THE ROMANCE OF OIL

There is an atmosphere of romance
and adventure attached to all delv-
ing after riches in the bowels of the
earth. whether it be The buried treas
ure of pirates, the hidden gold in the
Klondike or the rich oil pools lying
deep under the silent plains of North
Texas. The reckless daring and the
gamblers chance which stakes all
upon the hope of untold wealth has
been abundantly eXemplified in the
Electra field. Many man has gone
to bed pondering how he could raise
the mortgage on his farm and awoke
in the, morning to find the agents
of trusts offering him thousands for
the privilege of drilling some holes
