The Probst Grain Co. met with a
serious mishap last Saturday morn
ing. The big, new cement addition
had been filled about to capacity
when one wall was crushed out and
about 5000 bushels Of grain flowed
out on the ground. BY rushing all
the hands that could work at the job,
the grain was got back under cover
before the rain came Sunday. The
collapse of the elevator wall is said
to have been caused by filling the
elevator before the concrete had set
and dried Beaver Herald.

Southwest of Waurika.

The Bashara well southwest of
Waurika a few miles and on the
Texas side of the river, has reached
a total depth of 2OO2 feet and is shut
down asking for help to drill deeper.
Deeper drilling will probably be done
for the reason that several of the large
companies made the drilling possible
by purchasing acreage surrounding
it. This we'll at 1880 feet had eight
feet of very pretty sand, but no fluid.
It is said by experienced oil men
who have visited the well that it
ought to be drilled deeper, that the
prospects are very good, and the for
nations justify a deeper test.

fully 30 per cent of the owners of
cars in this country neglect or abuse
their machines in nothing short of
shameful fashion.
What would we think of a railroad
company that allowed its locomotives
to be handled in the way some own
ers handle their automobiles? What
would we think of railroad companies
that ran their locomotives 1000 to
5000 miles without an inspection, ad-
justment or oiling? What really hap
pens is that after locomotive pulls
train of cars anywhere from 100 to
200 miles, that locomotive is taken off
and n new one continues the haul.
The locomotive that is removed then
undergoes a very thorough series of
inspections and oilings, and any nee
essary adjustments or requirements
are made.
"It seems strange now owners can
lose sight of the fact that their cars
are nothing more or less than ma
chimes, just the same as locomotives
are. Furthermore, automobiles do not
run over smooth steel rails, but are
subjected to all kinds of roads, which
sometimes furnish more strain on,
some parts of the mechanism than
the locomotive ever gets.
"Some owners will express surprise
at so-called remarkable performance
where an automobile, pr instance,
makes a run of 500 miles or SO with
the hood over the motor sealed. A
run like thatis nothing alongside of
what some owners themselves try to
do. They stretch the distance into
5000 miles, and then wonder why the
car shows signs of suffering.
at never occurs to some owners,
for instance, that when the steering
wheel works stiffly, some oil will
to them that a slight squeak in the
springs can be Temedied by an appli-
cation of oil. As long as the car
runs too many owners are but little
concerned in such matters as keeping
the batteries charged, having enough
oil in the motor, cleaning or replac-
ing spark plugs or other forms Of
attention.
"Now, an automobile does not need
great deal of attention, or great
deal of time spent on it. But il does
require some care, regardless, for in
vice plan which backs that car.
AT our branches, most of our lar
ger dealers and many Of our dealers
in the smaller towns there is in fLrce

attic service. Under this plan there
is a minimum of chance for anything
wrong to happen to the owners car.
For our whole idea is to proven.
troubles. rather than try 10 cure them
after they occur. At stated intervals
owners bring their cars in for 81 dis
tinct inspections, adjustments and Oil
ings.
This systematic service plan takes
lot of responsibilities of Of the
owners mind. Some owners have
thought ii meant they are not sup
posed to pay any attention whatever
to their cars between inspection
dates. Well, that is why some owners
have troubles. When an owner does
report any trouble. the first thing We
ask him is how many miles he had
driven his car since the previous in
spection date. Then We show him
what he should have done. II Is more
than likely that such an owner drove
his car about twice as far as the
average distance an owner covers in
the same period"
