MELfD'IK Tl’I-HA BOOSTERS
Tlie boosters from Tulsa who are

ther growth that the whole continent
knows in oil mining manufacturing
or uny oilier of the industries which
warrant a city’s greatness Okmul-
gee people are proud of Tulsa as a
neighboring city for these reasons
and are glad to be a part in the
grand play in w hich she so striking-
ly illustrates w hat a few years may
nrhieve when the energy Intelligence
anil independence of these modern
times get to work upon the problems
that are to be met in transforming a
raw open wild but a'bumlantly
blessed expanse into a grandly order-
ed state dotted with cities which
challenge comparison with those of
century age Out of the rivalry
whuh energy anil Independence im-
pose upon men there arises the fin-
est spirit of community of thought

In that spirit Okmulgee business
men and Tulsa business men both

alion of tlie community of interest

IF UK OXIY KNEW
(Rudyard Kipling) I
If we knew the cares and trials
Knew the efforts all In vain
And the bitter disappointment
Understood the loss and gain —
IVould the grim eternal roughness
Seem — I wonder — Just the same?
Should we help where now we hin-
der Should we pity where we blame?
Ah! we judge each other harshly
Knowing not life's hidden force
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source
Seeing not amid the evtl
All the golden grains of good
And we’d love each other better
If we only understood
Could we Judge all deeds by motives
That surround each other's lives
See the naked heart and spirit
Know what spur the action gives
Often we would find it better
Just to Judge all actions good
We should love each other better
If we only understood
T1IK JUDGMENT DAK
( Iouisvllle Courier-Journal)
Germany's reply to President Wil-
son’s note will be a momentous af-
fair — for Germany She will do well
to look beyond tlie contingencies of
the present war: she will do well to
look beyond the possible eventuali-
ties w ith the United StateB What
tho president's note amounts to in
the broadest sense is a direct de-
mand upon Germany to state wheth-
er the imperial government at Ber-
lin stands for barbarism or civilisa-
tion Leaving the United States out
of it for tho momeut tlie German
government appears at the bar of
judgment to utter once and for all
time and to all the world a catcgor-
h al answer to that question The
question is poBed by President Wil-
son and tlie Untied States but lie
and they are but the agents of cir-
cumstance The answer will be
spoken — not to him and not to them
— but to the world and to history
Germany will do well to bethink her-
Relf of these things It Is agreed
among civilized nations that this Is
no tlmo for equivocation on their
part If Germany lias not bloodied
her vision she will see that tills is no
time for equivocation on hers His-
tory will not inquire Into the circum-
stances of her answer It will for-
get everything except that Germany

Deep Discoveries In Cushing
The Cushing field Is showing big
with a vengeance— not reaching out
but down C 11 Shaffer who put up
the ’ coin for the first well In the
Cushing field has evidently come
Into tils own He has a well making
about 8000 barrels of oil today from
the Tucker sand In the northeast
corner of the southwest of section
17-15-7 offsetting on the west
light well drilled by the Slick com-
pany and offsetting the Mldco Oil
company n Fixlco lease on the south
The fact that this well Is at least 150
feet below the Bartlesville sand
gives it the greatest importance
The question now is w 111 all of
this big stuff east of the river be
drilled (leepor? The chances are It
will not produce much oil In the low-
er sand — that Is to say where wells
lias 100 to 150 feet of Bartlesville
sund The best judgment of all men
well posted in the business Is that it
will not allow much oil below The
fact is it I a serious situation at
best and one that has a tendency to
worry the oil producers who have no
uerenge in that vicinity
Mr Shaffer however Is to be
congratulated lie has never liad his
share of the oil In the Cushing field
as yet and it looks now as though
lie was B'bout to get his Mr Shaf-
fer Is a mighty good operator — lias
his own plpo lino and refinery and
can take care of a lot of oil with loss
effort on tho market than anybody
else
