INDIAN AFFAIRS COMMIT
TEE HOLDS HEARING ON
OSAGE LEASE EXTENSION

Washington. Jan. o.-Oil lease hold
ers on Usage Indian lands in Okla
homa appeared today before the sem
ate Indian affairs committee TO urge
passage of the owen bill extending
the leases until 1856. First witnesses
were !. j. Skea and David b. Con-
nelly Of Tulsa, whose leases have
ten years TO run under present law
The committee was told that Gov.
ernor Robertson of Oklahoma would
not appear as oklahoma was satisfied
as 10 the proposed lease extension.
7. J. Leahy, representing the Usage
tribe, declared that contention OF
purchasers OF Usage lands that they
had bought the lands in good faith
believing that they were purchasing
mineral rights" We're unfounded as
the original legislation provided spe-
officially that mineral rights should
remain the property of the tribe
until April :, 1881, and that this peri
cd might be extended. He said that
only two per cent of the Indians OBJ
jected to the extension and that many
purchasers Of land favored the bill.

BOYHOOD STORIES
OF FAMOUS MEN
Samuel Johnson

The servant had not arrived to
take young Samuel home from
school. so the boy set out by hum
self.
Most boys and girls go to school
by themselves, but Sam was so
near-sighted that he was always
accompanied by some one. ,He had
10 stoop down and look at dog
kennel, SO he wouldn't fall ovet it
His teacher was afraid that some
harm might come TO the boy, SO
she followed him at some distance.
Sam knew that she was behind him
and he felt that his manhood was
insulted, so he turned around and
flew at her in a rage, beating her
with all the strength he had
Samuel Johnson always had an
independent spirit, and was ever
impetuous OF action. He became
the greatest figure Of the eight
eenth century. He was noted
most particularly for his ability to
converse brilliantly, although his
writings are noteworthy and are
still widely read.

MANY OPERATIONS IN HEWITT
LESSEN DRILLING ACTIVITY

That the operators are giving heed
TO the advice of experienced oil men
Of this vicinity is verified by the fact
that many of the leading companies
in Hewitt are shutting down opera
lions daily, and state that activities
on n full scale will not be resumed
until market conditions become bet
Ter. Such action appears 10 be the
most feasible at the present time,
for it will keep the price of crude
from falling, and not cause a greater
overflow TO be put on the market.
Refiners would not be benefited at
the present time by any reduction in
crude, for they have no market for
refined products, and it would be
useless for them TO buy, If they were
able TO purchase crude at a lower
price. So ii can readily be seen that
continued increase in production would
be OF benefit TO none, and would be
bringing TO the surface oil which
could be brought into the market at
more opportune time.

ALL GASOLINE RECORDS
BROKEN IN NOVEMBER

Washington, Jan. 6.--The report of
refinery statistics compiled by the
Bureau OF Mines for the month Of
October shows that the refiners OF
the United States manufactured ap-
proXimately i66 200 900 gallons OF gaso-
line, the largest monthly output on
record. II is important TO note, says
the report, that while the monthly
output was the largest on record,
the daily average FOR October OF l5.-
$4,000 gallons was approximately
100000 gallons less than for Scptom-
ber
On october 81 the gasoline In stor-
age at the rcfineries was $4,000 600
gallons more than on September so,
which indicates that the usual low
point in gasoline stocks. occurring
each fall has been reached. and that
during the succeeding winter months,
when climatic conditions curtail the
Use OF gasoline consuming vehicles
the refiners viii have chance TO re-
plenish their stocks. Therefore. in
creased refinery stocks of gasoline
during the coming winter may be ex-
pected.
The retiners had an output OF 2l3.-
100000 gallons OF kerosene. which
is daily average Of $500 600 gal
Ions, as compared To q daily average
OF 6.6OO,OO0 gallons for September.
1920. During October, 1919. the daily
average was 100000 gallons. Kero.

Suggestion to Readers

While reading book-story or
text--it is often very helpful to
make notes in the margins OF the
pages as you go along, to serve as
references after the book has been
read. Thus. when you wish to To-
cate any minor detail concerning =
story, or wish to hastily review the
plot, all you need do is refer to the
marginal notes.

Melville's challenge, that Parker
High is organizing an ioe-skating
team"

Lem not looking up from his alge-
bra book. 81 saw a notice on the
bulletin board today that all the fel-
lows who want position on the
team should come out tomorrow
afternoon for the try-outs."
well, you'll be there, | suppose,
eh?'
"Naw--I guess wouldn't have
any chance--they didn't ask me
anyhow. Nav | guess / won't"
Lem closed his book and laid down
his pencil.
They didn't ask your Why, for
goodness sake, son, you don't ex-

uon on silver plate, do your
You've got to go out and show 'em
what you can do. As for having
no chance can't see why you
haven't. You're not a bad skater
are you" Mr., Gibbons tone was
encouraging.
And finally it developed that
when the Parker High School
coach called his twenty-five ice
skating candidates together Lemuel
Gibbons was one OF the group.
Lem stood on the edge of the
crowd not feeling as tho he should
mix in (bashfulness agsin), 1t had
taken all his nerve to get this far
and he had to take strong hold
on himself to keep from breaking
away from the tryouts altogether
But he stuck it out, TO use a
common expression.
And when the day was over and
Lem had returned home from the
tryouts down on the river, he an
nounced that he had made the
team.
Good for you, Lem" praised
his dad Which made Lemuel
Gibbons feel joyful and proud, and
ne almost forgot that he had ever
hated Parker High School.

Army of Unemployed
Smaller Every Day
Number of Workers Rapidly Increas-
ing in Shops Mills and Other Lines.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Business agencies
in Atlanta come forward today with
what they say are some cheering
facts" in that reports from twenty
eight representative cities throughout
the country show there is an apprecia-
bic gain in the number of workers.
Increased employment was shown
in railway, repair shops, automotive
plants, textile mills and in the lumber,
leather, tobacco, paper and printing
industries.
Particularly marked was the impetus
to building operations. Scarcely re-
gion but reported considerable if not
extensive construction, with a pros
pect of larger developments in the
month ahead.
All this is heartening, according to
Atlanta business men, and the more
so, they say, since it comes in the mid
summer lull Conditions, they show,
do not warrant excessive enthusiasm
but they support sober confidence in
the approaching future.
The Atlanta postoffice and its CEN
trail branch in the Peachtree arcade,
while not giving out official figures,
show that previous records are being
broken in postal receipts--a striking
evidence of increased business growth
in the state capital.
