line transportation. There are rumors
current in the field that the Magnolia
Petroleum Company is contemplating
the construction of q line but thus far
the rumor is unconfirned. The Mag.
nolia people have purchased tract
OF IFS acres in the area for the pur.
pose Of constructing O tank farm for
the storage of the crude. The tanks
are now en- route to the location. II is
very likely that the installation Of the
tanks by the Magnolia people will
stimulate TO a great extent the bring.
ing in Of wells in the Mexia district
and more drilling will be carried on.
Judge Davis is very enthusiastic over
the prospects in the Mexia territory
and believes that It will be developed
into one OF the biggest pools in this
section Of the country. Drilling in the
district is now being carried on IL
miles north and eight miles south Of
Mexia. and the proven area, states
the judge, is now six and one half
miles long and one half mile wide.
AS soon as an offset now drilling
TO the Davis.Smith acreage Is brought
in the local men will commence drilling
operations. However It is not expected
that q well will be started before 80
days.

PERSHING AND LABOR
LEADER CLASH OVER
WHO WON THE WAR

Washington, Sept. :. - General
Pershing and Samuel Gempers had
tilt last night at a dinner given as
the conclusion Of the exercises here
celebrating Lafayette-Marne day At
least official Washington regards IT
as 4 clash over the question Of wheth.
er labor won the war.
Mr.. Gompers had spoken on the
after-dinner program and while he
made no claim that labor won the
war ne did tell OF the record Of the
American Federation Of Labor during
the war and declared that previous to
the entry of the United States its
sympathy was with the cause Of the
allies
General Pershing, however, appar.
emily regarded Mr. Gompers remarks
as a claim that labor had won the
war. Some OF those who heard his
remarks quote him as having said
substantially:
The policies Of this republic are
not determined by labor unions or By
any other organizations, but by the
concensus Of opinion Of its patriotic
citizens Of whatever affiliations.
Il want to say that every Anne
rican is patriot whether ne belengg
TO some labor organization OF is Just
an ordinary citizen and that It isn't
question Of labor unions; it isn't
question of whether we belong 10
some association or not.
1t is 4 question Of whether we
are loyal citizens OF the United
States. am here to say TO you that
the members OF the labor unions
weren't the only ones who won the
war. II was the citizens who in
herited their patriotism from their
! forefathers who came across in the
Mayflower and helped determine and
decide the independence Of America
as well as those that adopted Ameri.
can institutions as their own 1t
seems to be about time for US TO rise
up and say that America shall be
ruled and governed by American citi-
zens and not by organizations which
have thrown selfish purposes TO
serve"
The incident, however did not de-
velop into a debate and ended with
General Pershing's speech.

Ez%hship of Ardmore and brought out
in a most appreciable manner the

Statement made by G. W. Strnwn,
prominent oil operator Of this city.
Mr.. Strawn states that the nom
partisan manner In which those pres

conditions back 10 the petroleum In
dustry was most fitting TO men OF
the type Of those who compose the
local oil fraternity. Nothing will aid
the present situation TO greater de.
gree" stated Mr.. Strawn, than un'
|ity in thought and teamwork in ac-
ton"
In speaking OF the present situa'
ton, Mr.. Strawn stated that In his
belief, a rise In market before the
next six months may prove disas-
trous and act as a boomerang TO the
industry. He points out that higher
quotations will tend 10 mislead the
hastily renewed drilling, thereby caus
ling q flood Of oil on the market
which will make the present unbal
anced condition as regards consump'
ton and production greater thar
ever. In his opinion, It will require
! at least six months longer before O
sufficient decrease in production will
have been obtained TO bring consump
ton on an equal basis with the pro
iuction. Should oil take several rises
before that time. states Mr.. Strawn
and with the production greater thar

prove 20 be greater than the rises
and thus bring the price of the crud,
