Will Drill a Shallow Oil Well
 Near Concho

L. A Kuehne went up to the new discovery of oil near Concho during the past week, and he tells the Holbrook Tribune that the people of that section are plan hing to commence the drilling of a shallow well for the purpose of determining just what the oil showing there amounts to.
 It will be remembered that a short time ago while sinking a water we'll about seven miles from Concho and fifteen miles from St. Johns, the drill encountered a streak of oil sand which has en- couraged the belief that oil may be obtained at shallow depth.
 With this idea in mind it has been decided by several leading men of the county that they will sink a shallow well to settle the point Accordingly, Senator E. I. Whiting, F. W. Nelson, c. E. Greer and Levi s. Udall have started the plan of getting a sufficient number of local people  to put up money enough to drill the well. They are supported by a number of others, among whom are said to be several Holbrook people.
 These gentlemen are taking the steps, as should this well make good showing of oil it would be a great boost for that section as well as the whole field. | We are told that the initiative win be taken at once, our inform ant stating that the necessary preliminaries having already been undertaken. HOlbroOk Tribune. !

 The Tithing building is being renovated and is to be used for a Stake house. Sol. and J. W. Waite are doing the work.

 Sheriff Hamblin returned Tues day from Holbrook bringing with him a Navajo Indian who was convicted of petit larceny in Judge Hills court. He was give a sentence of sixty days in the county baStile.
 We have a sample of some Su- dan grass that was grown on J. N. Overson's lot. It was taken frona the third crop and measures between six and seven feet high. Each of the three cuttings have been about the same. MT. Over son had about one half of his lot planted to this grass and the yield was two good loads to each cut ting. Again we are shown that we have a very productive soil, if we will give it a half of a chance.

Wheat? Yes Sir.

For a number of years it has been thOught-by some people that grain could not be raised sue cessfully in St. Johns. We don't know exactly where this idea sprung from, but we are prepar- ed to say that it IS an erroneous one. To be convinced of the er- TOT, we would ask you to go and see the wheat raised by c. c. Overson.
 We went and had look at his wheat and we can truthfully say that it S as good as any wheat we ever have seen. 1t weighs 64 pounds to the bushel and there fore must be well filled.
 Mir. Overson tells us that he had planted about five acres, and that one acre of that was very thin not amounting to very much, he threshed out IA bushels of wheat from those fl ve acre Figuring the area planted 5 acres the yeild was 28 4-5 bushels per acre, which is as good as the average crop of wheat raised on any lanj in any country.
 This should be proof enough to any of our farmers that all the blead-stuff necessary for home consumption can be raised here at home. Then why not plant it.
 If we were more self-sustain- ing-it is our own fault that we are not-we would then begin to be a prosperous community, and there would no; be so much prof iteering to be done by those dollar seeking leeches.
 In our opinion the man who holds you up just because he can IS a worse theft than he who breaks the law by taking that which does not belong to him.
 Come farmers, wake up, and take advantage of the oppOrtun- ities that you are surrounded with.
 Alma Davis, John H. Plumb, Maurice Raban, Ward Heap, T. J. Neal, s. c. Thomson and oth- CTS have the proof-in grain that the soil here will produce it, f given a chance.

September Z9, l9l9.
 On the 18th of September the boys taking agriculture made a field trip to learn how to select seed.
 We first went to Mr. Guth's place at tae old courthouse. We examined his corn and found out some facts. 1st always select your corn in the fall before cut ting. End select the stalks that have the most and biggest ears on.
 Then we went on down to Joe Karnes and examined some of his corn. After that we went to Neal, S place to see if they had some potatoes we could examine. They didn't have any so we stop ped there and teacher explained how to select potatoes. He told us: 1st to select potatoes in the fall just before ready to dig. End to keep all of bunch when you find one that has got lots of big ones in it. It was now time to go home so we quit.

Less shaking of hands, stunning un- clean soda fountains and restaurants,
 avoiding the use of common drinking cups and common towels, insistance on the observance of sanitary practices in fOod-handling establishments, and on the enforcement, by the authorities, of san itary regulations governing such places these are all measures by which every citizen can safeguard himself against infection. Their more general practice would do much to prevent the spread of disease generally. To large extent the prevention of influenza can be sum med upin the single word Cleanliness. -

Ols OOIll4O3 Al lLOllCl,
 Sept, 30, 1919. First we went down to Mir. Guth's place. And MT. Burk showedus how to select seed corn. He said to select the stock that had the most ears on. We then went down to MT. Karnes and Mir. Burk showed us again how to select good seed corn.
 Then we went down to Neal's place to see if they had any pota- toes 50 he could show us how to select seed potatoes. They didn't have any in the ground so he told US any way. He said when you were digging potatoes when you find a hill that has lots of large potatoes on to save every potatoe for seed in that hill The little potatoe is just as good as the big potatoes, for seed.
 And always select your corn and potatoe seed in the fall of the year.

WE learn that the veto of the abolitionists will
shortly fall upon tobacco The use of tobacco is not
conductive to good health, they say. At all events
this is true of it's abuse
We fear there is only too much accuracy in this
reasoning. The abuse of tabacco is unquestionably,
harmful. 1t is even poisonous. And if the wide
spread use of an article is prelude to widespread
overndulgence in it, the correct attitude of everv
discerning citizen is beyond discussion. The use of
the article must be entirely suppressed.
This newspaper wishes to declare it's position in
no uncertain terms Every influence that threatens
natlonel health must be abolished and if tobacco is
harmful, tobacco must Co.
So must the corset. Many specialists in hygiene
have analyzed the effect Of the corset on the female
organs, and their verdict is thumbs down." This
newspaper hardly claims to be an arbter in debate
concerning feminine costuming, but it claims. at
least the merit of consistency. If tobacco and cor
sets are endangering public health, we demand a
death sentence upon them. Also upon the high-heel
ed shoe. Also facepowde The medical profession
has long age declared itself
And these are only the beginning of our list: b1t
there is not space in editorial to tabuate the
