MARRY IN HASTE
BACK TO MOTHER
Repented Of Her Contract,
But Ashamed to Return
Home, Girl Goes to
West Texas

ENID, Okla.-Pansy Cochran, 16-
year old girl, who decided after a very
short courtship to elope with ]. l..
Hughes, an Oklahoma City electrician,
met with several difficulties. In the
first place, they were discovered by
one Of Ends police at the station and
were taken back to the girls mother,
Mrs. S. NJ. Cochran of 6S2 East
Oklahoma avenue. Here after some
argument the mothers consent was
won for an immediate marriage.
Then the couple started to Okla
homa City. Then she disappeared and
the police of many cities aided in the
search for her. Chief among those who
searched was the husband and n friend
Of his to whom he entrusted his wife
when he had TO return to Enid on
business. The mother was nearly fran
tic.
The young man who was TO escort
her back TO the home Of Hughes
parents told, it is alleged, that she
was handed a card by n man while
at the station after seeing her hus-
band off, but the girl. who was found
at Big Springs, Texas, tells a differ
ent story. Her mother says: "She did
not run off with any other man. She
found that his parents were not goot
to her and didn't approve of the mar
riage and, childlike, she didn't wan
to come home, so she started and hel
money lasted only little way pas

Speaking of the supply business, Mr..

Logic of Oil Industry
Substantiates Optimism

Regardless OF how conditions have
been, or how slow the recovery in
an effort TO regain normal is going to
be. the oil industry in all its various
phases is brighter in its possibilities
and occurrences than is any other in
dustry in the world, is the manner in
which B. V. Emery, Of Tulsa sup
ply speciality dealer, speaks Of the oil
game. Mr.. Emery substantiates his
statements in a most logical manner.
Conditions which tend TO retard profit
able growth OF the industry whether
they be inaccessibility to foreign mar
kets overproduotion, high freight rates,
or any other handicaps he says. are
always temporary setbacks, and those
who are able to tide over the slump
period will always profit later in n
manner which not only offsets their
losses but yields n nice income besides.
The fundamental principles underlying
the petroleum industry is that there Ia
