fielier Buys Plum's Piedmont Oil
Elevator Interest Situation Promising
J. E. Heller, has bought J. B.
Plum's inteset in the Plum-Stad-
ler Grain Co., and on the first,
of the month, will assume charge
of the business. Mr. Plum and
family will move to Prague,
Okla., where Mr. Plum has bou-
ght an interest in a grain busi-
ness and will be associated with
Jesse Clift, formerly of this pla-
ce. We are glad to see Mr. Hel-
ler become one of our business
men, but are sorry to loose Mr.
Plum as he was a live and ener-
getic business man. Mr. Heller
was formerly a contractor here,
but when w a r was declared
he arranged his business and
enlisted in the navy and spent
several months in France. Mr.
Plum has sold his residence
property to Mr. Marriott and
Mr. and Mrs. Plum and daugh-
ters will leave for their new
home at Prague, Okla., sometime
the first of the month.
Two oil men from the north
passed thru here Tuesday to
investigate the oil situation in
and near Piedmont. Returning
thru here we had a little conver-
sation with them and they seem-
ed to lit' quite enthusiastic about
their holdings around Piedmont
They advise us that one outfit is
steadily drilling and are down a
good depth and that another rig
is being built and that material
is on the ground to construct
another rig. This new prospect-
ive field is attracting a great
deal of attention among oil men
and things point to a thorough
test being made there now.
A Billion Dollar
1 nsuranee Fund
The Federal Reserve Banking System may be
likened to a vast billion dollar mutual insurance fund
which we and 7,600 other banks maintain at all
times to give us the currency our depositors need
to stand back of us in time of financial stress and
to enable us to give better and §afer banking service
in many ways.
Every one of cur depositors, large or small, with-
out any additional cost, participates in the protection
and benfit of this great system,

Reduce Cotton Acreage
In view of the emergency of
the cotton situation for this
year, and at the sugge t:on < i
Governor Robertson, J. A. \\ hit-
hurst, president of the State
Board of Agriculture, has called
a convention to meet at Okla-
homa City today to consider
and advise ways and rfie^ns to
reduce the acreage of cotton in
Oklahoma. All the states have
taken actien on this question
but Oklahoma.
Mr. Whitehurst says; "With
the lame visible amount ot cot-
ton on hand, and a possibility of
a 16,000,000 bale crop, it would
not be impossible for cotton tu
sell as low as seven or eight cents
apound and low prices will pro-
duce the very thing that we can-
not afford as an after-war and
reconstructive period."

Builders Ciass Go
Opossum Hunting
On Wednesday evening of last
week several car loads of the
young folks of the Builders class
of the Union Sunday school
went opossum hunting on Cam
pbell creek with Dr. Pollock's
hounds. Before starting after
the dogs an hour was spent at
the facinating work of roasting
weiners. The hunt was not very
exciting and most of the young
i folks were driven home rather
early in the evening by a light
shower of rain. However, the
more seasoned hunters remained
until a late hour and report the
successful trailing, treeing and
catching of a singe marsupial
mammal, the American opossum.
Wm. Seyller was an Oklahoma
City visitor the first of the week.
