OUR SYRUP OF WHITE PINE AND TAR WILL RFLIEVE
THAT TICKLING COUGH FOR YOU
E. J. SKIDM0RE
DRUMRIGHT S OLDEST DRUGGIST
FARMER WOULD BE FAIR
Oil production is not confined >.o
any (ingle community in Oklahoma.
New areas are being discovered, run
pools opened up almost daily. Oil
scoots, forerunners of development,
are contracting for lands in well-nigh
every section of the state. Scarce-
ly a district but visions for the mor-
row the derricks, rigs and tankage of
a Drumright. Hardly a farmer but
hopes his acres will be next chosen
for the prospector's proving. The oil
search is state-wide—pushing, extend-
ing. building, losing, winning.
Who. next to the oil man, is the
largest shareholder in this gigantic in-
dustry! The Oklahoma fanner. Who
should welcome most cordially the oil
extension campaign? The Oklahoma
farmer. Who draws dividends if oil
We found or if wells be dry? The Okla-
homa farmer.
Who finances and plans and risks?
The oil man. Who assumes all ex-
pense, guaranteeing incomes regard-
less of investments' cost? The oil man
These things being so—and they
are so—who is the chief financial
beneficiary of all this speculative pio-
neering? The Oklahoma farmer. And
he benefits—how? He retains owner-
ship of his land while receiving liber-
al rental for it—sometimes for years
before an inch of it is required of
him; and then, if oil be brought
forth* without a cent's outlay or a
moment's expenditure of labor on his
part he luxuriates in an assured and
handsome income.
The Daily Oklahoman and The Ok-
lahoma City Times are using the far-
mer as a tool for defense in a plea—
which is unsupported by statistics or
other rational reasoning—for an in-
crease in the gross production oil tax.
But probably there isn't a farmer in
the state who has suggested or en-
couraged that attitude.
Brerj farmer of intelligence knows
well that the oil industry is doing
more to enhance his fortunes than
any other agency. He knows what th*
Oklahoman and The Times do not
seem to know, or if knowing, endeav-
or to hide from the people, and vast
sums sre lost daily in oil prospecting,
that all is not profit even when suc-
cess attends it, but that the fanner is
surely the gainer whichever route
chance travels when the oil man comes
his way, seeking new fields to explore.
The farmer, we are convinced,
stands behind the oil man in a pro-
posal to reduce the gross production
ta* on oil, because the farmer wants
to be fair and square toward the de-
veloper of his property who is bear-
ing now more than his share of the
taxation burden.
AGAINST BIGGER SALARIES
Recently the house voted to in-
crease the salaries of congressmen's
secretaries from $1,500 to $2,000 per
year. At the same time a proposition
to permit each congressman during
sessions to employ an extra stenog-
rapher at a salary of $75 a month,
says the Wichita Eagle.
Kansas and Oklahoma members, for
the most part, voted against both in-
creases. Of the Kansas delegation,
Taggart and Shouse alone voted for
the increases, while Anthofiy, Ayres.
Campbell, Conneiy, Doolittle and
Heverling voted against both. Of the
Oklahoma delegation, Ferris and Has-
tings voted for both propositions, and
McClintic, Morgan, Murray and
Thompson against both. Carter voted
for the increased secretary's salary,
but did not vote on the second propo-
sition. Davenport, as usual, did not
vote on either question.
A newspaper is a private business
enterprise yet in a measure, because
of its universal service to the peo-
ple, it becomes a public utility. The
people assume the right to publicly
criticize the press and to give the edi-
tors their frank opinions as to what
a newspaper should and should not do
and how the paper should or should
not do it Editors and publishers long
sinxe have to an extent not only ad-
mitted this right of their readers, but
court their criticism and often spend
money to obtain it The newspaper
man is the only man who will not re-
sent it when you tell him how to run
his business.

A PLUCKY FIGHTER
j Editor Derrick:
As Johnny Dunn is a stranger in a
strange land, and got rather the worst
of it in his encounter with Curley
Smith last night, I thought I would
sa\ a word about him. He arrived her
with a great flourish of trumpets; it
was claimed that his reputation in
Southern California was very high;
and, if we may believe the local press,
he put everybody on thc run. It was
hard to get a match for him. Part of
this was bunk, and part of it was
truth. Dunn entered the ring in the
pink of condition. No fighter could
look more fit for the fray. After two
or three rounds, however, it became
a question whether or not he could
stay in the ring ten rounds. He seem-
ed to realize this himself, for he
clinched excessively, evidently to savc
himself, and to get through the
round without serious mishap. Never-
theless, he bore punishment quietly,
made a game fight, and did his level
best. Several times he was roughly
handled, and he barely got through
the ten rounds without a knockout.
Curley was a little too much for him.
but did not have a complete walk-
over. Dunn is a good boxer, there is
no yellow streak in him, and in mak-
ing a clinch in emergency he is very
quick and very certain in his catch.
He deserves the respect of the sport-
ing fraternity.

