SimOns' We'll in
 Hog Bayou Field , Is Flowing Oil

F. A. Simons, who re-organized the Hog Bayou Oil and Gas Develop ment company some mGnths ago, was the recipient of news yesterday indicating that the company's lands in Panola county, Texas, soon will be producing oil in paying quantities. A number of Pine Bluff people have invested in the company, which has one we'll down 2,100 feet. Concern ing this well, R. M. Park, editor of the Panola Watchman, writes:
 "Well, the oil game is looking mighty good here. Leasers busy as cat Some land has been leased here for as high as $100 per acre. What do you think of that?
 "Oil men and financiers from eastern states are here, but they won't put out anything to me. reckon they think I want to publish it.
 "Your well-the Hog Bayou Cor pooD No. 1, still continues to run oil. A fellow can dip up gallon, five gallons or barrel, and in a few min utes the hole is full again.
 "I drove out there yesterday after noon, and there were 12 or 20 strang- CTS out there. It's the same way most every day. And they all get some of the oil"
 This oil is believed to be from the same strata or lake supplying the Homer and Caddo fields. Panola county, Texas, is just west of Shreve- port, bordering on the Louisiana line.

 The possibility of an extraordin- ary after-the-war trade plot was hinted at in meeting of the Rotter- dam council last night. Alderman De Miranda said that shoes which Dutch dealers had dissected and de- risively displayed in their windows to show their poor quality were not American but German "ersatz leath- er," having been substituted by the dealers to convince the public that American shoes were of poor quality and made of paper"
 The workmen's organizations which have been permitted to buy American shoes collectively in an effort to re- duce the cost of living, reported them to be of excellent qualiy. The prics of excellent quality. The prices of imported shoes have been fixed by the municipalities at an average of II 1-2 florine, approximately 40 per cent below the previously prevailing prices of the same quality of Dutch shoes.

Ten Years Nun&erThan His Years

Doesn't it make you feel good-cause you to straight en up and feel "chesty"- when someone guesses your age at ten years or so younger than you really are? You look into your mirror, smile with satisfac-' ton and say to yourself: Well, he didn't make such a bad guess, at that.
 The point is: You're no older than your vitality. {
 If a man is strong, vigor- ous, mentally alert, fine and fit at 50 he has a better chance of living up to 80 than a man of 30 who is weak and rundown has of living up to 60. While none of us can stay the years nor stop time, we should all make an heroic effort to suc- cessfully resist the effects of time by ever keeping our vitality at par.
 When you sense a feeling of slowing down of your physical forces-when your stomach, liver, kidneys and other organs show signs of weakness-when you notice a lack of your old time "pep" and punch '- in other Z, words, when you feel your vitality is on the wane, you should com
