paid for those days he was going to
buy gun and blow out her brains,
II such thing was possible.
It seems the people in the house
where Bill and Mary lived had little
or no use for Bill and wanted him to
keep away.
But" explained Bill, "Ah gotta
hab nah close! All CANT go roun lax
All as bawned. All went to git NAH

ill vote to decline an invitation ex-
tended by Samuel Gompers for such
q union.
The matter will be presented prob
ably early next week at one of the
secret sessions and be referred to a

ton by the convention.
II cannot. for my part, see that such
an alliance would be of any benefit to
tho grange" said Mr.. Wilson TODAY
"On the contrary there seems to be
many reasons why we should shun
any merger. However. that is a ques-
on which viii have to be passed on
by the grange as whole"
similar opinion was expressed by s.

committee from Fredonia. y. Y.
The purposes, the activities and the
aspirations of the National Grange
Seem. to conflict at too many points
with those of union labor said Mr.

ance could be harmonious. There are
some things on which we could
sgree, probably, but on many other
questions we are miles apart
