Everywhere, the bakers; have
agreed that the five-cent loaf of
bread is almost a thing of the past
It still exists in some places—in Tul-
sa, as an example—but it has grown
puny and undersized. The bakers are
promising more than twice as much
in the ten-cent loaf as they gave in
the loaf that sold for five cents.
The loss of the smaller loaf of
bread will be felt by those who want
only a small amount at a time, as

so favorable that oil men nave made
large investment? there The Cosden
Oil and Gas cooipany, the Prairie Oil
and Gas company and the Cid-Co Pe-
troleum company have made large
purchases of acreage, in that vicin-
ity. An interesting feature of this vi-
cinity is the presence of several gas
wells. These wells have been taken
over in a recent purchase by the Mid-
Co Petroleum company and Johnson
will be given gas to use for fuel in
making his test. The Johnson well will
be drilled to a depth of 3,000 feet,
which is another feature that lends
interest to it. ..
Marshall qounty has a shallow field
which the fraternity believes to be a
seepage field. The wells have been
producing from the shallow sands for
ten years. The oil is of the highest
quality in the entire field and if a
field is found in Marshall county at
deeper depths it is believed that it
will be the wonder field of the state
on account of the high gravity of the
oil. The Madill oil will bum in a coal
