In his opinion Stephens states
that this clause I'm the act was re-

opinion concludes:

This argument was halted by

asked that it be reopened. but the
request was denied.
Proof that the company IS con-

A short time ago the Panhandle
was a sparsely settled part of the
state, with some farming, and some
cattle raising.
At the magic voice OF oil it

Hardly a farmer who has not re-

A program of diversified agri-
