Ring Out the Old!
Ring in the New!

A ND now we hear the tollipg bell
"a That sounds the Old Years dying knell,
And safe within the fleeing past
Its good and evil will be cast,
10 oft return, In future hour,
Brought by retentive memory's power.
And what the New Year, ere its close,
May have in store, mortal knows.
But if all men good and true,
And would their Christian duty do,
The world would seem to hear again
Sweet peace earth, good will to mem"
Then all could shout, the whole world through,
"Ring out the Oldl Ring in the Newl'
0H, THINK of those bound down by sorrow,
Now longing for some glad tomorrow
To tighten up the heavy load,
That they must bear upon life's road,
Who journey on from cay to day.
Along lifes cold and rugged way,
Still longing, they onward tread,
For deeds undone words unsaid,
Though friendly smile or kindly hand
Two things at every ones command
Would help to soothe the gnawng pains
Or break the links of sorrows chain.
So, Christian friends, your duty do
Ring out the Oldl Ring In the Newl
WITHIN learned land like this
w Some think that ignorance is bliss,
While ruthless hands and scheming fools
Make rule ruin their vicious tools;
With no respect for God or man,
Destructive methods their plany
Not using reason for defense,
Resort they to fools violence;
Imaginary wrongs they'd right,
BY senseless torch dynamite.
Oh, rulers of our mighty land,
Check this vile scourge with hrmer handI
Then tranquil peace will come in lieu
Ring out the Old! Ring in the New!
DEAR this in mind, what e'er befall,
~ The hand Divine rules ALL
And when greet the glad New Year,
With all its joy and social cheer,
Let each resolve his best to give,
That this old world may better live.
And as we go but this way,
Let's shed sweet sunshine's golden ray,
And bring good cheer to hearts bowed down
BY adversity's cold, sullen frown.
Then when the sands of life are run,
Wen hear the welcome, ''Well, well donel
Come, reap the joys prepared for you'll"
Ring out the Old! Ring in the New!

Wildcat Wells
Being Struck In
Northern Field

Shreveport, La. April e.-Wndcat
operations are attracting considerable
attention in ths northern Louisiana
field. where at the present time ap-
proximately 159 wildcat wells are
being sunk outside Of the proven
fields OF Homer, Bull Bayou and
Caddo districts. These wildcat op-
erations are going down chiefly in
Claiborne. Bossier De Soto and Bien-
vile parishes. at a cost Of approx
mately S6.0O0,000.
Between two and three months
drilling is necessary before passing
through the soft formations found in
the northern part Of Louisiana 10 the

ever. operations have been greatly
hindered during the past three
months OF heavy rains. which have
made II practically impossible to get
materials and much needed supplies

proach OF summer, operators look
forward 10 completing their wells at

ties. In a short time sufficient stor-
age tanks for the handling o. r.
