Ada Wildcat n Disappointment.
The test near Ada in Pontotoc
county In 32-5.5, put down by the
Carter Nance LaSalle oil company,
was drilled in the sand topped at
1850 feet and proved TO be a very
big disappointment, as only two feet
more OF sand was drilled through
until the bit went into shale. The
owner Of the well, which is now the
Carter Lowry OH company. as the
Lowry oil company OF Muskogee
paid 100000 for third interest in
the syndicate, claim that the cas-
ing has slipped down into the sand
and that when IL is raised the test
Will make a small producer. The
results found in this test are much
in the same line as those found iu
tests In the surrounding country In
the past, most of which have had
good Showings of OIL but with very
thin pays. Several other operations
In the vicinity OF the well are near
ing the sand depths, and are ex-
pectcd to furnish some news In the
next few weeks.

The territory around ingals,
which lies south and west OF the
Gushing field, was the scene OF con-
siderable excitement last week due
TO good shows of oil ana gas found
in several wildcat tests in that To-
cality and in one well the showing
is increasing as II is drilled deeper
In the sand. and IL has the indica-
tons of making a producer. This
test, which is the No. / Tulley OF the
Skelly oil company located In lis
4, topped the Bartlesvillo sand Mt
3 ,i53 feet, and had about q 1900
O00-foot gas showing in two feet OF
sand. II then went into a break until
3,464 feet, and now at one foot In
the sand found Just below the break,
~ reported TO be making about g.
OOO,0 feet of gas and spraying
some oil. This is by far the most
important test in this district. and is
being watched very closely 10y the
fraternity at large, other wildcat
tests in this district, which had
showings last week, were the No. l
well of Slick and others. located IN
21-I9-i. which had a show OF oil
IN sand from 3,52S to 3,55S feet;
however, water was encountered in
the bottom OF the sand and the well
cannot make more than a small pro-
ducer; the No. ! well OF the RoXana
Petroleum company located In l3-
la-A, which had an oil showing in
the Skinner sand, but the pay was
very thin and the test is being put
on down without testing the sand;
and the No. | Ashburn OF the Mag
nolia Petroleum company in 23-l9-4,
which is still shut down on top of
the skinner sand at 1889 feet with a
showing of oil.

TICK ERADICATION

n previous articles the League en-
phasized the importance of the farmers
at each vat organizing to promote
their interests. By organizing and
having a committee to represent them,
all the troubles that have vexed US in
the past can be met and dealt with
successfully. A letter before me says,
''the vat at our place is too filthy to
put cattle in. another says. the IN
spector wanted me to drive my cattle
into the vat when it was frozen over
with ice; another says, the inspec-
tor doesn't know a cattle tick from
a lone star tick; and SO on for pages.
IA committee Of citizens is the remedy.
This League has had conferences
with u. S. and State authorities and
they assure us that next year their IN
spectors will cooperate with the cit
izens' committee to the fullest. In adj
dition to this, the League will be ac-
tive in helping to solve every difficult
". We believe the work can be fin
Iished in one year. We know it can be
if the farmers will dip all the cattle
regularly. There's not difficulty that
the farmers can't solve if they set
their minds to it.
Keep the main purposes in mind.
We want our cattle to go on the mar
ket on the same plane as other cattle.

SEVERE ORDEAL FOR BRIDE
Afghan Beauty Treatment" Torture
to Which All Girls Approaching
Matrimony Must Submit.

The girl bride in Afghanistan is
subjected to Il very severe beauty
treatment. Some elderly ladies mas
sage her face, wash her hair and
anoint it with oil and perfume. Then
comes the tarr Zaddani or removal Of
the Super1luous hairs of the face. The
phrase, composed of two Persian
words-tarr meaning string. and zad-
dani, meaning beating-is highly ex-
preSsive of the act.
A thin silken string Is held close TO
the skin by one of the brides attend
ants; second attendant pulls the
thread out and giving it spin with
her index finger and thumb, let's it go.
AS it strikes the skin and springs
back. it pulls out the hair, Ikbal Ali
Shah writes in Asia Magazine The
position Of the string is changed and
the action is repeated. This very pain
full operation must be performed on
every bride, whether she has hairs On
her face or not. When the ordeal Is
over, the tortured face is washed with
warm water, without soap, and we'll

Origin of the Name "Sni-a-Bar."

This story is told regarding the Ori
gin of the name of Sni-a-Bar creek.
The story runs that in an early day a
Frenchman named Abar was ascending
the Missouri river in q Canadian boat.
Just below the present site of the
town of Wellington he came to the
mouth Of a little river or creek.
''See now, my children, mere we
have a sni. placed by the good God

to the river in Il mile or two. But in
mile it became apparent that 1t was
DO slough, but small stream. And
so the boat was turned and p0led BACK
to the Missouri. From this circum.

LUCKY SIXPENCE SAVED HIM
Good Story Of How Fate intervened
to Preserve Beau BrummeIl to
History's Pages.

The old superstition about the lucky
charm of crooked sixpence arose
early in the Eighteenth century, and
its author was none other than Beau
Brummel, the most famous of the
worlds dandieS, BruInmel, although
the bosom friend Of the prince of
Wales. came from common enough
stock, his grandfather having been a
valet. But he saved as did Brum-
mell's father, and Brummell had some
$4,000 to serve him. He became a
great gambler and good loser, often
night he played at Walters club. and
when he rose from the table he WAS
a pnuper. Not only that, but heavily
In debt.
He wandered out into the London
streets, with head doWncast; and as
he strolled along he picked up a
crooked SiXpenCe. In whimsical mo-
ment he returned to the club and
matched it with chance friend. He
won, matched again and again, and
Won each time. The game changed
to shilling matches, and then to gold
pieces and Brummell at the end Of
few minutes found himself with two
or three pounds. He went to the
gaming table, sat down, and when
dawn came and the game closed Re
had won over 1900 pounds. or about
$4,000. The crooked sixpenCe he car
ried with him for years. and shortly
after he lost it his bad luck arose
again, and he once more became q
