About Our Oil

Prof. Fayette A. Jones, former
ly of the New Mexico School of
Mines, but recently engaged in
Geological research work Alaska
and was secured to make the
Geological Survey of this Mesa

wise regarding the advisability Of

vestigation during the five days
spent all over the mesa and made
his report to the Company

is withheld for the present for
business reasons but many men,
bers Of the Co. express satisfac-
ton with the report.
Prof. Jones has been identified

Mexico as an expert Geologist
for many years and has had
much experience in Mexico,

BabyDay

Baby Day at the Roy Union
Sunday School, last Sunday was
a grand success, 62 babies were
enrolled and diplomas issued to
them and half of them were
present. The display of babies
from afew weeks to four years
with their mothers and fathers
was a most pleasing tableau.
Much credits due Mrs. Gertrude
Hedgecock for the success Of
this event and the Efficient
manner in which she presented
the program. Rev. Heaton made
the address Of the occasion. His
happy faculty of always under
standing the situation and saying
the right thing always in the
right place was never more
evident than at this time. Much
good must come Of this move
mant and it will be carried On
as a permanent branch Of S. S.
Activity.

In the head, eyes, ears, back or other
parts of the body and a feeling Of Sc
we're sickness. In NEST Of the cases the
symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover
ing. Some of the patients, however,
develop pneumonia, or Inflammation
of the ear, or meningitis, and many of
these complicated cases die. Whether
this so-called Spanish, influenza is
identical with the epidemics of infuen-
"a Of earlier years is not yet known.
"Epidemfes of influenza have visited
this country since l647. 1t is interest
Ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics Of the dis
ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic
of influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
ilized world. Three years later there
was another fare-up Of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
" over the United States.
although the present epidemic is
called Spanish influenza there is no
reason to believe that it originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at
tention to the fact that the Germans
mention the disease as occurring along
the eastern front In the summer and
fall Of 1917"
How can Spanish influenza" be rec
ognized?
There is as yet no certain way In
which a. single case OF Spanish infu-
enza' can be recognized. On the 9th
er hand, recognition is easy where
there is group of cases. In contrast
to the outbreaks Of ordinary coughs
and colds, which usually occur in the
cold months, epidemics of influenza
may occur at any season Of the year.
Thus the present epidemic ragged most
intensely in Europe in May, June and
July. Moreover, in the case Of ordi-
nary colds, the general symptoms
(fever, pain, depression) are by no
means as severe or as sudden in their
onset as they are in influenza. Final
~, ordinary colds do not spread
through the community so rapidly or
so extensively as does influenza.
"In most cases a person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. He feels weak, has pains in the
eyes, ears, head or back, and may be
sore all over. Many patients feel
dizzy, some vomit. Most Of the pa
tients complain of feeling chilly, and
with this comes a fever in which the
temperature rises to 100 to 104. In
most cases the pulse remains relative

My pants, too, are seatless-
But, Oh he'll, how 7 hate the kaiser.
