u. T. Rexroat, founder of the town,
then strolled in and joined the group
to whom the colonel was telling his
story. II knew Mr.. ReXroat," ex-
claimed the colonel, after recognizing
the newcomer, since he was Il small
boy. When Rexroat was IA years
old and an orphan boy he left the
mountains Of Kentucky to go west
to seek his fortune. He was bare
foot boy at the time and chose the
west, because he figured that If he
would continue TO be barefoot, and
could not buy shoes, u sandy country
was the best. However, he had in
formed certain of his relatives, that
he was going to have more money
rived in the west. Well, IL was not
long before ReXroat made his fortune
out here. and when he went back to
kentucky to check up on q Writ,
he found that he had twice as many
relatives as before. After his return
from Kentucky, he brought me back

contentious. At the same time. il
can be recalled that during the years
of the war and for two years there
after, owing TO demand, the large oil
concerns paid high prices for crude
oil and period of great prosperity
in the producing business prevailed
During that time the big fellows reap
ed large profits. So did the little fell
lows. Things would have moved along
in that groove steadily had there been
no distractions in the way. But the
distractions were there. In all other
lines of business the readjustmen'
movement. carrying with ii radical
reductions in expenses, had been
leveling off the high places and filling
up the low ones. Commodites
bought at high rates were offered to
the buyers at forced-sale figures. Deal
ers were compelled TO absorb their
own losses. The public was enabled
to get the benefit of certain reduc-
tons, but at the same time the pub
lie had troubles Of its own. Its none
tary resources had been curtailed. 1t
could not get credit at the banks to
carry on enterprises needing such as
istance. Wages were cut in many
trades. Hundreds Of thousands OF
workers We're unemployed There was
no panic, but hard times" were i'm
pressively present.
All classes Of business activity were
affected more or less seriously and
no industry was able 10 escape ine-
vitable reactions. Some optimists in
the oil business had reached the con-
clusion that oil would be immune TO
the epidemic of lowering prices. Their
conclusion was incorrect. Oil was not
protected by any special dispensation.
Whether there is a law Of supply
and demand, or no such law. Ameri-
can business will have to mark time

perity Sensible men will realize all
this and assist in effecting the need
ed readjustments.
The big interests and the little ones
can accomplish much by pulling to-
gether and not in contrary directions.
