WILL TRY FOR OIL
IN TEXAS COUNTY
Company of Liberal Business Men
Backing Proposition-Test Well
Will Be Drilled Fifteen Miles
Southeast of Guymon-Local Cap
ital Also Invested.

]. R. Craig and E. G. Warfel have
been in Guymon this week represent
ing the Beaver Oil & Gas company
which company proposes to drill 6
real test well about FIFTEEN miles
southeast of Guymon, and these gen.
tlemen are explaining their PROPOSE.
ton to our business men and quite
a number of the best men in the town
have put up money to assist the en-
terprise.
The president of the company is j.
E. George, president of the First Ma
tional Bank of Liberal, and this is
assurance that there will be a real
test made.
It used to be purely gamble to
drill an oil we'll, but within the last
few years it has become an entirely
different proposition. Today no one
will drill without first securing geo.
logical survey Of the locality; and
statistics show that about So to 80
per cent of the oil wells drilled when
located scientifically are productive
of gas or oil, and no less an authority
than DIR. ]. W. Beede, for nine years
professor of geology in the Indiana
university, has examined the struc-
ture in this region and highly recon-
mends the drilling of deep test.
1t is evident that this region is
looked upon by the big oil companies
as practically an assured field from
the fact that the Empire Oil & Fuel
company has secured more than six
hundred leases in Texas county alone
and has leased millions Of acres of
land in the surrounding region, and
also that the company has actually
paid up its first rentals.
The Traders Oil company Of Cali
fornia is now drilling three miles
west of Liberal, Kansas, and several
other of the larger companies, such
as the Prairie Oil & Gas company
and the Gypsy people are interested
in this region and will probably soon
make location and start wells, so it
is evident that we are in one of the
most promising regions ever found.
It is evident that this home COM
pany intends to open up this field if

KANSAS BANKERS FOR
365-DAY ROADS
Resolutions Endorsing Plan of Doing
Preliminary Work Now Passed
At Annual Convention
Last Week.

The Kansas Bankers Association
at their annual convention at Hutch
inson May 21-22 passed the following
resolution:
Resolved that we endorse the
state wide campaign of education
looking to the building Of 365-day
roads on all the Federal Aid and
main market highways in Kansas.
We realize that war conditions will
hinder the construction of these
roads but we approve the program of
doing the preliminary work at this
time so that actual construction may
begin without needless delay as soon
as war conditions will permit and
Justify"
This is a sensible and patriotic
stand to make a big campaign in
Kansas that will some day mean the
starting of road building program
that will lead to the construction of
many thousands of miles of roads.
While Kansas leads all but four
states in the matter Of value of farm
products she stands almost at the
foot of the list in the matter of $685.
day roads.
AS rule it requires from ten to
eighteen months to do the prelimin-
airy work of securing petitions,
checking and approving the same,
surveying, making estimates and
state and Federal inspections and
building grades, culverts and bridges
before the hard surface can be con-
structed. With so much time re-
quired to "get ready" every friend
of good roads believes that now is
the time to secure the petitions and

WHIP, TAR AND FEATHER
A RED CROSS STACKER
Council of Defense Chairman Pre-
scribes Drastis Punishment
for Rabid Farmer


FIFTEEN lashes across his bart bach
and legs, and coat of tar and fea.
theirs, was the sentence pronounced
by C. F. Rose, chairman of the Coun-
Gil of Defense of Hooker in the trial
of B. w. Maris for calling the Red
Cross society an institution for graft
and not having backbone enough to
protect his wife and family from raw
ishing Huns if they required it.
Maris is a farmer living in the
Hardesty district, eighteen miles
south of Hooker. He has made sew
eral statements in regard to the Red
Cross being an institution of graft
and stated he would not donate to
the Red Cros on account of it being
a huge graft and an organization
backed by Catholics. He also stated
that he would not carry arms against
any country and would not lift
hand in defense if his home were en-
tered by the Huns and wife ravished
before his eyes.
He refused to sign the loyalty
pledge under any condition and stat
ed that he was living in this country,
paying taxes for the protection of
his home and property, but if he was
murdered he would not expect the
government to take hold of the mat
ter and bring to justice the man or
men who committed the crime. "He
who draws the sword shall perish by
the sword" and for that reason he
would not carry a gun or sword
against the nations at war and would
rather see his home destroyed, his
property confiscated, his wife ravish-
ed, than to lift hand. After re-
ceiving the coat Of tar and feathers,
he was escorted to the city limits and
told never to cross the line leading
into this city.-Hutchinson Gazette.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rose were here Sun
day from Hooker attending the War
Rally.
