I've practiced dentistry in this office near- ly 80 years and my father before me practiced here many years, This Is the statement by Dr, ¥, O, Burkett, Topeka's newest milllon- alre, when asked if he intended to continue his present way of living now that he is pich, Within the last 60 days five big oil wells have been brought in on a farm owned by Burkett in Greenwood county. “Of course, it takes all the time I can spare to look after my oll in- terests now,” Dr. Burkett said, “and would take all my time and more if | properly attended to. Wealth has fts exceptional requirements and 1 have been on the go night and day for weeks now, trying to take care of my practice and development in the ofl fleld.” Dr. Burkett's statement that he disllked giving up a dental practice bullt by up himself and his ' father over more than a quarter of a cen- tury, was made in deep sincerity. Me pointed with pride to the many cer- tificates of degrees from various col- leges and universities and stated sim- ply that his real business has been the practice of his profession. Dr. Burkett, however, has given an immense amount of time in the last few years developing his farm in Greenwood county, both as a farm and as a prospective oil field. “I am just as préud, he sald, “of the 250 acres of fine wheat I have on my farm as I am of the oll, but it doesn't bring in quite the return the oil does." Dr. Burkett's father, Dr. P. J.- M. Burkett, was a ploneer physician. So far, his newly acquired fortune hasn't changed his mode of life a particle. This despite the fact that the fifth big oil well was brought in on his farm in Greenwood county last week and ten drill rigs are going up on the farm. The farm has been named the new “Burkett pool” by oil men and is'a sensation of the year in the oil industry. At his office last week Dr. Burkett pulle teeth, made plates for false teeth and did all the other things a dentist usually does. His patients didn’t seem to mind beipg worked on by a millionaire, SECOND FAMILY T0 Sympathetic Woman Responds t0 Child's Appeal to Santa Claus Another needy family, the daughter of which appealed in person to Samta Claus for a chicken for Christmas, will have the request granted. Read- crs of The “Herald” will remember that last Saturday two little girls ap- | pealed to Santa Claus, who was gol- lecting funds for the Salvation -Army Christmas, stating that they would have no chicken for Christmas, One tittle girl, who said they had eight | | { { | ‘| children, and who it is learned since, i3 a member of a‘family of 12, had | her request grantéd almost immedi- ately, a “Herald" reader coming into | this office and. offering to provide the dinner. The other little girl, who is a member of a family of seven chil- dren, will have her appeal granted, Captain John Edeen, of the Salvation Army, stated this. afternoon, New Britain woman who phoned for the family address, shortly before noon. “I am glad to have people to do this,” sald Captain Edeen. “It leaves me just that much more for the many other needy families and helps make everyone happier.” Captain Edeen said today that if people only realized the satistaction they get out of buying a Christmas dinner, many others would follow suit. “But I must say I am well pleased with the generosity of New Britain people,” he said. “Yesterday a woman sent me a check for a Christmas dinner and with the help of Santa Claus and «mr two kettles we took in $60.” He said he expected to take in about $300 during the week. On the other hand, Captain Edeen says he received five letters from famiilies appealing for aid yesterday. Santa Claus yesterday picked up a fountain pen, addressed “To Moth« er” in a Christmas package, Which he turned over to the Army. This can be obtained by calling at the army headquarters at 118-120 Arch street. SEA GULLS AT LONDON ands for First Time Since Outbreak of War.
