When a little man has both arms
around both legs of a bigger man,
the bigger man is as helpless as ne
y3ould be if the little man were big.
All know how we'll wildcats, hornets,
and Japanese can fight, although
small.
Although the Abbeville football
team may not win every time, it will
be a game worth watching, for those
who care to see game not easily
won. While exercising this science,
the team exercises it's body also, and
science and strength in team will
win.
When the former champions of the
Abbeville High School team see the
games that will be played, they will
think that they have formed their
opinion before the trial.-H. M.

HOW TO GET MARRIED.

An Original Composition by an ORR
ginal Boy.
If such a problem should ever take
hold of my mind I think I would first
ask some questions. Do l like a
blonde or brunette, slim or fat, smart
or lazy, and would be satisfied with
one of the ones I have in mind? Af-
;er carefully considering this, if I
should decide upon a red haired girl
with pretty blue eyes, then would
Immediately go up to her house.
1 believe in being a fast worker.
Thus, after about a week would be-
rim calling her by her first name,
hen after another week I would be-
rim to call her by her nickname.
Then after another week I would tell
Ter of my work, how much money I
lad saved and where I would like to
'ut a cute little bungalow and what
lind of car I would like to buy. Then
would just kind of insinuate that
I need someone to keep the servants
traight. Of course, this person would
lave to be of the gentler sex. -
Then the next week or just one
month since I made the start would
lave the town babbling like Dagoes.
Then I would timidly take her hand
n mine and then, suffering I would
ssk her to accept me as her life pro-
;ector.
Of course father is to be consider
ID, but with my plans of taking
laughter off his hand-pocket, he
would readily agree. Then proudly
ID carry her to the altar. '" ..
Next day father is touched for
loan. of a few dollars. -.
Lessons may be received from me
iaily for five dollars a lesson. I've
got to make a living. " q

THE AGE OF SMALL MEN.

The common saying of to-day is
that the little man does things now.
The readers of the Sunday Ameri-
can newspaper observed in that pa
per the forecast that men were grow
ing smaller. This is the case with
the boys of the Abbeville High
School. The boys of the graduating
class have been growing smaller in
statue each year.
Las t year it seemed as if the boys
had not only decreased in statue but
also in number. The graduating
class of boys has increased a hum
dredfold this year.
One of the principal reasons for
this lack of growth on the part of
the boy is the teachers, which we
have had before. The past teachers
were Indifferent as to whether the
boys passed or not. The teachers now
are more interested in the work of
the bows. Another reason for lack
of growth is that the teachers have
been sparing the rod too much in as
much as it is said that whipping
makes a boy grow. The reason of
this has been either the kind-hearted-
ness of the teacher or the good be-
havior of the boys. Although it is
not the boys fault for not growing,
this does not alter the fact that there
must be football team.
Several Of the boys, who grew
when they were in school and who
made heavy football players, stop on
their way home to shake their heads
when they see the boys of to-day
practicing on the football team.
There is science left for the boys
of to-day. Being small they are,
like a two weeks old chicken, hard to
catch. Those, who have seen adver-
tsements in magazines, concerning
the art of beating a bigger man,

X. of P. DANCE SUCCESS

+ The Thanksgiving ball given by
the Knights OF Pythias proved in
every way an unprecedented Sue
cess. The night was bitterly cold
but dancers came from far and
near and the hall was taxed to
the extreme for dancing space.
N Grand Chancellor Phipps and
Mrs. X. l.. Waggoner led the
Grand March. some hundred and
fifty couples participating.
The Uniform Rank members
being in uniform added quite a
little to the success by their natty
appearance and the mus.
ic was all to be desired. The floor
management was unusually good
and the absence of children fall
ing all over the floor was par
ticularly noticeable and appre-
,iated by the numerous dancers.
Mr. Phipps. chairman of the
committee and Bertram Hill,
who had charge OF the publicity.
are to be congratulated for know
ing how to draw the crowd and
then seeing that they enjoy them
selves.

