LEONARD WOOD, JR.,
 IN OIL BUSINESS

That the oil industry of the southwest is claiming the attention of men in all
 walks of life is evidenced by the vast number of prominent men who have come | to Texas in the last few months to in-
 vestigate the possibilities of the oil game.
 The most recent of those to see it's pos abilities and to actively engage in it is i Capt. Leonard Wood, Jr.. son of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, who is organizing the Craven Oil and Refining Company of Kakehamon, with a capitalization of B. 500.0OO
 Soon after leaving the army, in which
 he. was attached to the general staff of the Eighty-first division, young Wood cast about for some line in which to become engaged that offered vast possibilities for expansion. His searches came to an end when he heard about the oil industry of the southwest, and it was not long until he was associated with Jake Hamon| in number of his enterprises in Oklahoma and Texas.
 Under this practical taskmaster it was not long until Wood decided to enter the oil game on his own account, and tbe first of his ventures is the Craven Oil and Refining Company, which young Wood confidently expects to make one of the real contenders for supremacy among the independent oil interests.
 Associated with Wood, who is vice president of the company, are number of well-known business men, among them Captain J. M. Craven of Baltimore, Md, who was in the adjutant generals depart ment at Camp Meade during the war and who is president of the new company; Lawson Magruder, a well-known attor- ney, is secretary and treasurer, and George McGregor with many years ex- perience in the Texas and Oklahoma oil fields, is assistant secretary.
 At present the company owns 48 acres of splendidly located acreage, which has every indication of furnishing production A great part of this acreage is in proven territory, and when drilled is almost cer- tain to yield some good wells
 On site in the heart of the West Texas fields at Jakehamon, the Craven Oil and Refining Company will construct the first unit of big refinerys The initial plans of 5000 barrels capacity, which will be in- creased as the requirements of the com pany demand 1t.

sQUARE DEAL FoR SOUTH

Under federal operation, the southern states have had a square deal Ports, harbors, terminals and shipping lines have been stimulated from the Rio Grande to Baltimore" but return to the pref erential treatment of New York will kill southern ports, southern shipping, south ern industry
 Water transportation can never be de- veIoped with the railroads in private hands.
 "A matter of vital interest" the letter concludes, " is the enlistiug of the em- ployees so that they will work harmon iousy willingly and efficiently. It is a colossal waste to exclude from railway operation the contribution of two mil lion men with lifelong. experience in the railway industry.
 "Believing that the provisions for a subsidy and for the utilization of pub lie funds by private individuals is a be- trayaI of the public interest and is sub versive of the traditions of the country; believing that the pending bills are an in vitation to waste, beieving that the worke and the farmer will be made to pay tri- bute to financial exploitation and that the people will be called upon to bear an unnecessary load measured by millions of dollars, that win be saved by govern ment control; believing that the return of the railroads at this time is as clam itous proposal as could be conceived believing in all these things, we feel just flied in protesting with all the emphasis at our command against the passage of the pending railroad bill.
