CENSUS ENUMERATOR
 HAS FEW TROUBLES

Compared with other sec
 tions of the country where census enumerators are re
 ported to be having trouble in securing the required in- formation for Uncle Sam's archives, or losing their voices through continual re- petition of the routine ques- tions, Holbrook is entitled to a blue ribbon, or at least a pink one, according to Mrs. Chas. Osborne, census enu- merator for this district.
 Mrs. Osborne reports very little trouble and her voice is still capable of taking high c or low c, or whatever the test of vocal capability may be. While some spinsters, and some who are not spin sters, are a bit hesitantabout telling their honest to good ness age, and some of the gay old bachelors had re- luctantIy admitted having once worn the matrimonial yoke, still the answers have been forthcoming. You may fool most anyone as to your age and previous condition of servitude, but the census enumerator has your number after the task is done. Like the line on the Pathe News pictures, the census official ''sees all, knows all.

SLEEPING OUTDOORS
 IN NEGLIGEE
Man Suffers No III Effects
 From Exposure

An experience few would care to duplicate fell to the lot of Dimetrio Sandoval of Concho, Monday night. Ris- ing in the middle of the night SandovaIleft the house clad only in trousers and underclothing and was found early the next morning near the river in a half frozen condition. It was thought at first that life was extinct, but this was found to be in error and Sandoval is today, we are advised, suffering no i'll effects from the exposure to the cold night air.
 This might be a boost for the Holbrook climate if the idea were more generally practiced. California would make capital from the fact that one could sleep out of doors in January without covering. It is evident our climate is not sufficiently ad- vertised.

RUNNING FORDS IN
 COLD WEATHER

I SOAAA~ VI AAAA AAAAAA
 ''Ford operators can save themselves consi derabl e trouble during this cold weather if they give proper attention to the Fordclutch, 2 said R. E. Jaycox, Special Agent for the Standard Oil Company, in discussing cold weather fabrication yester- day.
 Many F ord operators complain that when the en- zine is cold it is hard to crank and the ear has a ten dency to creep forward while Ecranking.
 'To eliminate as much as possible this cause for com plaint they should first make sure that the clutch throw out lever is adjusted so that, with the hand brake lever set, the clutch is fully disen- gagged. As this relieves the steel discs in the clutch of all pressure from the clutch Ispring, it should permit suf- ficient separation of the driving from the driven discs to allow them to turn freely on each other. This is ne cessary because the driving discs are connected to the engine crankshaft and the driven discs cannot revolve without turning the rear wheels. But if the lubricat- ing oil used is of too heavy body, the discs will still have a tendency to stick together and make cranking difficult. |
 ''In the Ford power plant the clutch is combined with the engine and fabricated from the supply of oil in the crankcase. If the oil in use has a Zero Cold Test it will not congealor become too heavy at any temperature above Zero, and the clutch discs will then separate free ly when relieved of the pres sure of the clutch spring. This will permit the engine to be cranked with minimum effort, and will check the tendency of the car to creep forward.
 "Zerolene light is the cor rect lubricant for Ford cars in cold weather. It has a zero cold test. It is correct I ly refined from selected Cal Iifornia crude oil and it flows freely in all temperatures down to zero. It helps con- Isiderably to eliminate the hard cranking and creeping car complaints and gives cor rect fabrication to the en- zine, the clutch and the transmission.

SOME DEFICIT

A Washington dispatch states that the deficit ac- cruing from actual physical possession of the railroads by the Government for the past two years will total $636, 900, 900. co. When the roads were taken over by the Government on January 1st, 1918, the railroads were guaranteed by Congress an annual rental of $500, O00,- 900. co, based on an average income of a three year test. Receipts for the two year period fell some $500, OO0,- 000.O0 short of this amount and the balance of the de- felt was incurred in the ex- penses of administration in- land waterways, etc. $1,- 25O, GOO, GOO. .OO has been ap- propriated by Congress for the purchase of new equip ment, but this amount will be returned to the Govern ment.
 The return of the roads to private ownership on March 1st will entail legal and fin- anciaI difficulties rather than difficulties of operation.

