 O|L BOOM COMING
Texas and Oklahoma Com panies Leasing Heavy Acre
 age and Prepare to Drill

Sheffield, February 24.-(Special.) )- Oil leases are being taken on acreage in this county. and it is understood that Oklahoma and Texas interests are desirous of acquiring all leases possi- ble. The leases cover both oil and gas.
 It is understood one Oklahoma com pany and one Texas company will be- gin drilling in the early spring on srot in the west end of the county. These companies have had wide ex perience in the western oil fields. and the men in charge of the operations in .tEis section express the opinion that every indication points to oil in this county.
 Some years ago local people drilled at Cherokee, IS miles west of Shef- field. and struck oil-bearing sand and later black sulphur water; both of these formations, according to oil ex ports are sure indications of oil The we'll at Cherokee was sunk some 1900 feet, when it was abandoned due 10 a lack of capital. At Spring Valley. some eight miles south of Sheffield am other well was started but abandoned for the same cause.
 According to geologists' maps, the oil fields traversing Pennsylvania, through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee. and strike in through the Tennessee valley: the map showing possible oh formations from this section and |southwest, through Mississippi and to the Louisiana fields.
 Up to the present time, about 10000 acres have been optioned to several local people, in addition to the acreage under option to outside sources. There is no evidence of an oil boom as yet as the people securing the leases have worked quietly.

CONGRESS LODGING
 TAX ELAN PUZZLES

Washington, February 2.-(SpeciaL)- With the people of the United States again wrestling with income tax blanks, and trying to give the government what is due the government without cheating themselves, and in the process making the air blue with profanity more or less fervent, members of Congress are hastily exrlaining, we are not to blame"
 As a matter of fact, there are few Philadelphia lawyers in Congress. AS result. the members are having just as much trouble as the ordinary citizen. It is true that the government, for the con- venience of the members. has created a force of experts to do their figuring. but the members as a rule apply for this assistance only when they are completely stumped.
 It develops that score of senators and representatives have petitioned the treas ury department to simplify the blanks For. as Senator Dial of South Carolina said this morning. Tt is serious enough that the people are required to pay taxes in these hard times, and there is no ex- cuse for putting them in danger or ln- sane asylums by forcing them to unravei Chinese puzzles But the members, in urging a substitute form of comparative lySgreat simplicity, have scored no sue cess They are invariably asked for sug- eestions. "We will do anything practical that you suggest" says the department But the members are almost without ex- ceptiou unable to make practical sugges- tions. Senator Dial has worked seriously with the department regarding the mat ter. He has made one suggestion that would improve the situation, he thinks,
 q have contended." said he, that there should be a blank for every distinct pro fession If that scheme were adopted the returns would be greatly simpiified. One Of the reasons for the infinite mvolve- rnent is that the blanks are framed to cover the entire field Naturally, they are intricate as result, But I have met with no success. The department thinks that it would be impracticable to fur nish distinct blanks for distinct profess sicns. It is said that the expense thus to be encountered would be staggering.
