Oklahoma Man Presents City with Fields for All
 Kinds of Sports.

|. PONCA CITY, Okla, Jan. 6.-(By Inc Associated Press)-The magic of black gold that spurts from the oil fields of Oklahoma and Texas, which has made millionaires overnight, is seen perhaps in few places more clearly than in this active little city of some 1000 persons.
 Ponca City boasts the distinction of having more Iaiborers who are golf fans than any other city in the world-the result of an oil million aires riches which have enabled him to realize an ambition to make others happy. The man is Ernest w. Marland, head of, the oil com pany that bears his name, and the golf playing Iaborers are his em- ployees who, with the general pub lie, are invited to use his private course, recognized as one of the best and most beautiful in the south west. It is no unusual sight to see a foursome of bankers teeing off behind group of men in jumpers and overalls.
 Marland's golf course is part of his estate. Deciding to make Ponca City his permanent home in 1916, Marland selected a cornfield on the city's outskirts as the desired site. Today the southern part of the field has been transformed into the most elaborate garden in the southwest, and by the side of the garden is his palatal residence. reputed 10 have | cost approximately one million dol lars.
 At the opposite end of the estate i is the golf course. This, too. has been landscaped and beautified. A small stream flows through the course and has been damned to form several small lakes. Clumps of trees and shrubs combine beauty with utility in providing hazards. 1 Two years ago Mir Marland an nounced that he ould build an ath- letic park, like his golf course and his garden, should be open to the public Twenty acres adjoining the Marland refining plant were pur- chased and work commenced. The park was opened last spring. It is one of the most modern in the state containing playing fields for foot ball and baseball, running tracks, tennis courts and open sward to be used as desired. The concrete grand. stand seats 1,S00 and is equipped with club rooms. showers and other modern conveniences.
 The Des Moines club of the West. ern League will use the park for training next spring.
 Mir. Marland's newest enterprise Of this nature is the establishment, or game preserve. He has pur- chased 300 acres adjoining the city on the north and is directing large force of men in beautifying the area and otherwise preparing it for use

 The father punished the child for disobedience Immediately Mieky rushed sobbing 10 Mother Patsy. He snuggled his little head against her shoulder. She patted and com f5.ted.
 Did Daddy abooze my baby?"
 Of course Mieky understood that Mother Patsy did not approve of father's punishment Most certainly the good effect was lost. Miekey's thoughts strung together probably ran Something like this.
 T don't have to mind my daddy. What if he does punish me? Us most worf it if Mother Patsy pets me like this"
 The child had defied and disobeged his father. The determined words and punishment were merited Then tle wise thing for Mother Patsy to have done was to cooperate with flther. Instead Of that she made Nficky feel that daddy instead of himself, was in the wrong. Parents shduld understand that if a child is to be properly disciplined there must be cooperation

SWEDISH TRAINS ARE NOW TO HAVE
 ROLLER BEARINGS
---

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 6--The use in Sweden of roller bearings for the wheels of railroad cars, passenger and freight, has been inaugurated by the Issuance of definite orders to the State Railways What promises to be a boon ito railroads and tiay- elers the world over, and the pos sible development of manufactur- ing industry of large proportions. is foreseen.
 The system of roller bearings as now perfected is the result of years of experiment. and research in Swe- den and elsewhere. The solution of the problem has been hastened be- cause of tine growing need of find ing some way to reduce the expense of railroad operation. A saving of about h per cent in coal, together with a reduction of personnel and q conservation of equipment, will be- come feasible by the installation of roller bearings Travellers will bene- fit because the elimination of fric- ton means more smoothness and less noise in the running of trains. It is thought also that passengers and freight rates may be lowered as result of the new economy in oper- ation.
 The new bearings are barrel shaped and roll freely between the shaft and the runway. thus being q cross between ball bearings and the old-fashioned roller bearings. The Swedish company which manufac- lures these bearings reports that the Pennsylvania railroad has been mak- ing experiments for some time with q view ito their adoption.
