Brownwood (TeXas) News Bulle-
tin; Drilling is continuing in the
Burford 4 Brimm we'll on the Capps
farm at about 900 feet. 1t is prob
able, however; that the drilling will
have to close down temporarily
soon, while awaiting y l-2-inch cas-

we talk in fives and tens. When you
consider that Texas is one-twelfth
the size OF the United States, includ-

right to talk like they were the

"There ought to be several wells
drilled in during the coming month.
1t must be remembered that all OF
the good stuff is deep; that the
depth of the big we'll at Ranger is
more than 5000 feet and the forma-
ton, although regular, requires a
lot of time. And also we must re-
member that materials are still
rather hard to get and do not grow
on trees like they used to do when
we were developing the Glenn pool
and Gushing.
"All OF the big companies are in
the game around Ranger and they
are making it rather expensive.

The Ardmore Lubricating Oil
Company has completed we'll in
section Q ls2w on the sand found at
% feet. This is a small sand, only
about three feet thick but is very
prolific, the oil standing in the hole
30 or 40 feet high. This well has
not been tested for daily produc-
tion, but looks as though it will
easily be good for at least one bar
rel daily. An interesting fact in
connection with this we'll is that
there is no water in it, Heretofore,
drilIers in this field have gone right
through this sand into water, and
there has been no attempt to de-
yclop it, The oil is very high in
lubricating qualities and should
bring a high price on the market.

SEDITION.

When the nation Is at war, no
man, honored by holding public Of
fee, has the right to attack the
President or the army raised for
the nations defense. Senator La
Toilette has virtually sneered at
President Wilson and insulted our
brave boys In the army by his
sneering reference to the new
Pledged soldier in his first khaki. ."
At the expense Of the government
for printing and distribution. he is
flooding the land with 800. 900 cop
les of his speeches attacking the
government, its conduct of the war
and the Liberty Loan by which the
war is to be financed. For such Of
fenses expulsion from the Senate is
the mildest punishment that should
be inflicted. 1t might be well 20
censor the mail of all the members
of the little group of wiIfu! men"
who opposed the first protective
measure against Germany. The un-
fortunate accident in which Senator
Hastings of Wisconsin lost his life
has brought to the front in that
great State the issues OF the war
in which Senator La Toilette has so
grossly misrepresented his common
wealth. Organizations throughout
the State have already repudiated
La Toilette, and we believe that. in
the special election for Senator
Hastings successor, the voters of
Wisconsin will hasten to prove
themselves loyal Americans and
supporters of the war and that they
will do this with an emphasis that
will not be misunderstood by the
iunkers OF Germany,
