CEMENT is SHOUTING TO
US"


Under the foregoing caption,
the Daily Oklahonan, il 4 lead
ing editorial. announces the arriy-
al OF Cement as u real oil field
and draws the conclusion that
Oklahoma City Should bestl her
self to the end that her business
interests may benefit from the
new developments That the Ok.
laiioIna S information is colTect
and its suggestion 10 the business
n4cn Of that city is wise, is not
open to question. Incidentally,
the Daily Express has been say
ing the same thing to the people
of Chickasha for more than two

forty miles nearer 10 Chickasaa

is shouting to Chickasha and

ton of our hopes If becoming a
much larger and better town. IT

from us, it will be nobody'S fault !
but our own, resulting merely |

ness connected with the new oil
field or whether it shall go else
where. a first class road from |
Chickasha to Cement will be one
Of the principal factors i'll answer
ing this question.
The actual developments in the
Cement field are well set forth
BY The Oklahoman as follows:

vclopment work Cement, in Cad

If one well were drilled on
each five acres within the proven
