At 1900 Feet New Oil Stratum Is Pen.
etrated That Yields Oil In Quantity
Yet 10 be Determined
600 FEET OF WATER IN THE WELL
Must Case 500 Feet Of Unprotected
Hole Before Pumping Out and
Making Definite Test

Not altogether unexpectedly last
Thursday the drill In the Florida well
west Of the city dropped into oil sand
aud the definite showing Of oil at
1,5OO feet caused considerable excite
ment In Deming. There Is about 600
feet OF water In the well, however, ana
il Is not definitely known yet just how
much oil the stratum will produce. IL
IL thought that II cannot be more than
seven or eight feet thick and that the
amount of oil contained cannot be large.
'Bailing from the bottom of the well
last Sunday disclosed II satisfactory
condition. many visitors carrying away
samples Of oil skinned from the top
of the water or extracted from the
sand
Immediately on cncOuntering the oil
sand the well was shut down, there be-
ing 800 feet of the well unprotected by
casing. which Is now being installed
AT the completion of this work tn,
drilling will continue. oil formations
have been frequent since the passing
of the SOO-foot mark and each new on'
has contained better showing than tn
one preceding. II is predicted that
good pumping well will be developed be
fore reaching 1000 feet. However, th
drill will keep on until stopped by III
impervious stratum. IL is believed tina
the main pool will be tapped short o
2,40O feet.
J. A. Mahoney, \. w. Pollard and [
l.. Baker have had no trouble In sellin
the leases offered to the public fo
financing the well and IL Is though
that the money to complete the we
will not he lacking. Lease holder
within three-mile radius of the we
are turning In quarter Of their hol,
ings and taking stock In the Florid
well In exchange. These are the lease
being offered to the public by the gel
tlemen before mentioned.
Work on the Angelus well east of I'll
city Is going forward some trOub
is being encountered because of III
aulcksand AMI failure in the prom
delivery of casing that must be drive
ahead of the drill. The well is dow
about 300 feet.
Forrest Mckinley is due here toda
to make final arrangements for Il bloc
of leases To 90 to Il large New Nor

will probably be located north Of Il
city.
Mrs. Matthews reports that she IN
almost enough leases signed in the lo

SOME TIMELY WARNINGS.

The following editorial from the last Issue OF
Henry Ford's international Weekly, CThe Dear
born independently, should be read and re-read
in the most careful and considerate manner by
every man, woman and child in America, because
it contains some very timely warnings to all OF
US at this particular time:
From all sides come warnings of impending
change in the economic conditions of the country.
Men whose business it is to read the meaning of
the figures of business have for a long
time been sounding the notes of alarm.
Others whose part it is to observe the re-
lation between the mental and moral as
poets of our life and the material part, are
very i%nsistent that we are bringing ourselves to
a place where swift retribution will fail. TRAY
elers from afar are astOunded at the changes
which have occurred in the life of America, one
very competent Japanese observer saying that
it has every appearance of the decay of Occid-
entail civilization. More conservative men look
for less than calamity, though they earnestly
predict changes of wide import. And the mass
of the people themselves seem to be waiting for
something to break. There is everywhere a hazy
expectation of some event which they hope will
shake things down to their normal basis again.
Zone of the alarming symptoms of the times
is the decrease of our exports and the enormous
increase of our imports. Ships crossing from A
merica to Europe have cabin and hold space to
spare, while ships coming in are loaded to the Ii
NIT with passengers and freight. The signs are
that our boasted stocks of goods are not here or
if here are not moving. No doubt the exchange
situation has something to do with that. Groups
who control such mhtters-and they are not the
governments nor the peoples-have made it i'm
possible for European countries to buy our pro-
ducts. If this were resulting in a throw-back of
our commodities upon ourselves the effect would
be a decrease in prices here. But that effect is
not evident. On the contrary, prices here are
rising. Even in those lines of business where ser
vice has always held at least an equal space with
profits, prices are rising by the compulsions OF
Greenwood daily commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1919-1926, 1920-03-27

BILLY BUGLER.

MY name is Billy Bugler and I'd
for I'm such a happy little dog and
think it is nice to hear of q happy
little dog don't you?
Il was told l could tell you my
story. So l shall begin at once. l
must describe myself too for those
who don't know me by sight nj aren't
on speaking terms with me.
"Of course the only reason they
aren't or speaking terms with me and
I'm not on speaking terms with them
is because we live in different places!
And one can't speak to people in differ
ent places unless n does it through
a funny black tube thing which they
call the telephone.
Once my missy was away from my
master and my master t~elephoned her.
calling her from another black tube
that looked like the one she spoke
through, so she said.
She called me after she had talked
a minute to the black mouth piece and
held another black thing to her ear
and she said, Come Billy Bugler,
come and hear your master talk, and
speak to him. So 1 barked through
the black thing though I felt sure he
couldn't hear me until she put that
a trumpet to my ear INT I heard my
masters voice. Didn't I shake all over
with excitement though! I wondered
where my master was and why he
didn't come out Of hiding and speak to
me really.
But my missy explained to me that
he couldn't, that he was far away and
