Casing for Deep Well This Week,
Look For Stock Advance

H. S. Johnson, secretary of the Des
Laos Western Oil Co., informs the In
dependent that by the end of the week
$4,000 worth of casing for the new
deep oil we'll to be sunk by the COM
pany on the Blom farm west of Des
Laos, will be on the ground. Arrange
ments are being made to work on this
well at an early date.
The company has been extending it's
leases and now has an immense terri
tory leased. Seven other oil concerns
are endeavoring to secure leases in
the vicinity.
Work on checking the field is going
on and as soon as this is completed
the derrick will be erected for the deep
well.
Mr.. johnson hints that the stock is
certain to take an advance within a
few days. Many outside parties are
buying stock. This is not a stock-sell-
ing proposition, but with the present
prospects so bright, there is certain
to be an increased demand for the
stock.

MAKE A SMOOTH ROAD BED.

To make a smooth road bed, it is
necessary that the soil be put on in
layers, and each layer smoothed and
if possible, packed before the next
layer is added. When the soil is
dumped on the road in heaps and then
leveled, the surface will be wavy.
This causes harder hauling, more
wear and tear on vehicles, more dust,
and water will be held in the low
places which will soften the soil and
make starter for a rut.-Agr. Elk

Officials of the Liberty Loan in this
state are confident that the state will
do it's bit towards subscribing it's quota
to the loan. Governor Frazier and
former Governor Hanna, chairman of
the commission, believe that an over
loan may be subscribed. Based on
population this states share would be
about fifteen million, but as it is neces-
sary to have large amount of funds
for the crops, the states quota is
placed at one million five hundred
thousand.

Evil gains are as bad as a loss.
Courage, conduct and perseverance

Though thou hast ever so many

How to Clean Your Ice Box

The August Woman's Home Com
panion says:
You will want a pan OF water
boiling on the stove. bottle brush,
and cleaning cloths. Choose time
when the ice is reduced to a small
piece. Take it out and wrap it in
clean towel or absorbent paper. Take
out the drain pipe and the trays on
which the ice rests. Scrub them with
soap and water, using the bottle
brush for the drain pipe. and then
put them into the boiling water. Let
them boil while you wipe out the ice
compartment with cold water-no
soda will be necessary here, for no
grease goes into this compartment
then follow the damp cloth with a
dry one Take the trays and drain
pipe out of the boiling water and
drop them into a pan of cold water
to chill. Wipe them as dry as posi-
Bile, return them to the ice compart-
ment and replace the ice. Drying
the ice trays may seem foolish, but
it is good economy Of ice and food
as we'll as good bacterology. Empty
and clean your drip pan, or, if your
refrigerator is connected with a drain
in the floor, clean that. Remember
that water in the drip pan is simply
stagnant water in dark place, a ia
vorite medium for all sorts of organ
isms. A very little chloride of lime
will help to keep it wholesome, but
| frequent cleaning with hot water is
! better"

To help the dead.
But there are those who live. whom
you can spare
a little of the agony they bear
For you-that's true; have you not
thought how true?
For you.
These, who have learned how much
body and soul endure,
Their church bells were as sweet as
ours,
Their gardens were as glad with
flowers,
Their women We're as pure,
Their childre sang and laughed
and playeS
AS merry ana as unafraid-

The lesson being hard, you fell

We shudder and we weep-but tears
are cheap.
More, more than tears must pay the

! To those whose bleeding breasts have
been our shield,
A wall that will not yield.
God knows this moment is too deeI
