Wonderful Growth of New
Town Expected by Men
of Experience m Oil
"New Healdton will be the best town
I ever built." said Jake L. Hamon to.
dav "and I ran ay with a degree of
pride that- no man ever bought a town
lot from me and lost motley on bis in-
vestment. There is necessity for a
town at New Healdton. the oil fields
need railway transportation and that
r road ii being built by myself ami asso-
ciates. The iteel is on the ground and
two miles of mad including the track
have been completed. Between 100 and
200 teams are engaged in doing thli
grading work and electric motor cars
will make regular trips between thi.
.new town and Ardmore before the mid-
dle of the winter. The Healdton nil
fields need a railway town to supply
its operators with material and iti
workmen with their supplies and that
demand will be met in New Healdton."
Mr. Hamon who is one of the largest
oil operators in the state ii taking a
special pride in hit new town; every
opportunity will be given those who in-
vest in his property. There will be big
prof iti in thi city that will grow to five
thousand people the tint month. Scores
of merchants and workmen are now
camped upon the townsite waiting for
the opening date Tuesday January 9.
Before the sun sets on the opening day
foundations will have been laid for as
many as one hundred business houses
and for hundreds of homes. That will
be an inspiring sight. New Healdton
will build into a city more quickly than
any other nil town in the state has built
and that is laying a great deal.
Healdton oil fields have given up
more fortunes to men than any other
oil area in the state and other and
greater fortunes will be made here.
Those on the ground can aee these op-
portunities while those who do not have
the courage to break away from old
surroundings and old environments can
not. A very little money and plenty of
pep and wilt power are the only capital
you need. There is a chance here for
every man who has iron in his blood
and who has the courage to take a
chance. There will be from five to a
doten men waiting for ever house that
is built. Come and witness the greatest
energy you ever saw displayed before.
The opening dare is Tuesday Janu-
ary 9. New Healdton is 30 miles north
and west of Ardmore. Terms' ofi sate
20ercent down and 10 nertent a month.

The rapture of Braila by Field Mar-
shal von Mackcnscu his advance on
(ialat twelve miles north tlir i Tearing
of Dohrurja of Russians and furthw
successes in Moldavia have brought the
Rumanian situation to a new phasr.
Eastern Flank Weakened.
The Bratla bridgehead while not. it-
self an integral part of the south line
held hy the Russians running north-
westward from the Danube toward the
I Moldavian Ironhcr mountains forme 1
an outlying defense .of that line on the
Danube end and its capture weakens
the eastrrn flank of thr south position
(ialat likewise oil thr Damme liri
just behind the Sereth line and tlj.it
town now is menaced by the Germain-
lliilgarian movement across the Dan-
ube from Dolirudja made possible by
the Russian evacuation of the Province.
Northwest Line Not Holding.
It is not only here however that lhH
! Sereth line is threatened fair dfaYpilc a
tenacious defense bv the Russians and
Rumanians the line northwest beyond
the Hueu river is not holding well
against the Teutonic pressure while the
efforts to keep the Teutons in check in
the Moldavian frontier valleys is ap
parently proving still less successful.
A hreak in this Itne on the southerly
front would imperil the Moldavian po-
sition while the piercing of the frontier
line itself not an apparent improba-
bility would endanger the entire line
running southwestward to the Danube.
Withdrawal Feared.
In the circumstances commentators
in entente capitals are considering the
possibility of the Russians being com-
pelled to abandon the line of the Sereth
and withdraw to the Russian frontier
or beyond it to Bessarabia.
A Renter dispatch in mi Amsterdam
quotes Berlin dispatches as saying that
work of .-ciiairiiig the damage in the
Rumanian oil districts has advanced
so far that some works may resume pro-
duction within a few weeks.
Huga Stores Captured.
About two thousand carloads of pe-
troleum are said to have leen captured
at Campini and immense stores at Con-
stana The Standard refinery it
Ploechti is irady to lesume work at
cure and the oil wells at Campani will
he praducing again in about a week.
We asked the young lady across the
way if she didn't think theiar was get-

