Interesting Oil Data
.T. L. Mllburn of tli Htatlnticul de-
partment of tin- Empire companies
tin collected Bomo very lntereiitinij
data concerning the oil industry.
Among the many notations in his
collection appear the following:
It in estimated that there are 2500
xquare miles of oil shale bearing lan 1
In Colorado. Over f8 billion tons
or approximately 80 billion barrels
of oil are available for extraction and
industrial use. This amount would
require the continuous' operation :'
100 plants treating 2000 ' tons a day
for 800 years. '
Thfi average daily production of
the 250000 oil wells In the Unite J
States Is 4.5 barrels a day.
The United States furnished about
70 per cent of the total world's
output of petroleum In 1919. Mexico
was Hecond and Kussla third.
Asphalt at Loco
In tiie vicinity ot Iajcu is one
of the largest deposits of asphalt
found In Oklahoma. A wildcatter
drilling there several years before
oil or gns were discovered one day
fuund his tools soaking in a pool
of liquid asphalt. A plant for treat-
ing the product was established ther
and it would have done a profitable
business but for the handicap of
being so far from a railroad. It
Is not Improbable that when a rail-
road Is built into that part of the
county the asphalt industry will
become ono of the most important In
the state.
There Is in the vicinity of Loco
the greatest deposit of grahamite in
the middle west. A mine has been
developed there by an eastern con-
cern but operations have been tem-
porarily closed because of traffic con-
gestions due to the war and the
distance of the mine from the rail-
roail. Resumption there of activltj
will probably take place within a few
months. Meantime there is probabil-
ity of a railroad entering that re-
gion from which the asphalt antf
grahamite industries will greatly prof
It.

The Impulse to Spend S
Americans are on a "spending jag." The Exchange
National Bank submits the following receipt as a cure:
Before you part with your 40-cent dollar for other than
practical necessities think of these things
the bread line of former years.
the fact that 95 per cent of all men are de-
pendent at 60 on wages relatives or charity.
that "willful waste makes woeful want."
that "a fool and his money are soon parted."
that the reckless spenders will soon be de-
pendent on the thrifty savers.
that extravagance never brought independence.

AND TEXAS PRIMARY
Dr. Crayton S. Brooks and Mrs.
Firooks closed their revival at Con
ham Texas Sunday night and reach-
ed Ardmore In time to vote. They
report that the meeting was sadly1
hindered by the weather which wps
as hot as Yuma and by the primaries
which were even hotter almost as
hot .as Gehenna. Joseph Weldon
Bailey is the storm center. Kvery one
Is for or against him. And they are
noisy and mean about It lir. lirooks
declares. The first primary was held
during the first of the revival. At
once they began preparations for
the second or run-off pritnarM whioh
occurs later In August.
Despite these conditions 28 were

bed at midnight alone 10 miles from
Ardmore. The sand bed was about
100 yards long and probably a mile
deep. The reverend had nothing with
which to dig out but his hands but
stirred by an aversion towards sleep.
Ing all night in that lonely desert
country he tolled with sudden energy.
