Mr. Wrightsman has soid all of his property in Tulsa and this Information is taken to mean that he will no longer be considered a voter here.

Since then the decline has been steady until in April, 1913, when North Lima was quoted at Sjc. Advances of Dc were made on North Lima and South Lima crude oil here and similar advances were made at Findlay on Illinois and Princeton pro-ducts. Kindlay's quotations were North Lima 93c; South Lima SSc; Indian 79c, (no advance); Illinois 94c; Princeton 94c. Producers Held Merting. A large attendance of llealdton field producers met yeste-day afternoon in the offices of Wirt Franklin in the Jock Haird building.

The con census of opinion expressed was that Col. Greei, attorney for the Mag nolia Pipe Line company, should adhere to his statement made many times before the corporation com- ission and before meetirgs of pro ducers that llealdton oil worth 25 per cent less than dishing oil and should pay now that price for llealdton crude. It was reported to the meeting that a telephone conversation bad been held with R. M. McFarlin of the McMan company and that Mr.

McFar lin stated that Mr. Brown of the Magnolia company was in New York and would return Thursday of this week, and that he did not want to do anything with reference to selling prices until after the return of Mr. Brown, as he thought the price would be adjusted voluntarily following his return. All the producers present expressed the opinion that Hea'dton crude should not be selling for less than fiOc, and many of them expressed their willingness to in their wells if that price was not paid. Adjournment was taksn until Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, and by that time it will be known whether the Magnolia will voluntarily raise Ihn nxtAn Tim mnntlnn a a wall i liic il itCi i lie nirci.iii no trw attended and the meeting nromisca enad attendance Col.

Greer stated so many times that the Magnolia company wanted to be fair, that it could not pay as much for llealdton as it was paying for Cushing, because the oil was worth less, that the producers think jr. Greer will now comn'v with his former remarks and raise llealdton to at least 75 per cent cf what is being paid for Cushing. A New Oil Company.

The system evolved by Superintendent Richards of the city schools, wliereliy backward pupils could continue their work without dseourage-ment and graduate with their class has made a decided hit with educators wherever it is The following letter from the principal or tlie city schools of Montclair, N. a city of 75,000 inhabitants, is self explanatory.

The principles of teaching under this plan as evolved by Mr. Richards, follo'v the letter, and are exceedingly simple and practical: "Montclair, New Jersey, Aug. 13. "Superintendent of Schools, "Ardmore, Oklahoma. "Dear Sir: "The United States department of education has informed me that you have been arranging a p'an whereby you hope to make it possible for pupils to continue their work during the summer, and thus co nplete their courses in a briefer time than usual.

"I am interested in trying to arrange such a plan for our public school system, and should be very glad of any information you could give me. At present, our summer school is largely occupied In helping backward pupils, but as tliere is considerable demand for a chance to do advanced work, I should like to offer it, but so far find it difficult to fit it in with the regular school year. "Thanking you in advance for your courtesy, I am, "Very truly yours, S. CHASE." The superintendent of the city schools has reorganized the elementary schools of the city irto twenty-four terms of three months each, so that pupils may be promoted every thri0 "onths According to reports, pupf who lins completed the work of any term is never required to repe.it that work, (or some time to come.

MAYOR AND QUESTION THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HAS FAILED SO FAR TO MEET AND OUTLINE ITS PLANS. MAYOR ISSUES STATEMENT. Mayor Mullen since his return to the city yesterday lias been busy cleaning up a mass of correspondence that had accumulated since his absence, and now that lie has disposed of the most of it he was in position to devote a few moments to the discussion of the good roads movement which was started some time ago, but which seems to have stumbled by the wayside for some unaccountable reason or other.

Mr. Mullen stated that when lie was summoned to the bedside of a sick relative in Kansas, he had advertised for a meeting of the executive committee that was appointed to handle the affairs of the good roads question, and supposed that they had met and taken preliminary steps toward securing state convicts uccording to the plan mapped out at the meeting held at the city hull three weeks ago. Mr. Mullen slated that he would issue a statement some time today and put the matter up to the citizens of the city, if they want good roads, they are going to be given an opportunity of assisting In securing them. Mayor' Statement "As we all know, the fall rains will begin soon and it will not do to have a road camp with fifty or sixty men working on the roads.

The county commissioners have practically agreed to furnish three thousand dollars, the city has promised five hundred dollars. It does appear that we could very easily raise three thousand dollars more, making a total of six or seven thousand dollars, we would he furnished with fifty prisoners, the tents for housing them and the tents and tools as fur as the board of affairs were able to supply same, tills would leave us to pay for the keep of the prisoners and their expenses to and from the penitentiary. This will mean beyond all question the biggest boost for Ardmore, that could possibly be and In fact every one and especially 'those who go to the oil fie'ds. those who have farms to sell, those who expect to get the trade of the farmers this year and in fact the farmers themselves who can haul nearly twice as much at one load over good roads as they can over heavy roads, as I say. I cannot see why you will halt.

Now let the executive committee appointed at the last meeting get together or let a new meeting be called and called at once, and then, after the meeting, let us not "die on our feet," but get up and out and DO SOMETHING." L. V. Ml'LLKN, Mayor. Crocodile's Nest. The nest of a crocodile is the interesting object lately described by W.

Schultze of the biological laboratory at Manila. A peculiar mound on the shore of a lake near Taytay, Palawan, proved to be the nest of Crocodilus pa-lustrls, about five feet high and eight in diameter, and was made from a coarse, wiry grass that had been cleared from a space of five or six by nine or ten yards und had been laid mixed with sand. The eggs, about thirty in number, were in the center of this mound, arranged in several layers. They were oblong and had a very hard, porous shell, with porcelain luster, and a white banc1 about the Diddle. In this moist nest of the Philippines, the incubation period was between seventeen or eighteen weeks.

Real Highbrow. The head of a big New York business concern is exceptionally tall and his height Is further accentuated by his exceeding slimness. The other day a visitor from the South, called to see him and was duly asked to sit down. After they had concluded their business the visitor rose to go and his host rose also, and seemed to rise and rise. The Southerner, letting his glance travel upward, as though in specting a new species of skyscraper, and with an expression of awed admiration, ejaculated "Great Scott, old man, your parents must have trained you on a trellis!"

Commissioner Hoard lias initiated a movement that he hopes will be linl-tilled by lie school board, and that la planting ivy along the side or the walla that will eventually cover the building. He has started by taking the Carnegie library, a piece of city property and has the pits dug for the ivy roots. He says thut the school hoard should do tlie same to all the school buildings in the city as this is one feature of civic attractiveness that cannot be excelled. The Ivy is of rapid growth and soon the entire sides of the buildings could be covered with proper attention, the roots are easily secured and the cost of the entire transaction Is very small consisting more in the expenditure ol physlcul force than of money.
