 The bringing in of this well has caused scramble for lands, two deals by the Standard Oil Company being the first reported. One was with Messrs. Ellerbe and Leonard, consisting of 270 acres in section A. 21-16, west and south of the well, for consideration Of. $40,000 and one- eighth royalty and the other with Mrs. Kate Woodley, for sixty-three acres southeast of the we'll in the same section for $125 per acre and one-eight royalty. That section will be the main attraction from now on is shown by the fact that practically all the large companies have hold ings close to the we'll and in all prob- abilities will develop their leases. Braden & Hirsch of Oklahoma, have valuable leases in the vicinity of the we'll, as have the Producers Oil Company, Gulf Refining Company, Standard Oil Company and Pure Oil Company.

Harrell, located in the southwest cor

 southwest quarter of section 4-21-16,
 two miles north of the production in section 15-21-15, and what has here
 tofore been considered a dry hole,
 came in flowing Monday informing,
 making from 1,500 to 1000 barrels around the drill stem. The we'll was started several months ago and was drilled to 2,330 fete with little oii and lots of salt water in the hole. It was deepened, but on account of being below the pay in the other wells in other portion of the field not much attention was paid to the we'll by outside companies. Consequently the report that we'll had been brought in aroused more interest than has been seen in the field for several months. Nothing definite was learn ed until the evening train brought in the oil men who had been on the ground and witnessed the flow. It seems that the we'll came in while the drill stem was being pulled, flow ing around the drill pipe, variously estimated from 1000 to 5000 bar re1s. The we'll heaved and shut it. self off and the drill pipe has been pulled and the well shut in. No liner had been set and the we'll will probably be washed and liner set At present it is flowing about fifty bar rels day around the six-inch pipe. either from a hole in the casing or probably a leaky collar. It is claim ed a genuine oil sand has been dis covered in this we'll which would in- sure permanency of production, most of the other wells having shale carrying oil
 Inasmuch as the well has acted like the Rita Oil and Development Com first test in section 15-51-16, two miles to the south, it is a little early to forecast the result of addi tional drilling in this section, but there does not seem to be any doubt but that paying pool has been found and area unknown. The we'll is below 2,400 feet deep, and is the deepest producer in the field, tending to prove the oft-advanced theory of a deep sand. It is four miles south of west of the shallow wells in the Vivian field, and is two miles due west of producing we'll on the same lease No. ?, which, be- ing a deep failure, was perforated in the shallow sand.

TAXPAYERS ARE
 PROVIDING CAPITOL

Little Rock, Ark, Feb 15.-From all over the eastern part of Arkan- sas in the St. Francis levee district, prominent taxpayers are rolling into Little Rock today to oppose the pro- posed increase of taxation in that district next year. The levee com mittee will meet at the Hotel Mar ion tonight and those opposing the proposed increase from Ii to 20 cents per acre have been invited to attend. From the attendance which is promised by the crowds here to- day, it is evident there is deter mined opposition to the increase in taxation. Many of thIpse who are here to attend the meeting state the increase is very unjust and not ne cessary.

Holding Her Own

That much talked of, and too
little appreciated Missouri Hen

even better. Last week prominent
Missourians and admirers of the
Hen met at Mountain Grove and
laid the corner stone of building

sive use. The establishment of this
Missouri State Poultry Experiment
al Station by the last legislature
marks a decided victory for the IA

she has not only won distinction
for her state, but has won recogni-
ton and reward for herself.
Missouri has long been a great
corn state, a leading hog state. her
mules are famous around the world,
yet nowhere in the state will you
find temple dedicated to the ex-
elusive use of any OF these great
products. 1t is, however, no more
than fair that the worthy madam
should receive the first recognition,
since she it is whose output permits
Missouri to lead all others in poul-
try products.
Undoubtedly the investigational
work which will be carried on at
this institution will do much to aid
the lady in her Work. incidentally
it will, by means of establishing
more advanced methods of poultry
culture, repay the state many fold

And light where we thought there

Let's play that we'll find on the

The joys that we never have had.

Let's play there is love every

some work, trade, business or a

that you can make a living at and
stick to it. The most you, | sup

advise you to stick to the farm.

Folk On Government Finance"

Folk On Government Finance.
Governor Folk does not believe
in a great central bank to manage
the financial affairs of this country.
He attacked the Aldrich system in
an interview the other day and an
nounced proposals for the solution
of the financial problems of the
United States.
In his plan, which he believes
will furnish the elasticity lacking in
the present money system and eff
fectually prevent panics. he pro-
poses the establishment of a ma
tional department of finance as a
part of the treasury system of the
currency and to control the money
of the country
In regard to the Aldrich plan,
Governor Folk said:
Il have studied the So-called Al
drich scheme, and in my opinion it
is most Objectionable. Without at
tempting any further criticism, it is
sufficient to say that it proposes to
establish a central bank under the
name of the National Reserve asso-
citation, with capital of $200,000,-
600, and places in the hand of in
terested financial interests the en-
tire control of the money of the
nation.
Memory of the central bank
that Andrew Jackson fought, its
corruption of members of congress
and attempted control of the gov
eminent, will prevent this expert
ment being tried again in this coun-
try. The control of the money sup
ply is governmental function and
cannot be delegated to private par
ties with any reasonable hope Of
the power being administered for
all the people Hannibal Journal
Every voting precinct in Missouri
should organize a democratic club.
1t is not too soon to begin the work
in fact these clubs should be per,
manent. No political party can be
successful to any extent without
organization Monroe County Dem.
ocrats should get busy and organize
IN every precinct. While Monroe
County is safely Democratic, some.
thing like a thousand votes can b
added to or saved for the State
ticket by thoroughly organizing the
hearty in this county and getting out

Standing Around.

How many men one may see in
almost any town or city simply
standing around" Take a rail-
road train in any direction, and
count the number of men standing
around every little station as the
train comes in Go up town, and
see how many men there are sitting
around the stores on counters and
goods boxes, with seemingly no
occupation whatever.
Simply idleness is one of the
careless sins of a great many men
in this country. Not slothful in
business, fervent in spirit, serving
the Lord" is the great apostles
triple rule for sure success in
life.
So many men appear to be just
HANGERS on" without any set pur-
pose in life of any kind. Almost
any kind of definite purpose is bet
ter than none at all. Daniel, about
whom all our Bible Schools were
studying a short time ago, has been
described as the man with a pur-
pose" and the first thing said to
him that he "purposed in his heart
that he would not defile himself"
But he also purposed to make him
self useful in Babylon; and ne car
ried out that purpose so well that
he was a leading statesman, whose
knowledge and work were valued,
not only in the Chaldean empire,
but in that of the Modes and Per-
slams, which followed,
One thoroughly successful man
has given this piece of advice,
Young man, don't drift; row your
boat up stream, down stream, OF
across the stream, or sail it, if you
will, in any definite direction; but
whatever you do, don't drift,
Strike while iron is hot" is good
motto; but Make the iron hot by
striking" is better" Better do any
kind of work for a dollar day, oil
even less, for a time, if need be
than to be among the crowd that is
simply standing around" Times
