AT MOUND VALLEY The Mound
Valley oil fields We're again widenod
today by the bringing in of two new
oil wells one a 40-barrel well shot to-
day on the Poole farm In the south
west corner of 2g-l-IS about miles
east in the northwest corner of 6-33-
20. This last well is in wildcat terri
tory and is causing considerable in
tcrest. The sand was struck at 800
feet and a fine show of oil was found
for feet when the rig was shut down
until the owners can come to superin-
tend the further work. The well
brought in Saturday one mile east of
town is showing up in fine shape and
is good for 25 barrels a day or better.
There is wild scramble for leases in
the vicinity and parties are busy leas-
ing even the town lots here in Mound

A gripping drama Of the north woods
from the fascinating story by Russell
E. Smith.
Donald Mckenzie, renowned as a
guide, is poet and dreamer. He wor-
ships nature and is a man OF great
courage and wonderful phys
ical strength John Condor, a
publisher, has his summer home in
the woods and with him is his daugh-
ter Mabel a winsome and pretty girl
from New York. She is engaged to
Maynard Randall. a wealthy New
Yorker, whose god is money. Randall
is backing the father in business. Con
don being on the verge Of financial
ruin. appeals to Randall for help and
is given money. Randall secretly
gIoats over the hold he has on the
father. as Mabel lacks faith in him
in spite Of their engagement McKen-
zie, under an assumed name, sends
his poems to Condor for publication
and they make the publisher rich. In
the woods, Randall makes an enemy
of Mckenzie by trying to take advan-
tage of young girl who is saved by
the guide.
From this point in Russell E.
Smith unusual drama, the story
moves rapidly through a series OF
thrilling events in which the guide and
Mabel are involved in an absorbing
plot leading up to = powerful climax
which results in the undoing of Ran
dali and the development of beautiful
romance with the pretty society girl
and the picturesque guide as the lead
ing figures.
AS the guide" William Russell
adds another artistic triumph to his
list Of splendid successes.
The production is elaborately staged,
abounding in &nagnificent outdoor

A bombing raid, something originat-
ed in warfare by the Canadians, is not
intended for the purpose Of holding
ground, but to gain information, to do
as much damage as possible and to
keep the enemy in a state Of nervous
ness. In this particular raid the chief
object was to gain information. Our
high command wanted to know what
troops were opposite us and what
troops had been there. We were ex-
pected to get this information from
prisoners and from buttons and papers
off of the Germans we might kill. 1t
