ANOTHER NEGRO YOUTH
MADE RICH AS CROESUS
1900 Barrel Oil Well Discovered on
His Land Brings Him $4,000
Every Day.

tStar News Service).
MUSKOGEE, Apr. "A new mil
lionaire Negro youth, Greek freed
man. who bids fair to surpass the
record of Sarah Rector for riches
has sprung into prominence by dis
covery of a 500 barrel well on his
allotment near Jennings, Okla, and
bright prospects for numerous more
wells of like production. His name
is Leonard ID. Ingram, he's IL years
old, and he lives with his mother
and step-father, Charles Jones, in
the north part of Muskogee.
Ingram owns 100 acres two and a
half miles southeast on Jennings,
Oklahoma. The land was north OF
the proven Cushing field and was
not considered a particularly good
oil prospect until about year ago
when production came in north Of
the allotment.
Gets 1900 Barrel Well.
On Monday, March IS, well was
brought in in the northeast corner
of his allotment with a production
of 500 barrels day, of high grade
oil. The oil is selling now at $4.0O
barrel, fifty cents above the posted
market price. The royalty on this
one well brings him an income of
$3.50 a day. Just TO the east OF his
property, as an offset TO this well,
is another well making 1900 barrels
day. Three other locations, off
.oI. tl,o Enn horraI wall have
been made and drilling is to start
soon.
On the southwest corner of his
property, well is down 400 feet
now, and three other wells are drill
ing on adjoining property, off-selt-
irg this hole One of the three IS
900 feet deep, another between 300
and 400 and the other just Spudded
in
The lease on Ingram's property
is held by the Prairie Oil and Gas
company, but three other companies
are interested in the offsets.
Four Companies Drilling.
The fact that four companies are
drilling at once on the southwest
corner, without waiting to see if the
other wells will prove producers,
is good evidence that the oil men
think there are excellent prospects
for big producers all over the lease
A few more wells like the 1900
4 barrel hole, and Ingram will be the
richest Greek freedman in Oklaho-
ma.
Margaret Ingram, sister of Leo
nard, owns 100 acres a mile and a
half south of her brothers land. and
il too, may prove to be valuable.
The boys property is under con-
troll of the county court of MuSko-
gee county, with his step-father,
Charley Jones as guardian.

BOYCOTT BIG WHITE

To boycott business is to refuse
TO patronize a business. An insult,
high prices, poor service, or low
wages paid to its employees, might
occasion a boycott. In fact, any
thing which displeases the patrons
Of business might cause them to
boycott it. Organized labor employs
it against employers who refuse to
grant its demands. The Chinese
have used it most effectively against
the Americans, the Japanese, the
British, all foreigners who seek to
rob them of their rich natural re-
sources, such as coal and iron.
1t is most powerful economic
weapon because it causes business
loss. 1t might result in completely
bankrupting business. It most
generally forces the business TO

NEW LONDON, Conn, April, a.
The "Commentator" of the Tele-
graph of this city has this to say
concerning the Race in a recent is
sue of that paper:
"Now the queer thing TO me is,
that the Negro after being able to
see quite clearly thus far, should
suddenly go blind. A good many
people have the notion that the black
man is sort of Simple Simon,
Shamcfully easy to trick and delude,
the ready victim of every faker who
plcaseS to make fool of him. He's
nothing of the kind. Did you ever
hear of a Negro buying gold brick
or a block of green goods?. | never
did. In fact, behind his easy going
apparent simplicity, Mr.. Johnsing is
liable to have slowed away about
as much native Shrewdness as most
folks of similar education. If his
mental processes are not so intricate
as those of some Cauasians they
are quite likely TO arrive at the same
destination by more direct and
less laborious route, If white man
succeeds in making monkey of a
Negro il is generally not because
the Negro doesn't know he is be-
ing made a monkey of but because
he would rather play monkey than
not play anything"
