KENMAR OIL COMPANY
Owns Valuable Territory kentucky
Oil Property Among safest Oil
INVESTMENTS

A party of investors and oil men
recently took trip thru Allen, War
rem and Barren Counties as guests of
the Kenmar Oil Company. The fol-
lowing report made by one of the
members of the party gives, in few
words, a comprehensive idea of this
wonderful oil field.
The party arrived over different
trains Friday morning, and met at
the Mansard Hotel Bowling Green,
where breakfast was served. Auto
mobiles were ready to carry us over
the field and left first for Scottsville
On the way, we saw signs of activity
Immediately upon leaving Bowling
Green, as there are at present three
or four rigs at work on the edge of
the city. The location of the work
near Alvaton, Allen Springs andHalf-
way was noted as the party proceed
ed toward Scottsville, and about an
hour after leaving Bowling Green
the cars passed thru Scottsville and
down the Gallatin Pike to Adolphus.
At Adolphus, the Kenmar Oil Co.
owns seven leases, including the en-
tire village. Several wells have been
drilled there by the company and
another is drilling on the NJ. L. Hin
ton lease. Eight of these wells are
completely rigged and pumped by
central power, and a crew of men are
rigging the balance. Kenmar's stor-
age tanks, pipe line, loading pump
and loading racks were pointed out
to us so that We were able to see on
this one property the entire process
OF drilling, pumping, storing and
transporting oil, The oil is sold to
the Indian refining Company for
S2.10 per barrel and shipped to its
Lawrenceville, ILL.,, refinery in tank
cars.
Returning north toward Scotsville,
the general location of the group of
leases owned by the company west
ofAdolphus, the Phillips lease, upon
which two wells had been drilled,
and the Y, HiAton lease, near the Nc
Reynolds pool, was pointed out TO

RESOLUTIONS IN RESPECT TO
MRS. IDA PENN.

Servant of God well done. The
battle fought, the victory won, enter
thy Masters joy.
The voice at an early evening came.
She started up to hear mortal ar
row pierced her frame, she fell, but
felt no fear. In the vigor of youth,
in the pride of wolnanhood, in the
strength of age, united by mystic
tie, hand-in-hand and side by side
we entered the year together. Now
at the close of one short life we
pause to look around and note the
events which have caused its flight
Place after place is vacant. At our
side, our circle is broken, our sister
is gone, our Courts are draped in
mourning mute symbols OF our grief
Death has summoned her to join
that great number. She has I'M
sheathed her sword, stacked it at the
feet of our Heavenly Father to
await the bugle call of the Judgment.
Sister Ida Penn, like us cherished
and loved life and while her physi-
cal body will soon be molding in
the clay and be refined in yonders
city of silence, yet in far off and
undreamed of hour when all will be
brought together, she too, will come
fourth joining in that proud anthem
whose choral thunder rolling along
the paths of Unreasonable space
will shake the earth with its bursting
chorus. Oh death, where is thy sting?
Oh, grave, where is thy victory?
Sister Penn was charter mem
Der. The Courts being set up in
1902, she stood among the leaders.
She was the first w. G. and Past
w. C. She was ever loyal and true,
always willing and ready to aid
good cause
Therefore be it Resolved, the wis
dom and ability which she exercised
in aid of Early Rose Court, No. 20
by service, contribution and counsel
be held in grateful memory. We
shall ever cherish her sweet memory
in our hearts.
Sister Penn, peacefully by thy ST
lent slumber, peaceful in the grave,
low thou no more will join our num-
Der, thou no more our songs shall
sing. but watch and wait at the
beautiful gate for again we hope to
meet thee when the day of life is
fled them in the Heaven with joy
to greet thee where no more tears
are shed. We extend our heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved family,
God bless them in this sad hour.

The leaders OF a people must pos
ess their souls with patience. They
must take the optomistic view. II
must always be borne In mind that
he MASSES are without the penetra-
ting vision of the men at the front.
The leaders are able to see the end
of a certain course and much OF it's
final result, oftimes before the peo-
pie can see the wisdom of the begin
ming. The rules which hold a child
in restraint. cause II TO chafe and
fret IL cannot see the need Of pa
rental axiety as TO its future well
fare. and therefore sets itself in OPP
position to the dictation OF the par
ent. The wise parent has a patience
and forbearance with this child-op-
position which Is absolutely neces-
sary to its preservation and progress.
The faithless and shortsighter laborer
does not see the necessity for the
slow, painstabing planning of the
master builder and because he does
not see. sets himself In opposition
TO the order OF those who have him
and his work In charge; but this
Inaster-bullder, must have a patience
which endures the laborers oppose
ton and complaint; TO the end that
the work may make desired head
way.
And so with the race. AT this mo-
ment the masses are full of complaint
and restlessness standing sullen and
m0rose demanding to be relieved OF
all their burdens. The people cry
out and plan and plan and cry out
against the leadership and demand Its
substitution. In the midst Of all this
pickering, let the leaders keep steadi-
iy in View their duty TO the masses
and strive to make their peace, CALI
ing and election sure.
The great task before us today is
to enlighten the peopleto make
them know that their destiny Is in
their own hands. They must be
told that the Negro is his own worst
enemy. and that his salvation is sure
II he can be saved from himself.
The material from which the race
must be built Is inside the race:
not on the outside. The means by
which this material must be shaped
and developed are to be discovered
and applied by the race. These and
things like these, must be taught our
people until they learn them, for
unless this Is done we cannot hope

sons Of me-
