"LIne CrOwding."

Not the least interesting of vol
umes in the history of the oil busi-
ness might be compiled one on the
subject of Line crowding"-
process by which the holders of adj
joining leases have gotten even
with each other, or rather have
sought to do so, for as a rule all
parties concerned have been losers
financially in the process. Over
sensitiveness, greediness, honest
resentment, the remembrance OF
some unsatis6ed grudge--in briet,
scores of causes, good, bad and in
different have built in the aggregate
forests of derricks; punched enough
holes, if connected to reach through
to China or Whereabouts; led to
physical encounters of varied as
sortment and fattened the bank ac-
count of many a lawyer through
multiplied and long drawn out liti-
CATION. Sometimes the rock forma-
ton has been such that the over
greedy or over-vengetul fellows
who nave made haste to crowd
"oang up to a lease line, with a
eusher or good producer just on
the other side. have been rewarded
with busters, crooked holes, the
loss Of tools and other forms of bad
luck, In other instances they have
succeeded in tapping and effective
ly drawing off production from the
rival we'll. Then in turn another
well or group of wells has gone
down on the other side, as close TO
the line as possible, and so on,
back and forth or around the cor
ner to the full limit ofthe space to
hold derricks. There is still room
for a good deal Of Improvement in

How to Get Rich.

According to our neighbors they
cry there is fortune for the farmer
in handling calves at SIS and $50 a
head, and we want to urge our
farmers to take advantage of this
golden opportunity. Almost every
farmer ought to be able to handle
ten calves at least. We are aware
that under the gold standard the
5000 necessary to buy them is out
of the question and want to suggest
that our farmers exchange other
farm products for calves.
Four hundred bushels of wheat
will do it nicely; or if you don't
happen to have so much wheat,
500 bushels of corn will net you 10
nice calves or you might dispose Of
eight or ten of your surplus work
horses.
We don't wish TO be tedious and
extend this list, you see the points,
hustle couple of hundred dollars
worth of farm stuff. together and
get 10 calves-there's money in it.
