regarding Representative Ferris re-

on every one of the five votes he
was paired against the measure.
The statement is concluded with
the following: In justice to Mr.
Ferris it should be stated that an
examination of his record reveals
the fact that during the many years
he has been in congress he has voted
with labor on practically every mei-
sure, which could be regarded as
test.
His friends on the Oklahoma del

Esch Cumnlins bill and that they
knew he was opposed TO the measure

ternity here that it will not be long
until Healdton crude oil will be
placed on the same price basis. 1t
is known that the oil produced in
Cotton and Stephens counties is
somewhat of the same grade as that
produced in Healdton.
The present price of Healdton
crude is $2.75 and, though it is the
only pool in the state that has been
classed lower than Mid-coDtinent oil,
1t seems only fair that it should be
brought into its own and bring the
higher price. AT this time premiums
are being paid for it in the field.
Just how long it will be before the
producing companies are willing to
pay $3.50 for Healdton crue is not
known but it can only be a question
OF a short time and then il will hold
its own with other fields and climb
to perhaps $500 or higher before the
