MODERN EMBROIDERY = The

Modern Embroidery club last night
entertained their husbands at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Yell
ton and the evening was past with
much enjoyment. The club was or
ganized about year ago and this was
the first annual entertainment. The
club proposes entertaining their hus-
bands annually in future. The men
folks enjoyed themselves so much that
they wish the ladies would give simi
liar entertainments more often.
Hove Robbins was awarded first
prize and Mrs. Mrs. George Wilson
the second prize for their ability to
draw. Everybody present was given
a picture of some object to draw on a
black board and the two persons men,
toned proved themselves more adept
with the crayon than the other con-
testants. at least the awarding COM
mittee thought so.

UNITED OIL COMPANY
STRIKES ANOTHER WELL

Another good oil we'll has just been
brought in by the United Oil company
in the Oak creek territory. Its num-
ber is $50 and ,ts depth $500 feet.
There is 900 feet of oil in the hole
and Field Superintendent Johnston
thinks 100 barrels can be pumped
from the oil lake per day. 1t is one
of the best wells opened for some
time, and the co mpany will proceed
at once to equip it with pumping
apparatus which will be placed with
in the next week.
This is not in new field by any
means as much oil was pumped from
shallow depth in that territory in the
early sos but the wells were sunk not
nearly so deep at that time. This is
one of the deepest wells in the entire
field and has every indication of be-
streak was struck Tuesday.
No. 1878 which went into oil near
the old Rocky Mountain smelter about
two weeks ago, is still holding up in
remarkable shape and is pouring
about 1876 barrels day into the stor-
age tanks This is another deep we'll,
the company having struck the oil
zone a 600 feet Senator Johnston
Is n firm believer in deep drilling
and hereafter will send the drill as
deep az the machinery will carry 1t.
He thinks that most Of the oil that is
to be found at shallow depth has
been pumped out, and that oil that il
brough in in future will be found at
depths ranging from 1850 to 3,00C
feet.
Operations have been abandoned at
No. 379, near the race course. The
company sent the drill down to a con
siderable depth and then, finding nc
oil, pulled up the tools and will
move the derrick to another part OF
the field. The rig OF No. 3Sl

week ago has been rebuilt and drill.

story Of the moonshiner He is said

such. He is a lover of liberty and
Of that right which gives him the
right to use the corn that he grows
and to convert 1t intoa liquid which
makes life seem sweet to the soul.
He is strong in the belief that Ills
right to make the mountain corn into
whiskey is God-giving and he Is will

this right He loves with ardour
aud hates with fierce intensity and if
there is anything on earth he hates
it is a revenue officer. From the
depths OF his innermost soul and with
a bitterness that cannot be expressed
in words he devises them. A highly

i''My business takes me on long rides
and the result was that my back and
kidneys were affected from the jar
ring and ~iolting, and l have suffered
"a great deal on this account. My
back would get so tired and at times
| the pains would be so intense that to-
wards nightfall / would hardly be able
! to move about and | got little sleep.
Every jar and jolt went straight to
my back and though | doctored and
doctored, wore plasters and used lini-
ments, nothing did me much good. /
/ was nearly discouraged when friend
advised me to try Doan's Kidney
| Pills and l got some at j. c. Thro's
drug store l had used only few
doses when / began to realize That
they were helping me, and the aching
began to grow less. l continued talk
