New Oil Well at WoodviIIe

Woodville, Okla, oct. 13.-An oil
well was brought in at Woodville,
Okla. The Twin Oak Oil Company's
test, five miles west of Woodville,
brought in a well good for twenty-five
barrels natural. The drillers say it
will be good for a hundred barrels
after the shot. 1t is a high-grade oil,
testing As gravity. The pay sand was
encountered at depth of $50 feet. At
ter drilling into the sand eight feet,
the driller shut down awaiting tank
age. This is one of about twelve tests
that are being drilled in the southern
part of Marshall County. Representa-
tives of different oil companies are
arriving daily and great deal of acre

Prospects are good that four-inch
pipe line will be laid from the field
to the Ringing road somewhere be-
tween Wilson and Ringing. The point
on the railroad reached, will depend
somewhat upon the convenience Of
fered in securing a right-of-way. Who
the parties are that have the matter
in hand, cannot be given to the press
at this time. The county engineer is
making take-off to the property in
preparation for acquiring the right-of-
way. The presumption is that one
of the producing companies in the field
is building the line ror it's exclusive
use in caring for it's own production.
Oil men say that the pipe line build
ers must have plan to get a high
price for their OIL or they could not
afford to pay the freight rate accord
ing to the tariffs in force.

MEXICAN UNCERTAINTY.

There is just as much uncertainty as
ever surrounding the situation in
Mexico. General Huerta's big fight at
the present time is in search of money
lenders who are willing to risk their
money in aiding the much disturbed
republic. That he is not meeting with
any greater success in this than he is
in putting down the constitutionalists
indicates the plight in which he fig
ures and lends encouragement to the

PUBLIC EXPENSES.

1t has come to be a characteristic
feature of each new administration,
particularly of city or state, to en-
dorse the policy of economy. 1t is a
popular cry and one which gives evil
dence of proper beginning, as far
at least as can be evidenced in a state
ment at the opening of a term of Of
flee. Such a declaration is a fitting
subject for even q special message, the
advocacy of economy and the call for
the stopping of reckless expenditures
being one of the things in which the
community is always interested. What
ever touches the public purse con-
Germs each and every one of the con-
tributors.
New administrations start out with
the best of intentions and the high
est type of policies. They set ambitious
goals without understanding all the
difficulties which lie in wait and which
are best understood through experience
and coming in contact with those
forces which are clamoring for con-
stantly increasing public expenditures.
There are also coming up new and I'M
foreseen public undertakings which re-
quire opening the public purse. One
of the greatest aids to the regulation
of public funds is the budget system.
This forms the basis for consistent
action 1t permits of an understanding
of the conditions, the demands and
the restrictions before all bounds of
reasonable expenditure have been pass
ed. Unless there is such a method
of controlling finances the stand for
economy is likely to meet with serious
trouble

A WISE COURSE

Ever since the recent state election
in Massachusetts, the matter of speak
ership in the house has been the bone
of contention. 1t was a question
whether the progressiyes, who held
sufficient votes, would throw their
strength to the republicans or the
democrats The contests close re
vealed the extensive political efforts
which had been made for that office,
but it is a refreshing and commend
able action which was taken by the
half dozen progressives to insure the
election Of the republican candidate.
1t was the one logical course for
them to pursue regardless of the sub
sequent action of their party Header
in reading them out of the party. The
political dodge as arranged between
the democrats and progreSsives was
for the selection of the progressive
candidate through democratic backing
q fact which means democratic dicta
ton throughout the session as a re
compense for the speakersbip. The
progressives who refused to remain IN
''der such an arrangement were justified
in their action. They have not in
jured their stand in behalf of pro-
gress, but they have recognized the fact
that they were once republicans and
that their greatest opportunity for eff
fort if there was to be a coalition with
another party was with the republi-
cans. 1t is a recognition of the fact
that their best field for operation lies
within that party and it is from such
action as has been taken that the
greatest benefit will be received.
There was nothing about their action
to cause surprise. 1t was sound and
sensible

ATHLETIC TRAINING.

successful contestants in track meets.
Instead of all being encouraged to
participate and continue to take part
in the various athletic activities, the
wedding out process usually puts an
end to the hopes ard efforts of many
students. Il ends their activities if not
their interest in that direction. and
they fail to get the benefit which is
obtainable from the exercise which is
afforded
For the purpose Of giving all an op-
portunity to share in the athletic train
ing Williams college has appointed an
athletic director, who is to have charge
of all the sports of the student body.
He is qualified for his duties and in his
appeal for a larger participation in
athletics he is planning to not only
interest but to give that training to
each and everyone which is an i'm
portant consideration in connection
with their educational work. This is
bound to do general athletics good,
but the benefit which will be gained
by the student body should be ever
greater This is broader view Of the
athletic side of college life than exists
in many institutions but it is not too
broad for accomplishment Of the good
which is possible and which is in
tended.

Everybody at Church Sunday.
Mr.. Editor: When a man comes last
in a series of writer's on a given sub
ject, he generally finds that the
ground has been pretty we'll covered.
Hence he is somewhat a a loss as to
what he should say or omit Never
theless, while cordially endorsing all
that has been said in favor of church
attendance, I feel that 1 want to add
my mite to the argument. The spirit
ual and ethical values of the church
have been only emphasized by previ-
GUS writer's. In view of what these
values mean to the individual and to
the community, as preventive, protect
i've, reformatory, inspirational and up
lifting agencies, it would be impossible
to overestimate them They are as
abundantly manifest in the history that
is now making as in that which is past.
But, while all this is true, this age
has laid emphasis on certain standards
of value, and we are told it is able to

value in the very electric sympathy
generated by numbers of people en-
gagged in the same service. Just as an
audience can be stirred to emotions
and enthusiasms as a unit, which the
individuals composing it would not
feel, apart from others, as mere tndi-

do more together than apart. And the

Mr. Editor this letter is already

of reply to Seeker After Truth" AS

the churches are preaching creedS and
dogmas rather than life. But is that a
fact? l am afraid that Seeker After
Truth has not attended church very
much of late, for 1 venture to say that
had he so attended he could not have
made such a sweeping assertion. May
I ask him how he would substantiate
his contention? From published SER

very opposite. So do the subjects Of
