INDIAN GIRL IS RICH
Oil Sends Her From Poverty to
Wealth in Two Months.
But $2,000-a-Day Income Has Not
Turned Her Head-Ambition Is to
Be Farmerette and Drive
a Tractor

Muskogee, Okla.-"Heres one little
| Indian girl who Is not going to be
singed by the bright lights nor the
| Great White Way" said Exile Fife
nineteen-year-old Creek, when told
that her allotment in Creek county
had produced It's fourth gusher and
lifted her income from royalties tC
near $1,000 a day.
Exie's production now averages
abont 1000 barrels Of crude daily
How much Exile has become worth
since the first producer was brought
In on her land two months ago she
herself does not know. Only the off,
Gals Of the Indian agency, where her
money Is handled, know, and they are
not telling 1t for publication.
Exile received the news Of her fourth
gusher just as the carpenters were
driving In the last nails Of her modest
new f1ve-room bungalow that Uncle
Sam decided to build for her down at
Fame In Mcintosh county, when oil
royalties began to pour in to Exie's
credit. The house harmonizes with
Exies simplicity.
I'm the fall / am going to study mu-
sic and will possibly go to a finishing
school," said Exile. Il am also going
to send my brother to some big col
lege. l want him to be somebody. l
am going to continue to make Fame
my home, no matter how many mil
lions Of dollars l make out of oil. l
have lived here since childhood and
riches will never tempt me to move. l
am always going to stay a country
girl.
mo, l don't care to travel; at least
not now. Some time later on I prob
ably will take trip, but I assure you
that it's not going to be a money
spending orgy.
What do l want to be? 1 want to
be farmerette, as you city folks say.
l want about five hundred or a thou
sand acres, stocked with sleek, pure
bred cattle, and waving fields of corn
and grain. Then l want a flock of puff
fng tractors, with this little girl be-
hind the biggest one of them all.
That's the life for me-"
Seven more wells are drilling and
oil men say the allotment should be
good for about forty wells Indian
agency officials, even in these days Of
low-priced crude, forecast an income
Of $4,000 a day for Exile within the
very near future.
And Exile is about as remarkable as
her luck Although she was a pauper
two months ago, her good fortune has
made little change in her. She is ut
terly devoid Of extravaganza. True,
she wears better clothes and has big
red-wheeled automobile to carry her
from Fame to Muskogee to get her
monthly check from the agency, but
that's about all.

The public endorsement of a local

Sailors Will, Engraved
on Disk, Is Probated

LOndOn.-Strange as the story
of any document told In fiction
Is that of a will which has just
been admitted to probate and
is now filed in Somerset House.
1t is the last will and tesla
ment" Of sailor, William
Skinner, who lost his life when
his ship, the interchangeable, was
sunk in the battle of Jutland.
1t is in the form of the ordinary
Identification disk. On one side,
in the usual deeply punched let
tiers, appears the name, number,
rating and religion of the man
to whom it had been issued.
On the other side the disk ap-
pears at first sight to be just a
circular piece Of smooth,
polished brass. But when
Viewed at certain angle there
can be seen about rs infinitely
engraved words. With micro
scope they can be plainly read.
They constitute SINNERS will
by which he beQueaths every
thing to his wife. The disk
had been recovered from the sea
with SINNERS body and on be-
ing cleaned revealed its secret.