The Magnolia Petroleum company

tion 9-16-7. The gas will be mudded

a 7,000,000-foot passer in the Bruner
sand. No. 20 of the same company on
the Lester Keyes farm is making 200
barrels after a fifteen-quart shot.
Work has been started on a new 6-
inch pipe line to connect the Sinclair-
Cudahy station at Alluwe with the re-
finery at Vinita. The new line will
prove a boon to the producers in that
district, as it assures a run of all the
oil produced. Pipe for the new line is
being unloaded at White Oak. A
force of about 100 men is employed
and the line is being laid at the rate
of about a mile a day.

It is rumored that Australians are i *£

jewelry store, in the Wilson Building, on
January 17,1917
with a stock of high-grade jewelry. Will make a spec-

during the past year has always given satisfaction, and
an absolute guarantee will be placed upon each piece
of work leaving my bench. A share of your patronage is
solicited.

H. H. LEWIS
Dick Curley of New York, who saw
Les Darcy box in Trenton, says the
boy is the goods. He went to the Jer-
sey capital to offer Darcy $1,000 to|
sign articles to meet Battling Levin-j
sky in New York.

The fact that the Sinclair interests
and those of the Standard are in com-
petition, which is a matter of general
knowledge anon goil men and finan-
ciers, seems to be lost sight of by the
Topeka (Kan.) Journal which, in an
article of recent date, telling of the
I big plans of the Sinclair Oil & Refin-
ing corporation and the Sinclair-Cud-
ahy pipe line interests, says:
Following completion of the El Do-
rado-Chanute line, the Sinclair-Cud-
ahy company plans to build to the big
oil tank farms near Chicago. The
I company owns millions of dollars'
worth of oil property in Oklahoma
and Kansas, and is reported to be as-
sociated with the Standard Oil and
Prairie Oil £ Gas company interests.
It ia believed in Topeka that with the
completion of the new pipe line to

pipe lines to the Sugar Creek refiner-
ies near Kansas City. From Kansas
i City the line will be built to Chicago,

; Considerable excitement prevails in
the Healdton field over the discovery
of a new sand which was struck in a
well being drilled by the Carter Oil
j company in the southwest corner of
! section 18-14-2, on the E. B. Pugh
farm. The drill had passed through
salt water at all depths where produc-
ing sands had been found in other
parts of the field, but the well was
continued. At a depth of 1,860 feet
an entirely new and heretofore un-
reached sand was encountered. The
oil from this sand is said to be of un-
usually high gravity for that field.
This well is several hundred feet
deeper than any other in the Heald-
ton field and it is taken as indicative
of the existence of deeper sand all
through the field than those which
have been tapped by the drill up to
this time. The drill only penetrated
the sand a few feet before oil was
struck. The thickness of the newly
discovered sand has not been ascer-
tained at this time.

Curley Smith is wearing a No. 9 hat
j this morning. He needn't get a case j
| of swelled cranium. He is still just
I where he was before the Dunn con-
test, except that there are a few
score more people who have cut him
off their visiting list.
The next day or so will decide the
future movements of Les Darcy, the
Australian fighter. Tex Rickard soon
expects to know positively whelher
or not Carpentier will be able to get
away from the war abroad. In the
event of the Carpentier match being
off, Rickard is likely to select another
opponent for Darcy. It may be Levin-
sky, Al McCoy or Billy Miake, who
bested Jack Dillon in ten rounds this
week.
Benny < Leonard, the New York
knockout artist, will soon meet Fred-
die Welsh, although the dope may be
changed by Welsh's defeat this week.
It would be the third time Welsh
would stack up against Leonard. Tom
Andrews, the Milwaukee promoter,
has been negotiating with Billy Gib-
son for Leonard to box Welsh in that
city next month.
Billy Miske of St. Paul, had the
better of Jack Dillon of Indianapo-
lis, in a ten-round bout in Brooklyn,
Tuesday night. Miske took every
round except the seventh. At infight-
ing Miske was superior. Dillon held
on in the ninth after receiving a hard !
right to the jaw. Miske injured his
left hand in the contest.
Ritchie Mitchell, Milwaukee light-
weight, defeated champion Freddie
Welsh on points in a ten-round con-
test in Milwaukee, Tuesday night.
Welsh's tactics brought a roar of dis-
approval from the crowd. He was
warned by the chairman of the state j
boxing commission to box or draw a
penalty. In every round but the |
tenth, Mitchell had a decided advan- j
tage, jabbing the champion at will.
Kid Williams, the ex-bantam cham-j
pion, is still complaining that he got j
the worst of it when Red Rocap of j
Philadelphia awarded Pete Herman j
the decision in their recent New Or- j
leans bout. Williams has bombarded !
all the sport writers in the country j
with New Orleans papers with stories j
of the encounter, and while none of j
them say Williams won, the general;
opinion expressed is that he deserved
no less than a draw. Rocap's decisi- j
on, say the papers, was received with j
silence and surprise. From what we j
know of Herman, it is hard to un-1
derstand why he should beat Willi- ;
ams, unless the Kid has gone back or !
the 118-pound ringside left him weak.
Williams has grown heavy since he
won the title from Johnny Coulon in j
San Francisco in 1914, and finds it'
hard to make the weight.
