Would Drill for Oil.

YUMA-A concentrated effort is now being made in the Yuma valley to ob- tain leases upon sufficiently large acreage of ground so that some good drilling company can be persuaded to drill for oil in the Yuma valley. For the past two years leases have been obtained in different parts of the Yuma valley upon good many or the farms. However. until the past 1ew months no concentrated effort to .op- tain a large acreage has been at tempted.
 During the past few weeks there have been several meetings in the Yuma valley of the farmers at which meet ings oil and oil leases formed the tonic of conversations. According to plans that have been formulated by the farmers themselves, ali acreage in the central part of the valley and the royalties upon such acreage are pc ing pooled Tn certain part of the Yuma valley, which is supposed to be oil bearing, there is about forty thous- and acres of land.-Morning Sun

Herby Hood, who with his family is

Ben Millett is so full of business this
winter that there is little room in him
for much of anything else. Besides be-
ing proprietor of and chief caterer at
the Eat Here and Die at Home en-
porium, he raises bull pups for the
eastern trade. He has just sold the
last one Of litter Of five, at $40 per.
He also dabbles in farm lands, city
property and U. s. bonds. In the early
part of the winter he sold one of his
city properties at juicy profit. Short
ly afterward he negotiated deal
whereby Charley Sidenstucker became
the owner of the central One-third of
the old Columbia block, and couple
weeks ago, or so, he bought the Skare
residence property which he is now adj
vertising for sale. Ben is not exactly
noted for being plunger, but he has
pulled off at times some very dizzy

pretty safe prediction that SO long as

speculation will run rife in this old

Observation-Disclosures.

Gilmore City Enterprise: A pretty
little home wedding was sOlemnized on
Tuesday, Feb. 3, at the country home
| of Mr.. and Mrs. Ms Behrendsen
northwest of town, when their daugh-
ter Miss Velma Varina, was united in
marriage to Mr.. Clyde G. DOolittle of

ian church was used.
The bride is the eldest child of Mr..
and Mrs. Behrendsen. She attended
the public school of ROlfe for several
years and made many true and stead
fast friends there. She has also made
u name for herself as willing and in
dustrious church and Sunday school
worker. She is a very talented young
lady, well versed in the art of home
making and will make the home nest a
real haven for the young man she has
chosen for life mate
OF the groom, little is known here
except that he must be young man of
sterling worth to measure up to the
standard of his bride. Mr.. Doolittle
saw service overseas in the late world
war, being one Of the boys who helped
win the battle of the Argonne Forest.
1t is interesting to note that eighty
days after leaving the United States he
was in front line trench in France.
The ceremony was performed at four
o'clock, Rev. G. G. Mcintyre of the Gil
more City Presbyterian church ofiici-
ating. Immediately following the cere
mony, a sumptuOus four course we'd
ding dinner was served, a color scheme
of pink and white being carried out in
both table and home decorations.

Private Roy Sanders, who, an Janu-

tached to Camp Jackson, shot and
killed William S. Chaplin a citizen
of Columbia, near Heathwood.
Corporal Edmund Maston, Com
pany C, Forty-eighth infantry, has
already been sentenced to serve one
year in the United States disciple
nary barracks at Leavenworth, to be
reduced to the ranks to be dishon-
orably discharged from the army
and to forefeit all pay and allow
noes due or to become due for his
art in the matter.
Lieut.. Talbert B. Fowler was re-
Gently sentenced to lose 100 files in

tiled and acquitted. With the sem
tence of Sanders the case ends.
Sanders was the man who actual
ly fired the fatal bullet into the car
in which Chaplin was riding when
killed. Sanders admitted during the
trial that he fired the shot but
claimed that he shot into the ground
a few feet below the rear light on
he machine.
Because of the seriousness of the
mtter, unusual time has been taken

Mr.. j. C. Thompson, clerk of the
session of the Presbyterian church
is in receipt of a letter from DIR. Ed
ward G. Cannon of Hampden-Syd-
ney, Va, stating that he feels that
his work is not completed in the
Virginia field and that he declines,
with real regret, the call ll's-recently
extended him to become pastor of
the Abbeville Presbyterian church.
In part DR.. Cannon says:
81 have given the call extended
me careful and prayerful considera-
ton. AS much as I would like to be
able to accept it and to what the
church there wants, l still feel my
duty is here for the present. To
have to forego the privilege Of
serving your church is real sor-
row to me-"
The members of the church here
are very much disappointed that DR..
Cannon could not see his way
clear to accept the call as he was
the unanimous choice of the congre-
cation.
