Washington, May 20.-The bankers
in many states are realizing the value
of pig club work as a means of ma
terially improving rural conditions,
according to club agents of the L. S.
| department of agriculture. Not few
of the bankers have made ii pos
sble for worthy club members tc
secure pigs on their personal notes.
In this way well bred pig is Sc
cured and the member can pay for
it from the proceeds of the pig as
offspring in the case Of breeding
animal. The member enters into a
| business agreement with the parents
| consent) with the banker and Is
| in this way relieved of the
stigma of charity which is the result
when pig is given outright. This
arrangement is a practical means of
teaching business methods to the ru-
raj young people. 1t is also a char
acter building process, for it is but
natural for boy when treated as
man, to act in a manly manner.
This apparent generosity on the part
of the bankers is in many cases bust
ness acumen. A case in point Is that
of Texas bank. The president of the
bank placed 1926 pigs among the pig
club members of his county. AS re-
suit of the acquaintance made in Sc
curing and placing these pigs, many
new patrons were secured. These pa
irons brought in over $4,000 in indi-
vidua deposits. Needless to say, this
was profitable business for the bank,
but it is also a means that will in
crease with time in its beneficial in
fluence. One OF the Texas papers
states that the banker "has laid the
foundation for a prosperity which VIII
be lasting. The boys that he. has help
ed to get started in the hog business
are now on their feet financially and
before many years they will be making
big shipments of hogs to market each
year. The money received from the
sale of hogs will be expended in fur
ther developing the county. Every
merchant in the county will profit,
the banks will get more deposits, and
the farmers will have more money
with which to further develop their
farms"

companies from the joint contract.
Following a meeting which was held
in the offices of the Crystal Oil com
pany, committee of about twenty
five persons who are urging the ac-
ceptance of the compromise, waited
upon the court and placed the matter
before District Judge w. f. Freeman.
When the matter was outlined TO the
court he set the Bull Head case for
next Friday, when it will be called
in district court and tried upon its
merits. j. l.. Hamon, who brought
the suit to break the contract with
reference to the Bull Head company
opposed the contract from the begin
ming lie gave notice to the COM
pany and also to the attorneys of the
refining company that he would not
submit to the contract to sell oil for
a period of two years at thirty cents,
unless he was forced to do so. He
takes the position that he is wholly
right or wholly wrong, that he is
entitled to the full market price for
all his oil or is entitled to only thirty
cents for the portion contract, and
he declines to enter into any compro-
mise deal and it seems certain now
that at least one of the cases will
be tried in the courts, to test the
validity of the contracts.

Persons who have recently been in
the Loco field in Stephens county re
port that ten wagon loads of material
have been unloaded in the southeast
quarter of section 5-35 which is from
a half to three quarters of a mile from
the producing wells in the Loco field
which are in section 9-S-5 While it
is not known who is planning to do
this drilling, yet it is presumed that
the Lone Star Gas Company is haul
ing in the material. This company
has made its plans to do much drilling
in that locality before the end of the

OBTAINED AN EXTENSION
Gypsy Oil Company Will Drill Through
johnson Gas Sand at Fox.

When the Gypsy Oil company be-
gan drilling on the Matte Morris
lease, which was the second well in
the Fox district in 1928, the com
pany was under contract to have the
well completed by the second of June.
The drilling was delayed and the
company was carrying the large cas-
ing as deep as possible, and in order
to make test for oil beneath the
gas sand it was necessary to obtain
an extension on the contract. That
extension has been granted for a GER
tain consideration, and the siX-inch
pipe will be pulled and the ten-inch
will be set on top of the gas sand
and the well will be drilled through
the sand and a test made for oil.
The well is now at a depth of about
1,69O feet. Several days will be spent
now in underreaming to lower the
large casing, and no interesting re-
ports may be expected for a number
of days.

TO SUPPORT PRESIDENT WILSON

Portland, Aug. 3.-William Hanley of
Burns, candidate of the progressive
party for United States senator in 1914
and known far and near as the Usage or
Harey county, announced today that
he intended to support vigorously Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson for reelection.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hanley char
acterizes Charles E. Hughes, the repub-
lean nominee, as the "Parker of the
republican party"
''Mr. Hughes is not necessity de-
clared Mr.. Hanley. fHe is only pro-
posal to displace that which is already
too strong.
CATER the election is over and the
little excitement cools odwn, Hughes
will be known as the republican Parker.
"Woodrow Wilson is quiet, honest,
sincere, scientific and well educated
political scientist, and in the time of
the present crisis in the European
wars he is most ideal and opportune.
"It's up to the people to reflect him.
"Personally, / am going to support
him to the best of my ability
In announcing his intention to sup
port President Wilson Mr.. Hanley de-
clared that person owadays who says
he belongs to political party is only
capitalizing his opportunities for politi-
cal favors.

Billingsby and his assistant made
the trip from Butte to Boise in an
automobile. We went by the way of
the Payette lakes after leaving Boise
From the lakes we drove with team
to South Fork and Horseback, and then
continued into the Big creek country
En- route we investigated the copper
ore deposits in the Mammoth and
Black Bear groups located II miles be-
low Edwardsburg. We extended the
trip on down to Crooked creek opposite
Monumental, where our party was en-
tertained by the Janson brothers and
shown by them over their recent new
strike rich gold ore. Their holdings
embrace persistent fissure vein in
basic granite ranging from six inches
to width o. several feet and mile
in length, which exhibited some splendid
specimens of gold ore in one tunnel at
a face depth of 100 feet. Selected sam
Piles from this tunnel run several
thousand dollars to the ton, while q

Surveys Made by Men.
GA hurried survey was made of the
most rugged and isolated section of
central Idaho we covered on the trip
by Billingsly. During our investiga-
tions we were lead through the widest
expanse of the great Idaho granite
batholith. The engineer carefully
plated the immediate drainage and
geology Of the route we took. The
most striking feature of his work was
the discovery of the thickest cross Sec
tion of typical Prichard slate formation
ever mapped or recognized.
