Filled With Guests; Drill

On In Several Places.

Especial Correspondence to The JOurnnI)
Artesia, n. M, March 20.-The
people of Atesia are acquiring more
and more of the experiences of an
oil town. They are now in the very
midst of what they had been anX-
iously looking forward to for years
As yet not a well has been
brought in. but drilling in earnest
is going on in every direction from
the town and expectation is rife.
The hotels and rooming houses are
full, and the people on the street,
every other one of whom is a
stranger, are in little groups carry
ing on an earnest if not an excited
conversation. They are talking
about oil. They talk, think or dream
of little else. Oil holdings are con-
stantly changing hands and prices
are advancing with each recurring
day. There are rumors and rumors
which are exaggerated in transpor-
tation until the become self-eX-
plosive through their manifest alb
surdity. Nothing, however, can de-
stroy or damage the universal faith
in the ultimate outcome and any
one who would rave the temerity to
express even a mild doubt would be
ostracised.
Carlsbad claims the distinction of
being midway between the two
fields of activity, and Roswell is the
headquarters of the big men be-
hind the guns. But Artesia is and
will continue to be the throbbing
center from which the activity and
excitement radiate, and the Ros-
NUallitac opl pnt,ntu caaf
are coming and going in an unend-
ing procession.
Between Artesia and the Dayton
and Lakewood wells, when drilling
is under way, there is such con-
slant procession of automobiles that

THE FORCE WHICH
CREATES AUTO SALES

There are five family factors
which have an important bearing
upon every sale" says Edward s
Jordan, president of the Jordan
Motor Car Company. Inc.
! Father thinks in terms of econ
omy, the inventory and the pay
roll. / Mother thinks of her chill
dren's. opportunity and the posi-
bilities of their success. Daughter
thinks of social prestige and a
happy marriage. Son thinks of JOY
and life, travel, speed and get up
and 60"
Every man. woman and child In
the world Is governed entirely by
1.-The exercise of what we call the
five senses, sometimes six. Moth
ing has ever happened in the his
tory of the world except through
the exercise of these senses and
nothing can ever happen except it
is governed by these senses,
There are five senses generally
Ispeaking-sight, feeling, atmos-
Ihere, taste and hearing-besides
a sixth which doctors know about.
They call it equilibrium or balance.
Therefore, when we understand
their application to sales or ad-
vertising problem, we have learned
the simple secret of advertising and
selling goods.
BY the sense of sight the woman
gains picture of the car-the cor
RICHNESS of lines and the strong
appeal of colors that are universe.
When her husband steps in at
the wheel the levers must be within
easy reach and the pedals at the
proper angle.
A demonstration is made and the
car goes up the hill. A car simply
must perform well, not because
people insist upon going fast, but
because every human being loves
reserve power and strength. The
boy is sold, the daughter is pleased
and the family buys the car.

this well eight inches in diameter
at the top, has stood fun of oil of
a high grade. The management has
encountered every obstacle known
to well drillers and has spent on
this and the Dayton well only tri-
flo less than 100000. But this is
wholly lost sight of in the pros
poets. Van WEIGH, the president of
the company. and Mr.. Phillips, the
head driller, have been in the oil
producing business ever since they
were old enough, having been born
in the oil region of Pennsylvania,
These gentlemen are serene in
their confidence in a real oil well at
Lakewood eventually and equally
confident regarding their second
well at Dayton.
The Dayton well is down a little
more than 1000 feet and drilling is
now progressing uninterruptedly.
Considerable gas with slight traces
of oil have already been encoun-
tered, and the indications are en-
tirely satisfactory
The Lincolns have made a good
start on well No and done a lit
tie work recently on well No. l, but
are now waiting for a shipment of
casing which was ordered months
ago.
The National Exploration has its
derrick up at well No. 3, near Lake
Arthur, and drilling began on the
18th. The rig and equipment used
at this we'll are said to be inferior
to none ever in operation in New
Mexico.
w. f. Howard of Ell Dorado, Kans..
who has been in Artesia a few
months, and with other El Dorado
men invested quite extensively in
property here, has gone east for his
two drilling outfits. With one he
will drill a well on the holdings of
the Kansas New Mexico Oil COM
pany. He admits that he will also
drill another well but is reticent as
to particulars. Common report, |
however, says he will drill on the |
land near Hope belonging to what !
is known as the Hope pool. Within |

East Las Vegas, N. NJ. March
2O,-It has been learned here that
there are rumors in Colorado to
the effect that yanadium has been
discovered in this section Of New
Mexico. A Cripple Creek geolo-
gist, Walter d. Wider. arrived here
and began to search for the source
of the rumor. which was the first
information that Las Vegans had
of the reported presence of valu-
able ore near here. Several
months ago the Gypsy Oil company
drilled deeply short distance
from here, then closed the well and
capped it. 1t was reported that
nothing had been struck, but it was
noticed that the casing was not
pulled. 1t is known the drill went
through material that often con-
tains minerals. and some discovery
in this we'll may have been re-
sponsible for the vanadium rumor.

