hdONDELL, REPUBLICAN LEADER, ASSAILED FOR CONGRESSIONAL.
 INACTI0N STRIKES BACK

Washington, D. C., Oct. 1.-Stung by repeated accusations of Ioafing on the job, Frank w Mondeu, floor leader of the Republican majority Of the House of Representatives has is sued a statement through the Repub- ltcan National Committee denying the charges and attempting to justify his party's inaction. These accusa tions were not confined to Demo cratic Congressmen and newspapers as Re- publican organs joined in the outcry, the general result being some Con- gressional disposition to go to work.
 MT. MondelFs statement, however is not a very conclusive answer to those who are seeking to belittle the ate'' in the minds of Washington observers.
 One of his chief claims, rather vaguely expressed, was the recuction in appropriations. Yet some of his own party members have called at tention to the fact that the present House already has appropriated two billions of dollars more than the available revenues for the ensuing
 fiscal year. Despite the cry of re- trenchnent raised by no less a Re
 publican than James W. Good, chair man of the appropriations committee,
 there is no evidence that his warnin g has had any effect on the House ma
 jority.
 In some instances the Republican leaders announced that millions had been saved in army and navy appro- priations, when the reduction was ex- pected because of the close of the tary and naval forces. In other cases there were reductions which were promptly overturned by the Senate and agreed to by the House in con- | ference committees, but not mention i ed by the Republican leader in issrfne l his statement of economy. In sill I other instances the reductions will amount to nothing at all as they will | have to be met later by the passage 1 of deficiency appropriation bills. MT. Monden refers guardedly to the 1 progress made by the Republicans l in the way of legislation to reduce the | high cost of living. He does not l state. naturally, that the continual | Drodding of the President alone has | been responsible for the little thai | has been done. Also that the Demo l cratic members of the House were 1 responsible for the recent bill con. | ewing additional power to Attorney. I General Palmer coming to life.4

 As the Republicans have indefinite ly postponed consideration of any measure to do something for the soldiers, the Washington critics of MT. Mondell are amused at his refer ences to it. They point out that the so-calIed GIondell-Smoot bi1I-which was a Kidnapping of the measure pre- pared by Secretary of the Interior Lane for the reclamation of land in every section of the country, and the turning over of it to soldiers desiring a farming life-has been allowed to
 die. the Republican GOT leader being unable to rally his own party around
 it. Meanwhile the G. o. P. leaders
 are awaiting the meeting of the
 American Legion in November in
 the hope that the soldiers brains will
 be more fertile than those of the legislators.
 MT. MondelTs statement speaks of tariff legislation as if a great deal
 had been accomplished The facts are that no general tariff bill will be introduced, and all the tariff IegisIa- ton that has passed the House is of
 the ''popgun'' variety, in no wise af-
 fecting the general public and cer- tainly not as regards the high cost of living.

Stupendous date in the history of the world is October 1st, 1921.
 Euseoius Of Caesarea (264-34o A. D. The father Of Church History, the most learned father of the Church af- ter Origen and Jerome, in his Chroni- icon or History of the World down 10 BPS A.D-, placed the Call of Abra- ham upon this day, Oct. 1, in 1921, B.C.
 The word Abraham" means Hath CT of a multitude" Abraham was the progenItor Of the Hebrews.
 What is the Call of Abraham 9 It was when the Lord God appeared to him in his tent life on the ChaI- dean plains, and ''caIIed'' him-bade him leave the country with his fam fly, promising to make of him a great nation. The solemn account of this ''CaIF in ChaIdea (BabyIonta), under the starEt heavens where the me teors run and the planets burn like gigantic jessamines on fire, may be read in Holy Writ, in Genesis NI. Stupendous date in the history of the world, Oct. l, 1921 B.C. Through the faith and obedience of one man not knowing w}l:ther he went, but

DAILY OIL NOTES

lllH==
 Public interest is still maintained in the Kemp-Munger-Allen well south west of Iowa Park, despite unfavor- able reports to the effect that the we'll failed to flow when uncapped last week
 There was posted on the bulletin beard of the oil Exchange and Board of Trade this city, telegram from the Central Stock Exchange of Wichita Falls, today, containing statement said to have been made by J. A. Kemp. According to this state ment, MT. Kemp said he had visited the well with several experienced drillers ard that the drillers still be- lieve that they have good we'll, but that when the well was shut down last Monday, back pressure caused the casing sealing to give way
 When MT. Thomas, the driller," the statement continues. was run ming tine bailer Friday morning, he found the caving had filled the hole to the extent of two feet. Fluid within 50 feet of the top of the hole, with about 200 feet of water, the rest oil. This water either comes out of the sand or from behind the casing, but the drillers believe it has come from a leak and this theory is sup ported by the finding of the shale when bailing.
 "We must first shut the water off. which will be done either with packer or cement before drilling deeper. l want to emphasize the fact that was deeply impressed with what saw last Monday. I saw strong flow of oil about four or five inches in diameter, with high gas pressure and high grade of oil.
 T said last Monday I believe we had good well, and I still believe it. We are only ten inches into the sand, and no one knows how much sand there is, or how much oil the well will make, but am still firmly of the opinion that we have good one.
 My motive in issuing the state ment was to prevent the stockholders from selling at less than value. All oil operations are more or less of a gamble, and I still believe We have Q splendid gamble"
 WICHITA FALLS. - There have been no new developments reported here on the Kemp-Munger-Allen well, near Iowa Park, since late last week, when the well was uncapped and fail ed to flow. An effort VIII be made to make a producer of the present hole, but if this fails. it is rumored that the company will drill another. It has been feared that the first well would be lost on account of water.

Democratic Offices Close Afternoons
 Of Fair Week and
 Republicans Open

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 31.-State offices under Democratic control will close afternoons during fair week. State offices headed by Republicans will remain open all day during fair week.
 This situation developed today at meeting of Democratic department heads, following announcement by Governor Campbell that state offices would remain open all day through fair week. The Democrats had be- fore them a letter from the governor requesting that all offices be kept open all day.
 Those attending the meeting said that as it had always been the GUS tom to close offices during the after moons in fair week they would con- tinue to do so. In reply to Governor Campbell's assertion that the offices ought to remain open to accommo- date persons from other communi- ties the Democratic office holders said such persons could transact their business in the mornings, add. ing the visitors would desire to go to the fair in the afternoons anyway
 The principal offices which will close afternoons are those of the corporation commission, tax commis sion. secretary, of state, treasurer auditor and attorney general. Those which will remain open include of fices of the governor. superintendent of public health, game warden. sealer of weights and measures, state engi neer. highway department, board oi directors of state institutions, state sanitary livestock board.
