BRICK PLANrIN OPERATION.

Steam from the great gas-heated
boiler was turned into the big so
horse power engine at the Brick Plant
last Tuesday and the wheels of the
pOnderOus machinery began their
slow but irresistible revolutions. The
first work was the manufacture OF
dry press brick and about $50 were
turned out, perfect in color and form.
1t will be several days, of course, be-
fore everything is perfectly adjusted
but by the first of next week Mr..
Harmon expects to have the ma
chinery all in order and running
regularly. Another leaf turned in
the history of Iola's rapid progress.

GAS WELLS TESTED.
Experts Test the Force and Volume Of
lola Wells and find them
All Right.

Prof. f. Hawerth, Professor Of
Geology at the State University and
Mr.. Moore, a natural gas expert Of
KOkOmO, Ind, were here yesterday
and tested the Factory well and the
old Coop" well. In each theyfound
the same rock pressure,-3O7 pounds
and the same open flOw,-20 pounds.
Their measurements demonstrated
the daily yield of each of these wells
to be 7,014,0 cubic feet. The fact
that the wells, although nearly q mile
apart, show exactly the same pressure
and volume is an excellent indication
of the uniformity of the field, while
the fact that the old well, after having
been heavily drawn upon for nearly q
year, shows no diminutiOn whatever
in its flow, is the best demonstration
that could be had of the long life of
the field.
Prof. HawOrth and Mr.. Moore were
going TO Neodesha to measure the
wells there, but received letter while
here denying them that privilege.
1t is certainly a matter of pride to
lola that she is willing to let all the
world know just exactly what kind
of gas wells we have here.

CLUB NOTES,

The Clnb met at the usual time and
opened by singing Home, Sweet
Home by the club. Nearly all the
members were present, and number
appointed critic for the day. This was
the mothers meeting and was a very
interesting one.
During the current event l,Onr, the
reading Of the comparison Of the lines
of Chas, A. Dana and Henry George
in the November Cosmopolitan, writ
ten by John Brisben Walker. and read
by the president, probably held the
most interest for the Club, us it was
listened to with rapt attention by all
the members. Tie program as pub
lished was carried out, each numbsr
followed by very general discussion
which showed the ladies present TO be
in general sympathy with the lines of
thought presented by the articles read.
In one on "CO-Operation Between
Parents and TedcherS'' by DR.. Mary
Wood Allen, parents were severely
criticized for not visiting schools, and
some of the ladies present had very
severe ''prickings'' of their seyeaal
consciences, which they openly confess
sed. Apropos of this subject and for
the benefit of those who were not pres
emit. we will relate Il good story told by
one member. A superintendent in
one of Our northern cities was annoyed
by the lack OF interest displayed by
the patrons in visiting the City schools.
One day, expressing his opinion to
some of the citizens, one of them said.
The school building is SO far away"
''Well'' said the superintendent, II

the building in question was situated,)
