13. Jones, wealthy ranchman and
livestock breeder of this place,
has announced that he will with-
in a few weeks start drilling a
test well for oil in Kiowa County,
Oklahoma, about twelve miles
southeast of Mountain View and
near Stinking Spring. Jones has
owned several hundred acres of
land in that county for several
years. A well was started on the
tract a few years ago by Brock
and Staley of Drumright and not
finished on account of the death
of Brock. Jones took over all
leases of the firm in that vicinity.
Jones has oil interests in the
Eldorado field. He has a 2,000-
ac.re wheat farm in Canada that
had demanded his attention for
several months, otherwise the
Oklahoma enterprise would have
been started earlier. He is now
in Fldrida hut expects to he in
Oklahoma within a short time.

Devoted Husband
A Loving Father
The Oklahoma Tuberculosis
Association has started a cam-
paign against spitting anywhere
and everywhere, aod has named
a local committee as follows: C.
E. Bradley, J. H. Sumner, E. L.
Fry, S. A. Parnell and F. E. For-
gy. The committee will soon
wage a campaign for cleaning up
the town generally, and to pre-
vent spitting in public places.
The committee should have the
hearty endorsement of every cit-
izen.
Dr. G S. Ault left Thursday
for Ionia, Kansas, in response to
a message stating that his father
was dead. Dr. Ault says he re-
ceived a letter from him just a
few days prior and he seemed to
be in perfect health.
Peter W. Farris was born in
Cook county, Texas, near Gains
yille, April 12, 1872, died March
3, 1920.
He was married to Miss May
Minton October 5, 1899. To this
union eight children were born,
seven of which are living.
Mr. Farris was a member of
the Methodist church for a num-
ber of years, and lived a devoted
Christian life up to the time of
his death. All that loving hands
could do to relieve him of his
suffering was done. The wile
and children have lost a loving
husband and father.
He came to Oklahoma Decem-
ber 27, 1892 and resided on a
farm up till within two months
but at the time of his death was
living in Mountain View.
Besides his wife and children,
he leaves two brothers and one
sister; C. C. Farris, Tuttle; D. M.
Farris Mrs. Ida Snow, of Fred-
erick and a host of friends to
mourn his loss.
The funeral was Conducted by
Rev. H. L. Shelton in the Meth
odist church, Thursday, March 4.
The remains were laid to rest in
the Mountain View cemetery.-
Loved Ones.
Among the many causes for the
spread of tuberculosis is the more
or less characteristic habit of the
American people that of spitting
anywhere and eyervwhere.
The Anti Spit Campaign of the
Oklahoma Tuberculosis Associa-
tion should have the unqualified
support of everyone not only be-
cause spitting is a filthy and dir-
ty habit, but because of its being
one oi the chief means of spread-
ing the tuberculosis germ. The
germs are not easily killed be-
cause a culture of dust after the
sputum has dried may show liy-
iug bacteria.
Health, even life, is endangered
on every hand, even more than
is popularly believed. It is an
individual habit, to be controlled
individually.

FORMER CHIEFS OF KIOWAS
ON BUSINESS TO CAPITOL
CONCERNS TRIBAL MAHERS
Yes, Barnuni was right when lie said
men are suckers,
And want to pet caupht on a hook
and be skinned;
That we seem to be yearnin’ for some
one to do it—
To take off the hide and to rub the
salt in.
Happy as two school boy's the
first day of the summer vacation,
former chiefs of the Kiowas Lone
Wolf and Kiowa Bill departed
Monday morning for Washington,
D. C., where they will visit the
Indian Department and personal-
ly present tribal matters of im-
portance to the officials of the
Department of the Interior.
Neither of the former big men
of the Kiowas would state to an
inquisitive reporter the nature of
their business, but Kiowa Bill
had a telegram sent to Jas. Waldo
of the Indian Department advis-
ing him of their coming visit to
Washington and asking for an
audience Thursday on their ar-
rival in the capitol.
At Anadarko members of the
Comanche tribe were to join Lone
Wolf and Kiowa Bill and go to
;Washington with them.—Demo-
crat-Chief.
But I guess I received about what I’s
deservin’,
li’rom that fine talkin’ pent with
those wonderful pens—
Yet I hated to tell my wife just how
it happened—
How shoes for the children became
fountain pens.
Caid of Thanks
We wish to thank our many
riends and neighbors for the
cindness and sympathy shown
us during the suffering and death
of our loving husband and father,
also for the beautiful flowers. —
Mrs. May Fariss and children.

i:he problems of reconstruction,
you should hear him. He has

This here is the town where I do most
of my tradin’.
And sometimes I think that the mer-
chants are high
In their charges for poods that they
sell o’er the counters,
And so I have thought I would tel
them pood bye,
tradin’ by mail at
An’ do all my
Chicago,
Kansas City, Ft. Worth, or others I’ve
tried,
With peddlers that pass through with
extra fine bargains,
Or some one who’ll peel me and take
all the hide.
I think that the real estate men are
all grafters;
That doctors and lawyers charge like
the deuce
For the time that it takes them to
tell you what ails you,
Or to institute action, there’s not
any use.
It doesn’t take long to write down a
prescription,
And the charges for this is a dollar
or two,
And I don’t propose to pay any
lawyer
'Less he gets me in court—I lon’t
now, would you?
It matters not how much of worry or
trouble
Or money he Baves me by keepin’ me
out—
I hold that no fee he has earned by
advisin’
And tellin’ as how I had better look
out.
Tother day I's in town when a nice
lookin’ stranger
Drove up in a car and stopped on the
street,
And told us as how he was yearmn
to give us
Some genuine bargains—a very rare
treat,
And he 'peared just as nice as could
be, and he told us
How honest he was: that for twenty-
one years
He had sold fountain pens that hac
give satisfaction;
That no one who’d buy them need
have any fears,
But what he was gettin’ the very best
bargain,
And one that knocked all of the
others to smash;
And say, don’t you tell it—it soundec
so pleasin'
I purchased ten of them ano plankei
down the cash.
