DR. FHANK P. CULVER WILL
SPEAK AT BANQUET JAN. 16
Dr. Frank P. Culver, well known
southern ora'or, will be the guest of
honor and principal speaker at a
banquet given to the members of the
Business Men's Bible class of
First Methodist church their friends
and the ladies whom they ma# ip-
vite on Friday, January 16. The pro-
gram committee, headed by F. A.
Thompson has arranged a splendid
program, it is understood, and state
that some of the best features will
be held in reserve as a surprise. The
ladies of the First Methodist church
will have charge of the banquet. A
nominal charge will be made for the
plates, but that the menu will be
far in advance of the price, has been
promised.
Speaking of the coming banquet.
Dr. J. H. Groseclose, said, "The Bus-
iness Men's Bible class of this city
is one of the strong organizations of
its denomination in Texas. For a
number of years it has had a large
in2uenee on all moral and religious
matters in this section. One of the
outstanding features of its program
has been its quarterly social sessions.
This banquet which will be served In
the basement of the church, Friday,
January 16, will doubtless be the
greatest of these meetings in the
history of the class."
Shares, Not "Aciee."'
In th» advertisement of the Prairie
Queen Tractor company appearing in
yesterday's Telegram, an error made
the statement read, "this stock is now
$100 per acre." Obviously it should
have read, $100 per share."
The corrected advertisement appears
again in this issue. Many sales of
stock in this company were consum-
mated yesterday, and the indications
are that the company will be quickly
financed, and get started to delivering
tractors by planting or cultivating sea-
son.

Not a Census Enumerator.
A. E. Brinkmeyer, who proved to
be a representative of the American
Educational society when investigated
by the police authorities, was charged
with attempting to get information
for his correspondence school about
children under 14 years of age, by
posing as a census enumerator yes-

A Serious Accident.
Mud' thrown from the wheels of a
passing automobile in the residence
section of the city Thursday, ruined
a stranger's disposition and damaged
his clothes, but he phoned The City
Tailors, 1-2-3-4, and Harry Shanklin
returned his clothes "good as new."
Piaster Paris—Not hi France.
Joe Garnett of the United States air
service, who was in the city yesterday
en route to Washington, D. C., stated
that he did not see much of Paris,
France, but that he has seen much of
plaster paris. Mr. Garnett had refer-
ence to his arm which was injured in
an accident at San Antonio about
eighteen months ago and is not yet
well. He resigned a position here as
Santa Fe claim agent to enter the
army in 1918. He was not sent over-
seas .
Theft of Purse Alleged.
C. R. Green of Dallas, Tex., is said
to h vve had his pocket book contain-
ing something over $96 in bills stolen
from his pillow Wednesday morning
at the Temple hotel. He came in on a
morning train about 3 o'clock and
placed the purse under his pillow on
retiring. He did not miss it until to-
ward noon and when he had eaten
breakfast and gone down town. Of-
ficers have been busy on two or three
clues but nothing definite has yet de-
veloped.
The local naval recruiting station
issued the following statements for
publication yesterday:
A class of six enlisted men of the
army was ordered to report to the
navy ae^ological school at Pensacola,
Fia., on Dec. 1. The class entering
the school on that date numbered
15 (6 from naval air and training sta-
tions, 3 from marine corps and 6 from
the army aviation service.)
The course is four months. The
bureau of navigation is making assign-
ments to this school from applicants
""who have had two years of high school
or its equivalent and who have a work-
ing knowledge of mathematics and the
elementary sciences.
Very few people know that we have
a Filipino ship in our navy. There Is,
however, a destroyer named after a
famous patriot of the islands which is
manned almost entirely by Filipinos.
The ship is the U. S. S. Jose Rizal,
built at a ship building yard on Ihe
Pacific coast, and now attached to the
United States' Pacific fleet.
There are Filipinos on almost ev-
ery vessel in the navy; although their
ignorance of our language prevents
their entering any except the very
lowest grades. Thev are most ambiti-
ous, and spend all their spars time
studying.
The destroyer Jliza] has been man-
ned by Filipinos who have spent some
time in the navy and who have made
the best of their opportunities.

