Lee County, Announces Lee
County will be Over
Top in April.

That Lee county certainly VIII go
over the top of her quota OF the
fifth Liberty loan, to be known as
the Victory bond loan and put over
in April, is the core OF the announce
ment made by J. A. S. Pollard, the
Fort Madison banker and director oil
sales for Lee county in the loan cam
paign.
He says that the banks Of Lee
county already hold nearly million
and a half dollars of the treasury
certificates which are the foundation
of the next bond issue. The exact
amount he names is 81, 100000.
That many certificates have been
bought by the banks in anticipation
Of the loan and the April campaign
for the sale to the public OF the VIC
tory bonds.
Ingenious and Valuable Device.
These certificates are sold by the
federal treasury to the banks ana
are payable In May, June and July
AS the big bond issue is sold, It's
proceeds are used to pay these GER
tificates. This furnishes money In
advance and in a continual stream,
rs the certificates are sold every
two weeks Any great disturbance
of the money market is thus avoided.
It is believed that the next bond
campaign will be in April, although
the date has not been announced oy
the secretary OF the treasury.
The banks feel sure that Lee
county will do as well as in previous
big bond campaigns and there will
be no difficulty in turning the treas
ury certificates they now hold back
to the government after the Victory
loan campaign Is completed Lee
county always goes over the top In

SAVE MONEY ON
SHOES FOR THE
WHOLE FAMILY

From Foocfow, China, comes this
letter from r. E. Gardner. Foochow
College: 'tNeolin Soles have solved the
shoe problem for me. Other soles wore
out quickly on the rocky roads here,
and ! had no end of trouble with
them" he writes.
Where other soles fail, Neolin Soles
always stand the test of hard wear and
ough usage. This fact points the way
to economy. Buy Neolin-soled shoes
for the whole family, and so save shoe
money. And have Ne6lin Soles put on
your old shoes, too.
These durable, flexible, and water
proof soles are scientifically made by
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,
Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot
Heels, guaranteed to outwear all other
heels.

ADAMANA CASING

Progress PIeases Stock
 holders.

Secretary w. J. Hennessy of the Adamana Oil Com pany returned to Holbrook from a trip to the Coast where he inspected the hold ings of the company in Ven- tura County. MT. Hennessy reports fine progress in sti- mulating the production of the old wells on this proper ty and states that another new we'll will be drilled inn mediately under the supervi- sion of L. A. Clampitt under whose direction the old wells have been recovered, and a new rig and derrick already put in place for operation, while a second derrick is be- ing also erected. Some 2000 barrels of oil have already been produced from this pro- perty since it was taken over by the Adamana Company and this production is ex- pected to be vastly increased with the new development.
 In the Holbrook Field, Contractor Clampitt is mak- ing every effort possible to get to the required depth to encounder the oil sands. The crank shaft which was re- gently broken has been re- paired and the casing is be- ing placed to shut off the water encountered. By the time this appears in print drilling for depth should be again resumed.

THE NEWS SCORES

During the visit of the Corporation Commission to Holbrook Sunday last, the attention of the Commis- sioners was called to the art icle appearing in our last weeks issue relative to the advisability of extending yearly permits to overlap the filing of applications for re- newal. The Commissioners were unanimous in stating their approval of the sugges- tion. stating further that the matter had not heretofore been called to their attention in this light and that imme- diate steps would be taken to remedy the situation, as it certainly is not the disposi- tion of the Commission to place any handicap upon de- velopment companies who have been granted permits for the sale of stock.
 This reasonable and frank ly friendly attitude of the Commission will be appreci- ated by all companies who are in process of financing at the time renewals of permits are to be applied for, and the Commission is to be congrat- ulated upon it's ready ac- ceptance of suggestions for the betterment of these con- ditions.

 Putney is that he finds it is not compatible to conduct both a wholesale and a retail store; therefore, the abolish ment of the retail business was decided upon as a mat ter of policy and the stock will be packed and shipped to Laguna. 1t isstated there was no fault to be found with the patronage extended this store since it's acquisition by the Putney interests and no other reason for. the clos ing than that above stated.

CORPORATION COMMIS- SION VISITS HOL-
 BROOK FIELD

With a double purpose oi
 granting a hearing to the
 Navajo-Apache Telephone company and of visiting the
 Holbrook oil field, the Cor poration Commission of Ari. zona arrived in Holbrook Sunday last. After the hear ing had been granted the telephone company early in the morning, Commissioners Amos A. Betts, E. A. Jones and D. F. Johnson, having expressed a desire to visit the oil field, they were ac- corded this opportunity and taken to the field by Gov ernor G. D. Meiklejohn, Lloyd Henning and w. F. Woods. Owing to the nec- essity of taking the evening train on the return trip to Phoenix it was impossible to make a visit to all of the rigs now in the field, only the Wind River Hopi and the Holbrook Oil company wells being visited by the party.
 All members of the Con- mission expressed the keen est interest in the topo- graphy and formation of the field, and that they were very favorably impressed with the progress and de- velopment in this field was apparent. It can be said that from the first hand in- formation obtained by the Commissioners that they will be disposed to assist in every possible manner all legitimate development that. has been and may be under taken in this field as the ben eits to the State of Arizona in the event of expected pro- duction will be far reaching and of immense benefit.
 Holbrook was fortunate in securing the visit of the Com mission, and without ques- tion the Commissioners were very much pleased at having the opportunity of obtaining first hand and visual in- formation relative to the field and it's development.
