THERE IS A REASON SPLENDID DEMONSTRATION
There is a reason why we love the
Red Cross. It is printed in our mind,
and fastened in our heart, by what
we know and what we have seen with
our eyes.
In our journeys around the world,
cruel fate compelled us to see the Red
Cross workers in action. A real battle
was being fought at the human
Monroe Car Climbs Lexington Hill on
"High" With l.oad of Seven.
By far the best demonstration of
its kind ever made in Lexington, was
that given by Jed J. Johnson repre-
senting the B. M. Brady Motor Car
Co., of Norman, with his valve-in-

slaughter pen in Port Arthur, when gajurjay
| war was raging between Russia and
Japan, and we were there, and such
scenes cannot be forgotten. It sicken-

field. We were in a strange country — ^ g aftfir spending a few

God made this language plain, and
gave to the world the Red Cross nurse
to drive away sorrow and stop the
flow of tears. We love the Red Cross
for what it is doing. We believe in
the Red Cross, and Norman should
not slacken her efforts to extend help
to the Red Cross as long as the war
lasts, and the first days of the new
born year are painted red and filled
with sorrow. As a Nation we know
not what tomorrow may reveal, but
when in doubt, follow the Red Cross.
Its ways are right.

we heard the bitted cry of weepmg j Mlim.oe he (led.ired his intention of
attempting to climb the big hill on
east Main street with his car in high
gear.
To demonstrate the simplicity of
the Monroe, the speaker declared that
he would «isk an inexperienced hand
to do the driving. He called for vol-
unteers and Miss Merle Kemp answer-
ed the call. She assured the speaker
that she knew nothing about driving
a car. Then Johnson asked five men
tc get into the car—seven persons
volunteered to ride, and with Miss
Kemp at the wheel the Monroe start-
ed off on "high" for its task. There
were several vehicles on this steep,
rough hill of nearly 2 blocks in
length, which caused the driver to
zig-zag to get around, but the Mon-
roe never faltered. It went up easily
on "high" with its load, and its occu-
pants declared that it didn't even act
like it wanted to quit. The following
persons were passengers during the
demonstration. J. M. Tuggle, J. M.
Sherman, John Jamison, J, J. John-
son, Stanley Morton, Sarah Cooper

who owns a valuable mining lease just east of Quapaw,
in the Sunnyside district, in the famous Miami field.
This is a company with a capital of $25,000, divided
into 250 shares of $100 each. The Sunnyside district is
right now drawing the attention of investors more than
any other part of the Miami field.
It will be noted that the ZUNI LEAD & ZINC CO.
is capitalized for only $25,000 and therefore an invest-
ment in this company is much more valuable than one in
a large and probably over-capitalized company.
Every dollar of the money realized from the sale of
/Stock will be legitimately used to test out and develop
this property and liquidating the balance on our lease.
We believe that when we offer for sale a few shares in
this company at par we are offering one ol the safest
and best investments in the mining field. Lead and zinc
mined and sold in 1916 was less than Six Million Dollars,
while the production and sale for the year 1917 exceeded
Fourteen Million Dollars.
It has been nothing less than mervelous the profits
that have been made by investors in the Miami fields
and the field is only in its infancy. Now is the time for
those who have some surplus money to invest. While we
believe we are offering a good proposition, and offer
you our stock, the investor will do well to invest in any
company not over capitalized and that is properly
managed.

OKLAHOMA CORN CROP
REPORTED IN JEOPARDY
Oklahoma City, Okla., Dec. 26.—
(Special)—Oklahoma farmers are spe-!
cially urged to keep enough seed corn
on hand not only for their own use
xt spring but to provide for their
neighbors who are depending upon
buying their seed in the open market.
Those states which have formerly
supplied to Oklahoma seed corn find
themselves without it this winter and
must look for their own supplies to
Oklahoma and other states which
have formerly been buyers. Omaha
has disposed of her entire available
supply and cannot provide for the
needs of Nebraska. New Orleans is
sending to other markets seeking sup-
plies and seed corn as some points is
being held at $8 and $10 a bushel. The
same is true of seed wheat and in a
lesser degree of seed for forage crops.
I WANTED: To rent from 75 to 100
| acres on the shares. Write M. T

hear frequently from their son Keith,
who is with the American Red Cross
in Northern Italy. Only a few words,
however, just to let them know he is

They received a cablegram on Christ-
