BIDS FOR LEASES
Spirited Auction for Tracts
in Northern Oklahoma Re-
calls Boom Days.
BY JOHN JAMESON,
Associated Press Staff Writer.


TULSA, Okla. September 25.-Osage
County. in Northern Oklahoma, where
fabulous fortunes were made for oper-
ators and Indians alike in years gone
by, remains one Of the active "hot
spots" Of the midcontinent oil world.
Rival companies yesterday bid $812,-
875 for leases on 10 tracts in q spirited
auction that brought memories Of a
decade ago, when the sky was the
limit.
Kewanee OIL & Gas Co. paid $342, 900
for a single 16o-acre tract, the largest
lease bonus offered in five years Gypsy
Oil Co. (Gulf OIL Corp. unit paid
$153,0o0 for an adjoining quarter
section.
Kewanee has been one of the more
active firms in recent lease sales and
paid 1912 900 for similar tract earlier
this year. That price established a
five-year record at the time
The all-time high was 81, ,999, 900 for
100 acres. paid about 1924. Several
times has $1,500,0 900 or more been paid.
Extension Of the South Burbank pool
by several good wells recently has
brought about the fight for leases to
the south Of the old Burbank pool,
once one of the States leading pro-
ducing sections.
Field activity in the district has
quickened, with IS wells in the county
last week.
The week also brought an improve
ment in the refinery market after q
brief period Of softness.
In the Chicago area jobbers were
back in the market again after prices
frmed when surplus stock was cleaned
up. At Chicago third-grade gasoline
was steady at ~ cents a gallon.
Regular was 5l2a%.
Prices continued strong in Okla
homa and Texas as refinery produc-
ton was held at a level to meet the
market demand.

} scene, where are you? They
can't shoot quills from a run
ming horse or from behind hill
locks, and I doubt if there is
a good comic in the bunch.
The Government had better dis
card "Porcupine Control in the
Western States" and take the
production loss. The antibirth-
control forces probably will
put stop to it, anyway.
I would recommend to ex-
hibitors that they concentrate
on why Save the Ek?" Here
is a timely subject, with a good
women's angle, and plenty of
laughs. Imagine a situation in
which lot of elk are all being
saved and somebody comes
along and asks why!
The expression on the elk's
face alone would bring down
the house. Can you picture
Charles Butterworth with a
pair of antlers on upside
down trying to pass himself
off as an elk in order to be
saved, and then finding out
that it had been decided not
to save elk after all.
OF course, the Government
will have it's troubles at first,
what with the present uprising
of the actors and the demands
of the various writing guilds,
but it will not have to worry
about distribution. Whatever
the Government wants distrib-
uted, gets distributed. Look at

HESITATED
All these valuable salts are
shipped to Haifa on the Medi-
terranean, then to various world
markets.
The supply, it is estimated,
will meet world demand for
1000 years.
Meanwhile, the streams flow
ing into the Dead Sea will be
delivering annually 10000 tons
of new salt.
Until the scientific attitude
prevailed, men hesitated to
challenge the superstitions Of
the centuries. Countless times
man and beast had met death
in the Dead Sea. It took cour.
age to place dependence on
theory.
Yet science, having acquired
the courage born of knowledge,
had. declared that the theory
was sound.
Upon this assurance the Dead
Sea was transformed from a
fear-ridden place into one which
provides not Onlv riches but
health.

hiram Percy Maxim at places, is
nine miles wide and stretches it's
sinister length Al miles. It re-
ceives the waters Of the River
Jordan, which in turn brings
down the waters of the Sea Of
Galilee.
After twelve years rule by
the English, this place of death
has become a bonanza Of
wealth and a health resort. Its
level is 1900 feet below that
Of the nearby Mediterranean.
The air pressure is nearly
a pound higher per square
inch than at sea level. This
allows 6 per cent more oxygen
for breathing.
SALINE WATERS
There is no fog. The air is
dry, clean and pure. The saline
waters, when people bathe in
them, stimulate and energize.
The streams which empty
into the Dead Sea flow through
lands rich in alkali deposits.
Since water runs in and never
runs out, evaporation is the
only escape. This evaporation
merely removes water.
Streams annually bring in
10000 tons of salt which re-
main permanently. For count
less centuries, the Dead Sea,
has been accumulating these
various salts.
Soon after the English, dur
ing the World War, assumed
control of Palestine, they cast
appraising eyes upon this
strange body of water.
Science, smiling at both ira
dition and superstition, ana
lyzed the ingredients. It
found huge quantities of vari-
Gus salts for which there was
a steady demand.
The English, finding condi-
tionS ideal for their purpose,
built a great evaporating plant.
Nature did most of the work.
All day the sun blazed, and
both day and night, dry winds
blew. Thousands of acres of
evaporating basins were built.
From the depths of the Dead
Sea where the alkilinity was
greatest, brine was pumped,
and discharged into high
basin. Upon evaporation of
the water, the first salt to
precipitate was sodium chic
ride, common salt.

