Development OF
PACE OIL WELL
New Drill Rod Of Extra Heavy
Piping to Arrive Soon--
Now Take Some Stock,

Much interest is now being
manifested in the Pace Oil Well.
Those who have visited the Caddo
oil fields and returned here, can
but be impressed with the great
possibilities there is in this Sec
ton. if properly exploited.
Mr.. Pace has shown commend
able faith in the well. He has
given the bulk of his tina and
spent considerable money in try
ing to get to the required depth.
He has now on the way an entire
new drill rod of extra heavy pipe
which, he feels satisfied, will soon
produce results.
The curative properties in the
waters that now comes out of this
we'll is fortune in itself. if they
could be iuade known broadcast.
The burden has borne heavily on
Mr.. Pace and the result of u sue
cessful outcome of oil would be q
benefit that all would share in.
Every one who has money and
feels an interest in the prosperity
of Winfield should take some
stock. The investment viii pay
should they fail to get oil. The
water will be q paying investment
itself. We should divide the load
SO subscribe for some of the stock.

The Hat and the Title.

There is an amusing English deflni.
ton of gentleman" 1t Is "a man
who wears a silk hat and II he has
no other title insists upon having Esq.
added to his name when letters are
addressed to him."
The west end Londoner Of social
pretensions accepts this definition In
practice. Summer and winter, In rain
or shine, he wears high silk hat In
the streets of London and carries II
into the rawing room when he pays
an afternoon call. 1t Is only when he
takes a train for the provinces or for
the continent that he ventures to use
more comfortab BILE headgear. He also
expects to have the distinction Of "es-
quire" when a letter is addressed to
him and is highly offended II he finds
on the envelope the prefix "Mr." As
a matter of fact, the number of Eng
lish gentlemen who are legally en-
titled to the medieval honor Of les
quire" is Insignificant. 1t is self as.
sumed title which signifies nothing
that is substantial In rank or privilege.
In common use In London ESQUIRE"
simply means that the person so adj
dressed does not choose to be associ-
ated with tradesmen and ordinary
working people and that he is "gen-
tleman" who invariably wears silk
hat
