SERUM IS
GIVEN TO
235 HERE
First "Shot" of Anti-Typhoid
Serum Administered Here
Last Night in State-
wide Campaign.
Yesterday evening between the
hours of I! ::'( and 8::i() a total of 2:J.5
Chickasha people were given the first
".shot" of anti-typhoid .serum in the
campaign being waged by Dr. A. H.
Lewis st:ite commissioner of .health
against typhoid fever over the state.
Dr. Lewis himiself was here and su-
perintended the giving of the "sluts."
He was assisted by Drs. Downey
Liverniore Cook Dawson Ambrister-
and Berry.
One week from today those taking
the "shots" will report back to the
hospital at the same hours between
i'r.'M) and 8:30 and receive the second
"shot." The third will be given a
week from that date and all is done
free of charge.
"We have been greatly handicap-
ped in the work because of the short-
ago of serum' said Glen Williams
who accompanies Dr. Lewis in ills
trips to various points In the stale
during the campaign. "The situation
is getting much better now however
as we are getting about 2000 pack-
ages of the serum a day now and
hope to be able to supply the demand.
"The success of this serum has
been proved by its work among the
American soldiers and sailors during
the recent war. The records show
that of the hundreds of thousands of
men inoculated with this serum only
about 50 died in the United States of
typhoid. This disease has been prob-
ably the greatest single ailment the
United States wrmy officials have
had to fight. In the Spanish-American
war more men died of fever
than were killed by Spanish bullets."
Dr. Lewis and his assistants go to
Lawton today.

FERRIS IN
FAVOR OF
LAND BILL
Congressman Believes Soldiers
Should Be Given Opportunity
t oOwn Their Own Home ;
Easy Plan
WILL OFFER THREE
AMENDMENTS TO ACT
Thinks Should Include Town
Properly and Let Soldiers
Buy Land in Own State;
Fight Living Cost.
Three important issues will go to
bat in congress this month declared
Scott Ferris congressman from this
district who was in the city recently
These issues are: the reduction of
l the cofit of living the matter of pass
ing needed railroad legislation and
action on the Mondell soldiers' land
bill now pending before congress.
Congressman Ferris averred that
the unrest caused by the high cost of
living is growing over the entire
country and that immediate action on
the part of congress is necessary. He
said that investigations of profiteer-
ing would be made.
"I hope to secure some needed
railroad legislation"- asserted Con-
gresman Ferris. "I favor the return
of the railroads to the owners as. soon
as arrangements can be made for
their return."
Mr. Ferris will offer three amend
men'ts to the Mondell soldiers land
bill which authorizes first: the sec-
retary of the interior to purchase
large tracts of land in the several
stales where it may bo procurable;
second employ former soldiers al liv-.
ing wages to reduce the tracts to a
state of cultivation and third sub-
divide (lie tracts and sell them to
soldiers at actual cost allowing them
forty years to pay for them with In-
terest at 4 per cent. It is intended un-
der this plan to build houses on the
land and make them habitable before
selling them to the soldiers.
The following amendments to the
Mondell bill will he ofered by Mr.
Ferris:
First through the federal farm loan
bank let vsoldiers buy an individual
farm in his own community and in
his own state as distinguished from
the soldier colony plan.
Second Federal aid for soldiers
who desire to buy homes in towns
as well as in the rural communities.
These loans will be for 40 years at
4 per cent interest.
Third That every soldier honor-
ably discharged from the army of the
United States who applies to the sec-
retary of the interior and asserts that
he is without a home and that ho de-
sires to acquire a home and that lie
believes he can acquire a home if
the government will advance him one
thousands dollars; if he further as-
serts that he can pay the balance
and will live in the home for at
least five years the government will
advance him the amount designated.
If the soldier lives in this borne for
at least five years and pays the bal-
ance as h will np-ro n r Kf
he fan m
thousand dollars becomes a bonus to
the soldier and fie will not be re-
quired to repay the government.

