record as real wildcatters when the
history Of oil Is written.
II brings to mind the famous Wild

Perhaps the most startling OF them
all and one that has as much to do
with the development of the Mid
Continent field, as any OF them, was
the original Marland well at Ponca
City. No one here in Tulsa would be-
lieve for minute that well really
existed over there until the bunch
saw for themselves the oil. 1t fol-

the later field at Billings and CARRIER,

This is not written to start an argu-

GROUPING MEN INTO TEAMS

The smallc, unit or team i'm

usually consists of eight mon.
one of whom is leader: he is
called the corporal You will be
ASSIGNED to Il squad almost at
once on entering the Army. At
flrst. you may be shifted about
considerably from one squad to
another, but within short time
you and seven other men will be
brought together as a permanent
team. This means that YOU will
work Together. drill together, and
sleep in the same tent or i'm the
same section of The barracks. You
Twill come to know the other men
IN the squad through and through
land they will become equally we'll
acquainted With you. Some of
them will probably grow to be
your close and lifelong friends.
On the other hand, there may be
one or two men whom you dislike
or do not respect.
In amy case remember this:
The eight men in a squad form a
team i'm the same sense that a
baseball nine or a football eleven
is a team. Your squad is COM

i'm your company. Whenever il

or careful i'm respect to cleanli-

your company; and you may he

squad every minute of the day
not watching for chances to criti-
cize but Watching hopefully for
signs of soldierly spirit and intel
| ligence.
1t is your first duty TO help
your own squad make a good
showing. Also il is to your own
interest to do SO. There is no
more pleasure or. reward for you

next higher unit, which IS called
"a platoon" The platoon, how
ever, is not so permanent as a
squad, but is formed whenever
there is need for il in drilling OF
