Fill Your Coal Bins
Now if Possible
Now is the time to fill the coal
bin, according to Chas. F. Bar-
rett, adjutant general.
‘ ‘As soon us the moderate de-
mands of the consumers* are
met the operators will begin, to
ship coal out of the state on or-
ders long overdue, and unless
the domestic users stock up
v ith coal vow there is a strong
probability that January and
February blizzards may find
the coal bin empty without the
possibility of filling them." Gen.
Barrett said.
“Production of coal at this
time is about 70 per cent normal
with little hope of an Increased
production until after the holi-,
days. There are many little
differences to be straightened
out before the miners and op-
erators mill work, harmonously
again. Th%re is a sullen dispo-
sition on the part of both min-
ers and operators which may
result in trouble, and which will
at least continue until commis-
siones have adjusted the details
of the Indianapolis agreenment.
“ Ail parts o fthe state have
either received coal or have it
on the way, and acute condit-
lonshave been alleviated. One
hundred care a day are being
produced now. This relief is due
largely to the work of the volun-
teer miners and state supervis-
ion of the mines. Both the min-
ers and operators know now
that a long strike will not be
countenanced and that the pro-
duction of coal must not be
halted.
“That only 70 per cent on nor-
mal production is maintained

Christmas edition. These ex-
pressions are not confined to a
narrow circle of personal friends
they .come from men and wo-,
men representing every walk of
life. We believe it was a cred-
itable edition, made possible,
however, through the support
of the business men and citizens
of Wewoka and the boy3 who so
faithfully stayed with the job
night and day until it was in
the mails. Messrs. Louie Fowler
and W. E. White, both em-
ployees in the mechanical end
of the plant, are entitled to no
little credit for whatever suc-
cess attended the production of
the paper. They are both faith-
ful, true and earnest, and with-
out their assistance we should
have fallen far short of our ex-
pectations. We sincerely ap-
preciate every assistance ren-
dered by our patrons and friends
in making it what it was.

Be Careful, Gentlemen, French Government
Very, Very Careful
Those who have so long been
accustomed to their “morn-
ing's morning” on% Christmas
may weell heed the fate of three
boy?> who live in the Hazel com-
munity. This animal we call
booze is a very, very scarce ar-
ticle. according to all reports,
and lest some one be tempted
to partake of the first licker
they meet in the road without
first giving It the once over,
serious, results might follow.
These boys, according to our
information, secured a quantity
of sc-called corn whiskey and
drank It. It made them deathly
sick. That was several days
ago, and one of them is still a
very sick lad.
To Honor Soldiers
Those in charge of the Christ-
mas trees at the Methodist and
Baptist Churches for tonight,
(Wednesday) report that every
thing is in readiness and that a
great time is anticipated. Ap-
propriate programs have been
arranged and will be rendered
previous to taking the pesents
from the trees. Songs, recitat-
ions, addresses and other enter-
tainment featurees will furnish
a delightful evening to all who
attend.

Water Well Drill
Hits Pocket of Oil
Hon. W. A. Bishop of Seminole
was in the city yesterday on
business, and while here called
at this office to tell us about bis
oil well. Some weeks ago he
started to drill a well for water
on his farm four miles south-
west of Seminole and after go-
ing a short depth struck oil,
samples of which he displayed
in Wewoka. He is having the
product analyzed and will know
in a short time what the grav-
ity is. Mr. Bishop has 1700
acres surrounding this pros-
pect whicn he says he expects
.....-----y' ----- — to have fisted by some respon-
receive one before leaving Fran- jblc that wants a
rp dood drilling proposition.
Drilling has been suspended
and the oil continues to increase
in volume. The well is only a
short distance from the well
near Maud which had a good
showing of oil last year. Mr.
Bishop is highly elated over his
find and Is being deluged with
drilling propositons.

to handle large transactions with ease,
but never too big to overlook the best in-
