TO DRILL FOR OIL
NEAR JENKINS
Barry County Oil and Gas Company
Will Start First Well this Week.
Confident Of Rich Deposits
Of Oil

The Barry County Oil and Gas Com
pany will begin drilling for oil the
last Of this week. The we'll will be put
down on the Charles Potter place one
mile west of jenkins.
The Company has set up an oil rig
which is capable Of drilling 3400 feet.
Four thousand feet of casing are on
the ground and a full crew of men is
getting ready to drill as soon as a
few more tools arrive from Kansas
City.
]. A. Hibbard, secretary Of the
Company, and Leonard SuttIes, a
stockholder were in Monett, Wednes-
day, interesting Monett citizens I'M the
Barry county well. Members of the
Commercial club signified their in
tention Of driving to jenkins as soon
as the drilling is under way to look
over the field and see what the jenkins
people are doing.
Monett is interested in the outcome
Of this prospect, for the town would
be the logical place for refineries
should the field prove to be up to
expectations. jenkins is only eighteen
miles from Monett and rich field of
oil and gas there would bring riches to
the metropolis of the county.
Mr.. Hibbard said that the Barry
County Oil and Gas Company had
leased 25,000 acres of land in solid
block. Those taking stock, get an
interest in the whole field and not
merely in one well. They are selling
stock in units of $1,000.
r. o. Bodine, of Liberal, Kan, and
L. F. Denman, of Shreveport, La,
both experienced geologists, came to
jenkins to make a survey Of the field,
the citizens of Jenkins having made
up a fund to pay them for their SER
vices. After surveying the field, the
men were 50 well pleased with the
structure which they found that they
immediately took steps to help in the
organization Of company to develop
the field. Mr.. Bodine is president Of
the Barry County Oil and Gas Com
pany, which was formed Oh their re-
port, and +. r.. Denman Is the vice
president.
The leading citizens of Jenkins are
officers or stockholders in the com
pany. J. T, Blythe, president Of the
Bank Of jenkins, is second vice presi-
dent; j. A. Hibbard, real estate man,
is secretary and G. j. Thomas, assis-
tant cashier Of the bank is treasurer.
Trustees are E. L. Thomas, cashier of
the bank, G. ]. Thomas and R. o.

many of the farmers around Jenkins
have taken units.

MONET HAS STRONG
TEACHING CORPS
Public Schools Have Efficient Instruc-
tors for this Years Work.

The Monett School Board, due to its
efficiency and promptness, has secured
exceptionally strong corps Of teachers
for the coming year. Although there
were eight vacancies in the grades and
five in the High school, because of
teachers leaving the profession or Of
their going to other places to teach,
only one place is untitled now, and
there are strong applicants for that
position
Because Of the high standards for
new grade teachers in a.
teachers training system such as ours,
boards often find it difficult to find
teachers of such high qualifications.
X However the new grade teachers for
the coming year are far above the re-.
quirements set by the State Depart
rnent Many Of them have had sue
cessful experience, and practically all
have had as much as so hours Of col
lege work. These new teachers for
the grades are, Mr. Fred Seamster,
principal Central school, Miss Kathryn
Crum, Miss Lucille Wagner, Mrs
Beulah Watson Taylor, Miss Virginia
Townsend, Miss Dorothy Burke, Miss
Anna Wurnett.
The High school vacancies are all
v filled by strong, well trained, ex-
perienced instructors. The complete
High school faculty is as strong as can
be found in any high school of
Southwest Missouri. Surely the
prospects for great progress at our
High school were never SO bright.
The principalship has been accepted
by L. v. Galbraith. Mr.. Galbraith
comes with three years teaching ex-
perience, two years service with the
U. S. Army and degree from South
west Teachers College. He won
honors both in debate and in oratory
while in college. He was the honor
speaker for his graduating class In
1916. He is now one of the most
progressive efficient, promising young
school men Of Southwest Missouri.
Miss Louise Wright, the English
teacher, comes armed with three years
experience and with the B. S. in edu-
cation degree She was trained both
III Southwest Teachers College ana III
Druly College. She ranks at the top
: as an English instructor and as a
director Of debate and oratory.
Mrs p. E. An4ssw, who will have
the Latin and public speaking courses
has very superior training and ability
for her particular work. Her higher
education was obtained in Drury and
in Teachers College. She has had
several years successful experience.
She has done much work in dramatics.
Miss Bessie Meador graduated from
Teachers College last summer. She
has specialized in History and will
have that work in our High school
She has had four years experience,
two Of which were spent ais principal
Of consolidated high school and the
other two as history instructor in the
Mansfield High school. She comes
very highly recommended.
The Mathematics instructor will be
Miss Lydia Jennings. She is now in,
Teachers College and ranks as one Of
the best mathematics students. She
has been sought after by many
school boards of this section. Her ex-
perienee in teaching is not lacking. N
The teachers who remained at the
High school need no recommendations.

Portuguese citizens to the United States

"Innumerable emigrants continue to
arrive in Lisbon from all parts of the
country on their way to Brazil and the
United States,' says the SeculO. 1t is
necessary to stop this avalanche and
avoid this calamity. not only because the
hundreds that are leaving this country
are needed in the fields and workshops
but also because they are going to suffer
in strange country all manner of sor-
row and misery

from Portuguese workman in New
Bedford. Mass textile factory. who
sent a warning to his fellow countrymen
not to go to that city. He said that
soon after he found employment he sent
for his wife and children and they sold
their farm in Portugal to pay for their
transportation across the Atlantic. Then
illness and the closing of the factory re-
duced the family to extreme misery and
the Portuguese now desires only to re
turn to die in Portugal. lie declares
that of the Portuguese who remain in
New Bedford, many are in abject misery

Milk Distribution System is Theme
of High School Address 7hursdau

The same thing has been done by
the prune growers. They have so i'm
proved the market that by 1924 there
will be three times as many prunes
grown as when they started to adver-
use. They are now opening up new
markets to take care of the larger pro-
duction. They are advertising in ia
pan and China that prunes will make
a good combination with rice and are
trying to increase England's consump-
ton five fold to equal that of the Unit
ed States. .
Should Use Own Product.
Lack of faith in their own product
was mentioned as a cause for weak
ness in the dairy Industry. Many
dairymen use oleomargarine on their
own tables instead of butter" said
Lincoln. yet one analysis of oleo-
margarine showed it to contain fats
from the city sewage and packing
plants, besides the vegetable fats OF
which it is principally composed.
Animal fats are the only ones with
nutritive elements essential for
growth, the vitamines, and we must
believe that ourselves and advertise
it to others. An animal fed on vege-
table fats exclusively, will always
-starve, according to experiments at
the state universities"
eff our industry is improved 1t
must be done by ourselves not alto
gether by leaders. We must come out
to the meetings, take off our coats and
work. We can't depend on the other
fellow nor kick if he don't do what
we want. We must do it ourselves.

WOMEN
FORM PISTOL CLUB
(By Associated Press)

PITTSBURGH. Feb; Is. The wo-
men of four Pittsburgh suburbs have
organized pistol club for the purpose
of protecting themselves and their
homes against robbers. For several
months, robbers have been active in
Ardmore, Bryn Mawr, Edgewood Acres
and lockwood, and several women
have been attacked.
In order to cope with the situation
more than a score of women residents
of the suburbs purchased pistols, met
yesterday and organized the club.
Thomas Wiechart, former major of
the United States army, attended the
