HE HAS HGS BOOTS.
Waterloo NCnl,rjer1


We have always entertained a, de-
gree of skepticism as to the sincerity
of some of those who appeared to be
strongly for the budget bill. It is not
the kind Of bill politicians warm
up to. 1t is death to politics 80 far
az the distribution Of public money
is concerned. Money for government
maintenance is appropriated under
the budget system on the basis Of
real needs and requirements. There
is no favoritism, no log-rolling, no
reciprocity. The game of you help
me and I'll help you" will not work
with the budget method; the only
consideration is public need.
To selfish congressman the
budget bill would mean the takins
away of much valuable ammunition
that might be used for the strength

course the people at large would pay
the bill, but what would the con-

that, II he was able to make a fine
showing of patronage, or buildings or
river and harbor appropriations for
his own district or town?
Therefore we have suspicion that
there may have been a carefully

WILL SHOOT HUFFMAN
AND BIGELOW WELLS


When driIlers sank the first gas
well on the Thos: Huffman farm east
of Medina a good flow of oil was
struck at depth of about 410 feet
But as the rig was set uD to drill for
gas, and the crew was all nrimed for
"gas we'll or bust, the drillers were
not allowed to stop but kent on to the
gas sand At a depth Of over 31OO
feet the well proved dry hole
While the drillers were going deeper
for gas second we'll was started a
few feet away from the first that was
drilled in to tap the oil flow that was
passed up by the gas drillers. This
second well proved dry hole, as did
also second and third ATTEMPTS for oil.
Now that the gas well has proven dry
and the oil wells missed the flow. the
gas well is to be shot at the depth at
which oil was found on the way down
for gas.
Drillers came to Medina Thursday
ia shoot this and the Sheriff Bigelow
we'll on E. Smith road. The Bigelow
well has shown a flow Of about a
third Of million gas, but this is not
enough to satisfy the owners and
they hope by shooting it to double or
treble the volume. Both wells will be
shot as soon as arrangements can be
perfected for the event

We had thought that the Republican Bolshevists in

likewise full of them Last week these French Boshevsts
formed combine to snatch away from President Cemen

great fight and unlimited> sacrifices which the French
Premier made he was entitled to the honor to another
term But the selfish greedy French politicians denied it
him; just the selfish Republican politicians striving
to deny President Wilson the honors due him.
