WHAT TWO LITTLE
 GIRLS CAN DO
Nellie and Mary Berntsen Helped Uncle Sam Some But They Find
 They Helped Selves More.

Here IS a story of two little girls who work in biscuit factory m fotC smith, Arkansas, who are both patri- otlc and thrifty. 1t was patriotism that prompted Nellie and Mary Bent sen to become members of War Saw ings society but now that they are creditors of Uncle Sam, and have greater financial resources than many men, they have learned that patrlo- tism pays.
 In a recent letter to Moorhead Wright, state director for the Arkan- sas War Savings organization, they told of their experience as follows:
 My sister and 1 joined the club when 1t was first organized in April, 1918, and have bought stamps ever since and will as long as Uncle Sam needs help. Many of the girls that started taking them when we dld stopped taking them as soon as the Armistice was signed and scld thcIr stamps. One girl stopped taking them because she had brother that had to go. l have a brother in France lie has been gone ever since July &, 1918, and will be gone six CT eight months longer. He was the only one in the family that could go, and he said he would be ashamed of himself to think that he was the only one that could go and didn't. So he joined the Marines.
 .> has wife and little boy and has not seen either one in over year.
 "I have no father and help support a mother and two brothers that are too young to work.
 "We have bought five Liberty bonds also. l am glad we can do our bit. But never as much as our boys who went over the top."

THREE DISTINCT SANDS.

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 9-Oil operators are showing considerable interest in the recent developments and oil discoveries around Sipe Springs, in the northwestern part of Comanche county. This territory is being developed principally by the Texas company and the Humble Oil and Refining company, which com panies are the pioneers in this par ticular part of Eastland and Conan che counties.
 Two months ago the Texas com pany uncovered sand at depth oi l ,450 feet in it's Maxwell we'll, a few miles north of Sipe Springs A few months before that the Humble com pany had struck oil and gas in it's Gross Mo- l, but the oil flow was soon damaged by salt water. This started big development in the district, which has been followed by the dis covery of oil in the Moorman well of the Humble Oil and Refining com pany two and half miles north of oipe Springs.
 This well has been official report ed as making between 400 and 500 barrels of oil daily at 2,735 feet. The Humble company is drilling other wells on it's Goss tract and the Texas company has gone on down for deep test on the Maxwell tract In all, three distinct producing formations have been found in the Sipe Springs district. The first is the ,45U-foot sand in the Maxwell of the Texas company, the second is the 2,735-foot sand in the Humble's Moorman and the thir dis the 3,275-foot sand in the Humble's Goss. Operators are of the opinion that all these sands will be thoroughly developed.

Millions Needed to
 Develop Petroleum
 Resources of Mexico

Correspondence Associated Press. )
 Mexico City, July S.-The sum of $1 100000 is needed to develop thoroughly the petroleum resources of Mexico says an announcement of the department of commerce and indus try. The amount already invested in the petroleum industry is estimated as in excess of $200,000OOO.
 The department announces that eight producing oil wells with daily flow of 584,798 barrels have been drilled in the Tampico field in the first five months of this year. The department says there is great need of better transportation facilities and that if these were provided the monthly shipments which now amount to 6,0O0,000 barrels could be increas- ed to 17,534,940 barrels. The vast surplus of crude petroleum is stored in the ground awaiting improvement in transportation.

"Fowler's Folly" Resulted in Big
 Oil Discovery

The discovery of oil in the new bu1kburnett field, which precipitatnd the rush to Wichita Falls and led to the opening up of the ether fields in tne vicinity, occurred about the mid ole of July 1918. s. L. Fowler. far hier ana cattleman of Burkburnett. prayed the ridicule and iibes of his 1elloW toWnsmen and in the face of the fact that dry holes had been drilled both north and south of the toWnslte, erected his derrick and be- gan hls quest for oil. The result of hls labors was bringing in of Fowl CTS Folly" the history of which is known throughout the country.
 Burkburnett, at the time the first well was brought in, was desolate. W,!lnd-swept, sun-scorched village but little more than a stopping place on the road from Oklahoma to Texas. The soil was productive whenever enough rain fell to put a season in the ground" but time and again ex- tended drouths and scorching winds had annlhilated the crops and threat ened the inhabitants and their live stock with similar fate.
 Strike Started Boom.
 AS soon as the Fowler we'll was producing interest in Burkburnett be- gan immediately to pick up. Other wells were started and sunk with amazing rapidity. Almost every citi- zen who possessed enough ground to form a base for derrick entered the game, and almost every citizen in the town was we'll rewarded for his la- bors. Wells were brought in behind stores, in garden patches, in front yards, side yards and back yards. In one instance there was not enough room for both house and derrick on the small lot and the owner cut away part of his home to make room for his derrick. For months there was gaping hole in the side of his bed room and two legs of the derrick ex- tended we'll into his sleeping quar- ters. Numbers of porches and out houses were moved or torn down to provide drilling space.
 Little Mans Field.
 One of the unique features of the original Burkburnett field is the fact that the Gil was first located in the townsite and the numerous wells huddled close together are due to the fact that the property had been di- vided into town and city lots, and it was almost impossible to obtain large tracts of land The Burkburnett field has been known as the little mans field," and majority of the large companies held off until the pool had .,,4o and they could purchase or lease land m large tracts.
 From Burkburnett the largest pools have been found northwest and almost to the Red river. Many are predicting that the pools continue in Southern Oklahoma, and land values in that part of the state are increasing as producing wells are brought in nearer and nearer to it's border.

WELL MAKES 900 BARRELS.

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. S.-Re- ports from Desdemona are to the effect that the Brown well of the Comanche Home Oil company, east of Desdemona and in Erath county, is still flowing by heads and making about 900 barrels daily. This is the well that afforded two-mile eastern extension to the Desdemona pool a few days ago.
 The production is coming from a formation about 150 to 200 feet low CT than the level of the Duke sand in the wells nearer the towns of Desde- mona. It probably vii mean that there vii be much development now to the east of Desdemona and in many parts of Erath county.

WILSON WELL STUDS IN.

Wilson, Okla, Aug. S.--Thc new Westheimer well in southeast of southeast 284s-2-w is now drilling at about 200 feet, and the Coline location in northeast of southeast section 2l- 4s-2w has spudded in and will begin to drill at once. A nice showing of oil in the Westheimer well No. was struck, but the company is making preparations to case this off, as they are determined to go the same depth of the Teas producer. This shallow oil was shown at 800 feet.
