NEW PRODUCER IN
WELSH OIL FIELD.
WelI Brought in by Local Oil Men
Promises to be One of
Best in Field.

Baling was completed last Friday
IafternoOn on the SCoggins-Jeter-H Hack
worth well No l at the Welsh oil
field pure oil rising to the surface
from the depths below, where mother
earth cOnceals her stOrehouse of
wealthy treasure that only a chosen
few may partake thereof.
Mr.. HackWOrth was driller of the
we'll and he had watched its develop,
Iment throughout the process Of drill,
ing with knowing pride. Confidence
was the WatChWOrd with Mr.. SCOggins.
He was on the ground when the baler
brought to the surface its first load
of the greasy fluid. This was not Mr.,
SCoggins' first venture in the oil bust
ness, however, and he has learned the
Tart of Concealing emotions somewhat.
Mr. Jeter, the remaining partner in
the new concern, occupies a distinctly
different position. He had never in.
vested in oil dOings of any kind, other
than to buy crude at the distributing
stations. He was even reported to be
so calous on the subject that stock
statesmen never visited him with their
wares, The way Mr. Scoggins edged
into him with the proposition though
he was taken unaWareS and landed
up to his ankle in a business which
for him was full of doubtful fOrebOd-
ings Mr.. Jeter wouldn't acknowlede
as much to a reporter, but it is quite
sure that he is higly elated over the
first venture
Although the oil in the we'll came
to the surface, it did not flow as eX-
pected. The pump is being set in it
and the amount of its output will be
determined within a few days. 1t will
be good producing we'll and quite
profitable, owing to the present high
price Of crude.
This we'll is located on the ]. E..
Ervine & Co. tract in the south part
of the field, five acres having been
sub-leased by Messrs. ScOggins, Jeter
and Hackworth from the Crescent
drilling Company, a Georgia concern,
The owners announce that they will
begin drilling another well just as
soon as this one is put on the pump.
With the lease they secured a well
that will produce about twenty bar,
rels per day, and it will be pumped in
conjunction with the new one.
The bringing in of this well marks
the beginning of q period of renewed
activity for the Welsh Oil Field. In
dications are that number of other
companies will be working there in
la short time.
One of the principal holdings in
the field, seventeen acres on the crest
Of the dome, is at present tied up in
litigation, to an extent hampering
development The legal tangle it is
presumed will be Strengthened out be-
fore long.
The Welsh field is a peculiar one.
| it has produced oil continuously, but
in varying quantities since it was first
opened up more than eighteen years
ago. It contains a number of oil bear.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails 10 remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain. ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moistcn
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning. most If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone. and three or
four more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly. and YOUR hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy. silky and soft and
look and feel E. hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all YOU will need: This
sim. lie remedy has nexer been known
to fail-Adv.

A Bit Of Professional Wisdom

A few years ago much was said
respecting sweat shops in which
garment workers toiled their lives
away in servitude. Now we hear of
their proposal to raise a million dol
lar reserve fund, their demand for a
Ave- day week and a 4S-week year.
1t is easy to Understand the ap-
plause which greeted a speaker at
the convention Of The Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Of America this
week when he declared it to be the
strongest immigrant Iakor organi-
cation in America today and it's
growth little short of miraculous"
No one with good American blood
in bis veins but is pleased whenever
toll and earnest endeavor are re-
warded Were it otherwise we
might as well stop trying to be
Americans. On the other hand If
American shrewdnsss be what it is
lauded it will considerably take into
account the 'headiness' of success.
II the clothing workers may force
prices as high as they please and
may proceed to work only when
they happen to feel like i. they must
