RICH, BUT DOESN'T KNOW IT
Sailors Farm in Texas Turns Into
Oil Lake While He's
Gone.

Eastland, Tex-Somewhere on the
Seven Seas Eli Perkins is by all odds
the richest man in the United States
naval service. knowledge Of his big
fortune has not yet come to him. His
father has been trying to locate him,
but what warship he is on has not
been learned.
When Perkins enlisted in the navy
more than two years ago, he owned a
farm of so acres north of here. The
soil is poor and has an intrinsic agri-
cultural value Of perhaps $500. When
Perkins entered the navy he left the
farm in charge of his father, with full
power to act in all matters connected
with it. With the first indications Of
an oil boom the elder Perkins leased
the 80 acres for 20 cents an acre, re-
tanning for his son the usual one
eighth royalty of any oil that might
be produced.
When the field began to develop one
half of the one-eighth royalty was
sold for $4,000 cash, which sum was
"a posted in local bank to the credit
Of young Perkins. Now the big thing
has happened. The Sinclair Gulf Oil
company. which has lease on the 80
acres, has brought in the largest well
upon the tract that there is to be
found in any Of the central west Tex
as fields. 1t is producing crude petrol
cum at the rate Of 10000 barrels a
day, each barrel valued at 1925. The
present income Of the young man Is
about $1,000 day, and with the bring
ing in Of other wells upon the farm
it may be increased several times this
sum. He could easily dispose of his
royalty rights for 100000.

Scheme to Fool the Taste
When Swallowing Medicine

Yet another attempt has been made
Of devising some scheme whereby
patient may take disagreeable medi-
cine without tasting it. In the new
idea a tiny cup is provided which is
dipped inside an ordinary tumbler.
The medicine is placed in the inner
cup, and the tumbler filed with wa
ter. The inventors idea is that the pa
tient simply drinks the water, where
upon the medicine also flows out, and
floating upon film of water, is swal-
lowed down, without coming into con-
tact with the tongue.