ments have been made. Mr. Bennett

fore the rains and are in A 1 condi-
tion, that they have tested abovo 90

Ok-In Plant Will
Be in Fort Worth
Fort Worth, Tex.—The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the
Ok-In Producing and Refining com-
pany was held Monday in their new
offices In the Ok-In building at
Twelfth and Jennings streets. About
85 per cent of all outstanding stock
was represented at the meeting, with
Morse Garrett, an attorney of Tulsa,
chairman. Shareholders elected trus-
tees, namely: W. H. Locker, Bank of
Commerce, Duluth, Minn.; C. C.
Bailey, First National bank of Bart-
lett, Tex.; T. M. Elkins, of the Duffo
State bank, Duffo, Tex.; W. L. Propst,
Tulsa banker, and G. W. Merrill.
The trustees elected the following
officers: G. Whitmore Merrill, presi-
dent and general manager; W. L.
Propst, secretary and treasurer; W. H.
Locker, vice president; T. M. Elkins,
vice president; C. C. Bailey, vice presi-
dent.
a report from the president showed
the purchase of a refinery site of thir-
ty-six acres located on the Cotton Belt
and T. P. railroads, adjacent to the
Magnolia and within one half mile of
the Intersection of nine pipe lines
from Texas and Oklahoma oil fields.
A contract has already been let for
the grading of the refinery site and
building the trackage for loading
racks and delivery of materials for the
plant. This track will extend flOO feet
on the Ok-In property and will be
ample for fifteen tank cars.
The refinery will be a 16,000 barrel
capacity plant and will be constructed
in units in order that the company,
may start the manufacture and mar-
Regular Habits Produce
a Beautfiul Complexion
Daily elimination rids the system of poisons.
Women should realize that I
MANY women complain
daily of tbeir complexion,
of their headaches and gen-
eral ill health, little realizing
that the trouble is constipation.
Women, too, are much more sub-
ject to such congestion than men,
and much more careless of it.
The result is seen in lusterless,
weary eyes, fn sallow, pimply
complexion, in lassitude, bad
breath, and in that word so often
used, "indisposed." -m
At the first sign of these symp-
toms the wise woman will take a
laxative, and will see that the
young girl and others in her care
do likewise. Dr. Caldwell's Svrup
Pepsin is the favorite with thou-
sands of women because it is mild
and gentle in its action and in the
end trains the stomach and bowel
muscles to do their work naturally
without the aid of medicine.
^ This combination of simple lax-
ative herbs with pepsin, which can
be bought at any drug store, fc
also a very sterling first-aid in
colds, fevers and other sudden ills
that make it advisable to alwayi
have a bottle in th« home. It is
free from narcotics and safe for
the tiniest baby.
^ In spite of the fact that Dr.

Mr. Merrill's report also showed
that the company owns 4,000 acres of
oil leases in Texas. In addition to
acreage the company owns produc-
tion and royalties in wells In Desde-
mona. One well is now producing 600
barrels per day and a second stands
with 2,000 feet of oil in the hole
awaiting pipe line connections.
The Ok-In company has a recom-
mendation few can parallel, a Texas
company which has sold two-thirds of
all outstanding stock to Texas inves-
tors.
DR. L. R. SCARBOROUGH WILL
SPEAK IN TEMPLE SUNDAY
Dr. L. R. Scarborough, president of
Southwestern Baptist Theological
Seminary of Fort Worth, Tex., will be
in Temple Sunday and will speak at
the two services of the Memorial Bap-
tist church. Dr. Scarborough was
chosen by 4,000 delegates at the
southern Baptist convention at Atlan-
ta, Ga., last spring, one of the most
enthusiastic ever held, to head the
Baptist 75 Million Campaign as gen-
eral director.
Speaking of the prospective visit
here. Rev. W. W. Woodson said yes-
terday, "Dr. Scarborough is a great
preacher and evangelist and is consid-

strongest spiritual powers. I had the
