NeIU Resolutions

That many New Years resolutions
already are being observed is the
belief of Chas. Dayton, desk sergeant
at the city police station.
To support this belief, Desk Ser
geant Dayton points to the police
court record which shows a decided
lull covering the past two weeks. The
citys department since December
1G has been near the perfect mark
according to the docket, which gives
that day as the date of filing the
last municipal court case. Only one
case was filed on that day, this
complaint being one wherein speed
ing was charged.

MATTER IN FRONT RANK
AS ORDERS CANCELLED
Loss by American Firms Of Millions
Of Dollars Worth Of Business
Gets Business interests
Stirred Up
By United Press.

By United Press,
Marion Dec. 2S.- restoration
of trade with Russia is being urged
on Presidentelect Harding by many
of influential adviers and the mat
ter is being seriously considered as
one of the proposed policies Of the
incoming administration,
The reported cancellation by soviet
Russia of millions of dollars worth
of contracts with American firms,
throws the Russian question into the
front rank of the many pro5.1ms
that are facing Mr. Harding as the
next chief executive of the land.
The report. that big Russian ion
tracts with American firms have
been cancelled, came with the an
nouncement yesterday of a commun'-
cation from the Moscow government
to Ludwig c. "A. X. Martens, soviet
Ambassador" to he United States,
OF dering that Official not to pro-
test against the order for his depor-
tation and asking him to return with
his family and staff to Russia.
After expressing the regret that
the present American, administra-
ton seemed to be hostile to the
Russian cause, after having express
ed friendship" the communication
says in part
Even now we are certain the
masses of the American people will
in due time bring about such under
standing. AT the present moment,
however, we are confronted with the
cold fact that America, who re-
peatedly avowed her goodwill to-
ward the people of Russia and with
whom Russia for many reasons,
was eager to develop mutually advan-
tageous cooperation in the economic
field, makes such cooperation impos-
sible. This is done at time when
most other nations of the world
even such as openly conducted war
against us and wasted no time on
sentimental assurances of friendship,
are entering into the economic rela-
tions with Russia.
Martens asserted that continued
refusal to resume trade relations
with Russia will nullify a $6,OO0,000,-
900 order for American goods, al
legged to have been brought to this
country by Washington p. Wander
lip of Los Angeles, who recently an
nounced that he had procured 400,-
600 square-mile concession in Siberia
'or a California syndicate.
There are about fifteen Russians Is
Martens staff here, and he has ap-
piled for permission for them and
his family to accompany him home.

That oil operators of Cement and

tory around Laverty and particularly
to the west of that village, is indi-
Gated by persistent rumors that at
the location of the first we'll ever
drilled in what is now the Cement

About fifteen years ago, number
of Chickasha men, associated with
DR.. Ganaway then of this city.
leased over 100000 acres of land Gov
ering what is now the Cement pool
plus territory around Laverty. A
we'll was drilled on the Clark farm
in the northwest of section 1863.
At a depth of about 1850 feet, the
finances of the company were ex-
hausted and they were forced to
stop work. 1t is understood that
copy of the log of this old well has
been located and that it indicates
exceedingly favorable formation.

today that George Gorton, head Of

ity that Vance Brothers of Tulsa,

Morgan, who owns a farm in that
territory is authority for the state
ment that the Vance Brothers have
secured a block of acreage with
contract to drill in a given period of
time in that territory. The time, Mr.
Morgan declares would make it i'm
perative that they start operations

would mean that the development of
