Jerry TRAVIS out
With NelU Song, Is
Assured Success

J. Holmes Travis, better known to
Chickasha people as Jerry" has
again broken into the ranks Of com
posers with song which promises
to add much to the fame, as well
as the pocketbook of the local musi-
clan.
The song, "The Fathers Planting"
has just been published in its first
edition. The words are by Elizabeth
Hayward Gardner. While reading a
magazine, Mr.. Travis found the
poem. 1t struck him so forcibly
that he sat about composing music
to fit it. After completing his task,
Mr.. Travis obtained permission of
the author of the poem, a Massa-
chusetts woman, to use the words.
Shortly thereafter, publication was
arranged for and Mr.. Travis has
just received the first consignment.
Previous to publication, the song,
in manuscript form, was sung in
Chickasha several times by Miss
Mabel Butler, scoring decided hit
on every. rendition. Local critics
pronounce the song as exactly what
it should be and predict long and
lucrative run" for the piece.

half million barrels of oil.
This morning the blaze was still
burning furiously. Great steam
boilers have been moved up as close
as possible to the burning tanks and
are playing streams Of live steam
on the fire.
A small artificial lake caused by
the heavy rains recently, over which
a film of oil has settled and which
is blazing furicusly, menaced sew

POLITICAL VIEW
STIRRING DEMOS
Wilson's Speech and Letter Bring
Hope 10 Party In Search for
Leader, but Friends Warn
Sick Man Unavailable.
By LAWRENCE MARTIN.
United pross Siaff Correanondont

Washington. Nov. Woodrow
Wilson's momcntnry return to poll
ties. IN his Armistlce day speech and
his letter TO Senator Caraway OF Ar
kansas. has stirred the democratic
ranks almost as deeply as the vic.
tory in Tuesdays election.
The election revived tagging
hopes and made discouraged demo.
Gratis feel they had something TO live
for But when they sat down to con-
slider their situation the day after.
they found themselves legderless, be.
cause they had multitude OF
leaders.
When Wilson proved strong enough
physically to make his Armistice
day speech and at the same time
showed himself keenly interested In
the future course and fortunes OF the
party, as soon in his letter. many
Democrats saw solution Of the
party's greatest problem.
With Wilson as the leader, other
pretentions to leadership would
vanish. most democrats believed,
and while there would be disgruntle-
ment. the great bulk of the party
would undoubtedly follow the former
chief.
But those who expect Mr.. Wilson
to be able to resume leadership. or
who read into his speech or his letter
intention to try, have misread the
missives, the former presidents
closest friends warned today.
Mr.. Wilson is still an invalid and
always will be, his friends fear. The
utmost he can do without danger
Gus strain upon his weakened body
is what he did Armistice day-make
brief speech now and then, and
write letters, they say.
That his guidance and counsel will
be available during the next two
years, if his health continues as
good as it now is, there is no doubt.
The letter to Caraway should be con-
strued, Mr. Wilson's intimates said,
as an appeal and a warning to demo-
Gratis.
It was an appeal to them to clear
their minds and hearts of all fac
tional bitterness and to unite for the
good Of the party in 1924. 1t was
a warning that if they did not, they
would fail.
His speech, which referred less
directly to the election, was in a
broader way, reaffirmation to the
country of his unchanging belief
that the principles embodied in the
League Of Nations will triumph.
