have either been sunk where the
structure was not favorable to the
occurrence Of oil or gas or have not

The structure of the Central Great

It seems that we are going to have
to go away from home to learn the
oil dope. Last weeks Liberal News
contained a lot of dope about Id
barrel well at Kenton, said a man
had been out here from Liberal and
confirmed the report. Now, we do
not doubt the man thinking he saw
a gusher, but think, he being from
bone-dry Liberal, that the gusher he
saw was behind mahogany bar in
Clayton, as no one in this county
has seen a flowing oil we'll about
the county anywhere. 1t hasn't hap
pened yet, but will, only 1900 in
stead of Is bbls.
The Segregated Well No. 1 in 22-
Al is underreaming at 2100 and that
means that they will go deeper, and
expect to have to go quit bit deep
er before striking the precious fluid.
1t is reported that the indications
were entirely favorable when they
quit drilling a week or two ago. The
Empire we'll is not so very active and
the drillers are as noiseless as
bunch of CLAIMS. They are either do
ing something or they are not. The
fact that the Empire has leased hum
dreds of thousands of acres of land
in this and adjoining counties makes
it look like they expect to strike
something. Here is hoping they do
pronto. Cimarron News.

The days mostly all seem the same.

Tuesday, July 81, by the Rev. Clyde
H. Imman, pastor of the st. Pau
Methodist church, of Colorado

the bridal chamber of the "Cave of
the Winds"
The bride wore beautiful suit of
gray silk annd a pictu/ hat of white
satin. She, with her parents, had
gone to Colorado Springs for few
weeks vacation. Mr.. Boles met them
there at a later date where they were
married. The wedding came as a
surprise to their many friends.
The bride is the second daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. L. V. Bardner. She
of Mr.. annd Mrs. L. V. Gardner. She
young woman. She attended Bethany
College last winter where she spec
ialized in music.

Mae, of this city; Miss Evelyn Boles,
of Lafayette; Joseph Abbott and
Richard Elliott, of Colorado Springs,
Colo. and Carl ] Anderson, of Sioux

The "Cave of the Winds" where
the wedding took place, is very in
teresting and unusual. 1t was dis
covered by two small boys in 1880.
There are sixteen rooms in the cave.
The walls are lined with several kinds
of minerals. 1t is all natures own
work, and the words fail to express
the maginficence of it all, those WHO
have been there say.

RISK REDUCED TO MINIMUM
With More and Better Live Stock
Farming Will Be More Profitable
in the Southwest.

The growth and importance of agri-
culture in the Southwest largely will
depend upon the live stock industry In
this part of the country. There will
be years when crops are large and
markets satisfactory; there will be
other seasons when for various rea-
sons farms will not be as remunera-
tive as the managers have reason to
expect. This has been the history Of
cropping everywhere so far as we
know. The same will be true of other
business more or less dependent upon
farming.
But with more and better live stock
farming win be more profitable and
all business prosperous as a result of
greater production on farms. BY rails
ing animals of the right type and Of
the proper kind risk will be reduced to
a minimum. The manager that invests
in breeding animals and equipment
will need more capital than where
crops only are grown, but these in
vestments, if properly made and care
fully managed, win bring In better
profits and place the business of farm
ing upon safer basis.-Farm and

ORIGIN OF sHORTHORN RREEp OF CATTLE

Shorthorn cattle, like their Anglo
Saxon owners and fmprovers, are Of
composite origin. Authentic history
Of the breed began about the middle
Of the eighteenth century, though ira
dition represents these cattle as ex-
listing in the northern counties of Eng
land as a much earlier time. For sew
eral centuries preceding the formative
period Of the breed in the counties Of
Durham, Lincoln, York and Northum-
berland early known as North UNI
bria-the kingdom had been success
sively conquered, ruled and plundered
by the Roman. Saxons, Scandlnavians,
and finally by the Normans, led by
William the Conqueror.
The strongest and best elements Of
these conflicting, warning nationalities
were blended and refined In the cru
chile Of succeeding centuries into a
race of people that has led the civill-
zatlon Of the world. SO were the best
elements Of bovine development In
North Umbrla selected by intelligent
husbandmen and refined by a long
process of intelligent breeding and
careful development into the modern
breed Of shorthorn cattle. This brief
outline does not presume to be his
tory Of shorthorns, and so cannot
