We own Four Choice Tracts, as you will see by the map to the left. Five acres in the DesdemOna feld-Eastland County, Texas-"HOg Town" neighbOrhoOd There are NO DRY HOLES IN THIS FIELD! This is where we have let a contract to drill our first well. It is one mile north of the Lizzie Queen, now producing $500 bar rels day. A half-mile northwest of the Dabney 3,600-barrel well, and is ENTIRE LY surrounded by many other large pro- ducing wells. Two other 5-acre tracts of ours are entirely surrounded by five big producing wells, and our other 10-acre tract is midway between the DesdemOna and Ranger pools, which expert oil men say is the meeting point of the DesdemOna and Ranger pools, thereby making this tract wonderfully valuable.

The great Desdemona Texas Oil Field is now recognized as one of the largest and most profitable oil fields in the world. Oil is one of the worlds greatest necessities today and must continue to be for many years to come. The demand is constantly growing, and the supply is insufficient to meet the demand.

THAT LITTLE INCIDENT.

A number of well Intention
ed people are still worrying
over the sinking of the German
fleet by German naval officers.
They are grieved at the thot
that the British either sanction
ed it, or Intentionally neglected
to take sufficient precautions
to prevent it.
And, unfortunately. it seems
only too evident that the Brit
ish made little attempt to pre-
vent the contingency. To de-
clare that they never conceived
it possible would be demand
ing too much of human credul-
ity, which is probably why they
do not make that declaration.

ago that the sinking of the Ger

He may raise turnips, but he
does not mean to live on tur-
nips exclusively for the rest of
his life. His idea is to sell his
produce, rather than to eat il
himself.
These are fairly elementary
truths, and we would apologize
for expressing them if they ap-
peared to be universally
known. But they do not. They
don't seem to be appreciated
at Washington.
Wheat is not of much use to
the consumer if it can not be
transported to him. And the
railroads do not at present look
as though they could do it.
Then how is it to be carried ?
In aeroplanes?
The banks have been prepar-
ing to finance the moving of the
crops, as they do each year;
but just now it looks as though
fiscal adjustments were going
to be held up. The railroads
seem unable to say anything
definite about the prospect of
repaying any loans. Congress
was going to arrange some set
tlement which would enable
the roads to confer with the
banks on a footing of some GER
tainty, but il has omitted to do
so. with the prospect that the
grain will remain in the eleva-
tors and food prices will soar to
heaven.

is THE LEAGUE
A STEP-CHILD?

A good many people have
stultifed themselves in their
attitude toward the League of
Nations. 1t seems to be the
popular thing Just now to say
that President Wilson has be-
trayed us to the sinister polite
ians of the allies.
1t shows that we have rather
short memories. So far fiom
inreigling us into a compact
with themselves, the allies took
a rather phlegmatic view of
the league when the subject
was preached, and were sub
jected to severe criticism from
us for that reason.
When the armistice was
signed President Wilson decid-
ed TO attend the conference.
From all parts of the country
arose encomiums and adula-
ton, with some criticism. We
were told that the president
had conceived the idea of Il
league to prevent future wars.

lie had formulated a new pol
icy Tor the world.
We claimed, in fact, that the
idea of a league to enforce
peace originated in the super
ior sagacity of this country. 1t
is rather late to deny it now.
We were the originators of the
idea. We wanted the credit
for it, and if the scheme works
well, land we think it willy we
deserve the credit for it.

RECIPROCAL.

The treaty which we have
signed with France imposes
upon us the duty of sending
another A. f. +. to Europe if
Germany begins again to for
tify the Rhine valley, or to take
other steps of an aggressive
nature.
The British are Likewise
bound to send another B. f. F.
to France under the same con-
ditions. All three of us are
siEnatories to the treaty.
Now it would seem at first
that the treaty is a little one
sided. The French and Brit
ish 10 not bind themselves 10
lend US an army and fleet il we
are attacked by Mexico or
Japan. And, as a consequence,
number of critics are COM
planning that We have again
been victimized.
But the one-sideCness OF the
treaty is only appaiert. 1t may
gtieve a number % " to sec
tbs country assuming any Of
T, . obligations implied IN a ioc
e;gn alliance. Perhaps they
are right. ANY treaty at ali
may be bad policy tur the Uni-
ted States. But that does not
make this treaty u1faif.
France is compelled to main
tain stupendous army TO over
awe German military ambition,
and the resulting financial bur-
den presses heavily on her
economic strength. She is for
ever on guard-and as Ger
many has a score to settle with
us as well as with her, this is
fortunate for ourselves. Here
is where France reciprocates.
Great Britain also. 1t is well
for us that England can pay
for a navy which will prevent
the Germans from sending war
ships to sea, and incidentally
20 cur own coasts.
If Britain and France can
pay the cost of eternal vigil
lance, we can hardly call the
treaty one-sided. Wilson and |
Lansing probably had a few of
these facts in mind when hey |
signed it.

And now that it has occurr-
ed, little official denunciation

little suspicious.
We can not prove that en-

caught in the act of winking.
And the whole thing suggests a
text for a sermon on the sub
ject of open covenants openly
arrived at"
And. if we will be honest
with ourselves, we must admit
that a very difficult question
mas been handled with very lit
tie acrimony or friction. Every

The allies did not clamor fol

The allies did not clamor for
it. They simply acquiesced.
To oppose the idea would have
been savage. The only reser-
walton which each nation made
was manifested in an unwill-
ingness to accept any condition
inimical to its own national
sovereignty and security.
The English were never
strong for it. They saw no
sense in opposing it, provided it
did them no harm. If it did
them any good, they would
welcome it. But it must not
affect their naval supremacy,
or the security of their empire.

thing was all right. Il was
hooray for the league. They
were even kind enough to wlite

The French said very much
the same thing. If they weie

the allies to entrap us into a
league against our interests. |
Our delegates in Paris were de-
handing the league. Many in
were clamoring for it.
1t is of our own making, or
rather we are responsible for
its having been made.
lnasmuch as the league was
literally forced upon the allies,
we can hardly object if they
want to coat the pill with
