none the less clear eyes of youth. Going by
way of France, he caught brief glimpse
of war on the western front before he came

For a time he was detained In Bombay.
Here he put in his time among the sick and

His violin plus his appealing personality

Entering one of the wards with
American cases, the wounded men
were sitting up removing their ban
dages, in order that the directing
surgeon might note the progress.
Some of them were far enough on
the road to recovery to be up and
dressed, and with solderly instinct
they stood rigidly at attention as
the chief surgeon entered. But ev-
cry man OF them, in bed or standing
at attention, was smiling and appar-
emily happy. These smiling faces
gave no evidence Of pain, and of 500
cases visited this morning only two
complained of pain. When inquiry
was made Of the head nurse as to
this absence of pain among hundreds
of men with compound fractures and
ugly gaping wounds from srapnel
and shell, she said there was com
paratively little pain after the first
few days, and then only when the
wound was handled.
The youth of the Americans has
a lot to do, said the surgeon, with
this checrfulncss and proof against
pain. Most of the French poilus are

The Magnolia Petroleum Compan,
is drilling on a portion of the Fow
Ter farm, which it has leased, and i:
down about 500 feet. Carey Willis
and others, Funston No. |, and Bert
Brody No. ! Redwine, are drilling
at around 800 feet. These are al
that are now drilling, it is stated
but there are innumerable other:
that will begin drilling with the new
week, while derricks are going up
overnight, sometimes as many as
three or four to town block.
There are now seventy-five der
ricks up in the town, one being OF,
a residence lot only two blocks from
the Corner Drug Store, the hub OF
the business district. More than
that, many locations have been
made, and it will only be short
time, if the water supply holds out
until it will be impossible to talk
below a shout and have oneself un-
derstood.
The residence district of Burkbur-
nett, if the oil field developments
fulfill the expectations will have to
be moved, for derricks will be in ev-
cry back yard, at the rate building
operations are progressing now.
Many of the Burkburnett farmers
and landowners who have become
wealthy through this discovery on
the Fowler farm have already bought
homes in Wichita Falls, some OF the
finest residences in the city chang
ing hands this week.
1t is estimated that at least sixty
companies have been organized, the
capitalization ranging from $4,000
to 100000, with the land under
lease all the way from the residence
lots to 800 acres.
Construction was begun this week
upon the Fisher -Gilliland Refinery,
which will be located on fifty-five-
acre tract of ground, just adjoining
the townsite of Wichita Falls, to the
north of the Wichita River. This is
the fourth refinery to be built with
in mile and half of this city. !.

operators of this city who are build
ing the refinery, have daily crude

rel refinery at full capacity. The re-
iinery will be privately owned and
no stock has been sold nor will be
sold. H. T. Jones, formerly of
Burkburnett, an expert on refinery
construction, will be in charge of the
work.

ing of them all, was one of the best

heads the list of fiction called for in
public libraries. 1t is peculiarly
adapted to the motion picture. Its
scene is laid among surroundings OF
unusual beauty and grandeur, and
many powerful situations of the

The principal characters in "The

knew in his five years experience in
Alaskan mining camps. Hence his

of the French poilu. The Americans
have none of the drawbacks of their
French brothers, and hardly man
is over 80, while most of them are q
and Is. This gives buoyancy that
even love of country cannot supply
and the doctors find it more OF a
tonic and restorative than all the
medicines.
Has 65 Wounds.
One of the American marines who
was in the fierce engagement early
in June has the remarkable record
of 65 separate wounds, most of them
small from splnters of shell, but
each separate wound needing atten-
ton. He smiled with pride as the
surgeon spoke of the unusual num-
Der of his wounds. Like all the 9TH
ers he was anxious to be up and to
get back to the fighting. It seems
to be common instinct, not
through bravado, says the doctor
but a genuine expression OF red
blooded American youthfulness and
enthusiasm to get back into the
game. the most fateful game the
world has ever known.
But the instinct to be up and do
ing became very real to the Amer
ican marine sieved with 65 wounds.
when the chief surgeon mentioned
that two holiday entertainments
would be given for the wounded.
(Which would you prefer" said
the surgeon, "the afternoon tea or
the sparring match?"
"The sparring match, sir, every
time" was the quick response.
And so it was arranged that the
man with 65 wounds should go to
the sparring match. 1t was the same
with all the others well enough to be
about. Most of them wanted the
sparring match, though lew chose
the afternoon tea on the hope of get
ting ice cream. They fairly beamed
at the prospect OF an outing. 1t
would do them good, the surgeon
said. and any damage from fatigue
would be offset by the recreation.
Even those wounded with bone
fractures were so anxious to take
part in the exercises, that some of
hem had their splints adjusted for
moving about, and prepared for the
lay of outing.
