Indications arc that business will

being the Gorton No 2, Wade farm
in 2-5-9, which test is due to hit the
oil sand during the present week
They were successful, after some
trouble in casing off heavy gas
flow. This promised to be ga IL
sufficient volume for commercial pr
poses, but it was cased off. They
changed from rotary to standard
tools with which they are drilling
in. They expect to get the pay at
around 22S5 to 2275 feet.
Trouble has again hit the Betty G.,
Lackey farm, when the heavy gas
escaped in considerable volume yes

that is giving trouble, but the fact
that being heavy, 1t hugs the ground

of the Mckay Oil company on the
Shook farm in the SW-SW of 1903
They are running the 5-S casing
the eight inch having frozen. They
will set this pipe at around 1900 feet
and carry it to the sand by under
roaming. Much Importance is at,
tached to this test, as the bringing
in of this well there would extend
the field several miles and would
make it, from tip to tip one of the
largest blocked out oil areas in the
state.

Usually Good Fellow, But Generally
Nuisance

All of us know him. He is really a
very good person. He has many lovable
traits. Yet he is not loved. He has
one Characteristic that makes him dis
agreeable. No matter what proposal
IS made for pleasure, entertainment or
business he must first offer an objee-
ton. Actually he may approve the I'M
dertaking. He may have advanced it
at some former time or to some other
person. But since he does not advance
the idea now he must first raise an OBJ
lection, even if he later comedies the
night Of the proposal.
Even little plans for family enjoy
ment must have a wet blanket thrown
oyer them by him. All the joy of sud
den enthusiasm must be taken out by a
ready objection He never gives hearty
approval to anything. No book quite
pfeases him. Every sermon or lecture
could have been improved. Greatness
or herolsm he never grants to another
person or character without first re-
counting certain accompanying faults.
What is the worth of rehearsing
faults when nothing can be gained by
such rehearsals? Why not give praise
where praise is due and keep silence
about the rest? Why bring forward OBJ
stacles against a public measure whe1
one is convinced that the best is being
done2
Spelling family pleasure is among the
