Area Being Watched.

For more than year, the Gorton
company has been working on a test
on the Rigney farm offsetting the
Wagner well on the east. Various
reports have come from this we'll.
one of which reports several months
ago had it hopelessly in salt water.
They resumed drilling at this loca-
ton Thursday afternoon, however.
and the belief in the field is that
they are drilling the well in.

On the map, the distance from
Gorton's Wagner well to the nearest

The Rose Bush.

Once there was a rose who had two little buds. One was happy and content ed, but the other always wanted some thing.
 T wish the elves would bring me & star instead of dew every night The drop is soon gone, but star would shine splendidly and I should be finer than all the other flowers" said the naughty bud one night. s
 "But you need the dew to live, and the moon needs the stars up there to light the world" answered the good bud.
 "I won't have the dew, and if I can not get q star will take a firefy to shine a fresh drop that had just fallen on her and folded her leaves around a bright fly.
 Foolish child!" cried the rose mother, 'Iet the fly go before he harms you"
 But the silly bud held the arehy closer till in it's struggles it tore her leaves and flew away. When the hot sun came up the poor bud hung all faded or, her stem. longing for cool drop to drink Now l must die. Oh, why was vain and sillyT' sobbed the poor bud, faint in the heat. s Then the mother. leaning over her, and ] from her bosom, where she had hiddcr 1 1t, the dewdrop fell on the thirsty bu6 l and while she drank it eagerly the ross drew her closer. whispering .'Iittle dar 1 ling, learn to- be conten:ed with wl,ai | heaven sends you and make yourself lave !; ly by being good" ANNA SIMsKA, Ass IA.

CHRISTENSEN SEES PASSING
 OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 3-Parley F. Chri istensen. presidetial nominee of the Farmer-Labor Party. sees in the vic tory of Senator Harding the elimination of the democratic party as factor in national politics. In statement today Ne said:
 "our vote is very satisfactory. The result means that the next fight will be between the republican and the Farmer Labor parties Democratic cannot come back. Organized labor also has learned it's lesson. We cannot hope for relief from either of the old parties. Tn the next fight labor will be united with the farmers and other forward looking peo- ole in the Farmer-Labor party. The vote for Harding is very largely pro test vote. a vote Of disgust with condi- lions and especially against the Wilson administrate7-. Our campaign has just
 commenced Today we begin organiza- l.ion work for the congressional elections of 1922 looking to complete rout of
 the old reactionary republican party in 1 t924"

My Trip to Springfield.

Dear Uncle Jed: One beautiful day we went to Springfield. When we got up there it was laundering and after a little while they brought chairs and then my brother Willis and the man that we were visiting brought some apples and We ate them
 Then my grandmother said we had bet ter be going home, so my cousin went 10 put up the curtains of the car. Ae we were getting into it, it began to rain.
 We went under railroad bridge and the ears were stoDpe1 there, as they did not. want to go on while it was raining. As we went under the railroad bridge the water was up to the hub caps. We could see the lightning. and the thunder was so loud that We could not hear the engine at all.
 Later we saw a car try to go by an- other car and it couldn't and it turned 1 turtle. One man was hurt a little
 When we got home we asked my grand father if he had heard the thunder and told him We had to go through an awful shower. My mother said that she didn't want to go through another one. I had very | nice time. even though l was out in the | shower.

 s In a room at St LuketS hospital, New York, Is thirteen year old Francis Mo Glire. the sole survivor of the fatal au- tomo6ile accident at Dobbs Ferry, in which his aunt. uncle, father, mother, brother and sister lost tne'r lives.
 His father was a prominent Bronx physician. wonderful man. who be- came both friend and physician after his first visit
 Although through his business ability he arnassed a fortune of approximately s350,0o0, he was, as plain as an ordinary business man, and he reared his chil- dren to know the value of money. Two weeks after the death of his en- 1 tire family, Francis insisted upon seeing them, snd 1t was then, the sad news l was told to him. The little boy cried the entire day. and when his fathers sis ! ter visited him he said: 1 ''Oh. auntie, how I shall miss them" And in the next breath he said: Nov shall have to go to work I wonder where can get job?" ! Tn his childish mind his father hat 1 taught that in order to live all men mus or. should, work. and he realized that be reft of his father and mother he wal without support.
 It never entered his mind that hi! | father was rich man. Francis nevel heard the expression in his home whicf 50 often echoes through the homes o others Get whatever you want: you l father has plenty of money" This wa, l the first time he heard that his fathe, was rich.
