 Budenny formerly was a private soldier. He is a short man, with an energetic appearance, and is usually seen in green uniform, with a blue cloth cap. During the recent maneu- vers he suddenly expressed desire to ride himself and, jumping upon horse, went through a number of the most difficult cavalry revolutions, the soldiers uproariously cheering him at the finish.
 Budenny made characteristic speech at the conference

 Our cavalry know well the req sons for calling the Genoa Confer ence. They know that our enemies have capitulated because for so long they refused to deal with us.

 The dance was held to raise the fu11 for the recently formed Rock well Mutual Benefit Association which includes ninety-eight per cent or the store employees. Since the soc1ety's formation four months ago, one or more benefits have been paid every week to those unable to attend to their store duties and these soon lowered the large treasury that the society had at its beginning.

Decrease Shown In Number Of Animals

Denver, May 5.-A steady decrease in the number of wild animals that roam the plains, mountains and for ests of Colorado is noted in a report made to the United States Forest Ser vice here by Assistant District Pores ter John Hatton.
 Despite the fact that many of the animals are protected by state game laws, elk are practically the only ones in the Colorado national forests that have shown an increase in the past year.
 Predatory beasts and eagles, not the hunters rifle. are responsible for the gradual wiping out of vast herds that once were found in the Centen- nia1 State. the report indicated.

 the stores composing it represent 11n-

 The popularity of tho Peoples Store has been due to it's inviting Interior and highly agreeable clerks This store caters to both men and women and it is an exceedingly sin1- pie thing for people desirous of being well-dressed to contract with this concern for such wearing apparel as they may need.
 MT Buckhalter in taking charge of the Peoples Store some time ago, stated This store must be what it's name implies-a store into which everyone can come and be well sat .sfled and I shall make it my object l to make the Peoples Store one of the | pleasantest reconections in a great 1 many Bridgeport homes.

 Coue's followers are many, but they do not know it. Every boer's coach, every producer of a big stage specta- every general is an auto-suggestist. M. CoueS method of curing is so sim pie! Whether the disease is angina pectoris strangulated hernia, house maids knee or a bad attack of the humps the cure is just the same. The process is:
 Take a piece of string and tie it in twenty knots. On getting to bed the patient must close his eyes, re- lax his muscles and adopt a com fortable posture Then he must re means of the knots on the string the general formula:
 Day by day,
 In every way,

 Better and better. ..Louder and Louder
 The words should be uttered loud CT and louder at each repetition fort. Only there must be no effort made to think what the patient is saying. for that only compFcates the cure. On the contrary, the mind must be allowed to wander at will.
 On awakening in the morning the patient must repeat the formula, and the sovereign rule again is to make no effort.

CRINER ANTICLTNE
DISCOVERY REVEALS
INTERESTING FACTS

An interesting fact in connection
with the finding Of oil in the Criner
anticline is that il is believed to be
the first time in the history Of south
ern Oklahoma oil exploration that
the crude has been uncovered where
the Pennsylvania formation crops out
on the surface. All other producing
fields in this portion of the state are
located in districts where the Permian
formation crops out. including fields
at Walters, Duncan, Robertson, Head
ton, Hewitt, Fox. Graham. Wheeler,
Loco. Milroy, vema, Lemore and
others.
Since the bringing in of the Amer
ada well, many geologists have been
led to believe that the Hewitt and
Healdton production comes from Glen
formation, which is in the Pennsyl-
vanian series Heretofore, there was
a great deal of conjecture as TO where
the production Of these two fields
came from. The latest opinion rela.
tive TO the Glen formation. Is based
on the fact that the dips on the sur
face OF the Brock territory are very
similar to the sub-surface. or dips in
the producing horizons of the Hewitt
field
Outside OF the southern Oklahoma
fields, most of the production in Ok
lahoma is yielded where the Pennsyl-
vanian formations appear, including
the large pools and fields of the Usage.

securing a drilling contract which was
started by II. Jacobus, of Tulsa, but
was abandoned at 1850 feet as dry
after missing the shallow pay sand
found at depths ranging between 1000
feet and 1900 feet in the Keystone
