THAT a Methodist sister and a
Baptist sister got into a big argu-
ment about which denomination each
thought would have the larger repre-
sentation in heaven. They finally de-
cided to call in a third party to de-
eide which he thought was right. The
old CoIored brother whom they call
ed in said: Wall doesn't think eder
one will have enuff to pay you to
count dem but if I was you ladies' I'd
figure on which one of desc d'omin-
ations would have most members in
HI. The ladies in the controversy
got heated and both strutted off. He
was ugly wasn't he?

After Additional Acreage

Those who have been watching the &C., servative are now interest ted in the ne- gotiations being carried on by Mir OBrien whereby he expects to take over for the Conservative 90 acres in the Caddo field. The acquisition of this trenchment of this progressive oil cor poration in all of the big producing dis tricts of Northern Louisiana. These hold- ings, combined with their Burkburnett, Texas, lease and vast Wyoming acreage make up the foundation which this subs tantial company is built.

J. D. O'Brien, President of the Con- servative Oil Co.,, has formulated plans for big drilling operations the part of the Conservative Oil Go. in both the Ho- mer and the Bull Bayou Oil Field. The indications are that vast sums of money will be spent in drilling operations during the coming summer The first well will probably be drilled in the Homer field, on the company's twenty acre lease which is situated in Section 31 Township 22, Range 8, in direct line between the big gushers and the Banks well, and ac- cording to the companys geologist a big gusher will result. Should this ground prove as productive as the company ex- poets well will be drilled every three acres on this lease.
 The Conservative lease in the Bull Ba- you field where the gigantic strikes have recently been made is, in the opinion of the companys geologist, good any in this famous district. This tract con- sists of forty acres
 Recent developments in the Homer field. which include the bringing in of Homer Chief Well. have extended the proven area of this wonderful field sew eral miles in northwesternly direction, and the additional territory that has been opened up commands the closest atten- tion today of geologists and operators alike throughout the entire country.
 It has always been the policy of the Conservative Oil Co. to "get in ahead of production" The scouts report big well brought in in Section Is and the field northwest from the famous Section 30 is looked upon with great favor.
 Mir. ORBrien Gives Interview

Lord Mayor MacSwncy showed no
radical change tonight: although the

remained at the prison tonight.

night that for the first time during
his hunger strike the lord mayor had
complained TO his wife of feeling
Very tired The prisoner was unable
TO talk with his relatives. He was
still quite conscious, however. and
his mind was as clear and his Will
as strong as ever.
Labor leaders today addressed an
appeal to Premier LLOYD George, ask

message said in part:
We arc convinced that the gov

mayor has already seriously leopard
lied the hope of early settlement of
the Irish question on basis of con
Citation and appeasem ent, and has
stained the name of Great Britain
with dishonor in the eyes of the

in prison of the lord mayor OF Cork
the government has outraged public
sentiment everywhere and his death
will bring about terrible explosion
OF anger which can only lead to
further bloodshed in Ireland"
