BURk.NiGG0NER AND CYCLE
WELLS BOOM SALES or OIL
STOCKS IN THAT SECTION

Wichita Falls. Il Nas, May 5.--After
the Burk.WagEner and Golden Cycle
wells came In the weei. before last, there
was a rush here for stock of companies
with acreage in this field and many OF
them sold their entire capitalization in
short order. one company was over
sold some $4,000 and Immediately put
on company No. .. and this stock was
taken before the certificates could be
printed, No. then put on with a
. capitalization OF $l5O,OOO which was
sold within As hours.
This is only one instance of the
many companies now being formed
here ana illustrates the feverish anxiety
of investors to got into this new and
wonderful oil field.
There is also a revival Of activity
on the boards of the stock exchanges
here, and stock on which the ink is
scarcely dried is being listed and sold
at substantial advances above par.
Stock of several of the new companies
is selling on the exchange boards for
two ana three times par; this is stock
of companies that have not yet even
commenced drilling, and of those that
are drilling in the new field stock is
selling much higher.
New pipe lines building into the Iowa
Park field make the outlook there very
favorable, as the lack OF marketing
facilities has been holding the field
back to some extent. Now that addi-
tional pipe lines are assured the ac-
tivity in that field promises some in.
terosting developments, and there are
those who favor this shallow field for
the reason that several d=ep test drill /
ings there give double play for their
known shallow production I.
and the possible deep production that
deeper drilling may develop.

Based on complete reports from A

BIG PROBLEM IN ROAD WORK
Not to show Need Of Improved High
ways or to Raise Money, but %
Spend Funds Properly

The value Of roads to q rural district
Is becoming more and more apparent.
The modern problem In read work is
not to show the need Of good roads or
to raise money. The greater problem
before the whole country IS to organ
ize so the funds in sight can be prop
erly spent. No longer vim the rural
highways be allowed TO remain neg
lected. But 1t must be remembered
that with over 1000, 600 miles Of roads
in the United States that 1t is not .
problem to be solved in a month or .
year or in several years.

lines Of highway work. There was
not only a tremendous increase and
expansion in the amount of heavy
