OF major importance in motor car
companies announcements this year is
the statement from Detroit that a new
Hudson Super-Six is ready for the
market. The first Super.Six in 1916
created exceptional interest because of
its distinctive design. Since that time
the factory has been constantly re-
filming and improving the product.
Now they offer the New Hudson, with
many important changes. The patent
ed Super-Six motor principles, Of
course. have been retained.
The most important changes, in the
new Hudson Super-Six model, from
the owners viewpoint, have been eff
fected in the drivers compartment.
This compartment has been entirely re-
designed and the construction changes
in connection with steering wheel, ped
al and control lever action give opera
ton without effort'-a particular ap.
peal to women drivers.
\ construction change in the steer.

AS Connecting S-inch Gas
Line to Lone Star.

With possibilities OF being extended
in all directions, and the limits Of
the pool in no manner defined, the oil
area Of the Robertson field of Gar
vim county is still most active in OPP
Grafton and presenting one OF the
most interesting spots in Oklahoma
This fur, the field has been proven
for a distance Of two and one-half
miles east and west and one mile
north and south. Development ha
been carried in an apparently east
and west direction, but ii is general
ly believed by oil men who have
watched operation there closely that
the trend OF production will be along
Salt Creek, in L northwest and south
east direction. This belief appears to
be strengthened by reference 10
'c~reekology,' the term which has
sprung into use since observation
has shown that the oil fields Of south
ern Oklahoma are following creeks
northwest and southeast. This has
been true in the Hewitt field and
the Hewitt southeast extension. Also,

all the gassers which have been
brought in in the Garvin field are on
elevations. most of them being about

gasser east Of it. The oil wells have
been brought in 10 date in the bottoms
along the creek banks.

stimulated by the laying by the Mag
nolia Petroleum Company of a six
inch oil line from Healdton 10 the
Robertson field, TO replace the four
inch line now in use. Pipe for the new
line has been strung along the route
to the Garvin county line, and the
work is about half completed.
The eight. inch gas line which the
Magnolia has laid 10 the Robertson
field is now being connected at Fox
with the lines Of the Lone Star Gas
Company. 1t had originally been be-
lievcd that the Magnolia would run
the gas for its own use, but the new
connections now being made prove
otherwise. The laying of the gas
line has furnished great relief and
brought renewed effort to test out the
country to operators there. Hereto
fore all the gassers brought in were
shut in Immediately after reaching
the sand due to lack of Transports
ton facilities out Of the field. The dis
covery well Of the area, Magnolia
Mauldin gasser No. /, which was
brought in almost two years ago, has
been shut in for almost that length
of time.

committee of five women went with
the teacher to prepare the room and
its contents for fumigation.
Perhaps the prying women did not
succeed in killing the germs, if they
concealed themselves, as it was sus-
pected, in the books corners, as ply
sicians tell US that when the little
enemies get into book they evade
the most vigorous attack that can be
made by the deadliest germ-killers.
But even if these elusive foes did not
get killed on Friday they certainly
got an awful scare.
The interest of the county health
