Passes Through Gumbo

The drilers of the oil well for the
Dexter Oil Company, located on Hal
Murrelrs farm near Coesfield, were
in the city today, and they report the
drilling has passed through the thick
stratum of gumbo which they nave
been in for several days, going through
some 200 feet of that impediment and
that the drill has struck a thick stra-
tum of solid stone, which is believed
lies Immediately over heavy vein
of oil.
These drillers were here to advise
with Manager Wren who has been alb
sent in Oklahoma for a few days, and
is expected to return today, when no
doubt he will order the drilling to
proceed through the stratum of rock
which. when passed through, will de-
eide the fate of the oil well.
Every indication is that the well Will
meet all expectations in way of oil
production. Gainesville Register.

Gushing district. On January l. 1911
the entire production of Oklahoma
was $4,000 barrels a day: on Jan
uary /, 1915, the production had in
creased to $4,000 barrels a day. A
year ago the entire production of
Gushing, from shallow sands. was
10000 barrels a day; Headton was
producing barely 5000 barrels, and
all other districts in the state were
producing 5000 barrels day. In
the space of twelve months the fol
lowing changes occurred: Gushing
2i3, ,O00 barrels; Heldton. 1000 bar
rels; all other districts, 10000 bar
rels. We thus find that Gushing
increased 223,O00 barrels, Healdton
$4,000 barrels, while all other dis
tricts declined 1000 barrels day.
These are truly remarkable changes
in few months and they have
brought with them a decentralization

The concert given at the Congrega-

The concert was given for the bene-

financially as it might have been, all
who were present are unanimous in

free from the petty annoyances of half
human inhabitants. Every town has a

of towns have men who refuse to give

There are fellows IN every town who

thing for you and me to do is to try and
pull hard enough the other way to over

Bad Bows.

Aren't most bad boys really good at
heart, after all?
This paper had story last week
about Is, 648 young men who had been
trained in the reformatories and indus
trial schools for bad boys in England
who had shown the heroic spirit in the
war. Many had been killed in action,
many more wounded, many had been
honored in different ways, with the Vic
toria Gross, distinguished conduct
medals, decorations and so on, and in
the entire number there was not a
coward nor a shirker of his duty Every
man of them had qualified for the roll
of honor.
And yet each one of those nearly
twenty thousand men had been arrested,
prosecuted, convicted, sentenced and
had served his time as bad boy in a
reformatory.
No one VINO knows what "reforma-
tories" are will pretend that they had
much to do with reforming the boys.
The more plausible thing to believe is
that the boys were not very bad to be-
gin with. Their energies had been mis-
directed, and when the opportunity
came to do something worthy they rose
to it.
The worst attitude that can be as
sumed toward q wayward boy is one of
nagging and bounding and of persecu-
ton. Be'patient with him. Search his
heart for qualities of goodness and
you'll find them. They are there, al
ways.-Kansas City Star.

Normal Notes and Comments.
Honey Locust BOrers Abundant.


An investigation of the honey locust
trees by the Biology department at the
Fort Hays Normal School indicates that
the borers are abundant again this
year.
If the honey locust trees of Western
Kansas are not to go the way of the
black locust trees severe measures
must be resorted to.
First: Every tree which is infected
with the borers must be cut down and
burned as soon as its condition is dis
covered for the borers stay in the tree
until it is practically dead. Moreover
every infected tree is borer head
quarters from which the insects go out
to find new fields to conquer Trying
to save a tree in this condition not only
does not save the tree but it is the
cause of the death of other trees.
Burn infected trees.
Second: The female probably lays
her eggs in late summer and fall on the
bark of the trees. A good coat of
whitewash on the trunk and lower
limbs of the tree will prevent the lay
ing of these eggs there. The best
whitewash formula follows:
1. In six gallons of water dissolve
all the washing soda that can dissolve
in it.
2. Add to the above one gallon of
soft soap solution "a cake or two of
laundry soap dissolved in gallon Of
hot water will do).
8. Add one pint of crude carbolic
acid and mix thoroughly.
4. Slack enough lime in four gallons
of water to form thick whitewash
and add to the above.
5. Add one half pound of Paris
Green. Mix thoroughly and apply
with broom to the bark of the trees.
Apply now and then again when this
coat begins to wear off, say in Septem-
/ Der.
A little trouble in doing the above
two things is very small compared with
/ the value of the trees. Do it now!
