quires that ono well be drilled with-
in a year of the approval of each
lease
Thero Is no prospect of the Prai-
rie Oil and Gas company at any time
In tho near future taking (ihe full
production of the field Many pro-
ducers believe that tho Prairie hus
refrained purposely from taking the
products In order to thus give ex-
cuse for the low prices Engineer-
ing this movement the Prairie would
break down one of the rules of the
secretary of the Interior os a pre-
liminary to breaking down that
other rule which prohibits ono in
dividual from holding leases In ex-
cess of 480 acres One prominent
pro-Standard man Is alleged to he
largely Interested in leases far In
excess of the prescribed number of
acres Many producers here are
anxious to have it known at Wash-
ington that tho meeting held hero
was not representative and that the
committee represents the views only
of Its members and the smaller
number who participated In the
short notice meeting What Is want-
ed by the Independent producers is
an Inquiry as to why the Prairie
which monopolizes the field does
not take the production Unless the
rommlttoc takes up the matter with
Secretary Hitchcock it will not fully
represent tho desires of tluu Inde-
pendent producers hero
The membership fee Is what Is
known as a business association for
mutual advantage and protection
temporary organization of which
was effected by Ihe early meeting
was fixed at $25 and the yearly
dues at $10

No Study for Children Under Six
Thnt home la the best school for
children under 6 Ib the conclusion ar-
rived at by an English committee of
trained educators that has been Inves-
tigating the results of schooling on
babies of this tender nge The com-
mittee reports unanimously against
sending those tots to school They
find that not only do many derive no
Intellectual benefit from It but on the
other hand they seem to fall Into a
state of apathy with regard to books
and their powers of observation More
play more sleep more stoiy telling
more free conversation— these are rec-
ommended by tho English report as a
substitute for schooling until the child
