Production MnYing East.

The biggest news item that has
reached Ardmore from the fields in a
number Of days is the report from the
Iiumble-Smpson well located in the
southwest corner of section 23-ls2w on
the Stronan farm. This well reached
tine top of a sand AT 2l5j feet, the
sand had been penetrated last night 10
n depth Of seven feet, the well flowed
the first four hours at the rate Of
~ barrels an hour. 1t was shut
down last night and no drilling was
done but drilling was to have been
resumed today. This is the farthest
east well in the field, the sand was
found higher than in the wells to
the west and the southwest and it is
believed that the pay sands underlc
p large portion of section 23 and it Is
possible that the entire section is
underlaid with oil. The Garter well
on the Hamilton farm east of the
Humble.Smpson well is making some
gas at 2024 feet and the Magnolia
which has a rig up diagonally south
west from the Carter well is getting
ready to begin drilling operations. The
southeast looked gloomily enough to
cause the Magnolia to shut down op-
crations after its rig was built but
the situation looks so good today
that this company will begin immed-
.ate drilling operations. The Stro-
man farm has other wells drilling
and the Homaokla people are drilling
in section 26 offsetting the StrOman
farm on the south. The drill will
soon disclose whether the east side
will give up production or not.

HARDING nbE IRF
NEW SCHEME ON
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Combination of Knox,
Lodge and Root Sug-
gcsted
BY HARRY 3. HUNT
IN. E. A. stan Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Root
Lodge, Knox. Those three names
occur and recur in every discussion
OF President-elect HardIngs foreign
policy and the organization Of the
State department under his admin
istration.
The general impression has seem-
ed to prevail that Harding would
have to select one and reject the
othe two; that the choice OF one
for head Of the State department
would eliminate the others from
any active participation In our Tot
cign AFFAIRS.
But that need not follow at all. In
fact, II the course suggested by
Harding during the campaign is to
be followed and an attempt made TO
negotiata an Association OF ma
tions" or modification OF the
League OF Nations to meet his
views, the active aid OF all three
Of thsse International experts would
be almost imperative. Each would
1T into a particular part Of the Job
probably better than any other man
who might be found.
The Root-Lodge-Knox combtna-
ton which many persons believe is
possible and which would give Mr..
Harding the active assistance OF all
three in working out his foreign
program Droyides the following
lineup:
Knox for secretary OF state.
Lodge to continue as chairman OF
the Senate Foreign Affairs commit
tee and thus in charge OF all treaty
and foreign problems coming before
that body for ratification.
Root left free to servo as special
emissary or commissioner extrapr-
binary In negotiations With other
governments, whether concerning
treaties, association Of nations" or
the League.
Ali the major divisions OF the
party, ns distinguished by thsir
views on the League and our for
aign relations, would thus be given
recognition, and the ooTnerstones
laid for the meeting Of minds"
Lodge and Knox each have two
more years to serve OF their present
terms in the senate. The reBigna-
tion OF Knox to accept cabinet post
would not affect the senatorial ma
chinery as seriously as would that
OF Lodge, however.

concerned. In spite Of the viewing with alarm
