the main shaft.
The Lockhart shaft below the
2OO-foot level and lateral workings
below this point were found in
such condition that attempts to
reopen the shaft were abandoned
and the drift east toward the Lock-

the 375-foot level of the main
shaft. This drift and work per-
formed above the 160-foot level

STOCKS FIRM TO Strong;
SUBSTANTIAL GAINS

NEW YORK, December 3.-Signs of
renewed public interest were mani
tested by various issues at the open
ing of today's stock market.
Gains of 1 to points were made
by rails. steels. coppers; oils, ship
pings, equipments and specialties.
General Motors was again the most
conspicuous feature at an advance of
points.
Aside from Delaware and Hudson,
which showed renewed weakness. the
market seemed disposed to disregard
the coal strike situation and further
decentralization in the foreign ex-
change market
Prices forged steadily ahead on the
light trading of the morning, the
scarcity of offerings contributing to
the further advance.
Motors, oils, shippings ana coppers
comprised the chief features of
strength. Tobacco, food and leather
issues joined the movement later with
American Wooden, Baldwin Locomotive,
Worthington Pump and Crucible Steel.
United States Steel at a substantial
fractional gain was at its highest
price of the week and Delaware ana
Hudson rallied on the improvement
shown by other rails.
The per cent opening rate for
call loans impaired additional strength
to the list at noon.

ENGLISH EXCHANGE DOWN
TO.LOWEST IN HISTORY

NEW YORK, December 3.-English
exchange fell to the lowest level in his
tory today when demand sterling was
quoted at s3.s9A, which is 3k cents be-
low yesterdays close. The normal rate
is S4S7
Rates on French exchange also de-
veloped new low records, franc checks
being quoted at 1O.17 for the Ameri-
can dollar, or less than half their
pre-war value Lire checks were quot
ed at 1877 for the dollar as compared
with a normal rate of about five to
the dollar, while German marks. quot
ed at 90 and "a cents each before the
war, dropped today to 2.25 cents.
Sterling exchange later receded to
3SsA, francs to 1927 and lire to
1853.
May Go Lower.
LONDON. December 3.--The break
in American exchange to sass, while
considered serious from trade
viewpoint. is due to the same condi-
tions previously prevaiIing-the huge
Indebtedness of England to the
United States and the large amount
of cotton still to come from that
country.
No official action has been taken to
meet the situation and in market cir
cles the opinion is expressed that tho
rate will go still lower. Today's de-
cline unsettled continental exchange,
which moved against this country.

MISGUIDED YOUTHS
PULL OFF WILD WEST
STUNT SUNDAY EVE

Sunday night, about $3.50, people along
West Main street in the vicinity of the
Randol hotel, were startled by several
pistol shots fired in rapid succession.
The shots caused wild scramble of
those who were on the streets, some
going toward the sound of the fusilade
TO see what the matter was all about
while others departed, hastily, away
from there"
1t was learned that two young men,
occupying a speeding car, were just
celebrating" u little with no apparent
intentional harm-just letting off lit
tie steam.
However, Chief Of Police Chancellor
states he cannot see the joke and is lay
ing for the two young men to return
to the city for an interview with them.
Chief Chancellor said the boys names
are Watkins and Parker and that he
desires to see them very much. In fact
the chief alleges he longs to see them
with an all-consuming yearnng. A
search for them this morning revealed
that they are temporarily out of the
city, but are expected back in a short
time. Upon their return, it is alleged.
a warm reception" will be given them
by the police department.

at the fair grounds packing the county

The fair just closed was a very sue

for the 1920 event, and hope before
that time to have everything arranged
to have a Southern Oklahoma Fair, IN
connection with the Carter county eA-
hibits.
The necessity for larger buildings
was practically demonstrated this sea
son. The present structures were large
enough when the association was ilrst
formed, but are entirely too small, ana
inadequate at present and the associa-

substantial additions erected another

NEW YORK CHANGERS
SAY LABOR RATE IS
HIGH COST PRODUCER

Albany, y. Y. Sept. 15.-Officials of
ing 5000 farmers, in a statement is.
sued here today placing responsibility
for the high cost of living upon labor,
declared that IAN economic adjustment
must be made if the world is to be fed
and agriculture preserved" The in.
dictment of all workers except those en-.
gagged in agricultural pursuits is made
by Sherman j. Powell and w. NJ. Giles
master and secretary, respectively, of
the grange, who allege that strikes
have been made an important factor in
raising the price of food, clothing and
shelter
The first factor in n happy life is
three meals every day" says the state
ment. "The next is adequate clothing
and housing to keep the body warm.
The war has only fastened what every
thinking agriculturalist has seen for
years was surely coming, Rural work
ers have not received the support and
encouragement which the urban work
ers so easily obtained in the form of
better schools, roads, churches, houses
shorter hours and higher wages for
work under more favorable conditions
This had the result Of steadily drawing
from the country its population to an
alarming degree. Now, instead of go
ing into q study of our situation and
developing a remedy, our laboring
brothers of the city purpose to remedy
our trouble by arbitrary measures with.
out any real knowledge Of the cost of
producing the necessities of life.
No class of Americans with red
blood in their veins will stand being
told they must labor long hours at in
adequate pay in order that another class
may have shorter hours and higher
wages. Even the faithful farmer. who
has always produced sufficient food for
all, feels he has about reached the limit
and that no laboring man of the city
should find fault if he applies the SAINT
rule that his city brother has taught
him.
why is it that over half our farms
have mortgages on them, and that two
thirds are worked by renters? When :
class of men demand a higher wage al
though their labor does not earn it, som,
one else must pay, and they become dis
honest profiteers.
I'VE here challenge the city labore
to cost accounting that all the worl,
may see who earns his wage. Let ther,
he an authoritative cost accounting o
far mproducts and a wage scale 70
labor the base of which shall be it
earning power.
When wheat was 81 q bushel on
hushel paid for a days work. Wheat
by government fiat, is now $2.26 u bush
el and it now requires from two to thre
bushels TO pay labor for one days work
Again, when wool was 80 cents pounC
allowing four pounds for suit c
clothes at 500, thirteen days labor q
$l.50 per day paid for suit. Toda
wool is G5 cents u pound, four pound
bringing $2.60. the amount received b
the farmer. The same suit of clothn
is now $40 and the laborer can obtai
a suit by eight days of labor at S. pc
day. These comparisons will hold goo
with every farm product.