trail of dust. Everyone is doing the
watchful waiting act every one is
on the tip-toe of expectancy and
eagerly looking forward to a condi-
ton of affluence. Should the wells
now drilling fail in their promises
there would be an exodus from this
locality in comparison with which
the exodus of the Children of Israel
would be an insipid tale.
But oil fields are not made to or
der while you wait. Their develop
ment involves time, labor money
and patience. The Pecos valley has
passed the geologizing period. Every
section of land has been scrutinized
for indications, and voluminous
reports of deductions are on file.
The locations of so-called struc-
lures have been established and
all the land on or about them has
been sold or leased many times
over. Nearly ever man in the val
ley has a slice but the big holdings,
which are being continually in
creased, are in the hands of big OPP
orators in the east who are appar-
emily ready to transfer their activ-
tiles from their present localities.
Progress i" the development of
the Pecos valley oil field has been
retarded by lack of capital, lack of
fuel and the hardness of the rail
roads in Transporting equipment

JAP ALPHABET
 IS CHOPPED TO
 2,6OO LETTERS

Tokio, Feb. 26.-Japanese children no longer Save to learn 5000 alpha betical characters before they are able to read and write. School kids are joyful. The number has been re- duced to 2,60o by Government de- cree.
 Taking another step toward full CT realization of Western civilization, the Government has officially reduced the number of ''kanjf' or Chinese characters in the text books of the schools.
 The new departure was taken after a long fight between those in favor Of the retention of the old characters and those who believed they ought to be discarded for the ultimate adoption of Roman characters. When the reduction to 2,6O0 characters still leaves the Japanese child at a great educational disadvantage, yet it is conceded it is a great step toward the final divorce from the traditional Oriental characters.
 It was contended that when school children in other countries were ready to enter high school Japanese children were just finishing the

 of course, and is not noticeable from night to night. In 365 days the sun apparently moves once around the heavens, through the s60 degrees which make complete circle, or at the rate of about degree a day. The direc- ton of this apparent motion of the sun through the field of stars is from west to east, so that the stars appear to move westward from the sun about a degree a day.
 Now, our watch is set according to the suns other apparent motion, that due to the axial rotation of the earth, and this is completed once in twenty four hours. One. degree is therefore equal to four minutes. Since the stars gain upon the sun one degree | a day, they will rise four minutes
 earlier each succeeding day. A star which rises at o'clock on March 4, rises at s:56 on March s, and about s on March 15.

While there is a considera1ble derna ar71 eo~ the one half of 1 per cent. beer, many Of us will be forced to close, and it looks as if the big breweries will have to tear down their buildings or sell the prop , erty.
 That $1O,OOO offer is made in earn est. Any engineer, or building expert or anyone else who has an idea on the subject is invited to come here and study this property and see what can be done with it. Our cellars are too high to make it possible to use them for cold storage. We can't use our tanks of 1000 barrel capacity for making candy or ice cream. The basements are too dark and poorly ventilated for workmen to spend an 1 eight-hour day in. While making beer they only have to visit them occa- sionaIly. We are at present making some of the half per cent beer and doing a little on the side in the trans portation line, but we can't find any other use for the facilities of a big brewery.'
 i The Lion Brewery property is being used at present for making one-half per cent beer, operating a garage, an : ice plant and dyeing establishment, The. manager of this plant said that
 one-half per cent beer had been in creasing in popularity at a rate which held out some hope that it would con- tinue to be a paying business, even if the Supreme Court did not permit the manufacture of PTS per cent beer. : The flavor and quality of this beer is being improved I1e said, ffby a process by which the alcohol is burnt
 away until the content is one-half of | 1 per cent. Beer drinkers seem to be
 getting better pleased with it Con-
 sidering the fact that it is - the sale recently has been unex pectedly good. In my opinion, the one hail
 per cent beer consumed in December
 in New York City would be about 5e
 per cent of the amount formerly con- stunned when it was stronger. In Jan-
 uary think the consumption was be | tween 30 and 40 per cent. of normal This is a much better business thar was expected. The people who used to drink the stronger GzNe~ are stil drinking this kind. Consumption ii
 reduced, however, by the fact that the, can only drink two or three glasse at time. The alcohol made it pos
 sible to absorb large quantities of bee
 without discomfort. It would be noth

the rI1ddyi planet well above the hori- zon by Il o'clock, below the beautiful 'bluish-white first magnitude star Spi- ca, in Virgo, which rises just about g o'clock
 Three things distinguish the planets from the stars and enable one to diff ferentiate between them. Perhaps the greatest aid to immediate recog- milton is the absence of twinkling in the case of the planets. On some nights when conditions aEe extreme, even the planets may be found to twinkle somewhat, but it will always be much less than in the case of the stars. Secondly, the planets are al- ways found close to the ec1iptic cir cle, which in the part of the sky now visable, passes through Regulus and close to the star Pollux and the Plei- ades. Spica also lies close to the eclip- tic. Thirdly, and this only helps in observations spread over a long time, the planets change their positions with respect to the field of fixed stars. Perhaps some of our readers may wonder just whoyo the g o'clock sky should be changing continually by small steps day after day, necessitat- ing the publishing of a new map each month. The explanation is simple; it
 
 around the sun in it's orbit once in 365 (approximate) days. The effect of this movement of the earth upon the apparent motions of the sun in the sky must not be cCnfounded with the effect of the daily rotation of the earth upon it's polar axis. This latter produces the rising and setting of the sun, moon, stars and planets.
 In any one position of the earth in it's orbit, those who are having night will see the stars which are in the part of space opposite to the direction in which the sun is. Six months later when the earth is in the opposse point of it's orbit, the sun will be in the direction of these very stars, and they will be invisible, because they are uI i above the horizon at the same time as the sun. The stars which in the pre- ivious case were up with the sun are now in the opposite direction of space and visable at night. At the end of a year the first stars are again visable The change takes place gradually
