ANTI-6EFR ACT
is REWRITTEN
Substitute Measure Requires Search
Before Entering Homes
For Liquor.

Washington, Aug. 17.-An agree
ment reached late today by senate and
house conferees on the Willis-C Camp
bell anti-beer bill, the house substitute
for the Stanley amendment adopted
by the senate relating to searches and
seizures without warrants was rewrit-
ten to impose penalties on federal
agents who conduct searches without
reasonable cause and who enter pri-
vate dwellings, In search of liquor
without search warrants.
AS rewritten conferees said tonight
the amendment does not contain the
house provision limiting the issue of
search warrants covering private resi-
dences to cases where there is reason
to believe that liquor is being manu-
factured for sale or sold on the prem
ises.
All other senate amendments were
retained and Senator Sterling, Repub-
lican, South Dakota, who had charge
of the bill in the senate, said he would
submit a draft of the agreement to
senate conferees who were not present
at today's meeting in the hope of
having the report ready for senate
consideration tomorrow.

NATIONAL BANK
CHARTER EXTENDED
Local Institution Completes Thirty
Years Successful Operation. Ac-
tive in Community Advance
ment.

The First National Bank of Monett
today received an extension of it's
charter, which calls to mind the fact
that the bank started operation in
1892 as the Commercial Bank. The
bank operated as State Bank until
1901, at which time it was chartered
as National Bank.
The bank is at present practically
thirty years cid and the extension of
the charter received today is oper-
ative until 1941, a period of twenty
years more.
This bank has been active in
practically every program for the ad-
'vancement Of the community during
the past thirty years and Monett and
this vicinity is to be congratulated on
having an institution of this character
in it's midst.

ELDORADO OIL GUSHER
is GROWING

| The following article appeared in
the Kansas City Times of August II,
concerning gusher brought in near
Eldofado, Kansas in the field brought
in by r. O. Bodine, the geologist who
was instrumental in locating the Jen-
kins well:
"Eldorado, Kan, Aug. 16.-The
Lucas gusher is growing larger. The
giant producer, which was brought in
Friday night by Brennan and Wilson
in eastern Butler County, is pouring
more oil into the earthen ponds today
than any time since it came in. 1t
is believed the well is making more
than 1000 barrels day.
"Rapid headway is being made in
rushing pipe line to the gusher, and
sit is believed the first oil can be sent
throagh it tomorrow morning. If it is
the gusher will then be turned into
the permanent tankage, which has
been erected and pumps will be set to
work clearing the earthen ponds. The
rush Of operators to Eldorado con-
tinues, and the town is beginning to
lcok like the days following the bring
ing in of the big gushers on the shum-
way. f% sAE3
"Many pieces of acreage have
changed hands at high figures. Three
new tests are announced in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the gusher. The
most important will be one-half way
between the big well and the Young
field. This will be an effort to con-
meet the two pools"
The article is especially interesting
locally for the reason that R. O. Bo-
dine, president Of the Barry County
Oil and Gas Co, was the geologist who
passed on the structure and located
the we'll just drilled in. Mr., Bodine
owns 1O40 acres of leases in a solid
block just 500 feet from this we'll.
His own well is down to the same oil
sand with 200 feet Of oil standing in
the ,!e ard the bit six inches in the
sand.
The well will be brought in as soon
as Mr.. Bodine can reach Eldorado
and give his advice and council. Mr..
Bodine feels optimistic this morning
as he has suddenly had his property
rise from doubtful values to millions .
over night. He states that in his
opinion the Jenkins Valley well is To-
,ated on the same anticline as the
Eldorado well with the outward show
ngs much more convincing of heavy
production.

BODINE LOOKS AFTER
KANSAS OIL WELL

R. o. Bodine, President of the Barry
County Oil and Gas Co., is leaving
today for Eldorado, Kansas, where he
has a large lease hold and extensive
oil interests. He has telegraphic in
formation that he has we'll coming in
there which demands his attention.
The drill is on top of the sands with
200 feet of oil standing in the hole
from a stray sand above. The drillers
are afraid to drill into the sand with
out the expert of advice of their geo.
logist Mr.. Bodine. He will be gone
several days. In the meantime the
Barry County Oil and Gas Co., will
continue with it's drilling.
Mr.. Bodine is a field geologist of
natural reputation and is known in
every producing field in the United
States. He has been in the oil busi-
ness all his life and has opened up
several large fields including the
Billings Oklahoma field, Kiefer, Okla
homa and the Drumright extension
and several wells in Kansas and other
states.
He had run out the structure of
several different fields and oil was
subsequently discovered on every
structure. Of all fields of which he
has done geological work, he says that
the Jenkins Valley Anticline has the
earmarks of surprising them all. Mr..
Bodine expressed himself of the
opinion that many people of this
vicinity are letting the opportunity
slip by of getting in on real thing
of great possibilities. The unit sale
of the Barry County Oil and Gas Co.,
is satisfactorily and hundreds of Mo-
nett people are already financially

Wool received at concentration

according to officials in charge Of wool

is due largely TO the demonstrations
conducted last season by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
showing the proper manner of han

The owners of wool clips who were
penalized In 1920 on account of sisal
twine, burrs or seed have taken pre-
cautions this season to see that their
product is free from Objectionable for

is much smaller than in 1920 with
considerable number of fieeces box

Especial emphasis has been placed
on the work of the expert graders in
demonstrating 10 producers and 9th
ers the value Of grading the wool clip.
The subdivisions within the grades es-
tablished enable the producers of long
staple wool to obtain full value for
their clip on the basis Of grade. In
addition to the regular grades, provi-
sion also is made for the various kinds
Of defective wool which constitutes
rejects. The wool growers are real
ing the value Of grading and the ne

from their wool in order to obtain the
maximum return for their product.
