Looking for Oil in Bates County.

F. L. Harrison, representing the
Reliance Exploiting company, Of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, spent sew
eral days in the western part OF
Bates county the first OF the week
looking into the oil prospects. Mr..
Harrison was sent here by his COM
pany to make survey of the county
and report his findings which he has
done and while he is not making pub
lie what his report was he seemed to
think that there might be oil in
bates county. If his report is salts
factory to the company they will
send biologists here to cover the
ground and. if in their opinion the
oil is here. drilling will soon be COM
menccd. Mr.. Harrison has for sew
eral years been in the oil business in
the Kentucky, Indiana. Ohio and
Louisiana fields. ...
When companies who are extern
sively engaged in the oil business in
the different parts of the country be-
gin to take notice of Bates county it
begins to look as though there might
be some reason to think that the oil
is here.

Bank of Amsterdam Sold.

G. H. Pahlban, majority owner OF
the Bank of Amsterdam, Missouri,
and cashier, has sold his entire in
terests in the bank and his residence
III Amsterdam to J. w. Alder. for
merly of Merwin, Missouri. Mon
day, August the 10Th, the formal
change was made and Mr.. Alder
took charge of the Bank at that time,
says the Amsterdam Enterprise.
Mr.. Alder formerly was in the
banking business at Merwin and is
we'll known in this locality aud there
will be no experiment in mis- venture
in the business here as he is thor
oughly capable in every respect to
handle the business. Mr.. Alder's
brother, Frank Alder, formerly prin-
c;pal of the schools at Manhatten,
Kansas, will live in Amsterdam and
will be cashier of the Bank of Am
sterdam. He is thoroughly tried in
the business world and has had a
position of responsibility and rlcrit,
the past several years and will be-
come valuable asset to the COM
munity and will make good banker
for Amsterdam. J. w. Alder, whe
sold at Merwin, has re-purchased
and the two places will be operated
in conjunction. In this way the
business OF the community car aud
will have special care and be more
easily handled when larger deals
have to be considered.
Since Mr.. and Mrs. Pahlnlan have
been in the baak there has been a.
very substantial growth, the deposits
have increased from about SIS, 10000
to $I6o,ooo.oo, the surplus fund has
increased 100000 and the bank is
now located in its own building, and
is equipped with every necessity.
After an extended western trip Mr..
and Mrs. Pahlman will reente. BUSH

Limerick,s Claims to Fame.

Limerick has been linked up with
other things besides verses and medi-
eval conquest. Limerick laces were
at one time renowned. until they were
so widely copied that their originality
was lost. Today Limerick is famous
chiefly for. bacon and pretty girls. The
natives claim the very prettiest Irish
girls grow up in Limerick, AS for the
bacon, 100000 pigs are killed in the
town yearly, and yet pigs swarm in its
streets, yards and houses. Limerick
bacon and ham seldom reach tho
American table. but throughout the
British isles they are regarded as the
best In the world.
