Mayor White returned Tuesday
from his trip east. While gone
he visited his old home in south
eastern Kansas and also Oklaho-
ma. He says it's no josh about
the boom down there, but it is a
substantial boom based on actual
oil and gas, which is to be found
everywhere. Land has become
entirely too valuable to farm and
is used only to erect towns and
oil-well dericks upon.
