OIL FIELD NOW IS
QUITE WELL DEFINED
Productive Area In Knox Co.
Seems Limited To Square
Mile Near Gambler

Operations in the oil territory Of
Knox county, east of Gambler in
Harrison and Clay townships, have
been at low ebb for some weeks
Not only has the extreme low point
to which the price of crude oil has
fallen tended to discourage produc-
ton, but the pumping of wells in the
territory developed also has tended to
define the limits of the field.
Up to the present time oil in pay
ing quantities has been found within
the area of practically square mile
in the southern part of Harrison town
ship and the northern part of Clay,
with the John Mckee farm as the
Iroximate center of operations and
production. 1t is true that larger
area is under lease but it is practic-
ally undeveloped.
There are some fairly good wells on
farms adjoining the John Mckee farm,
but almost without single exception
all those wells distant half mile or
more from the John Mckee farm are
either very light producers, busters or
gassers only. While it is true this
unproven territory has not been fully
tested out what has been done has
not tended to greatly extend the pro-
ductive territory.
The Ross Black we'll was pumped
all day Monday but produced oil for
only as minutes. The we'll contains
much salt water.
The John Mckee No. / we'll was
shot Tuesday. The well filled with 375
feet of oil In one hour. The bailer
when sent down, brought up no water.
A location for No. has been made.
A rig also is on location for the Julia
Mckee No. 3.
The drill is down about 400 feet in
the George E. Purdy, No. 1.
The drillers at the Willis Bebout
No. have been having hard luck.
Quicksand and light rig together
have been giving them no end of trou.

FIRM PLANS BRANCH
STORE IN DANv|LLE
Knecht-F eeney Co. to Extend
Operations Going After
New Business

1t is learned that the Knecht-Feeney
Co. is making arrangements to open a
branch store in Danville. The early
completion of a service line to Dan
vile opens that field to the line in
which the Knecht-Feeney Co. special
ICES, contracting for installations,
electric wiring and all kinds of elec-
trio supplies.
Mr. George Knecht today informed
The Banner his firm already has leas-
ed store room in Danville and pur-
poses to install stock of supplies
and fixtures as soon as it can be done.
Fred Seibold is now in Danville in
charge of the preliminary work. Mr..
Knecht plans to give large portion
of his time and personal attention to
the Danville branch.
1t is the purpose of the Knecht-
-Feeney Co. to give the people of Dan
vile through the branch store the
same service and the benefit of the
same prices that patrons in Mt. Yer.
non enjoy. The Danville field at this
time is particularly inviting and there
is reason to believe that the people OF
that community will be found appre
ciative of the enterprise of the Knecht
Feeney Co. in going to them instead
of inviting them to come to Mt. Yer
non.

SULLIVAN MAKES A
NEW HIGH RECORD
Breaks SO Birds In Competi-
tion Shoot Of Knox Co. Gun
Club On Thursday

Rain had no terrors for the men,
bers for the members of the Knox
County Gun club who held their week
ly shoot on Thursday afternoon at the
club traps near the plant Of the Knox
r. & r. Co. Those few who were de.
tered by the afternoon shower today
have heard those who staid and took
part in the shoot that the club had
held the best shoot 1t has staged this
far this season. The rain seemed to
have no i'll effect and the shoot went
on in spite of the storm.
One feature was the breaking of
the club record for 100 birds by Max
Sullivan who broke SO birds. This is
new high mark for the other mem
bers to go after. Mr.. Sullivan was in
excellent form and did some excellent
shooting throughout the afternoon.
In the so bird shoot the high mark
was made by F. ]. Austin of Sparta
who broke 4S.
The members of the club held o
short business meeting at which Sec
retary II. r. Warner read statemen,
showing that the club is now out o
debt and has small balance in its
treasury. Two new members were ad
mitted to the club bringing the mem
bership total up to 20.
The membrs also discussed with en-
thusiasm plans for shoot to be hell
on Labor day, September 5. This i
is purposed to make the largest ant
best of the seasons events. 1t is in
tended to send to each club membe
a special printed program giving tn,
events that will be sch heduled for com
pletion.
The records made in the two event
of Thursday are:

