AT FAIR
New Check Tabic
at First National
A brand in check table of the sort
found in metropolitan ba.tks was in-
mailed til the First National bunk yes-
terday it isn't any wood affair It's
all plate glars and brass and marble
with artistic lintsli to suit the rest of
the "fixiiis" in the Chieknslia sky-
scraner hank bulidins and handy
enough to suit the most practical
farmer or business man in the county.
The. face of I he tabic is an oblong
piece ol 'plate glass three quarters
of an inch I hick and about throe by
nine icei. in size Willi llie corner
rounded so no millionaire will catch
his coat pockets on them.
Just beneath the face la a shelf of
brass where check books can he kept
and it'll hold enough of them to write
oiders for a million dollars. Three
HI mis of curloubly covered brass sup
port the concern and these rest on a
b;..se of blue marble brought from the
quarries of Vermont
It minht be cloudy and dark sotm
days and the designer planned even
for Uiat. Supported from the face of
the table by three sticks of brass
eighteen inches long is another con-
etrn in the same metal that has been
twisted and cut up considerably with
a little hollow running along the un-
der side just big enough to hold a ne
sort of Incandescent light about a
foot long and an inch in diameter.
Then there's a place for pens and
ink and all such stuff that it would
have to have to look like a check
table.
No they don't charge anything for
a look at the "instrument" and it will
make yon feel like yon were on a va-
cation In New York city just to step
Irto the front of the bank and take a
look at their nw check table.

been a resident of Chickaslia for over
thirteen years.

cerning its invention tins doctor
who is well known over this section
of the country says the sight of "wa-
ler witches" looking for water started
him to think on the subject when he
was a lad of four years. Hut while
attending the St. Louis medical school
after he had grown to manhood he
first began a series of experiments
in chemistry that lead to the discov-
ery. Much of his spare time in tlie years
that he was practicing his profession
was spent in thought and experiment
on the subject tili sixteen years ago

tus that would reveal tlie. presence of
oil and gas but it was also affected

lie reports that he went to every well
being drilled and made his report on
whether or not it would be a producer
and that of the fifty locations ex-
amined his prediction proved correct
in every case.
He then examined an old field that
had three dry holes on it and found
that nearly the whole section was un-
derlaid with oil. His work had pro-
duced suth. confidence In the oil mMi
or the Sap-ulpa district that a new
company has been formed th '"Sa-
pid pa Oil Company" that will begin
at once the drilling on five wells.
These are the first wells to be dug
exactly as located by Dr. Womack
and what they produce will decide
whether or not the Inventor will reap
a fortune from his discovery. He is
to receive a royalty of one eighth of
all the oil produced by the wetis.
The doctor has worked out all
the country around Chickaslia and
states that this is an oil field equally
as rich as the ones in the eastern part
of the state. He says that he could
locate in the region immediately
around tiiis city one hundred wells
in one day that would be producers.
Hy his system he follows the plan
of the geologists in finding the likely
places for oil when he uses his in-
strument to locate the exact spot
where a well may bo sunk and oil ob-
tained. The doctor is enthusiastic

minutes of prayer beginning at. fltfi'l

Revival" or "Witnessing for the
Christ." Those who heard Dr. Hulten
will never forget tlie clearly drawn pic-
ture of ihe Christ on trial now before
an unbelieving world and how H is
depending on His witnesses for their
testimony. The force of the sermon
was placed on the "How of Yit.ne-
lng" and was answered In three
points one by silence the preacher
did bo helpfully portray the good of a
life silently built for Christ under per
secution and ridicule showing that
such testimony was incontrovertable;
two by word of mouth. Here the
speaker showed that if it was wise to
hear silent testimony for Jesus when
it was folly to speak that it. was dis-
loyal to be silent when it was proper
to speak. Three by the written tes-
timony. Hero he forcefully reminded
his auditors that by such testimony
we could reach our loved ones who
were out of our reach and by well
chosen illustrations made all to see
that under any conditions we could be

who has honored us by calling us as
witnesses for Him.

SALE DAY 0. 1(.
SAY MERCHANTS
Lsst night at the meeting of the
Retailers the chief topic of discussion
was a remarkable success of the free
market day sale as now conducted
by tiie association.
K was pointed oul. that though the
past few months have been what is
considered the slow time of year for
market day sales the success has been
phenomenal and the showing made is
worthy of comment. The sale has
come through the dull mouths with
colors flying- and the association is
still ahead of ihe game as to the
financial end of the proposition the
money raised for the maintainance of
tlie free sales day. The reports of
the sain days held il'j'i- the smioe.-r
sere read and that the merchants
were pleased is pu'tm it mildly.
"Judging the future mouths by tiie
past the sale will soon surpass all
our expectations." said a member of
the organization this mot'iiinr.
