Butler Ball Players Real
Sportsmen."

The Urich Herald in commenting
On the game between Uricn asd Butler
base ball teams, played in Butler a
few Sundays ago says: The Urich
boys came home feeling mighty good
towards the Butler team. They say
they found them to be bunch OF real
ball players, team OF real sportsmen
and on the square all of the time and
a good team to hook up with any
time
Butler has played games nearly ev-
cry Sunday so fai this season and no
team has gone home feeling that they
had the worst OF it and every one Of
them would be glad to come back.
They scored decisive victory over
the fast Pleasanton team and not a
man on the Plcasanton team had a
word to say against the treatment
they received from the management
or any one connected with the Butler
team. Rockville, Sevnda, Harrison
ville-in fact, all the teams that have
been here this year have a good word
to say for the Butler bali boys. All
of which is mighty fine reputation
to have.

BATES COUNTY OIL :
PROSPECTS
Rich Hill Company Drills Deep, En-
ID. couraged by Scientific
Reports.

SFSs :
Kansas City Post, July Fl.
Butler, Mo-, July 3o.-Bates county
is in the midst of an oil boom. In the
southern part of the county along the
Bates-Vernon county line and from
Rich Hill to Old Papinville, distances
of 10 miles and near both the Usage
and Marais DIES Cygnes rivers, geolo-
gists report conditions favorable and
a company has been formed at Rich
Hill to develop this field. 1t has a
we'll more than 500 feet deep and ex"
poets to drill 1000 feet if oil is not
struck at higher level.
Residents of Rich Hill and vicinity
got together and decided to make
thorough test for oil through deep
we'll. Oil has been found south OF
Rich Hill in Vernon county on the
Henshaw farm.
The new we'll is on the Philbrick
farm, three miles east of Rich Hill.
Drillers are working every day, in
GLIDING Sundays.
The we'll has attracted attention OF
the oil world and many visitors from
distance visit his place. Being only
two miles from the Jefferson high
way, tourists daily inspect the proper
ty.
Both the United States geological
survey and the Missouri state geo.
logical department have made favor
able reports on this district and the
company had three biologists make
reports before drilling.
To develop this enterprise the Rich
Hill Oil Company was formed. 1t is
composed of business. men and farm
ers OF that vicinity Judge Frank A.
Strickland of the Bates county court
is president. c. J. Lane, farmer, is
vice-president. w. w. Jamison,
mayor of Rich Hill and assistant
cashier of the Farmers and Merchants
bank, is secretary and treasurer.
Other stockholders are R. N. Mont
gomery, president of the Commercial
State bank; George B. Dowell of the
Beasley Mercantile company; Robert
Thompson farmer; J. J.. kerns, large
land owner and promoter of the
drainage ditch along the Marais des
Cygnes river
The company has leases on more
than 10000 acres. The company is en-
tirely free from promotion stock
Every share is actually paid for in
cash and every dollar less the actual
expense, goes into the development of
the property

Levy's Dollar Day Sale a Success

The Dollar Day Sale held by the
Sam'l Levy Mercantile Company Sat-
urday was one of the most success
full sales held in this city for many a
day. Several hours before the adver-
tised time for the opening OF the
doors the sidewalk in front of the
store was crowded with women, each
waiting for some of the great bar
gains told about in the full page ad-
-xertisement- The Times last week
and other papers. When the doors
opened there was ! great rush and the
force of clerks which had been aug
mentdd by the addition of several ex-
tras was completely overwhelmed.
From then on until closing time the
store was crowded with buyers, man.
OF them from the extreme limits OF
the county.
This sale proved one thing con-
clusively and that was that people
study the advertising pages of their
papers. Especially is this true at the
present time when everybody is striv-
ing to make tn e dollar do its full duty.
