has also been proven beyond doubt
that oil exists under the surface in
that section.
Last week q couple Of men made
their appearance in Wilsey, made
trips into the country and reported
to headquarters by telegram. Later
another man arrived and bought the
oil and gas right of some 5000 acres
OF land surrounding Wilsey, paying
the farmers BY check on the local
bank. On first thought this may not
appear to b os much Importance to
Herineton. but this land extends to
within twelve miles Of this city.
Many men in Harrington are firm in
the belief that oil and gas can be
obtained in land surrounding Her

grounds. Be that as It may the
time is coming, and not far distant,
when Harrington will be burning nat

or the wells at Wilsey.

COULDN'T HANDLE FIRE NOZZLE
Hope City Dads Caused Much Merri-

Hope Dispatch: Our city dads had

new auto fire engine in that city
and they went Monday afternoon IN
an auto. returning In the evening
|They report the engine right up "a

But there was one feature Of the
program our citizens were not look
ing for, and which some Of them
at least, are not talking much about,
yet all such stories, no matter how
hard they try to keep them quiet,
they will leak out.
This new fire engine Is very pow
erful and it requires two men to
hold the nozzle when the engine is
working up to contract. There are
two handles on each side of the noz-
zle so each man can have hold with
both hands to steady the nozzle and
keep 1t from getting away, for 1t is
a very dangerous thing II 1t gets
loose.
OF course volunteers were called
for to hold the nozzle and Council
men Bertschinger and Dayhoff. be-
ing old workers on the Hope ma
chine, volunteered. Everything went
lovely until our men got 1t into their
heads they could handle that little
nozzle with one hand. and they tried
1t. Then there was fun for the
crowd and a crowd was there to see
1t OF course.
No sooner had these nozzle men
let loose with one hand each than
they found themselves being jerke0
around and unable to get hold again.
The nozzle got clear out Of their
control, and began to play with them.
According to our reporter II got them

FIFTY HORSES DEAD in
DICKINSON COUNTY.

Dickinson county has paid toll
OF fifty horses to the mysterious dis
ease which struck the county last
Saturday and the disease is spread
ing fast. One Of the local veterinar-
les said today that he saw eight head
of horses dead in one, pasture last
night and five in another ON his
way from Carlton to Abilene. Some
OF the finest horses are being taken
by the disease and at the present
rate Dickinson county viii be as
well cleaned up in horses as many
of the counties in the western part
of the state. Mules do not seem
to be affected by the disease and
not case among mules has been
reported in the county. The disease
has become very serious lin the
county and the local veterinaries do
not seem to be any more successful
in stopping its spread than do the
other veterinaries of the state who
have been working on it for a NUM-
Der Of weeks. There is little use
trying to save the horses after they
are stricken for practically all OF
them die within a few hours. The
only hope for the horses Of the
county lies in some preventative. yet
to be found, which will stop the
spread Of the disease.

EX-ABHENE PASTOR FACTOR
In COLORADO CAMPAIGN.
Rev. G. @. Cress Resigns Passionate
and Gets Into battle for Dry State. !

With the close Of the service at
the First Baptist church last Sum
day evening, when he preached his
farewell sermon, Rev. G.. Clifford
Cress ended his work as pastor Of
that church, just three years after
taking up that work Three months
ago Mr.. Cress gave IN his resigna-
tioh as in accordance with the prac-
tice Of his denomination whom pas
torates are resigned, and this gave
the church ample time to select a
successor to take up the work with
out loss Of time, which has been
done in this case by the selection
Of Rev. e. H. Gum, who begins his
work at once with the services of
next Sunday. Z
When it became known through
out the state that Mr.. Cress had re-
signed, calls came from other places
both in the state and out of 1t, for
his services, some of them hard to
decline. But Mr.. Cress had planned
to take up lecture platform work
and did not wish to change his plans.
The Dry Colorado League Of Denver,
however, decided that he should not
leave the state before the election
in November. and finally prevailed
upon him so far to modify his pro-
gram as to postpone his lecture tour
to that time and enter statewide
work under the direction OF the lea
que for a dry Colorado. The efforts
of the league to keep him here is
a splendid testimonial to the work
Mr.. Cress has done in Colorado City
as pastor and especially in the wet
and dry campaign before the last
city election. Since Mr.. Cress agreed
to devote his time to this work under
the Denver league the Dry Colorado
League Of 81 Paso county has been.
organised, and the Denver League
has released Mr.. Cress for a portion
OF the time, to act as executive sec
rotary for the 81 Paso county lea
gue the six weeks prior to the cleo
ton. This makes Mr.. CIess the
executive manager for the dry CAM
paign IN this county during that
time.-C Colorado City Iris.

A GOOD TEXT

According to the News-Post of Philadelphia,
the preachers of that city warning country folk
not to let their daughters to the city unless
assured of minimum wage of $40 per week in
some reputable employment.
This sort of text looks mighty good to us, and
especially commend it to country preachers.
The Philadelphia preachers are shocked at the num-
Der of girls who come to their city, make hope
less struggle on inadequate wages and fall. The
average country preacher seems to satisfy himself
by preaching against sin and folly in the abstract
but surely here's chance to attack particular
folly particularly. The girl who gives up oppor-
tunities and environment in the country for city
life at starvation wages makes mighty poor in
vestment, financially as well morally and the
country minister cannot devote himself more di-
rectly to the cause of God and humanity than by
stemming the pilgrimage of youth from the
country to the city.

PROTECTIVE TARIFFS JOKE
ON AMERICAN MECHANICS
BY Byron w. Holt.

The workingman, like every
body else, has been fooled by a
protective" tariff that protects
the foreigner and taxes him. He
has even been cheated out of pro-
lection ON his working tools.
Last year American manufac-
turers exported over $110,00O,00O
worth of machinery and tools. sell
ing nearly all at lower prices than
the American workingman had to
pay at home for the same machin-
cry and tools.
The steel trust, sheltered by
the tariff, has forced Americans
to pay an average of 80 per cent
more for it's products than 1t
charges the foreign trade. Here
are some instances:
An adze-eye hammer made In
Little Falls, n. Y, costs the
American carpenter a sixth more
than the price at which the COM
pany finds its profitable to sell the
same hammer for export to the
English carpenter.

The speaker, a New York

Lord Rocksavage leads

He is a fine rider, a superb
shot and very smart in dress.
They tell a story about
him. He was strolling one
warm and sunny winter
morning on the terrace at
Monte Carlo. From the cut
of his gray flannels a pick
pocket realized Lord Rock
savage's opulence and at
tempted to steal his sover-
eign-purse. But the young
nobleman seized in his strong
hand the pick-pocket's grimy
paw, and. looking at it dis
gustedly. he said, as he flung
it from him:

LIGHT UNDER A BUSHEL

For downright unchartableness observe the
Cincinnati Posts endeavors to get Nick Longworth
to publicly debate the tariff issue
In the first place, Nick is almost as eloquent as
hardboiled egg. Then, he's got to be regular for
Taft and regular for Father-in-law Bull Moose, no
SLOUGH of diplomatic job in itself
We guess that that river district of Ohio ism t
going to learn all that Nick knows about the tariff.
However, it's The Posts duty to get all the light
