Wild Gas Well Largest Yet Known.

Corpus Christi, TeX.-Heroic efforts
are being made to save the big gas
well brought in Friday by the Guffey
Company at its lease in the White
Point field seven miles from Corpus
Christi. Experts who have visited the
field from Houston, Beaumont and
other points are unanimous in their
statements that the we'll without doubt
is the biggest gasser in America, the
estimate of the production being &c.
100000 cubic feet daily. The gas is
dry, there being not a particle OF salt
water. To save the we'll, great quanti-
ties of casing, old pipe and iron and
other heavy substances have been
placed around the well. The casing
has been set for $500 feet in cement
and, it is hoped that this will be suf-
ficient to save the well. No effort to
cap it probably will be made for
week or longer to give time for the
pressure to diminish.

"a YEARS.

We think you will agree that in the in
formation given you all these years we have
never msled you.
Now we advise you to buy whatever
Christmas goods you can conveniently take
care OF as early as possible. for about every
manufacturer and producer is short of goods
and the railroads are over-taXed in bringing
them to us, and it would not be surprising if
shortages and delays would cause scarcity in
the Eastern markets the last few days before
Christmas.
We believe that Christmas Poultry is 60
ing to sell at lower level than the opening
prices at Thanksgiving, but also believe
there is short crop Of Turkeys, and we don't
think if would be wise to delay ordering ex.
pecting prices to go low as in former years.
1t is probably unnecessary Tor us to emu
merate the lines of Ch' istmas goods we carry.
1t would be more sensible perhaps to say, as
there anything do not carry? ?"

PRESTON BRADLEY GAVE
EXCELLENT LECTURE

Preston Bradley, second number on
the local winter entertainment course,
gave a most excellent talk in the
opera house here last Wednesday
evening. His talk should have been
heard by every citizen of Belding. Mr..
Bradley is a deep thinker and knows
how TO place his thoughts into clear
simple language.
Mr.. Bradley proclaimed our present
prosperity as a false prosperity of
the worst type. He urged his hear
ers to think persistently and careful
ly regarding the present business con-
ditions and prepare for the inevitable
result of the close of the war.
Mr.. Bradley recently returned from
