Rehabilitation Makes Rapid Progress

Before the report of the statistical depart
ment of the federal board for vocational educa-
ton can be approved new figures must be insert
ed in the records, because of the rapid daily in
crease in the number of disabled men coming in
contact with the boards officers. The increase
of the work in June compared with the average
increase of the preceding six months indicates
very gratifying progress.

T. F. has been recently reported as 213,4T1. A
large number of these severely wounded cases
are still held in hospitals The vocational Officers
Of the board have made contacts with 146,931
disabled persons, of which number 99,867 have
been surveyed by vocational advisors. Of these
1878 have been reported to the central office
to be approved for training and 5878 have been
placed in training.
The latest distribution of claims given by
the war risk insurance show tuberculosis of the
lungs to be the largest single cause for disability
with total of 1873 per cent; wounds and injuries
to legs not necesstating amputation TIA per
cent wounds and injuries to arms not necessi-
tating amputation 78 percent; heart disease 6.3
per cent; eyesight 4.3 per cent; wounds and in
juries to arms necessitating amputation SO per
cent; nerve diseases and shell shock 80 per
cent; insanity 2.3 per cent; deafness 28 per cent ;
wounds to legs necessitating amputation IA per
cent; wounds to the head 1.3 per cent; oil others
31.2 per cent.
Occupations suitable for every type of dis
ability have been found for the disabled men
who have applied to the federal board for voca-
tional education. If you know of one who is still
discouraged give him the address of the board

ORIGINAL BOOSTER

To W. R. Scorse, the well known Holbrook merchant. be- longs the credit for attracting initial interest to the Holbrook oil field. The strong and con tinued endorsement of his repre- sentations is evidence of his abil- ity to recognize opportunity when he sees it. Mir. Scorse has backed his judgment by becoming ident- flied with a company organized for exploration of the field and he is consistently active in spreading the gospel of Holbrook oil. To those to whom the sue cessful development of this field will bring affiuence. the memory of the initial activity of MT
 Scorse will bring a feeling of ap- preciation of his efforts. ' Ari- zona Bulletin of Oils and Mines.

HolbroOk Oil Company's Rig Coming Next Week

The News is in receipt of ad- vices from Manager Jack Warden of the Holbrook Oil ComDauv that the rig recently purchased for that company. is now dis mantled and ready for shipment to Holbrook. The assembling of the equipment at the railroad shipping point has been super- vised by 'Dadv Hastings. who has been assisted by Walter Hansen and crew. The work of dismantling this ria and hauling to the railroad has teen some what delayed by the exceedingly cold weather prevailing in Chino Valley.
 Manager Marden states that the equipment includes a Stan dard rig capable of drilling to any depth necessary and as it is in first class condition develop rnent work of the Holbrook Oil company should progress rapidly after spudding in.
 The new rig will leave Cedar Glade not later than Sunday morning for Holbrook. and its erection on the property of the Hoibrook Oil Company will be just as soon as transportation to Holbrook and from HoIbrook to the field can be accomplished.

Cold Weather Interferss
 With Oil Drillers

The cold weather that has pre- vailed in this vicinity for the past two. weeks has interfered with the drilling operations of the three companies now in the field.
 The Adamana company has been forced to suspend opera tions. as also has the Apache company. The Hopi company has one shift working and not much progress is being made.
 President MayfieId and Secre- tary McCauley, of the Hopi com pany. spent several days in Hol- brook this week, thawing out and resting up, returning to the company camp Wednesday even ing.
 The only consolation to those most yitaIly interested is that the zero temperature cannot last much longer. because of the near approach of spring.

 Drilling First Oil Wen

The Carter Oil Co. prospect ing for oil near Defance station west of town. began it's first well for oil the latter part of this week. The we'll now being sunk uses 12a inch casing and will be.runkinto the lower strata of Manchos shale where the oil is believed to exist.
 The wei for water which has been drilled has reached water at depth of ST feet. It was sunk a few feet deeper and the drill entered the first strata of Mancos shale at a depth of 90 feet from the surface.
 Those who are following the prospecting being done by the Carter company are very much encouraged with conditions at what is called the Defiance dome. Gallup Herald.

WORK MUST BE DONE

Interpretation of the laws gov erning oil locations under the placer law provides that $100 worth of work must be accom- plished on each claim, this amount, however. covering group claims of five. The time in which this must be accomplished is within the fraction of the year remaining location and the entire succeeding year. Consequently locations made prior to 1917 will be invalid January 1 of this year unless this work has been per- formed. Bulletin of Oils and Mines.

ing reasonable acres for explor- ation purposes and actual de- velopment is, without argument, a road to riches in a successfully developed field. but the purchase of 20 acre "claims'' from pro- fessional ''Iocators" is surely open to debate as wise pro- cedure. although not always a failure in woolng fortune.
 What has happened in the Ranger field, where for years the possibilities for oil were vaguely realized. can happen in the Holbrook field and from en- dorsements this field has received it is not only possibility, but. as we thoroughly believe, a very potent probability. The drill will settle argument and the wonderful consequences of suc- cess impose a duty on us all to assist in every practical manner the companies we may select for our confidence in proving the Holbrook feldwhich has the most unanimously favorable endorse ment ever accorded field in the reproduction period.

TeepIe was reappointed clerk of the board. Mir. John A. Free man, member from Snowflake, was in line for the chairmanship. but owing to the fact that Mr. Creswell. the Winslow member. resides nearer the center of pop ulation of the county, and is therefore in better position to take care of the business of the chairman. MT. Freeman declined the honor and nominated Mr. Creswell. Mir. Creswell was elected unanimously.
 Mir. Teeple's appointment as clerk was unanimous. During the two years he has held the office he has made a splendid re- cord for efficiency, and the super visors felt that they could not secure a more competent man, even should they desire to make a change. Besides. a petition asking for MT. Peoples reap continent had been signed by many prominent citizens of the county and the action of the board in this respect will meet with general satisfaction. 2
