TREASURY SAVINGS CERTIFICATES

A report of Treasury Savings Certif-
icates sales received from the Treasury
Department by E. c. Kibbee, shows that
the Ninth District stands high in the
National sales.
Mr.. Kibbee said, "The comparative sales
figures show that during the month of
August people in the Ninth District in
vested $504,364 in Treasury Savings Ger
tifcates, which is an average per capita
of 10 cents. This per capita sale was
exceeded by but one District in the Coun-
try-the tenth, located at Kansas City.
The total Certificates sold in the Ninth
District for the first eight months of the
year covered by the report, amount to
$5791,056, an average per capita invest
ment of SLIP.
"Since January 1st, 1928, the American
people have invested approximately $780,
100000 in this Government security.
"The foregoing figures represent COM
paratively small purchases as the limit
any one person may invest in Treasury
Savings Certificates during a calendar
year is $4,1OO, this being the cost of Ger
tifcates which will in five years reach
a maturity value of $4,000.
can increasing number of people are
investing regularly in the SIS and $500
Certificates, costing $2O.5O and $500.
Treasury SAVINGS Certificates are an ideal
investment"
Inmates desiring to purchase Certificates
should notify their officer as to the amount
they wish to invest.

MISUNDERSTANDING

You're far away tonight, my dearie, dearie
The sunshine has been mocking me all
day;
I've strained my eyes til they are weary,
weary,
Longing to see you passing by this way;
Within my heart a pain is growing,
growing,
The truth insists that shall heed and
know
That further still you're ever going, going,
And oh, love you dearie, love you so!
The world is very cold, my dearie, dearie,
Outside the magic circle of your arms;
My heart is pleading to be CHEEKY CHEEKY,
Safe locked against your breast from all
alarms;
The tears persist tonight in falling fall
ing,
The breezes whimper of an unknown
And cross the silence 1 am calling,
calling
Come back to me, love you, love you

A SONNET

My love, how cold your hands tonight;
How still you lie! What thing is this
That chills my blood with sudden fright,
AS on your brow l plant kiss?
My love- your eyes have ceased to glow
l feel your pulse with bated breath
And curse the light for burning low.
But oh, my love; can this be Death?
How strange the clock throbs out tonight,
How like funeral march it sounds!
Like footsteps moved to sudden flight a
Where death trods on in endless rounds /;
Or fox starts up in sudden fright -
When night brings on the baying hounds.

ADVENTURES

He risked for much, and risking, knew
What failure meant.
His all into the game he threw,
And as it went,
He stood prepared to pay the cost
And not to whimper when he lost.
He knew defeat would sweep away
His ventured gold,
Knew he must face the winter day
And brave the cold -.
Falling he said: "The thing is done.
'Twould have been splendid, had l won. VI
Would you be safe, then never dare
For greater things
Quit not the beaten thoroughfare,
Nor try your wings,
But when the path of chance you choose,
Still play the man, although you lose.
This is the pledge men make with Fate:
"Here is our all
Either we'll stand among the great
Or broken, fall.
Splendid the goal we hope to gain;
But failing, we shall not complain"

AUTUMN'S MIRTH

'Tis all myth that Autumn grieves,
For, watch the rain among the leaves;
With silver fingers dimly seen
1t makes each leaf tambourine
And swings and leaps with elin mirth
To kiss the brow of mother earth;
Or, laughing mid the trembling grass
1t mods a greeting as you pass.
Oh! hear the rain amid the leaves;
'Tis all myth that Autumn grieves!
IT'S all myth that Autumn grieves,
For list the wind among the sheaves;
Far sweeter than the breath of May,
Or storied scents of old Cathay,
1t blends the perfumes rare and good
Of spicy pine and hickory wood.
And with voice in gayest chime,
1t prates of rifed mint and thyme.
Oh scent the wind among the sheaves,
'Tis all a myth that Autumn grieves!
'Tis all myth that Autumn grieves,
Behold the wondrous web she weaves
By viewless hands her thread is spun
Of evening vapors shyly won.
Across the grass from side to side
A myriad unseen shuttles glide
Throughout the night, till on the heigh
Aurora leads the laggard light.
Behold the wondrous web she weaves,
'Tis all myth that Autumn grieves!

MORE OIL STORAGE
Magnolia Lets Contract for Third
55,OOO.BarTeI Tank.

miranda City. Tex, Aug. 4.-The
Magnolia Petroleum Company has
given orders for the building OF an
other 55,000-barrel steel storage tank
on its property east Of Miranda City
The company has two OF these tanks
already completed and in use while
it is now completing third. With
the completion of this last tank 1t
will have four 55.000-barrel tanks.
Lately the Magnolia Petroleum
Company has entered the local field
with a pipe line to the Aviator pool
which is now under construction and
upon this line being placed in service
it will take all the oil it can buy out
Of the local territory. Its entry into
the buying of Miranda crude on a
large scale will have an effect on the
local field that will be problematical.
At present the Magnolia is not Of
fering as high a price for crude as
independents are paying and it will
remained TO be worked ont just what
effect this taking of oil will mean. Nj
rando crude is priced much below its
real value.

LESS OIL SHIPPED
Conditions in Industry Held Respons
ibIe for Decrease.

Miranda City, Tex, Aug. 4.-The
July shipments of oil out of Miranda
City amounted to 500 cars. This is
short of June by 1913 cars, but it does
in no way point to the amount which
could have been shipped if conditions
were normal and the tank cars had
been sent in for oil contracted for by
some of the big corporations which are
taking oil from the Texpata Pipe Line
Company.
Under the present conditions 300
cars of oil is a big record for monthly
shipment out of here. Almost every
barrel of available storage in the fields
is full now and the pipe lines are not
able to keep up should there be plenty
Of cars to take the oil.
With the return of normal condi-
tions in the oil industry the Miranda
fields will top many of the producin:
areas in Texas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas. Today there are many wells
here that have been pumped only par
Of the time and many wells have no
been pumped at all for the entir'
month. New wells coming in Deepen,
on storage and that is soon filled
Some producers are finishing up well
and not pumping at all awaiting (
