also centered about the apparently
new producnig sand in the new Black-

depth will give four, and possibly five
separate and distinct sands from
which oil is produced in the new pool.

3 Humphrey in the northwest comer
of the southwest of 10 27 Iw. It is
flowing 100 barrels of oil and making
two million feet of gas in the sand at
2355-5 7feet. A southwestern struc-
ture, connecting El Dorado, Kansas,
the old Blackwell field, the northern
extension of Tonkawa and Garber-

Alcorn Oil Comnany by drilling in a
100 barrel well on the Hubbard farm

distance northwest of Tonkawa. This

But we find that agriculture is d’vid
ed into two separate and distinct parts
each of which is F’rirely dependent
upon the other The first part is pro

ing.
We also have found that production
is purely an individual problem. It
now is generally known among farm-
ers and the eonsuining public that
marketing, to be profitable and suc-
cessful, must be a collective problem.
By collective marketing is meant
that the farmers urxonize themselves
into cooperative marketing as.so Na-
tions for the purpose of intelligently
marketing the produce they individual
ly produce. The cr-qs are put u>.on
the market at nlv:e and time of de-
mand. It is an elderly affair and

“A health examination on your birth
day” is a slogan adopted by the Na-
tional Health Council of W ishington,
•D. C., and with wihom the Oklahoma
Public Health association is coi.yerat
ing to extend the average length of
human life.
Chas. W. Grimes of Tulra, persi-
dent of the Oklahoma Public Health
association, urges that a health exam-
ination on one’s birthday be registered
as one of the New Year’s resolutions
this year. Says Mr. Grimes, “Since
pepuar health education was begun
by the organization of the National
Tuberculosis association in 1904 and
the establishment of the Christmas
Seal Sale to finance volunteer health
work throughout the country, the
average of human life has been ex-
tended ten year. While the organi-
sations, state, local and national, that
ere supported by the Seal sale are not
entirely responsible for this improve.!
condition, they have had much to do
with it.”
Headquarters for the Seal Sale in
Oklahoma announces a Sale in 1923
approximating the average for the
past three years, about $38,000.00.
Quite a substantial amount is coming
in each day from those who receive i
their Seals by mail but who have wait
ed until after the holiday rush to
make remittance. Several hundred
dollars is expected to be received yet.
