CONTEST
JUDGES CHOSEN
Missourian Selects Prof. Tren
holme and DIR. kerner
as Two Capable Men.

The judges in the contest now being
conducted by the Columbia Evening Mis-.
sourian have been chosen.
Prof. N. NJ Trenholme, head of the his
tory department and professor Of English
history of the University of Missouri, has
been chosen as one. Professor Trenholme
has wide reputation as an authority on
history in general He is the author of
several books relative TO history subjects,
among which A Syllabus of the World
War is now being used in the University
DR.. R. J. kerner, professor Of European
history Of the University Of Missouri, is
the other judge. Doctor Kerner is a not
ed authority on world politics and prob.
lens. He was connected with the Paris
Peace Conference and has contributed
numerous articles to leading magazines
on world questions.
The Missourian feels that with the Sc
lection Of two such capable men as
judges all contestants may be sure that
the final decision will be based on real
quality. Both of the judges are enthu-
siastic concerning the contest. Doctor
Kener said ''thai it was an excellent way
to educate the high school student con-
cerning Americas foreign policy and
world position"
This contest is enc inaugrrated by the
Missourian November 9. A first prize of
$40 and second prize Of S5 will be
awarded the two high school students Of
Boone County writing the best essays on
the subject, THE Disarmament Confer
ence." The subject can be treated from
any angle the student desires. All pa
pers must reach the Missourian Decem-
Der ! or they will not be entered in the
contest.

Doctor Elwood named William Jen-

claim not on modern science but on the

He asked the girls of the Y. ". c. A.

There's no need Of such conflict" "
said Doctor Ellwood. The source Of the
trouble is that some people insist upon

1t was never meant as such. The literal

to say. that the economic revival Of Eu
rope largely depends upon such reduc'
tions being effected
The latter thought corresponds ex'
actly with President Harding's view
namely. that the economic stability Of
Europe is vital TO American prosperity.
He feels, therefore, that the league can
do a useful work and he hopes ii will
abide for the purpose Of effecting peace
as between the nations which are within
the jurisdiction Of the League.
Mr.. Harding knows that the co-opera,
ton Of the League in establishing the
policies decided upon at the Washington
conference, will be helpful and he has
let il be known that neither he nor any
spokesman Of his administration intends
the slightes, hostility 10 the League. Mr..
Harding believes America should not
be a member, but he wishes the League
well just the same. And the League
now returns the compliment.

/ not deny the creative force in evolution

Roy Johnson Profits By
Okmulgce Gas Discovery

Roy NJ. Johnson. prominent member
of the local oil fraternity, received
great news this morning when infor'
nation reached here that well drill
ing near Okmulgce in section 4, Emile
had reached the top of Il gas sand at
a depth of 1886 feet, and with the drill
one foot in, has been shut in with
daily production of $4,000, 900 cubic
feet Two companies are connecting
to the gasser, one of them being the
Oklahoma Natural Gas Company The
production has rock pressure of 1890
pounds, which is very unusual in the
northern section of the state, as Is also
gas production as large as that in the
Okmulgee WELL The market for the
production Is assured.
The well was drilled on 100 acre
tract in which Mr.. Johnson owns Il
one-thrd interest in fee, which he
purchased several years ago on the
strength of a geological report. In the
belief of those who have inspected
the territory on which the well was
drilled. an oil sand exists underneath
the gas. The finding Of the pay in
this well opens an entirely new field.

all the large producers at Fox and

PURE OIL TEST HAS
NEW SAND AT 24O5
FEET IN EXTENSION
Operators May Drill Deeper
In An Effort to Find
Another Sand.

Pure Oil Company No. /, on the
Sullivan farm, in the center of the
northeast quarter of the northeast
quarter of the southwest quarter of
SECTION sc, 4s-2w, in the Hewitt south
east extension, reached the top of an
oil sand at depth of 24O5 feet, and
the oil is standing about 500 feet in
the hole. 1t is reported as better than
"a gravity. The sand was drilled
through and found to be 40 feet thick.
Drilling is being carried deeper and
the latest report had the total depth
of the hole at PASS feet. The well is
being swabbed. At the time it was
brought in, there was very little gas
pressure, but it is believed that it will
increase and cause the well to flow.
Present plans are to carry drilling
deeper in an effort 20 discover wheth-
er or not there is still a deeper sand
In the area.
The sand found in the Pure OIL
test is entirely new in the southeast
extension area, not having been en-
countered heretofore In other wells
there. The manner in which sands
are being encountered at various
depths. has led oil men interested in
the extension To state that every
well in the extension appears to DE a
wildcat but every location eventually
becomes u producing WE'LL For in
stance. the wells which the Pure Oil
test offsets are all producing from
different sands, and have varied form
of production. on the east, the Car
ter Oil Company has gasser in its
Sullivan No. /, which is producing
from sand found at n depth Of 2l43
feet. 1t is the only gas well in the
area. Diagonally northeast Of the
Pure Oil test, the Coline Oil Company
well No. !, on the Ramsey farm, is
producing both heavy and light oils,
the heavy coming from sand at a
depth Of 2l49 feet, and the light from
sand at q depth Of 1924 feet. The
Fure oil test encountered these sands.
but they were merly straks with light
shovings.

RESTRICTION ORDER
GOVERNING HEWITT
AREA Is SUSPENDED

The petition of the conservation
committee to the corporation commits
sion requesting that the restrictions
be lifted, has been granted, and the
order issued by the commission gov
erning the operations has been in.
definitely suspended The suspension is
effective as of date Monday October
"a.
The lid had been on since June IA
and the results which were obtained
because of the order have proved to
be very gratifying to the producers OF
the local and the midcontinent field in
general, for the Hewitt operators have
cooperated in a most commendable
manner with oil men throughout the
country, in effort TO curtail produc-
ton during the time consumption did
not warrant any increase and in pre-
venting the price from going lower
than II did, a situation which was con-
sidered inevitable If production was
materially increased, and which would
also have brought about prorating of
runs by purchasers Of the crude.
The effects of the order can be noted
by perusal OF figures showing Hewitt
producing during the period governed
by restriction. During the month Of
June. the total daily production Of the
Hewitt field was 43.052 barrels, in
August 1t was $4,000 barrels and in
September 42,00s barrels. The in.
crease in August over June is attri.
buted to the fact that at the time the
order went into effect, II was per.
missable to complete wells on the
sand prior TO the date OF the order.
deal of flush production. The de.
crease noted in September demon.
stratcs that the effects OF restriction
were being felt. for II will be remem-
bered that the production took drop
even though several large wells. alleg.
ed TO have been drilled in violation Of
the order We're brought in during the
time.
