CONTRACT AWARDED
FOR SINKING OIL
AND GAS WELLS
AETNA GAS & OIL CO., OF HAMP-
SHIRE, CLOSES DEAL WITH
JOHN BRIDGES.
OPERATIONS TO BEGIN soon
Latest Machine To Be Used BY Con-
tractor, Who 10 Man Of Thirty
Years Experience in the Work.
Worked In Other Fields.

Aetna Gas & Oil Co., OF Hampshire,
awarded the contract OF sinking the
oil wells for the company Monday at
a meeting held by the directors at
Mt. Pleasant, to John Bridges, Of
Louisville, man Of thirty years ex-
perience in this kind Of well boring.
The contract between Mr.. Bridges
and the company Is that he is to be-
gin sinking of well just as soon as
he can get his machinery upon the
ground, and that will be within very
short time. The contract calls for
the sinking of well or wells to the
extent of sufficient number of feet
to assure the stockholders that there
is either oil or gas on the property
under contract.
The hole will be about ten inches
at the top and will finish at aboIt 6A
inches, giving room for double cas-
ing. The stockholders are enthusias.
.ic over the outlook and are anxious
for the actual operations of sinking
the well to begin.
Mr.. Bridges has operated in practi.
cally all of the big oil fields of the
country and is very much impressed
With the Hampshire field. He antici'
pates that for the depth of three te
| i've hundred feet that the work OF
sinking the holes will be rather slow
m account Of the hard limestone rock
that he will have to penetrate before
| strikig the sand layers that usually
underlies the limestone overburden
and oyerlies the oil sands.

CAPT. F. 7. EVANS
PULLS GREAT FEAT
LooPEp-THE-LooP IN SEA PLANE
UNITED STATES MARINE
CORPS. ,

Special to The Herald.
PENSACOLA, Fla, March 9.-B,
looping-the-loop in a sea plane, Cap
tain Francis T. Evans Of the United
States Marine Corps astonished off
GERS of the aetronautical station here
who had considered the feat impossi
Bile. Captain Evans is the first Amer
ican aviator to attempt it.
Although looping the-loop in an or
dinary aeroplane has outworn its nov
city as popular stunt, the heavy pom
toons attached to the air and water
fier hitherto have been a bar to sim.
liar attempts with this type Of ma
chine.
Captain Evans found II necessary
to drive through the air at great
speed before he could gain the inverse
position. He then looped-the-loop
twice before his descent. The ma
chine was a Curtiss tractor.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
CLASS OF CULlEOKA
SCHOOL AASBANQUtT
ONE OF THE BEST ENTERTAINA
MENTs EVER GIVEN BY A
RURAL SCHOOL.
CHILDREN PROVIDE The MENU
Also Contribute The Speeches, Which
Are Of Exceptionally High Order
Various Phases of School Life Dis
cussed.

One OF the most credtable school
entertainments in the history Of the
rural schools of the county was the
banquet given by the domestic science
class of the Culleoka School on Fri
day night. The menu was all pre-
pared by the girls Of the ninth and
tenth grades and would have been a
credit to their mothers or to the
mothers of any other classes in the
county. The menu, it's preparation
and the manner of its service reflected
credit upon the teacher of that de.
partment, Miss Ella Wilkes, who has
demonstrated capacity of the very
highest order as an instructor in the
home arts.
The exercises were all in charge Of
the pupils and their addresses reflect
ed credit upon them and their teach
ers. In every respect they acquitted
themselves in a manner that would
have been entirely creditable to those
many years their seniors.
Among the guests present was Prof.
Oscar l.. Farris, the county agent, and
he declared that he had never attend
ed any sort of a school entertainment
that was of higher order. He said
that he hoped that the event would be
made an annual affair.
The following program was rem.
derea:
Miss Kate Wright-"What Influence
Does Domestic Science Have on the
Children of This Shcool?'
Miss Mary Robison-"Why Should
the Parents Provide the Right Kind Of
Amusement for Their Children"
Harwell Park-"The Opportunities
of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Of
Young Men"
Carroll Evins-"Why we Should
/ Have Military Training in all the
Schools"

Should be a Farm School,"

WETTING is BAD FOR WATCH
At Times It Is. Less Expensive to Put
In New Movement Than to
Clean the Works.

When a person falls overheard or
gets a ducking In any other way he
at once has trouble with his watch, un-
less, Of course, it happens that he be
not wearing it. If he is wise he will
send it at once to a matchmaker. What
the latter can do to it depends upon
the extent Of the wetting and the
length Of time that has elapsed since
the immersion.
The jewelers. Circular says the re-
pairer will take the watch entirely
apart; if there be water still noticeable
he will place all the parts in alcohol
and then clean them. If they be dry
he will put all ordinary steel parts in
benzlne and all plates, bridges and
brass parts in a solution of alkali and
soap.
A repairer receiving watch several
days after its wetting will immerse it
It in coal oil. Then he will decide
whether it will be less expensive to
clean the works or to replace them
with new movement.
