Des Moines, April 2s.-Before the
Thirty eighth general assembly ad-
journed and since that time there mas
been more or less talking among politl-
cal leaders as to Iowa's choice for the
republican nomination for president in
1920.
The leaders are of course anxious
that the republicans put UP man IN
1920 who can win out over any demo-
cratic nominee, since the democrats
will have had eight years at the pic
counter when next election time rolls
around. A high compliment has been
paid Senator William 5. Kenyon, OF
Iowa, in some quarters in Suggesting
his name rs a possible candidate TOT
president and the Iowa leaders wouio
Of course welcome an opportunity -

Lowden. of Illinois, 1t is also evident.

as he is a former Iowan ands a dis
tinguished neighbor. He has been
talked Of for some time as being avail
able presidential timber and would un-
doubtedly be heartily supported by the
voters of the Hawkeye state.
There is great deal of talk over
the possibility of former President
William Howard Taft being candi-
iate for t nomination. There ap-
pears but little question but what
Taft Is more popular in Iowa than
formerly His recent visit to the state
and his discussions Of the league Of

The subject appear to have been spien-

The women Of Iowa will be factor
in the selection OF president next year
inasmrch as the law passed by the re-
cent legislature gives them the right
TO vote for presidential candidates both
In the primary and in the general cleo
ton. This right has been extended to
the women in many of the states OF
the union. Hence the women Of the
United States will be taken into con-
sideration by the party leaders.
There is not much discussion at the
present as to the republican candi-
dates for governor. The legislators
were much more interested at adjourn
ment time in the possibilities in the
field for lieutenant governor. Among
the various Legislators mentioned for
this honor at adjournment time were

long and extend from Healdton

town it will connect with the Head

at Gainesville and the new line will

insure an ample supply of crude at
all times.
For many m onths the Empire
Pipe Line company has had
gathering lines in the Burkburnett
pool and has been shipping out the
Oil in tank cars. Two months AGO
the rk-Waggoner we'll, more than
two miles to the northwest of the
town, came in thus making the pool
much larger in extent. The freight
congestion has made it extremely
difficult to handle the oil by rail and
the discovery Of the extension has
made it worse.
At the present time only two pipe
lines are in the field-the Texas and
the Magnolia. The Empires lines
when completed will be able to carry
about 10000 barrels daily.
Besides the actual laying of the
pipe lines, steel storage tanks will
have to be built along the line as well
as pumping stations. The ditching
will be comparatively easy, as most
of the right Of way will be across
level land. Ditching machines will be
used to great advantage.

OIL INDUSTRY IS
EXPANDING WITH
Great RAP|DITY
Little Companies Getting Big,
and Big Ones Growing
Bigger.

Little oil companies are getting
big, and big oil companies are getting
bigger No industry ever grew so
fast as the petroleum industry is ex-
banding today. Efforts have been
made to stop the boom, but no human
power can cause it to halt. Timid
persons fear that foolish investments
will be made in oil, and the poor
man of today become the rich oil man
of tomorrow, all of which happens
while the timid person shudders at
the thought that some oil investor
may lose his money.
Of course, there are disasters
along the line. So long as persons
will hand owe rtheir cash and bonds
to strangers in exchange for oil
shares, just SO long will there be
losses along the petroleum route
But, when the small investor asks
wise counsel of his banker, he finds
that there is no trouble in making in
vestments in oil that will be safe and
profitable.
Giant corporations that operate in
oil are joining hands with other giant
oil companies to expedite the handl-
ing Of crude oil and it's products.
Organizations with millions of dol
lars Of assets in oil are combining
with other similar organizations that
have immense resources. The result
is satisfactory to the stockholders.
Many small companies are grow
ing so fast that their capital is taxed
to handle expanding business. The
result calls for added financial re-
sources. Every one knows that the
demand brings forth the money of
the small investor who sees great
earnings ahead in companies that are
wisely managed.
Those who are familiar with the
situation bring reports that increased
investments in Oil shares are being
made by the small investors who rea-

III FORT WORM SldT- elepTim
The widow of the Millionaire Me-
Clesky, the man on whose farm the
first we'll in the Ranger field was
brought in, sat before stove in her
small cottage in Ranger, rocking a
baby to sleep. The raucous sounds
of passing vehicles, the coarse voices
of men did not disturb the quiet of
her room. She seemed oblivious to
the seething activity about AS the
chair swayed to and fro the child's
eyes dropped and closed.
Her figure was tall and gaunt. Her
iron gray hair coiled high, revealed
the shapely contours of her head.
Her eyes from behind the spectacles,
were keen direct. They seemed to
possess strange power of far vision,
as if they were accuctomed to gaz-
ing over great space. She was
dressed in blue percale.
Mrs. McClesky is Texan. She af-
firms the fact with emphasis. She
is typical woman of the plains.
There is a feeling of power about
her, power gained by conquest. For
tune has been unkind, but with stocial
calm she has gripped the opposing
fates and triumphed.
Destiny did not mock her in theat-
rical moments, when nervous energy
stimulates combative courage. Hers
was the lot of daily, monotonous
drudgery One instinctively knows
that she did not complain, that every
sunrise saw her prepared to meet the
trials of the day confident in her
own power to surmount them.

but for 100 mile around, in wildcat
territory, enormous sums were paid
and are still being pair for prospective
oil rights.
In one case at least the difficulty
met with in locating the owner of a
6O-acre farm in the Ranger district
shortly after oil was discovered here
last summer brought the man many
thousand dollars more money for his
oil lease than he probably would other
wise have received. The farm owner
in question was Henry Lobard. He
was one Of the drouth refugees who
had gone to shipbuilding plant in
Louisiana in order to make enough
money to live on. When the Ranger
field began to develop, land lsase
values mounted to dazzling heights.
Scores of oil operators and specula-
tors wanted to get hold Of the 6O-acre
farm of Henry Lobard, but he could
not be found. Had he been on the
spot in the beginning of the excite
ment he probably would have accepted
a few dollars an acre for lease of
his place. 1t was several weeks
after the discovery we'll was brought
in that Lobard by chance picked up
a daily newspaper and read of the
geat oil excitement which was raging
at Ranger. 1t was the first he had
heard Of it. He quit his job and came
back to town. News of his arrival
quickly spread around, and in no
time he was surrounded by a group
Of oil men, each trying to obtain a
lease on his farm. He finally accept

choosing investments that they do in

But, if investors blindly stumble
