because of the cold weather the last few
days, will no doubt be surprised to

Thermometer only registered 8 degrees

Fred Mohl is elated over the oil news
from Brazoria county, Texas, where he
owns 16O acres not fur from a gusher
that came in couple of weeks ago. The
indications are that his land is in the oil
belt and will be worth fortune when
the field is developed. He has received
several letters from prospectors who
want him to put price on the land, but
the writer's carefully avoid saying any
thing about oil. If they think Mr.. Mohl
is not informed as to the prospects, they
are badly mistaken. The land did not
cost him much and he has no desire to
sell it until he knows what 1t is WORTH
