MOST INTERESTING

Altho no further drilling has been

still attracting much attention. The

almost without exception they report
1t looks Ike fine well with osti-
mates as high as $50 barrels.
II flows when agitated little and
the hole stands full OF oil. They now
have one 500 and one 800 barrel
tank up and are building two more
l,6OO size. Until these tanks are up
the well will not be drilled In the
owners say and they deny rumors that
they have secretly deepened the test.
From this distance II looks very
promising.
The Empire Gas & Fuel Co. Just
closed a deal for so acres In the east
half of the northwest Of 1i-23-2w, u
good mile and quarter from the well,
paying $1,000 an acre. other very
fancy prices have been paid.

NO HUNGER IN CITY
THIS CHRISTMAS
Community Club and Boy Scouts
Complete Work and All Families
Are Cared For

There will ebe no hungry families in
Birmingham today, thanks to the un-
firing efforts of the Community club,
the Boy Scouts and the loyal support
of the citizens of the city. 1t was re-
ported last night that every family in
need of food had been cared for.
The Boy Scouts did the actual work
OF distributing the baskets and were
carried over the city in automobiles
which were furnished by members of
the Community club.
1t was feared for awhile yesterday
that there would be a slight insuffi-
cheney, but as soon as the need be-
came apparent the contributions began
to pour in. individuals agreed to fur
nish enough for 200 of the less fortu-
nate homes, leaving a remainder of
about the same number to be supplied
from other sources. The largest dona-
ton came, from Culpepper Exum, who
gave Sl00 to the cause. About the same
amount was also subscribed by the Boy
Scouts in addition to the other work
performed by them.
Every family had been supplied by
last night and the baskets were well
filled. Through the efforts of these
workers many homes will be cheered
TINS morning. the time of peace on
earth and good will toward men,"
