Had you noticed how the old
papers and trash move around
We woks? A few days ago the
wind carried all the rubbish
northward. Tuesday and Wed-
nesday it moved everything
southward, and now’ it is hank-
ed up against the north side of
fences, buildings and anything
else that will retard its progress.
Pretty soon It will be going back
northward, and ao on until a
public spirited citizenship rises
In its might and gathers and
burns it. But w'hen, O Lord, will
they rise?

The Capital-Democrat:
(Jot the C-D the other day -
the first one I have seen since
I came over.
1 am well and getting fat.
We have plenty of the old army
special—beans and canned wh-
ile.
Do they still have biscuits,
milk and sugar In the states?
1 am wondering what biscuits
really taste like.
Sorry to hear of ao much
sickness. We have had quite a
good deal here. Lost our
General the other day. His
was the biggest funeral 1 ever
attended. ,
At last winter has arrived,
and everything is froze over.
It certainly goes against the
grain to get up early In the
morning and have to break the
ice to get a little water to wash
your face in. Abe Martin has
asked the very pertinent ques-
tion: ”What has become of the
old fashioned bath tub with
plenty of good warm wate?”
Cooties, did you remark? No.
We are too slow for anything
like that, although I had an in-
troduction to the gentleman.
We have not had a funeral in
several days, and very little
sickness outside of mumps.
We give a band concert every
night. We had me honor of
playing for President Poincare
the other night and received
quite a number of compliments
from “high ups.”
We drill two hours In the fore-
noon, and in the afternoon «e
usually have football and other
athletic exercises.
Did you ever think that we
work half a day before you peo-
ple get up. Truth.
How’s the band?

WHERE YOUR HEART IS
Development vs. Leasing.
Whenour Uncle Sam pitched
his tent in old Indian Territory
to find out a list he did not
know, and to tell all he found
outj he discovered sand and
‘ gravel of a certain kind then
told the people in Creekology
(By C. P. Sites.) land Geology where to find oil
The good book says “Where j by looking for this sand. Our
thy terasure is there will thy ! generous uncle called it Sem-
heart be also.” inole Conglomerate, because
The richest and happiest pen- there was more of it in Semin
pie in the world today are those
who treasure in their hearts a
warmth, a love, a sympathy for
their fellow men. Worldly
wealth, and no amount of inor-
the future. Hereafter he will j can tak* the P,ace "f
likely take road grader around 1 a,1< peace oi mind
oh; Nation than anywhere else.
These spotsmen for oil were
governed in Creek county by
Seminole Conglomerate. Then
traced it down in Okmulgee
comity. They followed it in Ok-
fuskee county and it showed
which comes when one has them where to find the Cushing
made a definite sacrifice to help
others.
At the present moment an op-
portunity exists for “laying up
treasure in heaven” that has
never had a parallel in the
world's history. The emaciated
hands of four millions of starv-
ing. clothless, shelterless people
-four hundred thousand of
them little orphans, are stretch-
ed out to us from that distant
land, where there has been uo
peace for forty years, and where
the monstrous Turk has pillaged
the people and laid waste the
land, for many years, long be-
fore the last terrible struggle

These ae Christian people.
Jews and Protestants and Cath-
olics. Here ip America are re-
joice that the war is over, but
these people do not know frhat
rejoicing means—they have for-
gotten how to smile, they have
almost forgotten how to eat.
I appeal to you to help them.
It to not our duty. It to our privi-
lege. We like to say that the
war has freed the world. Let us
make it so. II lies in our bands
to do it. ‘Where our heart to
thefe will our treasue be also.

survey have never been drilled?
Everybody is glad to see the
Producers and Refiners well go
down in S3-8-s! but right now
we want teveral ether wells
and we want them in Seminole
county.
The Bine Ribbon Oil and De-
velopment (traveling men of
Brown Shoe Co.) have a limited
number of acres leased and ex-
pect early development. They
are leasing this land, not to hold
to trade, but for the impose of
getting oil.
A few years ago the State ge-
ological department made their
selection as the one best bet.
This acreage surrounds that lo-
cation and it is the earnest wish
of every one in the county that
this big oil pool will have a
chance to give us oil riches in-
stead cf letting us will our
hopes and faith to posterity.
Let’s get the money now and
will our posterity what we don’t

Now on this 24th day of February.
1919, Joaey Stereos bavin* filed here-
in his petiton for the sale of the real
estate deserbed In said petition, for

It Is ordered that said petition be

of the County Judge o' Seminole

have, why an order should not be
granted for the sale of so much of
the real estate of said Lae, Betty, aad
Jacklo or Bon Harjo. u ia necessary

It Is farther ordered that a copy of

field and the Paden well. It
made the Johnny Rocky Fellers
dig down in their inside pockets
for leases in Seminole county.
It was first by the thousand,
then by the ten thousand; then
by the hundred thousand up in-
to millions.
They bet this money like a
fellow whose first card was the
cutor; the second payment was
made after an Ace of spade
showed. The next payment was
another big one spot and as the
play went on the certainty be-
came greater.
Does it pay to lease ? Does it
pay to iiave our wealth checker-
ed wafting for the action of
people who are not interested in
our good.
The reason there are wells
going down just outside the
county line north, south, east
and west, is because the oil
men can block acreage while
the professional spender on
lease money keeps our county
tied up.
