The Western Recorder, one of the
hest known church periodicals, OF
the State. contains editorial recogni-
tion OF the candidacy OF Judge James
p. Lewis, OF Whitcsburg. Republican
candidate for Secretary of State. The
Recorder says, There is no trucr,
nohler. or consecrated layman in our
Commonwealth. lie is Christian
and Baptist OF the New Testimcnt
order. He is candidate for Secrc-
tary OF state and would grace any
Office to which he may he called. In
this connection il may not he amiss
to observe that Judge Lewis is being
opposed for the Office of Secretary OF
State by Barksdale Hamlet who is
seeking to be elected Secretary of
state. in order that he may prepare
himself Ito beat hell out OF Ed. Nor
row four years hence" Every good
citizen OF Kentucky should vote for
james p. Lewis. and rebuke grating

The Ardmore Booster.
BY W. w. Harries

BY W. w, Harries
If you like old Ardmore best.
Tell 'em so,
If you'd have her lead the rest.
Help her grow.
When there's anything to do,
Let the fellows count on you:
You'll feel bully when it's through,
Don't you know,
If you want to make a hit,
Get name!
If the other fellows it.
Who's to blame?
Spend your money in the town
Where you pull the shekels down;
Give the mail concern frown,-
That's the game,
If you're used to giving knocks,
Change your style!
Throw bouquets instead of rocks
For while!
Let the other fellow roast;
Shun him as you would ghost,
Meet his hammer with boast
And a smile.
When stranger from afar
Comes along,
Tell him who and what we are
Make it strong.
We in Ardmore needn't bluff,
Tell the truth, for that's enough.
Join the boosters, they're the stuff
We belong.

Indicates Middle of Field.

w. r. Russell of the firm of Skel.
ley & Russell, returned yesterday
afternoon from a business trip to
Tulsa and left Immediately for the
field. Mr.. Russell said:
THE Russell & Skelley two wells
numbers I and and the two wells
of the Coline offsetting the same,
which are just now being completed,
extends the big pay sand in section
6 westward to about the center of the
northwest quarter of the section. The
thickness of the sand has not dimin-
ished in these wells, and it looks
now like the big pay will extend on
west into section / in jefferson coun-
ty. There has been no wells drilled
westward from section 6 and it is
not unlikely that the field will extend
as far westward from the big pro-
ducers in that section as it does east
ward, as the biggest producers are
usually found in the center of POOLS
If Mr.. Russel's theory is right, the
field will be extended two or three
miles to the west. He seems to
base his hopes upon the usual con-
dition that the thickest sands are
in the middle of the producing area.
But whether that proves true at
Healdton remains yet to be demon
strated, and is somewhat doubtful.
The Corsicana Petroleum company
drilled a well in the northeast corner
of section 1-4-4 and was rewarded by
only small producer. Skelley &
Russell themselves drilled in the
northwest corner of section 6-4-3 and
brought in small well, and L. C.
Hivick drilled well on the west side
of section 1-4-4 and found no oil at
all That well was not drilled to a
depth that would make it fair test,
however but if the prolific sands
reach that distance, they have a
considerable dip to the west.
