Deep Test Near Reelfoot Lake.

Drilling is being pushed as rapidly
as is consistent with safety by the
operators, Rooney, Mitchell & Bruer,
of Hickman, KY. The test is now
about 2245 feet deep, and drilling in
rock, which formation is now about
ESQ feet. This rock has softened con-
siderably, which has enabled the
driller to make more feet of hole
each day. Everyone in this section is
indeed anxious that this test be con-
tinued to determine whether or not
there is oil beneath this formation as
predicted by a number of biologists
and oil men. All tests heretofore made
in the Reelfoot Lake vicinity ceased
operation before this rock, or drilled
a few feet into it. This well is now
165 feet deeper than any test has
gone in the defined oil field Are we
to deny our neighboring towns, Hick-
man, Martin, Clinton, riptonville,
Ridgely our financial aid on the
community plan of drilling this well
to the depth predicted that an oil ho-
rizon will be encountered? We need
an oil we'll at this time to awaken us
from our depressed condition, giving
us new life and prosperity. A repu-
table geologist has recently remarked
that it would be shame for this
we'll to fail in going to depth be-
low the gulf enjoyment. Let us
resolve that we will buy the lots in
this oil we'll subdivision to finance
the payroll and fuel expenses of this
we'll and settle the oil question at
Reelfoot Lake. Not one individual
can be financially injured under the
plan by which this well is being
drilled.

| Suppose that now-now when there
is nothing for the average farmer to
sell, now when we have so many idle
men, women and children in our
midst, now when money is so difficult
to get, that we had the acreage of
Strawberries that our neighboring
towns of Kenton, Dyer and Hum
boldt have. This acreage under an
average yield and average price
would bring us from $75,000.00 to
100000. Would that help? Then
what about the future? Are we go
ing to go ahead and plant our corn
and cotton and nothing else, or are
we going to protect ourselves by di-
versifcation? Statistics show that
for West Tennessee the average yield
per acre is from $4,000 to $4,000
for strawberries. How does that
compare with our corn and cotton
average? 1t is not too late, if we get
busy, to put out strawberries and
let's not fool ourselves into thinking
that we can't FOOL" with growing
strawberries-we can't afford it. The
writer is a business man but has
picked Strawberries, has worked
Strawberries, has grown strawber-
ries, has marketed strawberries and
has eaten strawberries, and knows
something about what they mean to
the producer Plants. can now be
bought for $500 per thousand. Put
out from one to five acres. work them
good for one year and then let the
children help harvest a great crop
for four or five years. An average
boy or girl of ten years can earn from
one or two dollars a day picking
strawberries. Let's make Union City
the shipping point for the berries
for not less than two hundred acres
of Strawberries and see this grow to
the biggest strawberry section invest
Tennessee. We now have an acreage
of SO or 60 acres being put out. Let's
make it 100 acres this spring.

summer work if any is ordered. He
did not take charge Of the squad till
September last fall and the poor
work of the team in the fundamentals
was by some critics attributed to the
fact that he was not present during
the spring work. Not in recent his
tory has Yale had so poor a team in
tackling and handling.
Jones possesses the confidence and
admiration Of the Undergraduate body
and the alumni, and the fact that he
has been in the shipbuildlng business
for three years, and out Of constant
football, is not regarded by them as
indicating that his coaching clever
ness has been affected.
DR.. AL Sharpe is still retained az d.
rector Of athletics, and a loud protest
would go up from the undergraduates
and alumni If he were to be retired.
He is not likely to be reappointed head

is not retained. He has offers from
several other colleges and it is uncer.
tain whether he will accept one Of

ing or viii remain athletic director.

Inspiring Sermon
byRev. Maury

Synopsis Of sermon by Rev. C. n.
Maury, pastor Of the First Presbvte-
rian Church:
Text: Joshut iii:4-"Ye have not
passed this way heretofore
Israel about to pass over Jordan
into an unknown land.
Likewise, we have just passed out
of the old year into the new. We are
entering untried paths, and facing
new experiences. This suggests some
practical thoughts:
l. The year upon which we have
entered may bring new perplexities
and difficulties; therefore, we should
seek afresh the divine guidance.
z. The year may bring new af-
Elections; therefore we should culta
Vate closer communion with God.
The year may bring new temp
tation, and we are therefore called
upon to watch and pray.
4. The year may bring new priv
ileges, which we should be prepared
to embrace. New opportunities for
progress and achievement.
5. The New Year may bring new
calls to obedience, untried, difficult,
discouraging. What shall we do be-
fore the swellings of the Jordan of
and obedience? AS we
walk boldly and fearlesslv to the wa
ters, they shall divide before us: and
He who led Israel to the land of
promise viii also lead us through the
trials and difficulties of this life to
the distant land of the New Canaan.

"Get away from home. You
