national board composed of union
labor officials and vesting in it the
entire responsibility for strikes in the
building trade industry was the sugges-
tion offered by Presdent Donlin, of
30 the building trades branch of the Am
42 ' erican Pederaton of Labor. "The whole
20 j nation,'' said Donlin in his annual re-
! port, "is tired of strikes and lockouts
88 ! a 'l (tisgusted with institutions that
22 make such strikes possible. The only
17 J way to minimize thorn is to minimize
1 such authority as can render strikes
i lockout. Those responsible for strikes
in cities are always in the minority."
Donlin also suggested a nation-wide
campaign to promote home building,
urged the exercise of greater authority
over locals by international unions and
favored building tra lea workers join-
ing forces with other basic units of
the bulding industry, in an organiza-
tion created under the supervision of
some governmental department.

Searching for Potash in Western Part
of Oklahoma
The Oklahoma Geological Survey in
cooperation with the U. S. Geological
Survey, searching for potash salts
the Permian redbeds of Western Okla
homa. The geological an J geo-chemi-
cal conditions are favorable to the ex
istence of potash deposits la this
gion, and these facts, together with
"showings" of this valuable mineral
which are continually being reported
from the redbeds of Texas, should
stimulate interest in making a definite
search for ]>otasli salts.
The best means for prospecting for
potash is in connection with drilling
operations. In order to bring about
definite investigatons the eooj>e ration
of oil companies drillers, lease holders
and land owners iR urged. Potash of
ten occurs in connection with common
salt, and often associated with anhv-
Irite and gypsum. A careful examina
tion of all cuttings from wellls that
yield any material of importance
this connection should be searched ff r
potash.
Any material consisting of cttttings or
water from wells in the western part
of the state where conditions are fav-
orable for the occurence of potash
should be sent to the Oklahoma Gee
logical Survey, Norman, Oklahoiu;
Attention A. C. Shead, Chemist. All
such material will be examined in the
labratories of either the Oklahoma Ge-
ological Survey or the IT. S. Geologi-
al Survey and a report made to the
sender. It is necessary that all such
examinations be made in the labratory
as there are no "rough field tests'
for potash that will give reliable re
suits.
It is very essential that all material
sent in for examination give the legal
description of the land on which it
?curs and the depth ai which the ma-
terial was found.
It may be noted that for a hundi d
years the Germans threw potash away.
Definite cooperation may assist in
finding Oklahoma's supply in the near
future. The proper examination and
care in the drilling of wells in ti:is
section of the state may bring greater
wealth to the shite than the finding
of oil in these Ureas.

BULLETIN DISCREDITS STICK
MEANS OF LOCATING OIL
The United States Geological Survey
has issued a voluminous bulletin on the
"doodlebug" or the crooked stick, .is
a means of locating oil deposits. The
claim that a Y shaiped stick carried in
verted, will turn over when it is
brought to a point over an oil deposit,
where a successful well might be dug,
is asserted to be a myth. This, how
ever, will not settle the matter Many
will still stick by the stick.

Why Hard Times
The politicians are to blame. Let us
agE#c. They ought to have done better
than they have done. They ought to be
doing better than they are now 4mng
in Congress and all down the line.
The war played the mischief. Let us
agree to that also. Wholesale destruc-
tion cannot be carried on by concen-
trated brains and brawn of the entire
world for four years without requiring
a lonj time to recover from the dam
age.
The economic chaos in Europe re-
acts upon our industrial system. There
wc are right again. The time has pass-
ed when any nation can live unto it-
si If. We shall suffer until some sort
of industrial and fiancial order is re
Htored iif Europe.
All this is true, and it is up to each
of us to do all he can as a citizen and
otherwise to correct the evil conditions
which cause so much distress. But these
are the remote reasons for hard times.
Are they not causes which lie closer
by, and over which we can exercise a
more direct and determined controlf
A few of the communities of our
state have suffered only slightly from
hard times. Why? Because everybody
was at work all the time, and there
was something for everybody to do.
Productive, useful labor will knock out
hard times. We cannot get basanas
and coffee unless the folks in Central
and South America keep on the job,
and the shipping companies do their
part But we have not suffered such a
serious lack of things produced nt a
distance, as we have those which might
have been produced right at hand. We
carry too many eggs in one basket.
When the one basket falls, too much
goes to smash.
Let us think this busincsn over dur
ing the next few weeks, and see if
there is not something we can do while
we wait for the |>oltti<'ians and Euro
jfl'sns to act.

Farmers Near Ames Said to Be Con-
templating Putting Down
Deep Test on Own Block
Vines News: Farmers here have tired
of wildcat oil companies and have or
aiized themselves for the purpose of
giving their laud a real test for oil or
,?as. They intend to block 10,000 acres
of their own land and drill to a depth
of .1,000 f<>ot, if oil is not found sooner.
Marshall Tribune: There is a strip of
uiitry six to eijjlit miles wide, east of
Marshall, that was devastated by hail
in the big storm two weeks ago. Every
form of vegetation was destroyed and
farmers were compelled to plant their
rops over again.
Marshall Tribune: Mr. Hugh Adams,
formerly of Crescent and Douglas, has
purchased a controlling interest in the
First National Bank at Goltry.
Hitchcock Clarion: We are informed
that a revenue officer from Enid cast
his net in the hills around Ferguson
mid Okeene, Saturday, and caught
ibout seven or eight moonshiners and
their stills. That is a, fair catch for one
asting but you know that some of the
fish usually escape, so it night lie a
ood idea to <ast again. If the report
is true if i* certainly gratifying news,
:md we hope tin* good work continues
until every moonshiner and bootlegger '
in the state are behind the bars.

A year go, when the Velvetina specialist came
to Hennessey they had never heard of " Reeder, the
Druggist,' but that was not surprising at that
time lor Reeder had only been managing a drug
store in Hennessey a short while then -although
he had lived here for many years.
Hut before the demonstrators had been in Hen
t'cssey a half-day they found that almost every home
they visited designated "Reeder, the Druggist," as
their drug store. Kvery order these Velvetina speci
"lists secured last year was also placed through
Reeder.
It i.s always customary for national mauuifactur
ers to place their agency with the leading drug store

We were truly gratified
ladies, who had gone into the
housewives and asked them in an unprejudiced wav
who their favorite druggist was—that the unani
utous answer was "Reeder the Druggist."
Wc believe that the large increase in our vol
time of business has come to us because we have
made a real effort to serve and please you.
This is the store where patrons become our per