Abusing a critic does not prove
his criticism unjust.
You may be the sort who at
tacks the good sense and gen.
eral soundness in reasoning and
wisdom of those who differ with
you in your opinions.
You say of your critic that
he is 'silly" or that his deduc-
tions are Impractical"
You are vehement in your de-
nunciations of his opinions.
You feel free to express to
him the fact that you cannot
understand why he is so il.
logical.
Yet you have been surprised
very often that others have been
directly opposed to your views
and opinions.
Notwithstanding the majority
against you, you still consider
your opinions as nearly in
fallible.
Because others have differed
with you so often should make
you think seriously about your
self and whether your convic.
tions are really so well founded.
Perhaps your ideas are
slightly unbalanced.

that the movie public is in for
a veritable feat of good clean
fun.
There will probably have to
be quite a lot Of retakes made
after the previews, and possibly
a change of titles. You can't
get people into a theater to see
a picture called Beavers at
Home" or "Porcupine Control
in the Western States" "Why
Save the Elk?" is a fairly pro-
vocative title as it stands. Why,
indeed?
Beavers at Home" might
turn out to be a Mormon pic
ture, but I am afraid not. It
sounds more like one of those
nice, quiet little stories in which
the big laugh comes when
Father Beaver puts on an apron
and tries to cook, or a beaver
from the city comes out to
the farm and tries to milk a
COW. The chances are, also,
that there will be a series of
cloSeupS showing beavers at
work on a dam, provided the
decency forces don't object to
the word.
I see no bright spot in "Por.

billed as a western" but that
won't fool anybody with that
title. Porcupines are not spec
tacular animals. They are too

hundred, three-I was praying,
actually praying, for just one
hour more. But somewhere,
somehow, that prayer was
sidetracked. For now it was
Bobby. Three rooms away, I
knew it was Bobby. There
was only one howl like that
within a mile, and it belonged
to said Robert S. Jones.
Bobby, it developed, beyond
yells that would have done
justice to a Hollywood mob
scene, had tried to push q
furniture van out of his way.
Or kick up street. Or bite
off an offending telephone post.
Or something.
Whatever the cause, Master
Jones had lost a slight portion
of his nose and three freckleS
as consequence. And was
now, as was easily apparent to
the whole world, in the Last
Throes. Aided by the sympa-
thetic uproar of at least seven
small boys, all extremely dirty,
excited and full of conVersa-
ton.
It took a brief three minutes
to apply clean water and mer.
curochrome-but a large twenty,
plus several molasses cookies,
to remove Messrs, Robert and
Audience. So noW-at laSt-The
Story!
WEAVING
Once more, it seemed, I was
1aboring under delusions. For
now, in rapid succession, came
the Man to Fix the Drain Pipe,
the Cop with the Tickets for the
Policemen's Ball, the gardener
with the new birch tree, a neigh.
Dor to get those clothes for the
Smith baby, and Helen, whom
I'd promised to help with her
club paper.

Did do it? Oh, yes, I al
ways do it. But no editor on
earth would print the language
which accompanied that last
frantic squirt.
After which I sat down to
have a nice, long, sticky Wallow
in self-pity. Those millions OF
steps! Those endless Interrupt
tions-dashing here, leaping
there, grabbing this, showing
that-Td spent my whole life
like that. Other women spent
their whole life like that. What
was the use of it all? Such a
senSeless, unfair waste
Or was it?
Suddenly, as though someone
actually answered, I saw a pic
ture of that endless activity
saw it for the first time as a
whole.
Those countless gestures
which I had so often resented
not one had been wasted. EACH
ONE HAD GONE TOWARD
MAKING THE PATTERN OF
A HOME. And, from that home,
life would go on and on!
