It has often been said that op-
portunity knocks at, every mans
door once in a life time. Others
ea.v tnat it was purely luck when
an individual rises from poverty
to a fortune: whether it be op-
portunity or luck, we should al
ways ready to grasp opportunity
and welcome luclc. Hie found;i
tion of success is laid in many
One as we notice was Frank M
Wheeler, the foundation for his
present fortune w is laid, when
in March 1911 he purchased, the
north-west quarter of Section 32
Township 18, North, Range
East, located in Creek County
Okla., a few months later Dec
27 "Opportunity in the person
of an Oil man securing leases
for a wild c it drilling proposition
knocked at his door. He leased
his farm, and at that time the
neirentpr oduction was 25 miit s
away. In a very short time the
completion of an oil well brought
with it fortune to Mr. Wheeler,
and the discovery of the famous
Cushing oil field. To day the in
come from the wheeler farm is
estimated at *800.00 per day.
If it had not been for Mr.
Wheeler and others leasing their
jarins to day the worlds great
est oil field would heve been
unknown.
Taking the number of Oil
wells drilled in Okla. during the
year 1913, and note the small per
cent that was dry holesthen take
the great murcantile agenc>s
figures, showing that 90 per cent
of new business fail. Comparing
the figures the Oklahoma oil
business is the safest business,
by far we have in the state.

doors in this vicinity to day. I

Babies need a perfect skin—cover-
