OKLAHOMA WOMAN A TEAMSTRESS.

Drumright, Okla. —Miss Frankie Lilly, 22 years old and comely, Is the only teamstress in the oil fields. She ownE her team and wagon and makes all the way from $4 to $lO a day. Miss Lilly doesn’t back up at any sort of teaming, not even at hauling heavy oil pipes. She is strong and muscular, weighing about 175 pounds and she can lift as much as an ordinary man. Miss Lilly says she likes her work. "I took it up because 1 was fond of the outdoors,” she says. "I wanted to use my muscles, too, and I like horses. I guess that I like the money that I make this way also, for I make a good deal more than a girl can in an office. Everybody treats me perfectly nice and I've never had any trouble in my work.” She began teaming two years ago. Her parents reside at Alva, Okla., and are well-to-do.
