GOES TO COLORADO

E. D. Cooper left Liberal Monday
morning in his Buick six for three
weeks outing in Colorado. He will
attend to some land business for Mr.
Baughman after which his wife, who
is now visiting in Eastern Kansas
will join him at Denver, and togeth
err they will go up in the mountains
and look for a camp ground.
The next thing we hear from Ear
is that he is either living on Wild Cat
Point, which is on Lookout Mountain
west of Denver, or that he has estab
lished his residence on Pixies Peak
provided the Buick can climb thai
little hill.
Mr.. Cooper gives his friends ar
excuse for going to the mountains
that he is affected with hay fever
We suppose that this, as an excuse
is about as good as any, but the bunch
in the Office think that he is merely
tired of work.

OIL PRODUCTION COMES
CLOSER TO SEWARD CO.
Well is Brought in Near Isabel in
Barber County, Kansas

We are reliably informed that an
oil well has been brought in within
the last few days near Isabel, Barber
county, almost straight south of
Pratt. This brings the oil field near
er to Seward county than ever be-
fore.
The we'll has not been bailed out
but every indication is that it will
be a heavy producer. The sand was
picked up at a depth of trifle over
1000 feet, exploding the theory that
wells in this section must necessarily
be deep ones.
According to biologists the forma-
tons are exactly the same here as in
Barber county.
In the Barber field they are finding
the high grade oil at about 1000 feet,
and at Woodward it is found in the
lower strata of the Red Beds or
Permian formation. Two thin sands
saturated with oil were found two
miles northeast of Amarillo, Texas,
at depth of less than 1000 feet.
1t seems to be an established fact
that the Empire company found oil
in their wells Is miles north of Boise
City, in Cimarron county, Oklahoma,
and good flow of gas was found in
another well in Cimarron county
southeast Of Kenton.
1t is reported on good authority
that there is a showing of oil in a
we'll being drilled at Hartland, Tex
as.
According to biologists these are
all near the place of the Permian
formation, with nearly 1000 feet
Of Pennsylvania formation below,
and in which is found all the oil that
is found in the eastern Kansas and
Oklahoma fields. This formation is
the same as in this section, and there
is just as good reason to expect that
oil will be found here.
Unless the precedent is broken the
first % production in this field will
be gotten by home company, as the
big operators seldom bring in a field
when it is discovered, and this is one
reason why local companies should
receive The encouragement of the
people.
The location. of the above wells
makes the proposition of the Beaver
Oil & Gas Company, local organiza-
ton, look mighty good at present
and the stock of the company is 60

Buying War Savings Stamps has
three-fold value-it helps the govern
ment, it helps you form the saving
habit, it gives you the best investment
for the money. Is there any posi-
BILE reason why you should not buy?
If there is, talk it over with your
banker.

Rich FROM GARBAGE,

Those who live near cities or towns
where there is no systematic method
Of garbage collection or reduction,
would do well to look to garbage a. Q
feed for hogs or chickens, the Food
Administration states. The Food Ad-
ministration has instances Of numer-
GUS men who have made money from
feeding garbage to hogs. One man
who collects garbage from hotels and
from house to house in Wichita made
q huge profit last year as he got his
feed for nothing. Another man near
Kansas City, Kan, has grown wealthy
feeding hogs garbage.
Here is a letter to the Food Admin
istration from a man who fed chick
ems on garbage.
"I feed a flock Of free-range pull
let's" this poultryman writes, "fof
four months July, August, Septem-
Der and October) each year on house
garbage, and in November they 60
into the laying house in excellent con-
dition. do not feed garbage "a
chicks until they are strong and well
feathered. Furthermore, It can b
fed successfully to young stock only
during the warm months. Eating wet
garbage chills small chicks in the cold
spring or fall months.
1--WE have two movable platforms
on our range in which the garbage d
fed. A two-horse team drives up and
deposits the loads in barrels on each
platform. We then spread the gar
bage out on the platforms two or
three times q day, and let the chick
ems pick it over thoroughly each time.
At the end Of the day we scrape the
platforms clean. So thoroughly Is
the garbage picked over, that there
remains scarcely bushel from an en-
tire load.
"The other grade Of garbage-ho-
tel garbage-is fed young stock in
v-shaped troughs. When feeding ho-
tel garbage which has much water In
It, I stir in twelve quarts of bran to
about go quarts Of garbage and mix
well before feeding.
1--WE have our layers in free-rangs
flocks, 1000 in flock. Their feed
consists for each flock Of 72 quarts
/ (6 pails) of hotel garbage in the
morning. At noon they are fed the
same and at night about SO quarts Of
grain. Dry mash is kept before them
at all times. Flocks fed this way
