RANGER FIELD BEING EXTENDED

Ranger, Texas, March l9.--(Special THE
Ranger, Texas, field continues to occupy the
center of the oil stage. The bringing in of the
Davenport well, which offsets the original
McCleskey well, southwest Of Ranger, has now
established this territory as an oil district
The Davenport well, which reached the sand
at 54l5 feet, is now making better than l,5O
barrels at So feet in the sand. II is the in
tention TO drill the we'll 10 feet deeper, which
will doubtless greatly increase the present
production
The McCleskey well, which was the first
we'll drilled in this district, is now making
better than 900 barrels a day after being in
over five months.
The Hagerman and Suddeth wells, north
and east of Ranger, are both making oil and
deeper drilling will be done
The Prairie Oil and Gas company which
owns a substantial interest in the field, is
under contract TO drill fifty wells in addition
to the twenty-three now being drilled by the
r. & p Coal company
The Prairie and Magnolia companies are
erecting ten S5OOO-bar steel tanks to care
for the production, which insures an imme-

 TO DEATH

This is not g story of traitor or German spy. It is the amazing recital case of Bright's disease. The doctors said it could not be cured His con-
 ditlon was pronounced hopeless, not only by private physicians, but also
 by doctors at the hospital. He went nearly blind. On advice of physicians he started to a noted hospital in New Orleans to have an operation perform ed on his kidneys. But he never arriv- there. He got so much worse on the train that the train crew put him off thinking he was going to die. A good Samaritan took him in, nursed him and gave him medicine restoring him to health. If you are afflicted with Bright's disease, or any disease of the kidneys or bladder, by all means write for a free copy of the Hobo" booklet containing the story of Joe O'Brien, as we'll as sworn testimony from many others who testify they have been absolutely cured by the Hobo Kidney and Bladder Remedy.

who contemplated installing it in a country home. The war interfered with his plans and the tub was stored in the barn. The owner of the barn converted it into storage bin.
 After some persuasion the major bought the tub and had it cleaned and set up in his billet. Running wa ter was an impossibility but by heat ing large kettle full each morning the major has been able to obtain sufficient hot water for his morning bath. When the owner of the barn learned that the major was taking a bath each morning he commented on the funny ideas of those barbaric Americans" Other American offic- CTS in the same town have learned of the majors discovery and the bath tub is now working on full time war basis.

 Games train the senses at the same time that they afford keen pleasure A mother can play many games with her child without interrupting her work. Dramatization is wonderful stimulus to the imagination, and num- berless stories lend themselves to this form of reproduction. 'Bartara Fritchie" was enthusiastically played by the children of one kindergarten. A chair formed the patroiot's house; she leaned over the back waving her flag solemnly; Stonewall led his army past; the dialogue was fervently spoken and the army marched on.
 At one small boys party, he and his father acted several Uncle Remus and "Just So" stories, to the delight of the gues.s. Of course, the spirited inter- acuaintance with it.
 The kindergarten, aiming as it does to relate the limited world of the small person to the larger world about him, to quicken his appreciation of parents and all world-workers. to deepen his wonder and reverence for natural phe nomena. is much more than mere place of amusement. The home can be made more than this also.

In consequence, hundreds of officers and men are going without their GUS tomary daily baths and some consider themselves lucky if they can get one hot bath week. Shower baths are being installed in some places but the demand far exceeds the supply. j.
 An artillery major was recently bil- leted in a small town which did not possess single serviceable bathtub. While supervising the transformation of a barn into billet, he came across bathtub filled with potatoes. He learned that it ha dbeen brought there just before the war by an Englishman,

The mother of small children who does not live within reach of kin dergarten need not feel compelled to deprive her little ones of the pleasures and beenfits of systematic training. It is true that the stimulus of CO., operative work and play, so vital a feature of the kindergarten, is not so apt to be found in the smaller group at home and is entirely lacking in the case of the only child. Neverthe- less, many of the activities provided in kindergarten can be carried on ont only by the small group but by the lonely child as we'll.
 Come let us live with our child ,ren" is the old familiar Frebelian slo- gan. We might paraphrase it be say ing, Come, let us sing with our child ren!"
 Why shouldn't children sing morn- ing greetings to father and mother as we'll as to teacher? Even 2-year olds that I know can sing them and delight in doing so The good morning song to various members of the family, to the new day, to sun clouds, sung while dressing do much to create a sunny morning atmosphere. There are songs to accompany many of the home duties. besides a wealth of nature songs. At bedtime the devotional spirit of the evening prayer may be en- hanced by the singing of a child's hymn Songs such as these can be found in "Games and Music of Froe- bels Mother Play,' and in other kin dergarten song books. Any good li- brary would have some of these, or it would be possible to buy copies thru 9 bookstore.
 A kindergarten calendar may easily be made at home. For this purpose a sheet of white card board is ruled off into sufficient number of blank squares for the days of the month. The children mark the calendar each day with suitable emblem. Yellow circles should be provided for sunny days and gray for cloudy. Tiny um-
