HERE'S ONE
ARMY WON'T
DEM0BILIZE
Educational Films Show to
Chickasha School Declared
Boost Work of School
Garden Army.

Probably the most enthusiastic au-
dience that ever was housed in the
Sugg theatre packed the house from
pit TO dome this morning at IL
o'clock to see a moving picture IL
lustrating the purpose and workings
of Uncle Sans school garden army
and to hear ]. c. Muerman of the
Department of the Interior and L.
n. Morrisett, state garden director
of the Council of Defense explain the
plans for putting over a big food
production this year.
The audience was composed of stu
dents of the senior and junior high
schools as well as the two upper
grades from each of the ward schools
cf the city, and it taxed the capac-
ity of the house to accommodate
the gathering.
Mr. Muerman explained that last
year the fund set aside for that
purpose, 100000 school children in
the United States took up the work
OF gardening. They were directed by
ever 10000 teachers and raised co.
COO acres of gardens in the United
States, that, according to estimates
Of the department would not have
been planted at all had the move
nent not been put on.
"We need food. The world needs
food and the boys and girls demon
strated last year that they can raise
the food,' said Mr. Muerman. "Ths
school garden army is one army that
is not going to be demobilized We
are going to keep right after this
v ork and plan to have a bigger and
better army of school children in
1919 than during the trying times OF
1913 with the world at war.
"rhe response of the teachers in
accepting the responsibility of direct
ing this army is splendid. 1t shows
a remarkable spirit OF patriotism
but it is not surpassed by the en-
.husiasm and loyalty with which the
children themselves attack the prob.
lem. They go for it heart and soul |
Ii we could get every child assem- |
bled in this theatre at work on a
garden this spring and summer,
how much food do you suppose they
would raise for Chickasha? The
amount is hard to estimate, but it
you'd be staggering.
'The spirit of cooperation shown
,y Supt. Ramey and his corps Of
eachers is very much appreciated,
IS well as the courtesy of the thea
re people in giving us the use Of the
iouse."
The films were of an educational
.ature and were shown IN connec-
ion with a nationwide campaign
nat is being put on to boost the
novement for more and better
chcol gardens.

PARIS, Feb. 19.-Georges Clemen-
ceau, premier of France was shot
and slightly wounded in the arm
by an 1S-year-old French civilian
boy named Cotin, as he entered
his motor car in front of his resi-
dence this morning. The assailant
was Immediately arrested
According to the latest information
available at noon. the bullet lodged
in the premier's back, near the
spine, and it is feared that the
wound is more dangerous than was
at first announced, because of the
danger of diebetis developing An
X-ray examination will be made this
afternoon.
1T is not big" said the "Tiger of
France as he returned to the
house unassisted.
Cotin, the would-be assassin re-
fused to make any statement when
seen by newspaper men after MS
arrest. He is said to live i'll Com
piegne.
Hubert Clemenceau, brother of
the premier stated to the United
Press that the wound was not con-
sidered serious.

MANY REPORTS COME FROM new
WELL AT CEMENT; ALL AGREE IS
200 BARRELS DAILY OR BETTER

George E. Montgomery, general
manager Of the Gorton interests,
owners of the Gala Belle, the new
sensation in the Cement pool, made
the following statement this morn
ing by phone from Cement:
"The Gala Belle is flowing about
every four hours, and is throwing
oil over the derrick, which is 112
feet high. 1t is better than the re-
ports indicate and will make not less
than 500 barrels daily. At times it
will make more than that. l will
take all bets from anybody who
thinks that the well will make less
than 500 barrels per day"
AS the reports from the Cement
pool come in, the Gala Belle in 500
looks bigger and better and the field
that is promised there grows in pos
sibility and proportions. There have
been many Chickasha men visit the
well in the past two days and never
a man has returned to Chickasha
with anything but an optimistic
story.
That the well is a regular one
there seems little doubt. Reports
from a dozen different sources place
the estimated production of the well
at 200 barrels or better. 1t is known
that an oil scout working for a big
company reported to his company
that the well is at least a 800 barrel
producer. Men who are not inter-
ested in the Cement proposition on
the east side of the field place the
probable production at not less than
200 barrels.
1t was stated yesterday evening
by man who spent most of the day
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1919-02-19

at the well, that the slush pit is full
of oil, that it has 0verflowed and
that oil has run to the section line
which is probably moro than $50 feet
from the derrick. One report states
that the well flowed yesterday about
noon. Another Chickasha man stat
ed that the oil that was so much in
evidence around the well had been
brought up by the repeated trips
of the bailer
It is pointed out by one oil scout
that regardless of whether the well
has flowed, it is a good oil well. Itl
takes, he stated, some oil well to
flow. People don't realize what a
1OO-barrel oil well is" he declared.
ga well of 100 barrels production is
mighty good well, and a 500 to
1000 barrel well is a wonder. Now
that Gala Belle is a good oil vel
1t may be 200 barrels and it may be
1000 barrels. No one knows and no
one will know until they get hooked
up and can make an accurate test"
An oil manSwho is not interested
in the Cement field stated last night:
Il watched them bailing out the Cal
la Belle. At that time they had no
bailer that would go into their hole
more than about 500 feet. They
made repeated trips with the bailer
and didn't lower the oil any In my
estimation the well is good for 200
barrels or better"
So there you are. In the absence
of any accurate test on the well, it
is impossible to tell whether or not
Chickasha has a Trapshooter. One
thing and that only seems a cinch.
They haven't got dry hole.

Capital to Oklahoma;
Prospects Bright.

Views as expressed last night at
the special meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce, were that Chickasha
was on the verge Of the greatest
boom in the towns history.
Probably the most conspicuous fig
ure in this Delief was j. L. Burtschi
of Decatur, H., an extensive property
owner here and loyal Chickasha
booster Surrounded by the fertile
soil of the Washita Valley, confront
ed by the rich Cement oil fields, in
the center of the greatest hog, cat
tie, corn, cotton and broom corn
section of the state, this city should
be the Pittsburgh of the west" Mr..
Burtschi declared.
Mr.. Burtschi proposes to bring
quintet of men, representing a large
number of the manufacturers, bus.-
ness men and capitalists Of Decatur
to this city with an intention of
convincing them that Chickasha is
the place to invest their money in
various industries, factories, land
and buildings. Mr. Burtschi advo-
Gated the organization of a local
building and loan association, which
was sanctioned by almost every
member present. In pursuit of Mr.
Burtsch's plan to bring into this
field possible investors and promo
ters, Secretary Brown was asked to
make arrangements for the enter
tainment Of the Illinois men, that
they shalt return greatly impressed
with Chickasha and the many posi-
bilities brewing in this city.
A committee was appointed to I'M
vestigate the costs of the construc
tion of S-inch pipe line from the
Cement fields to Chickasha. The com
nittee appointed by the chairman,
an aye and nay vote, was
as follows: j. H. Griffin, chairman;
Roy C. Smith, DR.. T. H. Williams,
NJ. F. Courtney, VIM. Reinheimer.
1t was pointed out by Secretary
Brown that should a pipe line be
from the Cement fields
to Chickasha, two or possibly more,
'efineries would be Immediately es i
-ablished in Chickasha. According
10 rough estimates procured by the
the line could be installed
