POOLING THE FARMER
OH Men Make Him Pay For Releas'
Ing Leases

Some Of the farmers who gave
oil leases on their land year or d
ago are now receiving releases from
the oil men who took the leases
The oil men send the formal release
together with the courteous letter in
which they tell the farmer that all
he has to do is to send or take 1t to
the court house and have It record
ed. But when he gets to the court
house he finds that by law a fee OF
IS cents is charged for this, and that
since all fees are turned In to the
county the officers can't remit the
fees, even II they want to. The oil
men who took the leases are suppos-
ed to pay for releasing them, but In
many cases pass the buck to- the

MARTIN SUGGESTS
DECREASE IN ACREAGE
Maysyille Tobacco Man In Statement
Says Foreign Demand for To.
bacc0 to Be Small.

The Georgetown (o) News-Demo-
crat says:
After giving a review of the sections
where heretofore low grades of to-
bacco grown in this country had gone
Mr.. Alec Martin stated to the News
Democrat that there existed there to-
day practically no demand at all. Mr..
Martin is here with Mr.. Grover Metz,
Of Rome, Adams county, looking after
tobacco purchased through the firm of
Ellis and Groppenbacher, of Mays
vile, for Liggett & Myers.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Martin was
engaged in the tobacco business here.
Later he was engaged in the tobacco
business at Ripley and is one Of the
best posted tobacco judges in this Sec
tion of the country. my opinion is
that we may not live to see the de-
mand in foreign countries for our low
grade tobacco as heavy as they once
were," says Mr. Martin. Because Of
this manufacturers and dealers are
loaded up with this tobacco, and as a
guess my advice would be that grow
ers raise only what they can give
careful attention in cultivation, and
not attempt to make it a money max
ing crop. Just crop which will bring
them in something additional in their
farming. The manufacturers want
only good tobacco, and this will be
used and sold in this country, because
the foreign demand for low grades is

REVIVAL SERVICES ARE
DRAWING TO A CLOSE
Special Eyangellsdc Services at the
Christian Church will Probably
Close With Sunday Evening.

The evangelistic services which be-
gan at the Christian church some
three weeks ago are now drawing TO
close. The services tonight and
Sunday morning and evening will
probably see their final conclusion.
Not In many years has this church
been so aroused and the fine attend
ance throughout all the period is a
good testimony as to the character of
these meetings. No sensational clap
trap or so-called professional evangel-
ism has entered in or been a part of
either the preaching or song service.
The pastor, John Mullen, has done all
the preaching and his sermons have
dealt with vital subjects in easily COM
pretended and vital terms. The real
strength Of Gods word lies in its sim
plioity and its easy application to the
problems of men and women of every
day life.
The call to Christian work and fell
lowship is world wide In its scope I'D
all embracing in character and the
preacher of today must emphasize
these facts If he gets a hearing. This
has been done in all these meetings
and all the sermons have made a
strong appeal to the intellectual and
moral forces as we'll as to the spirit
ual resources of the mind and heart.
Brother l.. A. Britton has very ably
conducted the singing and the congre-
CATION has entered most heartily into
this very important part of any revival
service, The results of the meeting so
far have been most happy, many hav-
ing come into the church. some by
confession and others by letter or
statement. The subject for this eve
ning's sermon is "The Aim and Plea
of the Disciples of Christ" and it goes
without saying that the subject will
be presented in thoroughly logical
and informative manner This eve
ming at 7:15. All are welcome.
