Graham Field Becoming Active.

1t is becoming quite evident that
the big oil companies are prepar-
ing to follow the geological dope
pertaining to the structure in the
Graham neighborhood, and appear
ances in that section of Carter coun-
ty now give indication that there
will be much activity there this sum-
mer. The Kirk WELL in section 81
2s2w, has been shut in for a gas
ser; the Sparks Oil & Develop
ment Company has the rig complet-
ed for test in section 80 2s2w, just
across the section line from the
Kirk gas well; the Magnolia has
made a location about one and one
half miles southwest of the Kirk
we'll, in section IS 2s3w, near the
center of the east section line, on
fee belonging to Feagin and John
son; the Humble has strong
flow of gas at about 900 feet in the
test on the Ella Williams tract, near
the north center of section IS 2s3w;
the Empire is drilling on the West
ley farm near the center of the
north line of section "a 2s3w, pre-
pared to make a deep test by car
rying the l2-inch casing as deep as
possible. George Chaffee, in section
3 3s3w, in attempting to pull the
casing for an underreaming job,
pulled the tower down and is now
rebuilding. Henry Markham has
two small gas wells in section q
3s2w, and will start deep test there
sometime during the summer. {. A.
Shaeffer is drilling in section 8 IS
2w. Other locations from Graham
west and north are but rumors as
yet but enough work is in sight
to indicate the Graham field will be
one of the interesting points OF Car
ter county soon. 1t will be noted
that the Empire test in section "a
is but a short distance from Gypsy
production in section 80. and this
connects up with other production
in the Fox field, notably in sections
Is and g. AS yet the greater part
of this production is gas, but indi-
cations seem to point to what may
be called the southeast extension OF
the Fox field near Graham, as a
probable oil field Up to the pres
cnt time there has been no test
drilled in this territory that did not
produce either oil or gas. To the
east of Graham, there is one test
started, the aeffer-Naughn, in sec
ton "a 2s2w. on the Lee Gait farm.
Work on this test was stopped
some time last winter, but there is
talk now of resuming in the near
future.

STREET LOAFERS NOT
ANXIOUS TO TAKE THE
PLACES OFFERED THEM

One of the first cases which came
before the Ardmore Labor Bureau
was that of a man with family
who loafed about the pool rooms
till they were closed by ordinance
and who has since been found lott
ering about the streets every day
Yesterday he was brought before
the labor bureau and place found
for him at once with a farmer.
What will you give?" was the
first question of the man who said
he was ready to work. "A house for
Yourself and wife and three chill
dren a COW to milk and 81 day"
And the man absolutely refused
to further consider the offer. This
is not an extreme case but OF many
and that they will be dealt with ac-
cordingly, there is no question.

CAN II BOMB j. s.
CITIES, EXPERT SAYS
BRITON DECLARES 1T I'M
POSSIBLE FOR HUN TO
BRING AIRCRAFT IN
U-BOATS.
(By the Associated Press)

London, June 1.-THE manner in
which the American nation receiv-
ed the latest exhibition of German
submarine frightfulness represents
another defeat for Germany, said
Archibald s. Hurd, in further
statement on the U-boat opera
tions. off the Atlantic coast of the
United States.
Mr.. Hurd, who is well known as
a writer on naval subjects, charac-
terizes as abusrd the notion that
the Germans can carry out air raids
on American towns from subma-
rineS.
"What the Germans have really
done" Mr.. Hurd continues, is to
bring the entire American continent
definitely within the war area. That
is a great achievement, the penalty
of which the enemy will suffer in
due course. He will obtain little
temporary, compensation because
he cannot, owing to the difficulties
involved, make an even limited
blockade Of the American coast.
Can't Bombard American Cities
"Of course. the suggestion tina!
airplanes operating from subma-
rines can lombard American cities
is an absurdity. A bombing air
plane is not a weapon to be carried
in a submersible over 5000 miles.
Even if the difficulty of slowing
could be overcome, how would the
airplane return to its base eevn II
it were not shot down while over
American territory?
at cannot be repeated too often
that America is defended against
the enemy most effectively on this
side of the Atlantic. The German
army. the German fleet and German
submarines can one and all be
fought most effectively in Europe.
