1T is a serious outrage that veterans

should be shot down in cold blood as
was done n Washington yesterday
Too drastic measures cannot be taken
to rid our country of the class of crmi-
nal who inspires or commits such
crimes

The decline of today was attributed to
the low foreign exchange market, which
is almost prohibitive against exports, the
high rate of call money in New York
and the complicated political outlook. OF
course all these facts had their telling
effect, but in our opinion the overbought
condition of the market at the highest
prices ever recorded had more actual
weight than any of the above features.
We continue % advise our friends to stay
off the long side for the present and only

Plan Of Operation
Which, Conservatively, Should Yield to
5 for

The 94-acre, McGleskey, tract contains but two
wells. 1t is planned to drill seven. more These
wells should easily average 1900 barrels EACH initial
production During their 270 days of "flush' pro-
duction these wells would then produce about
100000 barrels of oil, allowing for the usual de-
crease This corporations onefourth interest would
amount to $1063,125.
One well can be drilled on the 12s-acre
tract Although nearby wells show greater produc-
ton, we will figure on 1900 barrels initial produc-
ton daily here. This we'll should then produce for
the corporation $421S75 in oil during its first 27O
days.
Seven wells planned for the 70-acre tract
Averaging 500 barrels each, these wells would pro-
duce an income of So, 72093750 in their 270 days
of flush production.
The royalty interest requires expenditure by
the corporation. This 100 will support 10
wells which should produce 1900 barrels each mi
tal production. One out of every 48 barrels goes
to this corporation. In other words, in 270 days
FLUSH" production income would amount to
about $126,5 Co.,
Totaling up, the potential FLUSH" pro-
duction of 27O days from unde-
veoped proven acreage should amount
to $500, 1000, which is conserva-
tive figure. Settled production after
this time will be added income for the
corporation.

Dreams will at times reveal to us
how little we have forgotten; but the
value of dreams as key to remem-

hopeless medley.

enormous hand, came after him, his
fellows crowding after them.
A large room this time, some thirty
feet square, furnished well blankets,

was empty of human occupants; a sec

has swept strongly Democratic dis
trict into the Republican column for
the first time in % years, took his seat
in the house the other day as repre-
sentative of the Eighth Kentucky dis
trict, he was the target of all eyes.
The Republicans greeted him with
cheers and the Democrats gazed at him
with uncOncealed interest.
Does his election mean anything
out of the ordinary? And if so, what
does it mean? The politicians of con-
greSs would like to know.
Anyway. King Swope's election
was certainly out of the ordinary. He
was struggling young lawyer in Dan

land, particularly as acceptable for
building lots as this, is in the greatest
demand. Not the least intimatlon has
come this way as to when the state in
