A new we'll at 100 feet has been struck by the Lucky Two Oil com pany in block 72, Burkburnett. This sand produced about 800 barrels. They are going through it to the 1SOO-foot sands and a big well is ex- pected. MT. Hall of the Lucky Two company states that the new sand will be developed later.
 Jewel V We'll has been ruined by bad drilling. The sand was reached and the hole is not dry. as recently reported, but it will be necessary to drill a new hole. Haste has been responsible for running many wells in this district.
 A pair of gushers not more than 200 yards apart have just come in at Desdemona. The Humble Ellison well and the Comanche Central. Both wells are about half way between the cemetery and the townsite. Frank Oil company tract is only a short distance from these wells and the Magnolia Terrell tract is just across the highway.
 The Wichita Valley refinery has been sold to the Texahoma Oil and Refining company for $1,000,O0O. This is one of the oldest refineries at Wichita and has a. capacity Of 5000 barrels It was capitalized at $500,OOO. The Panther City Refin- ing company are getting materials on the ground and will soon start erection on the Fort Worth property.
 A number of small operators in the Burkburnett district are, declar- ing. they will not complay with the recent shut down order of the Texas railroad commission. They assert that the officials have no authority to compel them to close down. Some are preparing to erect steel storage, claiming that four barrels or storage can be erected for the price of one barrel of oil. The contest is being watched with interest, as it effects a large number of independent com panies.
 It seems to be the. opinion of the majority of Tucson stockholders in companies in the Burkburnett field that the shut down will work to ad- ' vantage in the long, run, as 1t Will save waste of oil and prevent fires, assuring more dividends when pipe line connection can be made.

American Mission az Great Sign
to People of ireland.
BY Robert Welles Ritchie,

Dublin, May 12.-"In the visit of the
American delegates the Irish people
see great sign that the American
people meant what they said when
they went to war: to uphold the rights
of the weak nations" said Eamon de
Valera, President of the Irish Repub.

Their coming was hailed almost as
that of liberators by devoted souls.

determination, new hope and greater
confidence in their struggle for lib.

achieved we will yet be content with
having done all we could in transmit

The President then reviewed all OF
1reland's aspirations, and said EN-
phatically:
President Wilson says the settle
ment of national questions should be
the basis of acceptance by the people
concerned and not on the basis of the
material interest or advantage of any
nation or people seeking exterior in
fluence. or mastery for itself.
THAT is what We believe America
intends to stand by. All the Entente
governments have subscribed tc
these principles and must support
them.
"Irishmen regard Mr.. Wilson's state
ments as challenge to the small peo
pies to speak out how they wish tt
be governed. We accept the chal
lenge, and there is no uncertainty
about the way we accept it.

Remember, there are more Cath

even in the Unionist counties the
minority is 35 to 40 per cent of the
total.
IF England withdrew her army we
would offer the Obstetrics full and
free citizenship. If the Unionists pre-
ferred English rule we would offer to
acquire their interests for fair COM
pensation, which is the utmost any
reasonable person could expect.
IF Ulsterites do not wish to be
dealt with reasonably we will treat
them as they treated the landlords.
"We are determined not to let Ul-
ster continue as the shield for Eng
land to hide behind. Today these
Ulsterities are Irish, tomorrow, Eng
lish, according as it suits their pur-
pose."
Speaking of Home Rule, the Irish
President said it should never have
been advanced by the Irish because
England considered it the high.water
mark of Irish ambitions, which, he
added, it had ceased to be.
"But If Lloyd George offered a do
minion government-what then?" I
asked De Valera. He brushed the
question aside with wave of the
hand, saying:

to offers or promises from England.

endorsed the program Of the Catholic
Bishops on Social Reconstruction at
the meeting held Thursday evening,

over, by unanimous vote, passed a
resolution to forward congratulations
to Archbishop Hayes of New York
Bishop Muldoon of Rockford, Bishop
Schrembs of Toledo, and Bishop Rus

were affixed to the program.
The meeting was attended by Rev.
John c. York, rector of st. Brigid' s
Church, and Rev. ]. Howard Melish,
of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church.
Both delivered addresses and took
part in the discussion.

of the bishops document, and declared

Address of Father York.
Father York declared that truth was
eternal, Interchangeable, needing only
adaptability in its application to pres

were lived up to, If men would only
do to others as they wished others to
do to them, there would be no strife
between capital and labor, he said.
He remarked that Catholics studied
in their catechism that two of the
