SPECIAL MEETINGS
CLOSED SUNDAY

The two weeks series of special
meetings held at the High School
Auditorium were brought to close
Sunday evening.
The last week DR.. Wright Of Denver
did all the preaching. We believe
that oil who heard him agreed that
he was strong preacher; that what
he said would be helpful to anyone,
and harmful to no one .,..4t
Personally, We considered the SER
ries Of sermons given unusually
strong presentation Of the claims OF
the Christian religion on the lives
of men.
1t was disappointment that more
did not hear them. In results, we
know that the speaker and others
hoped that something more tangible
would be seen, but no one knows
what was actually accomplished 1t
may be that rich harvest will come
ut a later time.
We hope to hope to hear the speak
er again many times.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING

Careful estimates show that on an
average, each person in the United
States, consumes per day. one glass Of
milk, one-third ounce Of butter, one
sixth-ounce of cheese and little
more than teaspoon Of ice cream.
Compared with the proportions Of
other foods consumed, this is dec
idedly low; in fact, 80 low that ones
health and efficiency are impaired by
a shortage OF these vital foods.
Government statistics show that
one out Of every four children In the
United States Is suffering from
malnutrition. The main reason Is
they do not receive these indispens-
able foods, all Of which contain that
vital element butterfat | insufficient
quantities. Conditions among adults
reveal the fact that hteir health and
efficiency are often below normal be-
cause of an improper choice Of foods.
Scientific authorities, prominent
among whom are DR.. Sherman of
Cornell, have shown that our pres
ent average expenditure for dairy
products In comparison with the to-
tai spent for food is 20 per cent
while 1t should be A per cent. All
leading food and health authorities
advocate wider use OF these vital
foods.

PROSPECT At
PADRONI PROMISING

Drilling an oil well is tedious work
until such q time a. there appear1
to be indications OF success, and then
feyerish excitement dispels all thot
Of drudgery. On top the ground ID
the rig. the cable, small portion on
an iron pipe In which the cable ID
working, steadily chugging steam
engine. and pools Of ugy mud. When
the hole begins to give Oft gas and
the mud from the casing takes on q
certain oder. there is occasion for sat
isfaction in the camp, but the unin-
formed see little or nothing new in
the situation.
Workers at the Sterling OIL COM
pany's well at Padroni believe that a
proucing well Is probability that Ia
by no means remote. The deep hole
for several days has been giving Oft
increasingly large amount Of gas
and the formation which Is being pi-
creed by the drill at depth of about
$4,000 feet. is declared to be one that
is common to rich oil fields. When q
match was touched to the gas this
morning It burned, for a period Of ten
minutes or longer
The drilling at the well has been
under way for week now, and dur
ing this timea distance OF about 100
feet has been made. The drill Fri
day worked in alternating starta Of
rock and sand, afterhaving pierced a
formation OF limerick. The belief
is expressed by William Ingsrsoll,
the driller, that another hundred
feet may result in striking oil in
considerable quantities. The pres
ence Of the gas. and the composition
OF the sand taken from the we'll, he
says. would indicate that oil In
some quantity Is to be found.
The black sand. when washed. has
a very marked odor similar to that
of crude oil. When muriatic acid is
applied, the reaction Is the same as
that with limerick. Encouraged by
these findings, Mr.. Ingersoll is re-
doubling his efforts In drilling and
the outfit Is kept In action as long
as there is light for the operations.
The well, following the IRE OF
last fall, has been fehtted with .
better rig than formerly, the engine
has been moved farther from the rig.
the housing has been replaced and
the work is progressing more salts
factorily.
1t is the purpose Of the Sterling
OIL company to continue drilling un-
til the present promising indications
are definitely exploited.
The company is composed entirely
OF local men. holding leases on large
tracts OF land about the well, and In
the event a paying well should be
brought in. the benefits to the COM
munity and to the stockholders Of
the company a. individuals would be
large. The company It Is stated,
will need raise a relatively small
amount OF. money II its operations
are continued to the point where the
possibilities OF the field can be deter
