COCHISE JOAN
 ASSN. PROSPERS

The board of directors of the Co chise Building and Loan association met during the week to pass on loans for the association and general trans action of other business. The earn ings of the association have proved highly gratifying to the stockholders, who borrow money from the associa- tion. The large earnings have cut down their time to pay out from 100 months to around 76 months which has made their interest cost very moderate, being little over per cent per annum on monthly balances If rated on yearly balances this would be less than per cent per annum.
 Building and loan associations have been the means of building up other towns likewise this organization has had marked results in the Warren dis trict and has enabled people to build homes they have long desired
 Their homes have been thoroughly equipped with plumbing, plastered and painted and their yards fenced on the building and loan plan in few years they have paid for their homes.
 Ninety-five per cent of those build ing homes through the building and loan association pay their homes off in less than 60 months, this being matter of record.

 EXTENDS. WEST

WICHITA FALLS, Texas, Aug. g. Gradually the field at Burkburnett is extending further northwest, while op- orators of the southeastern part of the field are meeting with failure.
 At 2000 feet the T. P. Roberts well of the Horse Shoe Bend Oil Associa- tion has been abandoned as dry, it is reported The we'll is more than two miles from the west extension of the Waggoner pool. past the bend in the Red river, and is practically in the North Clara district.
 There are three holes in block 75, Renner tract, all dry below 1900 feet. 1900 feet, block "A, Rei river valley lands.
 On the other hand the northwest blocks are showing up excellently and acreage is rising in price north westward. Clint Woods No. 1, in block IS, Greenwood subdivision, has been completed extending the pool somewhat. Oil men claim that the field will go northwest a great dis tance and they are planning opera tions accordingly.
 Proof that the Waggoner pool is by no means playing out is in the pro- duction of the Skelly Oil Company's No. 2 Waggoner, 1900 barrel well, which came in a few days ago. Wells have been drilling and complotions have been made steadily in this block, since the Waggoner pool was opened and such big producer in the midst of so many other producers shows what the pool is made of.
 The pipe line situation, while slow ly improving, is not what it should be, and is greatly hindering speedy operations. New wells are being com- pleted and shut down after the tanks are filled, awaiting long delayed pipe line connections.

BISBEEAN HAS
 FINE OIL LAND

E. E. Hughes, old timer of the War ren district and shift boss for the Dodge corporation for a number of years, has just returned from Stevens county, Texas, where he owns 320 acres in the proven oil fields. His land is north of Ranger and about 14 miles from Breckenridge, where he makes his 3n-; office. He was orfeI cd d large sum for his ground while down there during the past month. He has leased his ground to a large oil cnmr rarr anc he expects they will soon be drilling.
 MT. Hughes lived in Stevens county some 20 years ago. His father still lives there and has two promising pieces of ground just north of Breck- enhridge. His son, who worked in the district scN eral years, is now located in Stevens county and has also picked up some ground.
 MT. Hughes has remarkable things to say about the building up of the towns and the ealth that some of his old friends have made runs into the millions. He went down by ma chine and came back by train, expect ing to return soon to make Texas his home.
 Just before returning Mir. Hughes sold his machine on a few months no tice for several hundred dollars more than what he had paid for it after running the car 1000 miles.

GORMAN FEELS
 B0ON EFFECTS

GORMAN, Tex, Aug. 9.-A new period of development is opened to the citizens of German through the achievements of the neighboring oil fields. Numerous new buildings are being planned with an idea of hous- ing new concerns rapidly being drawn to this city. The new hotel recently leased by competent and ex- perienced parties will be open to patrons in the early fall. Numerous supply houses are opening here for large operators are inclined to be- lieve that German is the coming city of the -Desdemona district
 Business is in a congested condi- tion, but business men cooperating with the chamber of commerce be- lieve they will soon destroy the hindrance to progress. The Katy railroad is coping with the present situation in such a way as to hasten supplies to and from the field as no other railroad in the oil fields of Texas have been able to do so, so far.
 Owing to the unlimited water sup, ply, it is believed by the citizens of German that their city will be an ideal spot for manufacturing. The Chamber of commerce has invited all manufacturing concerns interested to look over the situation. There is also an unlimited supply of oil and gas for fuel used here.
 The Mutual Machine and Tool Co. has completed it's building and is now installing machinery and will begin operations in the near future.
 Final arrangements have been made by Warren Waggoner for the new loading track for oil shipments from the Duke field.
 The Waggoner-Terrell we'll No. 2 is now two feet in the sand and is producing 2000 barrels of oil daily. The company plans to ship this oil from German, but local refineries are making every effort to secure the oil for the refineries here. Should they succeed, the deal will prove a very profitable one to the stockholders of the German refineries.
 The German Gas Go. has three miles of it's line laid from the Central Texas gas well toward German. This company expects to have the mains in this city started within a few days and it is thought that the line will be ready for operation within the next so days.
 The county bond issues, which the people of Eastland county are ex- pected to vote on within a short time, indicate the great and perman- ent development of the county. The chamber of commerce of German is campaigning to have the issues passed.
 The well on the Perry land. one and half miles southeast of Gorr--n, is at a depth of 1900 feet
 The Moorman well, owned by the Humble company and situated seven miles south of German, has a showing of oil

Think Europe Should
Look After Turkey
In Manadory Plan
By zssoeisted Press

Parts, Feb. 4.-No answer has
been returned by the American
delegates to the Peace Conference
to what IS said to be an almost
unanimous desire of the other pow
ers that the United States under
take to act as mandatory for Ar
menia and the other severed prov
inces of Turkey. Such of the Amer
lean delegates as will discuss the
situation say they are disposed to
resist this development of the plan
for mandatoies, holding that 1t is
the business of Europe TO look af-
ter the Europeans and the people
OF the near east.
The argument used by the other
powers in support OF their desire
that the United States assume s)me
of the obligations to care for the
welfare of backward peoples af-
fected by the peace settlement and
assist in their Advancement to a
higher state of civilization is based
upon the unlimited confidence of
other governments and because It is
known that the United States has
no territorial aspirations.
