PROSPECTS FOR OIL


Clovis has plenty of chances now to
get a deep teAt well put down. All
around us plans are being made to
sink wells and at least some of them
should succeed. Should oil be dis
covered most anywhere within a rad
ius of 100 miles of Clovis, we would
get the benefit on account Of our
superior railroad advantages. A real
producing oil well within one hundred
miles Of Clovis would mean that the
town would double in population
within a year and here's hoping these
oil prospectors find a gusher

To Be No Drop
in Ford Prices


H. E. Roster, local distributor for
the Ford Motor Co., attended the
banquet given at New Orleans last
Friday evening. Mr.. Ryan, sales
manager for the Ford company, also
attended the banquet, as well as a
hundred or more representatives Of
the Ford from Louisiana, Mississippi
and Texas. The sales manager stated
that the Ford company was $4,000
o-ders behind and that it would be
necessary for dealers to send in their
signed orders before local distribu-
tors would be sent any cars.
Mr.. Ryan stated that there was
nothing to indicate that there would
be any decline in the prices of the
Ford cars and also that the talked Of
new Ford was still a myth and could
not be on the market before three
years hence.

$4,000 Quota for
Local Methodists

If system, plus organization and
hard work. viii get results, certainly
the Methodists of Bogalusa will
raise their part of the s35,0O0,O00
that is to be raised by Southern
Methodists during the next fiveIyears
for missions and reconstruction work.
Rev. A. j. Gearheard has completed
the local organization as follows:
B. d. Tally is minute-man for
the local organization. AZ each
service some phase of the mi&Sionary
program is discussed. Others leaders
in this minute-men brigade are: W..
S. Warren of Varnado and G. r.
Pope of Angie.
Besides being in charge of the min
ute-men, Mr.. Talley has been appoint
ed campaign manager. It devolves on
him to so organize the membership
Of the church that each person will
have a chance to make a pledge to
missions to cover five annual gifts.
The amount the leaders believe the
local congregation will give is $10,-
600. This quota was fixed by the
presiding elder, Rev. J. G. Smelling,
and the conference missionary secre-
tary, Rev. N. E. oyner, after having
considered the numerical and finan-
cial strength of the Methodists here.
All over Louisiana Methodist
churches have accepted their allot-
ment without murmur. It is con-
fidently believed that when the re-
turns for May are in, Louisiana will
have pledged not less than $1,000, 900
to missions. 1t is the opinion Of
Methodists here and all over the
South that the church must not falter
now, but that she must meet the call
for a worldwide program. Such q
program has been made and unless
the individual Methodist falls down
at the giving end of the plan, the
Methodist Church will stand in the
front rank of denominations as
great missionary church.
