MORE ROAD TALK
Editor Tranicrlpt:
I hare bwn reading the articles in
th« Transcript tailing of the awful
condition of the streets in Norman
and the roads in the county and it
seams to me the effort by tha writers
is to lay all the blame on the par-
ties having the fixing of tha roads.
Now, I am sure this is wrong. It
we will just think a little before we
jump into print and begin a pro-
miscous criticism of the road men we
will see where the real difficulty lies
in the first place.
Since October 20, there has not
been a day that the roads or streets
could be worked or even dragged.
The ground has to be in condition
to pulverize before the roads can be
worked.
You cannot drag mud and make a
good, hard road of it nor can you
put in a culvert in the road that you
can cross until the mud dries, even
if you get the material to the place
where the culvert is needed.
As long as people persist in go
ing over roads while they are muddy,
just so long will we have deep ruts
and mudholes. Our country around
Norman lies level and when it rains
for more than three months at a
time the land becomes water soaked
and our trucks and cars just go down
into it and there is nothing to stop
them.
I suppose that if we should have
two days sunshine now as I believe
we will and our first critic was to
go to Oklahoma City over the same
road he went over last Sunday, he
would find the road dry and hard and
smooth, whether the road man touch-
ed it or not.
He would conclude that his article
in the paper had gotten the road man
busy and he had fixed the roads,
when in fact it would be the change
from rainy to sunshiney weather that
made The change in the roads.
Respectfully,
WILL BROWN,

J. M. Smith is home from a visit
to the oil fields near Sayre and says
there is much activity in that locality
and leases selling at from $10 to $15
per acre when, really, there is not
much more probability or possibility
of oil than there is in the Cleveland
county field. The Magnolia people
have a well down 3,100 {tt two miles
north of Sayre and one or two other
companies have started wells. The
Pierce Oil company, in which Errett
Newby and D. W. Ohern are inter-
ested, has considerable interest in
that locality, and geologists say the
formation is quite favorable.

Why Little Dudley
Loves Nels Darling
Until Dudley Anderson, son of J.
P. Anderson of Blackwell, Ok., was
six years old he could not remem-
ber a a night he did not dread to
hear his mother tell him it was bed
time. He knew he would lie awake
fighting the impulse to scratch,
scratch the terrible Eczema which
covered his little body and arms.
One day his daddy brought home
good news. He had read ir. the pa-
per of an Eczema remedy called
ZENSAL. Noting that Nels Dar-
ling, whom he knows by reputa-
tion, is president of the company,
he felt sure he could trust it to be
an honest remedy. He purchased
a jar and that night, for the first
titn* in his life, little Dudley fell
asleep as soon as his head touch-
ed the pillow. The Eczema is gone.
Little Dudley is well. This is
why little Dudley loves Nels Dar-
ling.
ZENSAL is the prescription of
the late Dr. N. S. Darling, special-
ist. It is sold by
