NATIONAL GUARD
IS INSPECTED
MAJOR JOYCE GIVES BAND
AND INFANTRY UNIT
THE ONCE OVER

The occasional inspections of the
wisconsin National Guard are events
of no near Importance to individual
units, and last Tuesday night the
Twenty-second Separate company as
well as the Second Provisional band
stood the test befoNe Major M. c..
Joyce, instructor and inspector of the
w. \. G. First the band underwent
his thorough scrutiny; then the in
'fantrymen heard his commands and
executed them. The inspection was
another success for the local military
organizations and both Captain Fred
r. Becker and B. F. Schultz, director
of the Second Provisional, may feel
proud of their organizations.
Comparable to ANY
Comparable to any in Wisconsin"
was the majors verdict of the infan-
trymen after a thirty minute drill
which commenced at $50. To the
music of the Second Provisional the
men marched, executing various or
ders. Major Joyce Informed The COM
'pany of a few Irregularities in the
care of their rifles and urged that at
tendance. at drills be more regular.
During the inspection, Pvt. III. J..
Schieler fell forward, the result of
strained concentration while at at
tention. Before the company goes to
Camp Douglas next summer there will
in all probabilities be an outdoor in
spection when more details can be
covered. Capt Becker also spoke and
urged the men TO appear at drills more
regularly.
Increase Number
The Second Provisional band was
especially pleased when the Major
gave out the information that before
long the authorized strength of the
organization would be increased to
forty-eight men whereas it's limit of
membership now is twenty-eight. He
urged that the band continue its en-
thusiasm, particularly because there
are other bands in the state this year
that are going to afford hot competi-
ton at Camp Douglas. The major had
just heard the Appleton band play and
he declared>>its music was. hard to
beat. Twenty minutes were required
to complete inspection of the unit
Major Joyce, admitting that he knew
little about musical instruments, de-
clared that these appeared to be in
fine shape and praised the band unit
for its military appearance.
Major Joyce went to Merrill Wed
nesday to inspect the Merrill unit of
the Wisconsin National Guard

In two sensational dashes a Stude-
baker Iight-SiX recently broke all
records for speed between San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles, setting a new
mark for the round "trip, lowering
the coast record by hours So min
utes. 20 seconds, beating the best time
ever before made over the valley
route, and leaving 1.-THE Lark" most
famous of the fast coast express
trains, 3 hours AZ minutes and 80 Sc
conds in the rear.
s, On the first trip the drivers, Hart
L. Weaver and James c. Gurley, car
ried U. S. mail both ways between
San Francisco and Los Angeles, being
sworn in as federal officials upon
authority from Washington. In fact,
the journey was made for the purpose
of show ng the possibilities of the
motor car in transporting mail quick
ly.
The round trip, a distance of seas
miles, was covered by the Studebaker
in p hours % minutes The trip
down, over the coast route, dis
lance of 1887 miles, was made in
10 hours II minutes 30 seconds, as
compared with the previous best re-
cord of II hours 71minutes50 seconds
established in 1916.
The car and "The~r Lark" started
their dash to Los Angeles at the same
time. and it was on this occasion that
the Light Six beat the trains sched-
ule by over three and one-half hours.
After hanging up these records, the
Studebaker drivers went after the
fourth and only remaining speed
mark-that of lowering the previous
best time over the valley route They
succeeded in making the trip from
Los. Angeles to San Francisco over
this route, distance of ALL miles,
in 9 hours Is minutes SO seconds, Of
which time 35 minutes was spent in
crossing the ferry to San Francisco.
This record-breaking time was made
under difficult weather conditions. the
pilots being forced to drive through
dense fog 120 miles of the way
i These record breaking trips also
prove how an automobile can stand
long continued run without mechani-
cal trouble. In this case the car was
ready to start out on its second trip
Immediately after finishing the first.

INWARD LENDER GRANTED
PATENT APPLICATION

Mynard j. Gender, 1927 Third avenue
South, received an impressive looking
document from Wash ngton granting
his application for a patent on re-
cent invention he has perfected. The
invention embodies an idea for an i'm
provement on the present type of bed
pan, wherein it is made of paper stock
instead of metal. The application
claims several advantages for the new
bed pan, chief among them being the
fact that 1t can be destroyed immed-
lately after using. Local doctors who
have viewed the invention say that
this will be of great assistance in COM
batting contagious diseases. AT the
same time it will save both time and
labor and in addition it is inexpensive
and made folding SO that a number
of them can be stored in small space.
The inventor has several fattering
offers under consideration but has
not yet decided which he will accept.

At Elton, the we'll about five
miles north of Jackson, a company
is being perfected to continue OPERA
tons, financial troubles having aris-
en- which delayed operations several
months. 1t is understood that gas
also has been struck N this well
and a new derrick is to be erected,
and a small hole put down to the
depth where the gas was struck, in
order to tap this gas to use as fuel
to complete the well. If gas is
found in sufficient quantities it
would save much cost of fuel. The
people of Jackson hold out hopes,
and many have subscribed funds to
continue the well and give it a
thorough test
At Truly Lake IN Jefferson county
much interest is being taken in the
development. C. P. Link, the con-
tractor for this well, drilling for
the Manhattan Texas company, has
stated that they have encountered
gas as seven and eight hundred feet,
on one occasion the pressure lift
ing the drill to distance of three
or four feet, but drilling was con-
tinued as this is also a deep test
for the lower sands. All favorable
sand will be given a thorough test.
This well is down now about 1000
feet. Mr.. Link states that new cas-
ing will be set here, before continu-
ing in order to be prepared for any
unseen trouble that might occur,
The Madison county well is down

Oil Operations in Mississippi Are
Engaging Attention of State GeOIOgist

A full summary of the oil drilling
operations in Mississippi is given in
the following article from the Jack
son Daily News in its issue Of Feb
ruary 9
The test we'll of the Preston Oil
Company at Winona, now down
$500 feet and regarded as having
to present the most flattering pros
poets Of any project underway II
the state, will be drilled 500 feet
deeper, it is said authoriatively
here. The company is determined
to make a complete test of the field,
it is stated, and intends doing so
regardless of the expense. That the
concern is in earnest, is attested by
the fact that every cent of money
use din drilling operations came from
its headquarters office in Columbus,
Ohio, and was not raised in stock
selling.
The Winona well, it will be re-
called, struck what was believed to
be oil sand at 3,400 feet. Hoping
to get something better, it was
drilled a hundred feet deeper and
salt water was struck. An official
examination of the oil sands show
ed slight indication of oil, al
though none of the substance flowed
up from the well, as was once re-
ported.
1t is the intention of the drillers,
it is believed here, to drill to 1000
feet and if oil is not found there,
to shoot the sands found at 3,4O0
feet.
Another well DIR. E. N. Lowe, the
state geologist, is watching with in
trest is the one near Columbus. Diff
ficulty is being experienced in drill
ing and little progress is being made
right now. However, a standard rig
is being used and if oil is struck
there will be no doubt of it. 1t is the
first well upon which the standard
rig has been used from the beginning
The other tests now underway in
the state have not gone down far
enough to attract attention, except
possibly the one at Meridian, now
at 5000 feet Stock is beng raised
there to- drill several hundred feet
deeper. 1t is DR.. loves opinion that
a thorough test should be made since
the well is already down 5000 feet
About II wells are underway now.
< At Magnolia claims are made
that a gas sand was struck at 1,OOC
feet. As far as is known no test
has been made here and no authen-
tic. Information has beer given the
