That was some five years ago
and Radley has been paying
taxes on the unseen purchase
from So to $40 per year ever
since.
Just recently the Standard Oil
company struck an oil we'll on
property adjoining Radley's pur-
chase, which is gushing out
5000 barrels of oil per day; a
quarter of a mile further on an
other oil we'll was struck by the
company which offers up 500
barrels of oil per day.
1t was not long after these
gushers were struck before oil
promoters were hunting high
and wide for the man Radley
who owned the adjoining prop
erty.
Hank is Of the impression that
this $175 was certainly the hunk
of bread scattered on the waters
that brought back a whole wave
in return. He is not particu-
larly stuck on oil and prefers
trees, consequently is willing to
let the other fellow dig up the
oil at the price offered.
RadIey closed the deal Tuesday
night by wire with Dunbar &
Co., of Ell Paso, and was advised
that there was cold cash amount
ing to $12O, 900 in the First Ma
tional bank at Ell Paso waiting
the transfer Of the land. Coco

Not As Many Buffalo in
U. S. As in Pioneer Days

The state of Oklahoma is the
home of three of the nation S
greatest buffalo herds, including
one government herd in the
Wichita National Park in the
southwestern part of the state.
The other two are privately
owned lone on the ranch of
Col. Gordon Lille (Pawnee Bill),
near PaWnee, Okla, and the
other on the 101 Ranch, near
Ponca City. In all three herds
great success has been made in
buffalo raising and increasing
the herds.
Out of approximately 1000
buffalo in North America, 5000
are in the United States d
1000 of these are privately
owned. while there are over g.
500 in Canada. There are eight
government herds in the United
States, the largest of which is
that of $50 head in Yellowstone
Park. The first herd established
under government direction was
in the Wichita National Park,
Oklahoma. Pawnee Bill has
been successful also in crossing
the buffalo with the common
COW. resulting in a hybrid that
does not breed. This crossing
of the two has been followed
also on other ranches through
out the west. -Ex.

Flagstaff Lumbeuack's Kind Act
Brings Him a Fortune

There are many instances in
this life where a kind act to one
IN trouble is borrowed trouble
to the one doing the kindness,
but once in awhile a kind act
brings a golden reward.
Hank Radley, cook, lumber
Jack and man who did his best
even at his age to stay in the
army, was offered $1,000 per
acre for 12O acres Of land he ac-
CURED in Louisiana under pecu-
liar circumstances about five
years ago, for the sum of S175
hard earned dollars that he
never expected to see again.
About five years ago a man
came to Flagstaff with his wife
Tor his health. He happened to
belong to the Moose order and
thus became acquainted with
Radley. He had been sent here
for his health from Louisiana.
His wife was taken sick and he
wanted money to take them to
his wife's people in Nebraska
and offered the 12O acres of old
stump land he had purchased
sometime before, to Radley for
Sl75. Radley had never seen
the land or been in that part of
the country, but out of the good
ness Of his heart and with the
purpose of helping out a brother
Moose in distress, borrowed what
money he did not have and gave
him the money for the land.

Leave Ii to MOther

In family circles where father
refers to his wife as mother"
somehow things generally run
smoothly. And W h would
father do in these piping times
of high living costs if it were
not for her? Balance wheel,
saver, economizer and thrift
queen all wrapped into one.
Leave it to mother!
It looks as if the pay envelope
would not reach. Leave it to
mother. She knows how. By
skimping and pairing and prun-
ing, by cutting and basting and
trimming, there seems to be
plenty and to spare. Some meals
for a little! Such clothes for
the children, so neat and becom-
ing! And the rainy day fund
slowly but surely growing! No
one else would deny, sacrifice
and scheme for the good of the
whole family as she does and
we join heartily in the admoni-
ton to leave it to mother. "
She'll find way. Elk.
