OIL MEN LEASE
TERRELL LANDS
Several Thousand Acres

The people, of Terrell county are
interested in efforts now being made
by certain oil prospectors to secure
land leases in various parts of the
county. D. B. Hill, of Bronwood,
was In Americas Saturday, and stat
ed that already leases on several
thousand acres of farm lands have
been secured.
The men engaged in buying these
leases will not tell who they are or
who they represent" Mr.. Hill said,
@but they are very active. 1t is re-
ported that they desire leases on
10000 acres or more before any
information will be given out"
1t has been reported several times
that oil indications have been seen
In different parts of Terrell, and
now that leases are being sought,
something more than casual interest
Is being exhibited.

Public Are Fools Says Ouija
King AS He Laughs Loudly
Simmons Makes Fortune
From Board He Has
No Faith In

CHICAGO, Aug. IA jolly little
fat man sits in rickety chair in a
dusty factory office and laughs so
heartily he shakes like a quivering
cone of jelly.
Mirth overwhelms him when you
mention the ouija board.
For the jolly chap is ]. NJ. SIM

He can afford to laugh. For the
people are buying the ouiia boards
he makes so fast that he's rolling in
money.
"The public are foolsp laughs the
"Ouija King"
They'll bite on anything" he
continues. "The public belief in the
ouija board is joke. We don't fos-
ter it. But the poor deluded fools
want the board and we're giving it
to them by the thousands"
The past year 100000 ouija boards
were sold by j. M. Simmons & Co.,
made in little second-foor factory
with 10 employees on Chicago's West
Side. Simmons said as many more
were sold by the Villa Fuld Com

Wonders As To Future.
If the man who makes the ouija
really thought the ouija had any mys-

and ask the ouija to tell him whether
the ouija craze is going to last
through the winter.
And-precisely quoting Mr.. SIM
mons:
~ amt such a fool as to waste
my time asking the ouija questions
about the craze. Gosh, though! I'd
like to know whether the fool pub
lies going to yell for the ouija next
winter. It's hard to get the three
ply lumber stock the boards are made
out of unless you order it long in
advance. l don't know whether to
order lumber or not"
Simmons probably will take al
chance. For he's moving into fac
tory four times as big as the old one.

TELLS Why Sd
PARTY FAILED
Progressive Liberals I'm
able to Swallow Radi-
Gals Program
BY OLSON GARDNER

WASHINGTON, August 14.-The
effort to launch a "third party" has
apparently failed. The "Farmer-La-
Dor Party is all right so far as it
goes; but it is not the new party as
hoped for by the Committee of For
Twilight and others.
The effort to have La Toilette lead
the Liberal" movement has also
failed.
The failure is about 100 per cent.
The radical voter has the Social
list party and Debs or Christensen to
vote for; and the reactionary voter
has the Republican-Democratic Gold
Dust Twins for his ballot. The in-be-
tween-ers, the Independents, the
Progressives, the Liberals, the For
ward Lookers-all these may go out
and bay the moon.
Or they may (and they doubtless
wilD stay at home on election day,
The efforts at amalgamatiOn at
Chicago failed because:
l The Labor Party, led by Fitz.
patrick, Buck and Bennett, did not
want to amalgamate with the Com
mittee of Forty-Eight or any other
class of voters who would seem to
change the character of the Labor
Party or modify its issues. At the
end of the 60-hour conference this
was stated frankly; but not at the
beginning of the conference.
2 The leaders of the Labor Party
refused to accept a platform which
would be acceptable to La Toilette
who was put forward by the Forty.
Fighters as the Harmony" candi.
date. There were fundamental
grounds of difference such as the
SEcapital levy tax" the nationals
cation of mines" and certain Social
istic planks which the Labor Party
refused to yield:
8 The merged" conventions ad'
opted a platform-the majority
platform which made the La Foil
cite candidacy impossible and practi-
cally read out of the Farmer-Labor
Party all who believed in the non
Socialistic program of the Forty
Fighters as announced at st. Louis
After the nomination of Farley
P. Christensen by the "Farmer-La,,
Dor" convention and the adoption OF
their guild socialism platform, the
Forty-Eighters-fully 80 per cent OF
then-returned to their hall IN the
Morrison Hotel and passed resolu'
ton saying that; =
"Whereas the effort to found 9
new party has not succeeded, be II
resolved that the Committee of For,
Twilight hold its organization anc
continue its efforts to start such
party"
Some harsh things have been sac
about the so-called "leaders" Of
"bosses" of the respective groups
which met in Chicago to try to star
the new party. These are unJustlh
ed. On the whole an excellent tempe'
was preserved throughout the nego
tiations, and ahe failure to agree
was due to fundamental causes, no
to personal rancor.
The same thing is true OF Senate
La Toilette. No one, familiar Wit
the facts, can feel the slightest crit
cism of the Wisconsin senator, wn
in the beginning announced that n
was ready to be the John G. Fremoon
of the ''new party" if way TO
doing so could be shown. The wa
has not opened and he had no chanc
to make the political sacrifice nee
essarv to found a new party.

back to making toys.
It's The Bunk, Says He.
Simmons says he doesn't foster
mystic belief in the ouija. Yet the
directions he puts out contain these
statements:
"Many scientists claim this
board does not answer questions from
an unknown power; that it's ANNA
ton flows from personal magnetism.
Spiritualists claim that invisible spir-
it's guide its movements, superior
intelligence ruling our future.
'If you fail to get results in play
ing the board, it is at no time the
fault of the board. 1t is merely that
the so-calIed psychic force is unde-
veloped in the operators. In that
case, simply ask some one who has
played a board before to operate it
with you, and you will undoubtedly
secure immediate results"
"Of course, that's all bunk" says
jolly Mr.. Simmons.

Housewife Carries SO

"The development of electric la
bor-saving machinery for the farm

for instance the matter OF pumping

''For all household purposes such
as drinking, cooking, washing, scrub

AZ gallons are pumped and carried

will mean that some one VIII nave

or over SO tons of water every year.
Furthermore, if a 3-gallon bucket Is
used it will mean IA trips to the

"The pumping and carrying OF wa