"As far as I know t here is being
no strike vote taken at the Rock
island shops here" was the titate
mcnt made this morning by George
Hinds coppersmith and member of

union officials here had received or-
ders front the national headitu.il tei's

shopmen employed by the Rock In-
land should strike for a higher wage
and certain back pay. Mr. Hinds de-
nied this and .said that he knew noth-
ing of such orders being received
here.
Mr. Hinds stated that there .had

vision of the Rock Island. Shawnee

dle division. Mr. Hinds expressed hit'

Preliminary arrangements are being
made to increase li'.ie capacity of the

pany 50 per cent O. L. Bingham
manager of the plant stated this
morning.
It is proposed Mr. Bingham says
to increase the daliy capacity of the.
plant to seventy-five tons. The pres-
ent output is 5(1 tc.MS.
Five months will be required says
Mr. Bingham to mike the improve-
ments and enlarge the capacity of the
plant. Additional machinery will be

essitate the enlargement of the com-
pany's building located in the Frisco
iddition.
Manager Bingham points out that
during the summer months the plant
Is in operation day and night this be
ing necessary to supply the fast grow-
ing demand. "Indications are that
the company will be unable to supply
the increased demand during . the
next six weeks. We have been run-
ning at full capaci'v for some time
and at times we -have experienced dif-
ficulty in supplying the demand"
aid Mr. Bingham this morning.

EVENTS IN
OIL FIELD

Gladstone Hill and McKimiey
Activities Set Excitement
Anew; Means Much to
Future Work.
NEW GASSER TO BE
DEEPENED FOR OIL
Gladstone Flows Stronger; Hill
Shoots; Gorton No. 2 Cements
Casing and Is Changing
Tools.
The events of the past few days
have meant more to the Cement side
of the field than anything that has
'happened since the Gorton gasser
nix-re than a year ago proved that
thece was production east of Cement
or since the bringing in of the Calla
Belle proved that there is oil as well
as gas in the field.
Theso events started with the
bringing In of the Gladstone No. 1
I.'ig Whip allotment in the .se-sw of
3-5-9 which was followed promptly
by the blowing in of tho Hill well In
the se-se of lili-C-O which well was
'thought to he a practical duster and

n ey Oil and Drilling company landed
a 15000000 foot gasser Surbeck farm

Gladstone Getting Stronger.
Tho Gladstone well Is getting
stronger as the process of cleaning
continues. Tuesday morning the well
broke loose and during the day It
flowed five times "through the eighl
inch the fluid going over the top of
a 112 foot derrick and oiling down an
adjoining cotton field.
Work on the well is practically fin-
ished. They are construct ing tankage

bly better.
Hill Shoots Again.
The Hill we.' was mot content with
one day's jerformance. It is contin-
uing to shoot mud slush and .oil
from the hole from time to time. A
slug of mud and gumbo that has been
pressed into a sort of projectile was
thrown from the well by the gas
re..;sure. striking the crown pl'ale
and tearing it loose. There is oil in
considerable quantities evident lull
whether I hey can make a producer
out of the well yet remains to be
seen because of the condition of the
hole.
They can at least save the gas
however and it is possible that they
can w;ik it into an oil producer.
The presence of oil in the hole serves
to help prove a. wide territory.
McKinney to Continue.
At the McKinney well they will
go on down for the oil sand that II
is believed will be found around SO
feet deeper. The gas will be saved
however as there ts dire need of it in
th field to supply the wells that will
result from the recent developments.
This gas will lc Biadenheadud.

Works on Message.
By United Press.
Washington Aug. (i. President
Wilson began work this morning on
his nies'sago which he will read -before
congress in a few days and in
which he will outline a program to
reduce the cost of living.
The message it is understood will
ask for a new law that will enable
the government to better fight the
food profiteers hoarders of food and
others who -are directly contributing
I.) high prices.
The president is expected to rec-
ommend the regulation of old str-r-age
companies to prevent their hold-
ing food for higher prices. Regula-
tions governing the transportation of
food will also he touched upon. The
proposal to reduce the amaunt of pa-
pi r money in cireulatk n i.i n..t ex-
pected to get much attention in the
message. Cabinet members are ivvt
able to agree that this Is a practical
method of lowering prices on com-
modities. The cabinet members als-.i fallal
'! agree on tho proposal to reviva
the food administration although Its
'machinery would be u ;ed to the full-
est extent to present the facts con
cerning the food hoarding and price-
boosting. Several senators including Senator
Capper of Kansas favor an excess
profit tax to force the profiteers to
turn all over a reasonable profit into
the federal treasury.
