PLAINS GETS
ZOO BARRELS
AN HOUR WELL

Plains Oil & Gas Company No.
/ Remington, located northwest
of the Duke well in Comanche
county, Texas, is making 200 bar
rels an hour at less than three feet
in a hard sand. The well is con-
nected up to the Magnolia pipe line
and the oil is being run to storage.
1t is understood that the Magnolia
has five empty $4,000 barrel tanks
in that territory, and is therefore
able to handle the production. The
Magnolia is shipping large amount
of oil daily by tank cars TO its va
rious refineries..
The Plains has 100 acres in the
lease on which the well is located
and has a total of over 1000 acres
in the same territory. The COM
pany, No. Stockton is drilling at
1900 feet.
Practically all the stockholders
of the Plains are Ardmore men
and the news of the big well is
naturally very gratifying.

ENGLAND IS FOLLOWING
CLOSELY DISCUSSIONS
OF LEAGUE IN AMERICA
By Margaret Walter.

London. Feb. 22.-American dis
cussion Of the League of Nations is
closely followed here. The press is
giving much attention to criticisms
OF the plan in the United States SEN
ate. These are not considered as
indicating that America is unwilling
to take part in whatever arrange
ments seem necessary to make sure
the fruits of victory and guarantee
the peace OF the world. On the CON
trary best English opinion consid-
crs that without the fullest criti-
cism and discussion Of the plan in
the United States no arrangement
to which the American people were
committed would be likely to he up
held by them. There is compara-
lively little faith here in the writing
OF constitutions; all the political
experience oi this country tends to
make the British people believe in
the slow growth Of institutions
backed nv public sentiment rather
than in architectural plans.

Mr.. Florence Williams, representa-

audience. She spoke concerning the
conditions of better health among our
people. She also brought to us an
outline by which the State Sanator-
ium is to be erected for the colored
people of this state. Her plan is Of
such nature that every patron, teach
er, and student may assist in aiding
the project. This is done by the
sale of Christmas stamps or Red

the interpretation of the law as laid
down by the school authorities. He
spoke of instances wherein the law
is effective and emphasized the fact

Supt. L. j. Bell spoke to the
teachers in his usual manner, urging
them not only to come up to the re-
