The First Submarine.

The first submarine of which We
have any record was invented by God,
and the first passenger to travel in it
was his disobcdient prophet, Jonah.
This submarine was created and on
hand at the moment Of Jonah's great
est need. Gods providence was over
him even in his sin and God would not
let him perish until after he had time
for serious reflection. In this subrpa-
rine Jonah was the only living pas
scnger, and he had no periscope to
show him what was going on outside
and to distract his mind. Those few
days OF undisturbed communication
with God, while it did not broaden 10
nah into Il prophet with Il world vision,
did lead him to decide to obey Jcho-
yah, and through his obedience to save
his own life for worthy service for
God. The decision being made, Jonah
was carried free of charge in Coos
submarine and landed 1T a point near
est to Nineveh, where he was able TO
do the greatest work Of his .ifc.-Bap-

Credit for Other Fellow.

Tho amount of credit you allow the
other fellow to take for his efforts is
the index for your measure. The lit
tie fellow can't stand seeing the other
man praised. If he has worked in
company with others he wants all the
glory. If there is any prominence to
be handed out he is n perpetual candi-
date. The pigmy mind Is ever trying
to discount the other mans credit.
There ~ so little to him that he needs
all the glory he can get, and gets It
wherever he can. Not so with the big
man. He rejoiccs in the success Of
his fellows. He's glad to see others
rising to his class. In fact, the truly
big man sees bigger when he pays trib-
ute to those not SO big as himself. If
you want to be in his class you must
not dwarf your worth by being afraid
you won't get all that's coming to you.

TELLS HOW TO BATTLE WATER
Wichita Oil Man Explains Methods Used
to Keep Up Oil Flow.

In view of the fact that perhaps 300
wells at Healdton are making water,
the following letter published in the
Wichita Kansas) Eagle is of interest
to Healdton operators:
The damage done to oil wells by
water infiltration results from the dis
placement of the oil by the water.
Water entering an oil bearing sand
tends to displace the oil. If the en-
trance is at or near an oil well 1t fire.
quently forces the oil away from the
well, which would then produce water
serious infiltration of water into
an oil stratum would be likely simi
larly to, affect nearby wells. thus be
coming a serious menace to the i'm
mediate field.
The entrance Of the water into an
oil bearing formation is due to two pri
mary causes. First incomplete knowl
edge of geological conditions surround
ing well and, second, faulty mechan
ical conditions in drilling or maintain
ing the well. There are great many
combinations of these two causes.
There are various terms used in deal
ing with the handling of water in oil
wells, such as formation shut-off, water
string. top water bottom water. inter
mediate water, edge wa-er. etc.