RICH ORE FROM
MASONIC MINE

What is said to be the richest
ore yet taken from the mines at
Masonic, was shipped from that
camp by motor truck to Reno
this week and from that point
to the srEelter by express. The
shipment is said to contain 3
ton and averaged $4,000 per
ton. The ore was taken from the
Kibble & Cook lease on the She
mung property, says the Gard
nerville Courier.
a rich body of ore was uncov-
cred on this lease some months
ago and shipments have been
made to the Hazen reduction
works. The ore has averaged
about $3.50 per ton but recently
a rich streak was encountered
from which the three tons OF ex-
ceptionally rich ore was taken.

Now it may not be generally
known that at these meetings in
Spangler Hall, these very We'd
nesdays. the ladies serve lunch
con, not only to members of the
League but for any one who may
care to go, at a very reasonable
charge. As the League has for
it's members some of Yerington's
best cooks it is a very desirable
place to visit for the noon-day
meal.
If any number intend going it
would be we'll to call up some

OH BOY!


Judge Lunsford has ordered
the bailiff of hs court to destroy
900 hundred bottles of high proof
whiskey recently confiscated from
a resident of Reno. Wonder
how many old booze fighters
there are in Reno who would pay
that bailiff big bonus for his
job?
And Dune Mckenzie says that
if the bailiff pours all that whisky
into the river. not only will the
trout all get on jamboree, but
that about half of Reno's popu-
lation will take its annual bath.

upon its right in formation.
The next meeting of the
National organization will be held

MORE ABOUT THE
.FkLLON OIL FIELDS

During the month Of November
1919, w. D. Clark drilled well
on hjh farm, four miles south Of
the we'll put down by Mr.. Doug
lass over ten years previously.
Mr. Clark was endeavoring to
secure artesian water. At depth
of 63 feet he struck a small flow
of black looking water, which pre-
sumably came from the old lake
bed. At depth Of 1Ol feet he
encountered quick sand and sank
16 feet through a hard clay
formation, striking water at III
feet that flows 80 to 40 gallons
per minute. When this water
first formed a pool, there was a
little froth and foam on it, and
when a lighted match was ap-
Piled, a fame would play over
the surface of the water for some
time.
The flow gradually ceased in
a week, and Mr.. Clark attached
a heavy iron bar to cable and
chruned it up and down in the
we'll until the flow started again.
Not lone after this he and his
son were working about the barn,
when loud report attracted
their attention, and glancing, in
the direction of the well, they
saw that water had been blown
80 feet in the air. Examination
proved that substanc reesembl-
ing asphalt, with particles of what
oil men state is oil shale was
blown out by the explosion.
A "T" had been placed on the
pipe so that the water flowed out
a short distance above the groun
while the casing extended few
feet higher. On the morning Of
November l8, Mr.. Clark dropped
lighted match into the pipe,
Mr.. Clark on 32O acres on which
burned all day.
Wednesday, November 1o, Mr..
Porter, of the Carson Sink Oil
Co., and Thomas P. Nelson, Of
thePeerless Oil Company, invited
Chester A. Dimond and D. E.
Williams Of the Churchill County
Eagle" to accompany them on
a trip to the Clark well. Mr.. Por-
ter had just signed a lease with
Mr.. Clark on 800 avres on which
the well is situated.
The location is ten and one half
miles south and a half mile e +
of Fallon. When we reached the
scene, the we'll was flowing about
IS gallons per minute. A iro
pipe conducted the water to a
large ditch about fifty feet away,
and as the water poured into the
ditch a white foam was created
Different members of the party
dropped lighted matches into
the foam, and fame would play
over the surface, notwithstanding
a heavy gale was blowing.
Turning to the well, lighted
matches were dropped into the
pipe, which extended about three
feet above the "T" from which the
water was flowing. The gas inn
mediately ignited, and flame as
wide as ones hand would blaze
eight or ten inches high. The
strong wind would soon extin-
guish the flame, but the gas would
ignite the instant a match was
dropped near the surface of the
water.-Eagle.
