Applies with equal force to expansion in building homes, bungalows and business blocks, with special force and emphasis at this particular time.

DIVIDEND IS DECLARED At a meeting of the board of directors of the Mid-Continent Consolidated Oil & Utilities corporation held at Muskogee, the regular monthly dividend of 10 cents per share was declared on all outstanding "A" -shares, payable on July 31, 1917. to stockholders of record as of July 13, 1917. The recent expansion of the fields in which the company is operating was embodied in a report to the shareholders. It showed acquisition by the company of 2.000 acres of oil leases !n the sensational new field in the -western part of Okla

homa in Alfalfa county. The directors also at this meeting ratified Mr. Nelson's contract leases to the Producers company, the Prairie Oil and Gas com

pany, the Carter O.U company, the Atlantic Petroktum. the Gypsy, the MidContinental company, ia Minnehoma and others to an amount which will enable the Mid-Continent Consolidated Oil k Utilities Corporation to complete the 3.000-foot well drilling on this acreage without cost to the last mentioned corporation. , It is not unreasonable to suppose that drilling operations In this territory, in the Broken Arrow field, in the Salisaw district, in Eastern Oklahoma and in the Goose Creek Humble field in Texas, will vastly Increase the Income of the company. Work on the

above mentioned Broken Arrow properties is being pushed with all energy, which has already resulted in the bringing in of a very good 2.500,000-foot gas well in the 1,000-foot sand. This has

been tubed, packed and equipped and a

second test has now been started. Mr. Xelson reports his opinion that by the end of this month the company will have some oil production on that acreage also.

.. xtx wiLMAM FaiUf EUUI9 (United Pros staff Correspondent.) WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IX THE FIELD, June 26 (by mail). To Judge by the diary of an inhabitant of Savy, recently wrested from the Germans by the British, the life of the

people In -the Invaded districts of Franca

must be one series of nagging and persecution. Some of the entries in this record of enemy occupation pf Savy have already been given. Here are some mon: Feb. 10 (1916): A son of M. Dumortier has had to do eight days for failing to salute a German Officer. M. Louis Demarly and Jules Guffroy Gulvier were condemned to 14 days in prison at Vermand for not saluting a Gerrrfen. Feb. 14: The Germans tell me there are 800,000 war widows in Germany, that they have taken 17,000 prisoners at Verdun; that ' they have 60,000 frenchmen surrounded at Verdun. Is it true? Feb. ' 22: The constable announces that no beasts are to be killed unless four days notice is given the German authorities. Feb. 26: I am told that Verdun has been taken. We are forbidden to give bread -or tobacco to Russian prisoners working here.

Baloche has been fined 200 francs and imprisoned 15 days at Holnon and Mme. Baloche 10 days at St. Quentln. Oct. 6: This morning my mother and

I went to look for some things we needed in the cupboard. We found everything removed to make way for shirts and things belonging to a German who had moved in without notice. Oct. 12: There is typhus at Savy. N'o more passes will be given civilians. Oct. IS: Council discusses evacuation of inhabitants. Oct. t: Great artillery combat on. Much thieving going on.

Dec. 25: 'Nothing remains in Savy. All .Implements taken. All fruit trees cut. Dec 30: Great flurry and movement to motor cars, lorries, soldiers. Reminds me of Market day in the Rue St. Martin.

Jan 29 (1917) French aeroplanes bombed SaVy last tight. Some Ger

man motor cars and lorries and soldiers were hit. Feb. 1: The Germans say Germany will begin a submarine war. Feb. 10: Civilians here and elsewhere forced to cut down all trees. There is a rumor we are to be evacuated from bur homes. Thus ends the diary. The British

and

entered Savy Bhortly afterwards

found boys and girls of working in.

men and women not too old to work, had been deported into Germany. Thost who were able danced and sang In the' streets, so glad were they to be fret ' fff the German yoke which had been upon them for over two years.
