$ Miss Nancy Hall P.o

Friday morning of last week our
good friend, Mr.. K. w. Young, who
lives out toward Linton, came walking
in with double handful Of Nancy Hall
sweet potatoes, as he does about this
time every year-when the first pOta-
toes of the season are to be had. The
poor mans friend" we said, upon see
ing what he had. The poor mans re-
lief" was his quick retort, and con-
tinuing: I'VE now have sweet pota-
toes and new corn out our way and 1t
would be hard to Starve us out And
there il much more than idle banter
in either remark-either way you take
| it. The Nancy Hall is an earlymatur-
| ing potato and is by far better baked,
boiled or fried than some of the other
varieties that come on later, and it
serves AZ fine filler for many dishes
that are well placed OH the table. Dur.
ing the heated term we are advised to
live almost exclusively OH vegetable
! diet. and when we consider that sweet
potatoes Of this variety large enough
for table use may be had as early as
August 1st, during the season follow
ing the failing of nearly all garden

is to give attention to them.

observe their ways, and ever and Anon

A 1O.OOO-Barrel Gusher.
/ Guardian journal, 18TH

Homer Guardian Journal, 13th.l
While there was not much surprise.
there was considerable excitement in
Homer last Friday morning when it
was announced that master well. Il
giant gusher. had come in OH the Guy
Oakes lease.
This well is in section %. east of the
producing wells. and nearer Homer.
We anticipated this in our last weeks
ut any hour.
However. interest and excitement in
tenSitied. till large portion Of the
town went out to see the mighty
guSher.
The oil, under Il gas pressure, flowed
out several feet above the high der
rick. and fell back as if dark cloud
had hursted, and sprayed the bushes
and ground in every direction.
An expert applied IA mechanical test
for several minutes. and it was con-
servatively estimated that it was flow
ing above 10000 barrels day.
| 1t was finally brought under control
and capped, and Just il sufficient
amount permitted to flow into the
bitches. so as not to cut off production
entirely and damage the well.
This well being nearly 1000 feet
deeper than the other producing wells,
is guarantee of both Il shallow and
deep strata and hecne confirms beyond
doubt that Homer is the center of one
of the richest and most easily devel-
oped oil fields in the Southwest.
And as Il matter of fact, the reliable
experienced operators tell us that such
a well as this is rarely found in Okla
homa, Burkburnett. Texas, or any
where else
There is nothing in the Caddo ol
Bull Bayou fields at this time that
shows such capacity as this las
Shreveport by wire, and from theme,
to Texas and Oklahoma. Since thel
operators and capitalists have beer
coming into Homer as fast as th'
transportation facilities now at hant
will permit Leases have advanced
over 100 per cent, and royalties like
wise are commanding high prices tiv
and six miles distant from presen
productions.
Since the discovery of oil at owe
1000 feet, it is now thought that
number of wells heretofore abandone
at lesser depth. will be taken II
again and brought to production.