indeed she did and for her part she
could never see why a sophomore

LONDON. Ian. ft.-News dispatches
from Athens detiict the situation there
as threatening lor the entente and as-
sert that power is passing into the
hands of the reservists who are expect-
ed to break out again as on December
I. Most of these dispatches have ar-
rived by way of Syria and are more
than a week old but the Morning Post's
correspondent under date of January
J claims that the position in the Greek
capital then was such as to indicate
the Athens government is meditating
some desperate stroke.
A dispatch to the Times from Piraeus
dated December 31 says that the real
key to the situation is the military po-
sition in Macedonia. According to this
story King Constantine has received
discouraging news from bevond Monas-
tir to the effect that Field Marshal Vou
Mackensen considered it impossible to
move on Mouastir before another two
months at the earliest. The Greek gov
eminent realizes therefore sava thedis
patch that if it broke with the entente
it would have to support the struggle
atone.

Would Hamper1 Prosecution of
Bootleggers He Saysr
The proposition of making a boot
IrRRtr's customer equally guilty of vio
lating the prohibitory law as the boot
legger himself submitted to the state
senate in the form of a bill yesterdav
by Senator Frank Deauman would
hamper prosecutions in the opinion of
Charles B. Selby county attorney.
Selhy believes that the best and fre-
quently the only source of evidence
against the bootlegger would be taken
from prosecutors by this propose J
enactment.
"If a purchaser knew that he ran the
risk of being tent to jail for admitting
that he bought whisky or beer he would
never go to the witness stand and tell
the truth unless forced to do to" Mr.
Selhy said. "Instead of helping thr
measure would make it harder to ob-
tain bootlegging corvlctions "

My pet economy is health. An ounce
of prevention is worth a quart of dos-
tors' medicine. We wear good medium
priced underwear and stockings suited
to the season. These are made to last
a long time by care in washing dry-
ing and" mending placing a patch or
darn over a thin place just before a
hole appears. When the undergar-
ments are past further wear the good
parts are i-aved for patches the thin
parts laid neatly together and stitched
into wash cloths dishcloths mops etc.
Igs of wornout stockings I use for
patches for other stockings or for
partly worn knees of pants. Cut into
convenient siies and made up they are
good holders and dut cloths. These
latter are a great saving of dish tow-
els and aprons. We wear rubbers in
wet or snowy weather saving shoes
health and possibly loss of time.
We ris early and meals are served at
regular hours another economy of
time.
I buy at bargain counters- need of
the article in the near future and qual-
ity considered rather than price. In
this way I save at least a third on food
and clothing.
We use fruits and vegetables in their
season when they are plentiful there
fore cheaper.
Prunes soaked over night will Te
quire only a short time to cook and
only a sprinkle of sugar. Dried peaches
are much' improved by soaking in soda
water for an hour or two when the
skins can be rubbed off; rinse and
stew; these need only a sprinkle of su
gar.
Cranberries are greatly improved by
using one-half teaspoon of soda to a
quart and need only half as much su
gar. Oleomargarine is preferred for
its llavor and the difference in price.
I always keep my eves and ears onen
(or new recipes of easily dinested. easily
prepared medium prired foods Veeu.
ing in mind always the well ha
rations.
Fresh bread hot rolls and friVrTfoods
are almost entirely eschewed because
of their indigestihility another economy
on nutter and trying material.
I find it economy to keen butter in a
cool place; to keep bread in its waxed
paper or tin box ; to clear the table im-
mediately after meals; to early train
children to regular hahlts of risma. eat
ing and working; to take time to plan
workt a little ahead; to have each sea-
son's clothing in readiness a few weeks
before they are needed; to plan your

To Manufacturers Rushed
With Orders!

Some manufacturers are so busy they think it is
foolish to advertise for more business. Let them
ponder over these words from one who controls 75
percent of the trade in his particular industry:
"We are rushed" he said "but we will adver-
tise more than ever. We would no more curtail our
newspaper advertising than we would lower the
quality of our goods. The advertising is part of
our service something we owe to our dealers
and to our customers. It is really part and a vital
part--of the goods."
