In the laat weeks' paper we
failed to state that Mr. Marshall
owns an interest in the leases
and is also a heavy stockholder
in the Texas Guarantee Oil Cor
poration, the company that has
secured the leases north and east
of town. He is therefore in*
ter««ted in seeing a thorough
test of this acreage and he says
he is of the opinion that oil in
lar^tf quantities will be found.

Rev. Hopkins Writes

letter from Rev. Hopkins who is
at Dallas, Texas, attending
Southern Methodist University.
Rev. Hopkins writes he is
specilaizing on Bible Sociology,
and Psychology of Adolescents.
While he can only specilaize on
two subjects he has the benefit
of all general lectures. Each
afternoon he writes, he attends
a special lecture by an expert on
the problems of the county
church. He is also specializing
on this subject.

Ardmore arrived Tuesday for a

Save The Wheat!
Last year at this time the Railroads had 15000 em-
pty cars ou the sidings to take care ot the wheat as
it was marketed. This year there are less than
1500 empty cars and most of them are not available
at thie time for shipping wheat.
You Must Face the Situation
Fairly
Either make provision for storing your wheat ou the
farm or it will be a total loss to you.
Where Necessary

purpose of building granariea.

What the Boy Scouta Are
Conuty Scout Master Marsh has
mailed the editor of the Times a
booklet of general information
concerning the Scout movement,
its purposes and teachings, and
we have read it with genuine en-
joyment.
We take great pleasure in pro
ducing below the Scout Oath,
and we must confess after read-
ing it a second time that it
would be a good oath for grown-
ups to take and even publishers
of rtteswpapers might to some
degree improve themselve3 by a
strick adherance to such teach-
ings:
1. To do my duty to God and
my country, and to obey the
Scout laws;
2 To help other people at all
times;
3. To keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake, and
morally straight.
The Scout Law is treated in
twelve subjects, and lack of
space only prevents us from
publishing them. Mr. Marsh is
taking hold of the work with a
willingness and determination,
and it is safe to say his labors
with the boys of the county will
be productive of much good.