.S5OO,OOO SPENT DAILY
 IN RANGER FIELD

 } brook is illustrated below Development expenditures lin the Ranger field, includ, ing also Desdemona and the southern half of Stephens County in that term, now are running we'll above half a million dollars a day, in the opinion of three of the largest individual operators in those fields.
 They are Gull c. Moorman of Dallas, formerly of Rang CT, and one of those respon- sible for the early prospect ing work that resulted in the discovery of the field; John M. Gholson, his partner in many oil enterprises, and E.. N. Dorsey of Ranger, known as the builder of more oil rigs than any other man in the field and probably one of the largest rig builders in the world.
 VAST SUMS EXPENDED
 There are between $50 and 400 strings of tools now at work in the Ranger field, and possibly as many as 500. including ''Hog Town" or Desdemona operations, where there is reported to be around 100 drilling wells.
 To handle developments in the field they estimated at least 2, 500 motor trucks are at work, $40 a day each be- ing paid for their services or $1OO, 900 a day. Then there are at least 5000 teams at work, an average price of $14 a day being paid for teams and drivers, adding another $70, 900 to the total. Estimating the cost of oper- ating 400 to 500 drilling wells at somewhat more than $100 a day each another $40, 1000 is accounted for.
 On an average it may be figured that there are four to five completions a day, meaning that that number of rigs must be replaced to keep up the drilling. As a matter of fact, drilling is on the increase. Estimating the cost of each new rig at $5, 900, that would add $25,- : 900 a day.
 BIG OUTLAWS FOR PIPE
 Then each we'll completed requires approximately $20,- GOO worth of pipe and cas- ing, including pipe necessary for pipe line connections, adding atleast $80, 900 more.
 In addition, there are the vast expenditures b e n g made for building of pipe lines, tank farms, houses for operatives and the like, which they did not attempt to estimate, but said they ran into the hundreds of thousands. Totaling all ex- penditures, they agreed that the aggregate was surely far in excess of $500, ,O0O a day.
 Also, they pointed out, these figures do not include the immense ''turns-overs" made of this money after it passes into the hands of the men in the fields, such as for house rent, groceries and the like; nor do they include any land and lease values or in- vestments. = (Texas Petro- leum News.

COMING YEAR TO BE BIG ONE FOR HOLBROOK
Production of Commercial Oil Is Confidently
 Expected

The situation as to the de velopment of the HolbrooE oil field is much the same as it was at the time of our last issue. It is known that sev- eral large deals are on tapis, but owing to one cause or another, details of the nego- tiations and plans for fur ther development are with held officially for the time being. It can be stated how ever, that a new and large interest is about to become identified with the develop ment of the field and that matters which have been held in abeyance of late will be settled and details pulp lished on substantial author ity. Any statement as to future plans or completed negotiations concerning the Hopi or Adamana companies which may be given out now are without authority.
 What the development of the field will mean to Hol- brook can perhaps be men, tally visualized by the per- usal of an article in this is- sue stating the expenditures at Ranger. Few realize, un- less they have been through a real mans sized oil boom, what production will mean to Holbrook. That this pro- duction will be secured there seems to be no further doubt in the minds of those fully conversant with conditions and showings in this field.
 DRILLING CONTINUES.
 Drilling is being continued by the Holbrook Oil com pany, the Apache company and the Black Canyon Syn dicate, with resumption of drilling in the near future expected at both the Adam ana and Zuni wells, the lat ter to resume work as soon as roads are passable. The plans of the Hopi company are still to be announced, but it is the hope of those who are interested in the field to see this company complete the well already started and which was drilled to a depth of 24OO feet or better before cessation of work.
 OIL SHoWINGS REMOVE DOUBT
 Backing the favorable geo. logical reports which were largely responsible for the operations in this field, the showings made on test from both the Adamana and Hopi wells, wherein a large oil content was secured by test of the drllllngS, have re- moved doubt from the mind of the most skeptical and it is generally conceded that successful exploration will result from operations in this field.
 NEW INTERESTS.
 Many new interests will be engaged in operation from information now at hand and while it would perhaps be premature to go into any de tail at present, it can be stated that the HoIbrook field will be thoroughly ex- plored.
