OIL INTEREST AT CLINTON.
What is considered one of the beat
undeveloped oil fields in Western Ok-
lahoma is that of the Clinton oil field,
and early spring will find several
strong financial companies testing
this field. The geoglogist have made
very favorable reports on the Clinton
territory, and from these eports sev-
eral big companies are making ar-
rangements to drill as soon as the
weather settles somewhat, and among
the companies is the Magnolia Pe-
troleum Co. They are at this time
making arrangements to drill at a
point about eight miles northwest of
this city and it is expected that with-
in just a few weeks now that company
will be drilling—Clinton Chronicle.
DR. ROGERS ILL.
Dr. McLain Rogers, head of the
Clinton hospital, is seriously ill at

Lamb left Tuesday night for Ardmore

Three of the ships have come from
the Hog Island yard, Mr. Plez said,
and the fourth from the Submarine
j Boat corporation plant at Port New
; ark, N. J„ which should have deliv-
ered 124 vessels by last December 7.
j The Merchants' Shipbuilding cor-
poration at Bristol, Pa., has not yet
I delivered a ship, he said, although un-
der its contract twenty-four should
have been completed by December 1.
The Hog Island yard delivered its
third ship today and has launched
twelve others, the committee was told.
Before resuming Its inquiry today,
the committee adopted a resolution by
Senator Nelson of Minnesota extend-
ing its investigation to include a sur-
vey of tho progress of all government
merchant ship building.
Under the resolution the shipping
board and the Emergency Fleet cor-
poration would be required to furnish
a statement showing the number of
shipyards where ships for the gov-
ernment are being or are to be built
or contracted for, together with the
capacity of tho yards and the amounts
contributed by the government for
their construction, if any, and the
number of ships each has completed
or launcued. The committee also
asked for the expenditures made from
all money appropriated by congress
foij ships and whether any of the ves-
sels completed for the fleet corpora-
tion have been used In carrying men
or munitions to or from Europe.
Questioned today about the Hog
Island yard, Piez told the committee
that because of a change in the man-
agement of the American International
Shipbuilding corporation, contractors
on the Hog Island project, the fleet
corporation had decided that it would
be unwise for the government of the
yard at this time. Under the new
arrangement, Matt Brush, formejjy a
vice president of the American Inter-
national corporation heads the Amer-
ican International Shipbuilding cor-
poration and other changes in the ex-
ecutive officers have been made.
Piez said the government eventually
should exercise its opinion on the Hog
Island site and take over the manage-
ment of the plant.
The Hog Island yard, the witness
declared has been the Mecca for rep-
resentatives of all nations visiting the
United States, and generally they
have expressed admiration for it. He
said the plant eventually would be-
come a big producer.
"I feel more distinctly that it was a
great asset to have the Hog Island
yard, in reserve as it is a great asset
to have a large army in reserve," said
Piez. "It has been a very great moral
factor in our successful prosecution of
the war."

IT'S A GOOD NEW YEAR
Ahead IF You Make It. ::
It's a truth too old to tell again that you'll get out of the
coming year just about what you put in it. Lots of folks seem
to never get anywhere, regardless of how good the year has
been, or how favorable conditions are—and other folks seeia
to keep right on going ahead regardless of most conditions.
Right now Washita county's crop prospects are better than we
would have asked for. There isn't a chance, it seems, for ua
to avoid big crops, and a double-header of prosperity,
And yet some folks won't get hardly a doent living; some will
lose money—but most of us are going to make good money.
Crop prospects and livestock prospects are linked together.
Wheat and corn and cotton, turkeys, cows and chickens--
Everything plays its part in providing for^pur needs and laying
in store for the future-
And an important factor is method in doing things—
EFFICIENCY. The fellow who sows his wheat by hand can't
have a great acreage; machines do it faster and better. It's
that way with chickens—good incubators outdo the old hen.
And it's the same thing with Cream Separators. You naturally
exect to get more cream and better cream from a cream sap-
arator than through hand skimming—and you do, every time.
There is of course a large difference in cream separators.
And after many years of experience in cream separator hand-
ling, we think we have found the separator that fits your need,
whether you have a few or many cattle.
You know where the price of butter fat has been—and wlwre
it is now. It's too big to waste anything of now. Get all your
cream while the price is high—for if you waste a bit of cream,
yon'11 have to pay for a separator without getting one.
