Last Tuesday Rev. w. S. Bowden,

monthly meeting of Baraboo Valley
Ministerial association at Baraboo,
where he read a paper on "The Re-
surrection of Christ; Our Hope of
Future Life" The paper was we'll re-
ceived and discussed at considerable
length. 1t is needless to say that all
did not fully agree with the position
taken by the author of the paper. but
sweet Christian spirit was much in
evidence in the discussion.
The gist of the paper was that
there is a union so close between
Christ and those who trust in Him
that their destiny can be read in
His. Here is a paragraph from the
paper: 1--WE have in the risen Christ
the 'first-fruits' The resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead assures
us that all who are united to Christ
by a living faith shall live forever,
as we have His own inviolable pro-
mise: Because | live. We shall live
also Ono. 14:19). All true believers
are members of the body (church)
of which Christ is the Head. The
Head will not be gIoriffed and the
body left in death. If the grave could
not hold Him, it cannot hold us. He
arose; we must share in His resur-
rection. i am He that liveth, and was
dead; and, behold, | am alive forev-
ermOre, Amen; and have the keys of
hades and OF death (Rev. 1:1S. Now.
since He holds the keys to these do
mains, those keys fit the locks for
which they were made, and that being
so. He can open the house of death
with them and let the captives go free
and this He will surely do"
The Aurora College orchestra of
Aurora, ILL.,, gave an interesting pro-

Independent o. Dc G.. Declares
200 Per Cent Stock UiUidend

OKMULGEE. oct. 7.--Offlccrs OF
the Independent OIL & Gas Co. Of
Okmulgee have announced the dec
lRration OF 200 per cent stock
dividend This Is the third dividend
declared this year. the other two
having been 25 per cent In cash
each. A meeting OF stockholders has
been called for October 20 TO vote
on increasing the capital stock from
100000 to S10.000,O0O, II being
the reported plan TO place the stock
thereafter on n 10 per cent annual
basis.
This company. which in the early
summer OF 1921, was merely a
struggling small company. got its
real start In the Lyons-Quinn pool.
The Independent at first owned a
half interest In the rich l1-1t lease.
After the first well came in, the
president OF the Independent. I'D
Moore. got the owners OF the other
half interest TO put n price on Il.
Believing that some friends OF his
would purchase IL at the price spec
flied, he said that he would take Il.
When he went to these friends. they
had changed their minds Having
obligated himself to purchase the
interest, he scurried around and
finally obtained sufficient money TO
make the first payment--he was
certain II was bargain. And IL was
not many weeks before the property
had a production of 1900 barrels
a day. The purchased half intores,
paid out In an almost unbelieyably
short time.
When T. r. Bill!ngslea and J
Garfield Buell. opened up the dcep
sand production in 15-li-s, Il was
not long before Moore had purchased
for his company the Billingslea halt
interest for a reported consideration
CT 100000 This was when there
was only one well on that 80 acres
Only n few weeks ago the Inde-
pendent purchased the Buell. hall
interest In the lease, which now 1:
practically drilled up, for something
like 100000. At that time the prop.
