GAS C0IIPAHY
BUYS COOX FIELD
FurdutM Of Cook tlelil May Mean
Better Gas Service In Future
Several New Wei)
On Frida of last week Walter
Evana purchased what is known as
the Cook Field aouth of the Ruck-
er gas field and pipe haa already
been ordered for connecting Pryor
with that source of gas supply
At present the gas company Is us-
ing only two wells to supply Pryor
and Choteau and ths pressure Is
very weak The Cook field which
is only partially developed lies two
and a half miles to ths south of the
Rucker field and contains five wells
two of which are exceptionally good
It is thought by those In position
to know that with both the Rucker
and Cook fields to draw on Pryor
and Choteau will be assured plenty
of gas for several years
Mr Gilchrist in charge of the op-
erations estimates that the gas will
be flowing from the new wells with-
in two weeks depending upon when
the necessary pipe arrives

of the convention of women's clubs

it was misplaced
The women of Mayes county nev
er do things by halves They are
gaining much notoriety through their
activities in the Home Demonstra-

that they have been forced to “carry
on" without a leader since the res-
ignation of Miss Vera Jones former
home demonstration agent who was
responsible for Inaugurating the
movement In Mayes County
Saturday May 6th the women of
these clubs met In convention at the
little town of Mazie which has de-
veloped a real reputation as a llvs-
wlre community The convention
Is said to have been an event of un-
usual interest and much enthusiasm
was shown The session was held
in the school building at Mazie It
was decided that the next year's con-
vention will be held at Pryor We

III BALL GAME
Hut Cye Failed To Connect With The
Sphere Except For s iyp Fly—
Score Was bix To Five
Fun? Something the crowd had-
n't anything else but — tbe crowd
that took in the Mason-DeMolay base
ball game on the achooi campus last
Friday afternoon
The Mason took their "outs" to
start with and allowed the “De-
Mollya" to make three ringern be-
fore they got their eyes opened to
the tact that tbe kids ntrbei 'd am-
ong them aome r
John Hogan twirled 'em lw tbe Ma-
sons while Virgil Tilly-did tbe re-
ceiving act "Shad" Klmsey was
in the box for the “De Mollys" with
Percy Butler ss backstop
Two “sports" had it framed with
Klmsey to allow Cye Samuel to get a
home run but try aa he might Cye
was unable to connect with tbe
sphere for more than a single and
it was only by fumbles purposely
made by the opposition that the Ma-
sons' big fiyit base commedian suc-
ceeded in making the first sack on
a little pop up to the Infield
Tbe “DeMolly’s" tried to put
their opponents out of business by
“killing" the catcher but Virgil Til-
ly got Dutch Whitaker to run for
him Dutch made connections with
the pill for a beautiful home run lat-
er In the game
Frank Hair did such a rotton job
of umpiring that in the Inst few in-
nings A us Anderson was called to
the mound but try as be did to win
the game for the Masons Aus failed
to keep the klda from rounding out
the winning score In the sevents
when a storm came up and scattered
the spectators
The final score waa 6 to S In fa-
vor of the embryo masons (De Mo-
lays) Tbe writer was so busy
boosting for the Masons thst he fail-
ed to secure the box score which no
doubt would have proved interesting
Suffice It to say that Karl Moore at
Short Dutch Whitaker at Third and
Cye Samuel at First covered them-
selves with glory for the Masons
while Gordon Keys wss the star hit-
ler for the De Molays M C Had-
ley in center field succeeded In stop-
ping several grass cutters that came
his way by lylug down and allowing
thra to bump up against him
It was a great game and made up
in fun what it lacked In finances
Owing to the rain the race be-
tween the two court house heary-
weigbts Rosa and Brown was called
off aa was also tbe basket dinner
which the ladles failed to provld