7ients and sinking funds on these securities, now SO
easily sold.
There are already in existence billions Of dollars
of tax-exempt securities, including state and munici-
pal bonds, farm loan bonds and. under certain limita-
tons, Liberty bonds and treasury certificates, the tax
exempt feature of which under court decision cannot
be eliminated, but it is possible, however, to prevent.
In time, the issuance of any more securities Of this
character by amendment to the federal constitution,
Just as the possibility of a federal income tax law
was brought about
Public sentiment appears to be consolidating in
favor Of such q procedure. Senator Smoot already
has a bill to provide for the submission Of a con-
solidated amendment, while Senator Kenyon has a
similar bill. The investment Bankers Association of
America favors the submission of the proposal and
the American farm bureau federation has included
this in its program. Representative McFadden of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the house committee on
banking and currency. is also strongly in favor Of the
idea. 1t would Of course not be possible for anything
to be done along these lines which would affect the
paymentlof taxes in the current year, but in all prob
ability the submission of such a proposition would
have an effect on the proposal to reduce surtaxes to
a point where the wealthy men would not be driven
away from investment in corporation securities"
Otto II. Kahn recently told the senate committee
on reconstruction and production that ''our invest
ment market has become crippled. The possessors of
incomes of considerable size are more and more with
drawing from it and placing their money into tax
securities to the extent that it is possible for
them to do so"

WHAT DICTATES srYLEs7

Just what dictates women's styles is uncertain.
Whether 1t is comfort, appearance, the arbitrary rul-
ton Of the other sex or any other Of a half dozen
reasons, one guess is as good as another. We con-
stantly cry out against each new style in dress as IL
makes its appearance. 1t makes no difference to the
women. They wear the things regardless of opinion.
So long as the magic word style" goes with the gar
unto woman it is worn without question. And let it
be said that it usually looks well. This indefnable
style quality must amount to something after all.
A New York designer says: styles seem TO run in
cycles rs do many other things. Just now we are wit
Messing a return to a style that held forth years and
years ago, just how many years l cannot say, but it
was a long time, Mt any rate. 1 refer to the long.
flowing sleeves that will be affected this year. Not
many Of these wide, faring sleeves have appeared
as yet, but they are on the way. And before the win
ter gets fairly well started the male populace here
about will be startled to see the change in the dress
of their women folk.
1.-THE old leg-o'mutton Is one style that win prob
aily never come back. The long. wide, faring sleeve
is Numerically opposite to chat, since the leg-o'-mut-
ton showed its greatest width and bulk at the shoul-
der. The new style is the leg-o'mutton upside-down.
The sleeve fits the shoulder fairly tight and then falls
in a great sweep to the wrist. There it is almost as
wide us the bottom of tho skirts they are wearing
nowadays. Altogether, l think the new sleeve is be-
coming and will be found very comfortable by the
wearer, something that the sleeve Of 1920 and the
sleeve of 1918 lacked.
"All in all, the styles of the present day, even when
they revert to those of an earlier period, adhere to
the principle of comfort above all else The short
skirt Is an exempliication of this. The modern women
having known what it means to stride free, witho,t
the hindrance of a clinging skirt, one that traailed e.
the ground, will never tolerate anything but a skirt
that is abbreviated, reformers to the contrary not
withstanding. Style, all things considered, should first
be attractive, then sensible. A combination of the
two is attaining the ideal. This year we have done
that very thing in the new Sleeves

THE VALUE OF TOURISTS.

During the tourist season just closed, the Casper
camp grounds entertained 2,340 cars with an aver
age of four passengers each, making a total Of 9,36D
tourists. From the official records kept at the camp
the visitors reported having spent the sum of s33,
362.ss among Casper business people, for such sup
plies as they required. The figures are authentic. Is
the tourist camp a paying investment to Casper? II
It is so regarded, why is it that those receiving the
benefits are rot bearing some of the burdens now be-
ing borne by others who derive no benefit whatever.
There remains unpaid today, approximately 5000
for constructing the buildings and other conveniences
at the camp. 1t is guaranteed by a group Of Casper
patriots. Do you think they ought to continue to act
as surety7 The debt ought to be paid.
