Phoenix is the Best TOWn in
 America

Considering its age, it's population and what it has accomplished. Our people going away each year to all parts of the country always come back with this verdict. There has been no boom, no buster in it's building up. But its growth from a few adobe houses in a barren waste to a city of 12,000 inhab- i;ants, with fine schools and churches, electric lights and street cars, in the midst of a valley made rich and yer dant by irrigation, has been steady and sure. To the newcomer we want to say, you have made no mistake in com ing to Phoenix, whether for health or for business reasons. And to the one returning after the summers outing we would ask, Don't you think Phoenix is pretty good place, after all? Of course, all of you will need many things in the house furnishing and hardware line and We feel sure you will not regret patronizing us with our low price spot cash system. Whether you buy or not, We ask you to call on us often and look our line over. It will surely pay you. Mail orders promptly filled.

Rich Oil Well Struck at Circle
vile Near HoItOn.
A Citizen Starting to Dig For
Water the DiseOVerer.
OIL PURE PETROLEUM.
Equal in Value to the Finds in
South Kansas.
Company Organized to Sink
More Shafts.

Leavenworth, June 14.-Circleville is
all agog with excitement over the find
ing of oil. A well recently dug in the
little town flowed black, rich petroleum
instead of water, which had been want
ed. The discovery was made nearly
three months ago, but it was kept a
secret and the news of the find has been
made known through the organization
of a company of business men of the
cities of Holton and CirclevilIe to sink
shaft for the purpose of mining the
oil, If it turns out as well as ex-
pected.
The discovery of the well was made
by the merest accident. A citizen liv
ing within the city limits started to dig
we'll When about sixty feet deep a
vein of water was encountered, but the
water flowed out with a peculiar oily
looking tinge. Soon after the water
stopped entirely and a fluid came out
Of the ground almost black and OF
ViScid, greeniSh color. The flow of oil
was not very strong, but it almost filled
the well, and has led to the belief that
oil exists in paying quantities in the
region. Several other wells were sunk
near the one in which the oil was first
struck and with the same result. The
oil has been examined by experts and
pronounced to bealmost pure petroleum
and of a quality equal to that of the oil
fields in the southern part of the state.
AS soon as the nnd was discovered
steps were taken to organize a company
to sink a shaft to discover whether the
oil exists in sufficient quantities to be
mined and refined.
The company has just been organized
and has for it's president A R. OursIer
of Circleville, who is a grain merchant
Of that city. The vice president is M.
H. Roller of Circleville.
John Q. Myers, a well known banker
of Holton is the treasurer of the COM
"a nv f. ~ Two
is secretary.
The directors of the company are also
well known men of Circleville and Hol-
ton.
The new company is organized with
capital of 100000 and intends sinking
a shaft in Circleville until a strong flow
of oil exists, if it can be found.
The town of CircleYille is only eight
miles from Holton and is about sixty
miles from Leavenworth. 1t is a town
of about 800 inhabitants.

cratic state convention to select four dele
gates at large and thirty district delegates

day. There has been a contest of consid-
cradle magnitude between the candidates

Among the other candidates for these
places are mentioned the names of Will

The convention was late in ASSEMBLING

Chairman Ziebert, of the state commit
tee, called the convention to order at 1920
and introduced Congressman Champ

the victory would be due more to the in

the very fact that the government has
this immense sum of savings in the
postal banks to borrow from enables
it to float it's loans as cheaply as it
does, and therefore that the bank is
worth to the government all that it
cost last year to maintain it. Further
more, it is argued it is the duty of the
government to promote the welfare of
the people by encouraging thrift as
the postal bank does. Finally it is
said that since the government imposes
taxes for the purpose of granting boun-
ties FOR mail service or subsidies for
ship building and in other ways aids
the enterprises of capital, it is no more
than right that taxation should be re-
sorted to if necessary to uphold the
savings institutions of workingmen and
provide them with fair interest upon
their deposits

WILL STAY AWAY.
Young Frenchman Fears to Visit Paris
-Amenable to Military Laws.

Ottawa, June 14.-Seven years ago,
Philip Blanchard, a young man IS years
of age, left his native home in France
and came to America. He left France
on what is called a passport leave" He
had not served his time in the French
army when he left.
Young Blanchard came to Kansas and
made his home with Mr.John Dyer, near
Media, in Douglas county. After he had
been here some time, Blanchard con-
cluded to remain and accordingly took
out the proper naturalization papers. A
few weeks ago he decided to return to
France to see his relatives and the Paris
exposition. Not feeling secure from the
French law, he employed Attorneys
Costigan & Harris. of this city, to make
investigation. One paragraph in the
law says;
THE F'renehman naturalized abroad
without the consent of his government
and who, at the date of his naturaliza-
ton, was still subject to military service,
remains French and as such is amen
able to the military laws of France"
Blanchard has decided not to go back
to France as he does not care to serve
his time in the army.
This brings to light another deduc-
ton. If Mr.. Blanchard or any other
Frenchman who has done as Mr.. Blanch-
ard has, should become the head of a
family of boys, those boys would be
amenable to the military laws of France
although they had never been in
France.

MAKES MONEY oHEAp.

Recently published statistics Of the
postal savings bank of Great Britain
show that the thrift of the British
wOrkingman has reached a point where
1t has almost become unthrifty, and
the postal savings bank has saved up
so much capital for use in commerce
that it has well nigh rendered capital
improbable by reducing the rate of
interest.
1t appears there are now about S,000-
ono depositors in the postal savings
banks Of the kingdom. and that the
sum Of their deposits is about s7se,-
100000. Upon that vast sum the gov
eminent is at present paying interest
at the rate of 2ls per cent, and has
not been able to find an investment for
all the money, and consequently there
was last year a deficit of about $780,
600, which had to be made up out Of
taxes.
Such being the condition of the banks,
a discussion has arisen concerning the
eXpediency of maintaining them, and
the issue will soon be brought before
parliament 1t is argued on one side
that it IS unfair for the government
TO offer 21a per cent. interest to de-
positors in the savings banks when it
has no use for the money: wheu it can
borrow at less rates all the money it
needs; and when it has to impose taxes
upon the whole people in order to he

Upon the other side it is argued that
