NEW WELL NEAR PAOLA
Stimulates Waning Interest in Miami
County Oil Field.

Paola, Kan, Jan. levels which
produce $50 barrels of oil when they
are brought in are not infrequent in
the three fields near Paola, but the
well brought in last week on the John
Bell, Jr.. lease five miles west of here
has "a special significance. 1t stimu
lated interest in the oil business in
Miami and Franklin counties because
the oil sand in it was deeper than that
found in other wells.
1t will not be a boom starter.
The oil men here are not that kind.
They are satisfied with the 10 to So
barrel average of the wells, which now
produce several thousand barrels of oil
a day, because the field is shallow.
But the new well will result in tests
outside the tried field.
Miami county was the birthplace of
the Mid-Continent OIL fields. but the
business has only a few friends here
because oil broke" many of the spec
ulators in 1904. Paola, with it's score
somewhat unfriendly to the oil men.
Their paper" is not good at the banks,
the oil men complain.
Indians Discovered the Oil.
Miami county's first oil and gas was
found about forty years ago. No one
knows when oil first was found near
here, for the Indians had tar
spring" northwest of here when the
first white settler came. A pioneer in
the oil business recognized the tar
forty years ago and sunk a well.
Drill rigs are exploring the north
west corner of this county. Perhaps
thirty of them are busy now. There
have been few dry holes either in
the Rantoul Plum Creek or Paola
fields The owners of leases are sur
prised when they do not strike oil or
strong flow of gas.

Much Speculation Indulged in rs to
Whether Deliberations Will be

From War.
TO FIGHT THE SOCIAL DISEASE
Would Intern Sufferers Until Cured
And lncurables Until Close OF
The War.

Des Moines, Dec. 22.-There is much
speculation whether the special ses-
sion OF. the general assembly will con-
fine its deliberations to appropria-
tions for the state institutions and the
consideration of problems arising
from the war.
Many persons said that they did not
believe Governor Harding can confine
the business Of the session once it has
been called 1t is thought that the as
sembly may introduce any business it
is so disposed.
A bill will likely be introduced for
the interning Of all persons ailing with
social diseases during the war Those
ailing with the disease would be in
termed until cured and those suffering
with incurable malady would be held
for the term of the war Punishment
OF physicians who treat social diseases
without reporting the case to the state
board of health will also be included.

Men Whose Only Claim to Exemption
is Farming are to be Put in
Class ], Instead Of in
Class 4.
VIOLATIONS TO BE PROSECUTED
County Attorney Will Insist That all
QuestiOnnaires be Truthfully
Answered.

A good many young men in Hamil-
ton county who are claiming ex.
emption from selective army service
as the head of an agricultural enter
prise-men operating farms-are go
ing to find that, instead of being
exempt they, are in class 1, which
will be the first class called. Gov
ernment rules, defining the duties of
local boards, distinctly state that If
mans only claim for exemption is
that he is the head of an agricultural
enterprise, then he is to be put in
class l, instead of class 4. County
Attorney J. E. Burnstedt today stated
that local boards have no choice in
the. matter and that the Hamilton
cohnty board will do it's best to con-
scientiously classify every man
where he belongs
Many Exemptions Claimed.
A goodly per cent of registrants in
Hamilton county are claiming ex-
emption, while a larger number are
patriotically signing up their ques-
tionnaires without claiming exemp-
tion. Yesterday one young man who
is the sole manager of 800 acre
farm did not ask exemption. He told
the board that he would remain on
the farm if the government wanted
him to- or that he would enlist if
Uncle Sam felt that he would be Of
more use to his country in the army.
On the other hand the board has
had considerable gsrouhle with some
young men who feel entitled to ex-
County Attorney J. E.
Burnstedt is determined, however,
that Hamilton county registrants
must answer their questionnaires
truthfully and to this end he will
prosecute to the full extent of the
law any who return evasive or un-
truthful questionnaires.
Registrants who make untruthful
answers are but inviting penitentiary
There is only one safe
way to fill out the QUESTIONABLE and
that is truthfully and honestly. And
this the county attorney will insist
upon.
