The baying of the hound was nearer
now. Suddenly we saw big buck
come down to the shore of the cove
near us and on our side OF the stream.
He looked to right and left. Then he
made a long leap into the water and
waded slowly until it covered him. He
raised his nose and laid his antlers
back over his shoulders and swan
quietly downstream. his nose just
showing above the water. His antlers
were like Il bit of dfiftwaod. If we
had not seen him take the water his
antlers might easily have passed for
Il bunch of dead sticks. Soon the buck
slowly lifted his head and turned his
neck aud looked ut both shores. Then
very deliberately he resumed his place
under water and went on. We watched
him as he took the farther shore be-
low us and made of in the woods
again.

passage of dirgibe both ways over

ment of the new transportation under

would have II monopoly of the helium
supply, but Professor McLennan, of the

discovery well at Hewitt, is underream'

the bottom of the oil.bearing sand or
broke in from the top. In the discovery
well at the same depth, Il sand was

Gas in Cement Field

southwest of 2.5.9. came in for a gas
ser estimated at around $1,000, 900 cubic
feet daily, according to Clint C. Stein
berger of the Gorton Trust.
Mr.. Stenberger stated that they had
drilling the cement plug out of the hole,
when the gas blew in. The flow grew
stronger and they were unable TO get
the standard tools back in the hole to
deepen the test to the oil sand because
of the gas pressure.
They will bradenhead the flow off If
possible, and if unsuccessful the gas
will be mudded off and they will deepen
the well TO the oil sand, Mr.. Steinber-
ger stated.

mayor said he would take the matter
up with the county attorney, ascertain
the number of pounds of each of the
articles desired, which can be contained
in a car. and recorder the goods.
The plan for selling in carload lots,
as adopted by several towns in Oklaho.

direct from the car to the consumer

The order for one or more ears will

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully.
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkah.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo (Which is pure and grease
less), and is better than anything else
you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright lustrous. fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut Oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every men,
