The prices quoted above were Chi-

higher than the price actually receive..
by Oklahoma farmers Compare the
prices given above with the price paid
for wheat today. The difference re
presents the difference between a re
publican administration kw\ a Demo-
cratic administration. Bear this dif-
ference in mind when you vote in Nov-
ember and remember that Mr. Hani
ing in a speech in the Senate declared
that a dollar a bushel is enough for
farmer-, to receive for their wheat. A
rc;turn to "the good old days of Mark
Hanna" simply means a return to tht
days of 90 cent wheat.

ART L. WALKER, Chairman
TWO BELTS 10000 FEET LONG
When a girl wears a belt long )
than L'l inches n a mum i's hire
with one *tretcl)ing more than 40 iiu
es, t!i*jy immediately become worried
and betfin to diet.
But the Goodyear tire and Rubbei
Company is manufacturing two belts
12,000 inches in length.
No, Genevieve, they are not for he-
man support—but are conveyor belt
for the purpose of carrying material
for long distances in commecial use.
Each belt will weigh 'seven ton
when completed. They will be inch-
es wide and will each consist of seven
plies. If spliced, they would stretch
more than 2,000 feet or nearly half a
mile.
The fabric used in making these two
belts if laid in a straight line, of r
gle ply 48 inches wide, would reach
14,700 feet, or more #ian two ano
three quarter miles.
If used as a floor covering, the fab
ric used in manufacturing these tw
giants would spread over 5>\K00 sq.
feet of space or aproximately cover
five times the floor space in the larg-
est gymnaasium in the country.
If the fabric necessary to make the
belts were used as a tent covering, it
would house 14,600 people standing
side by side.
The weight of cover stock used in ;
the two big conveyor belts weighs j
about five and a half ton.s

B. -e City Oil Well Drilling at 900 Ft.
The oil well now being drilled north
of town was down 900 feet Tuesday
and the big drill running uninter-
rupted. The formation now is runn-
ing regular with that in nearby oil
fields, going thru red shale and rock,
i 'I he red shale they are now drilling
through is characteristic of other oil
fields in Oklahoma and is a good indi-
cation as far as this well has gone.
TV.- company v-'jf| go down 3000 feet

struck in paving quantities sooner.
Some 12 1-2 inch casing has been
put in and no water is now bothering
the drillers.—Cimarron News.
INJURED IN A RUNAWAY.
Mrs. R. S. Williams of near Lorena
is in a local hospital in this city today
suffering from injuries sustained in
a runaway yesterday. Mrs. Wil-
liams and two children had started
for Lorena to do some trading when
the horse they were driving suddenly
frightened at something or became
possessed of a desire to run. The
animal became unmanageable and up-
setting the rig threw the occupants
into a wire fence. Mrs. Wlliams suf-
fered three bad cut* on her left arm
and one in her left hand, while a se-
vere cut on the left side of her head
severed the right ear almost complete-
ly, It required considerable stitching
to correct this injury.
The horse the lady was driving has
been driven by them for nearly a year
without a bad sign and this action of
his is inexplanable.—Liberal Democrat

Tire Mileage Increased and Cost
Reduced—for Small Cars
You can buy Goodyear Tires today
at prices which are no higher than
they were ten years ago*
And from these tires you can now
obtain more actual mileage due to
advancements made by Goodyear in
their construction since 1910
The present cost of Goodyear mile-
age therefore is decidedly less and
this fact applies to all the line,
including the 30x3-, 30x3!/2- and
31 x 4-inch size Goodyear Tires built
especially for small cars.
If you own a Ford, Chevrolet, Dort,
Maxwell or other car taking these
sizes, go to your nearest Service
Station for Goodyear Tires — get ex-
ceptional mileage at very low cost*
