5-ACRE LEASE
 BRINGS $4OO.OO
J. r. Phillips Gets Record Price For Small Tract Near Sutton Well-L. ROsenbaum of Fort Worth, Texas, is Purchaser.

Outside interests are gradually slipping in on the ground floor in the proposed oil fields of Nevada county and these men are willing to pay the highest prices yet for holdings near the Sutton and Bluff City wells. If deals like the one closed Tuesday are any indication of the finding of oil in this county, our prospects are good and better. Last Tuesday, J. P. Phil lips sol da lease on five acres of land near the Sutton well No. 1 for $80 per acre, the five acres bringing $400, which is the peak in lease prices so far in this county, but is destined to take it's place among the insignificant sums in the near future.
 MT. Phillips also closed a deal with MT. Rosenbaum, the purchaser of the 5-acre tract leasing no acres, five miles from the Sutton we'll the con- sideration being $1,200, or $1O per acre. Many other tracts are chang ing hands for smaller considerations.
 A deal involving $18,O0O was con- summated this week through R. H. Ethridge, real estate dealer at Hope, who purchased from J. o. and H. l.. Johnson in the southwest part of Ne vada county, TOO acres for the above amount. This tract was purchased by MT. Ethridge for Little Rock cap italists and the land is only about 2 IA miles from the Shaw & Shaw well, which is now drilling.
 Another puncture will likely be made in the face of mother nature at some point yet to be decided upon, between Gale and Rosston in Nevada county. Col. M. H. Straughan, a pioneer and experienced oil man, has paid lease rental amounting to $7,500 on 5000 acres located between Gale and Rosston and under Col. Strau- Sildu : COllUIetCC lie HlloC D6Slu LII lli- ing we'll within the next three months and this man of wisdom in the oil game, who has then reputa- tion of finding the liquid gold in Y per cent of his test wells, has not paid out $7000 for the purpose of controll- ing these leases if he had not strong faith in locating oil. However, he will not stop at securing this amount of acreage, but he is now talking leases in that vicinity and will con tinue to invest his money in the pos sibility of finding oil until he can control enough acreage to justify sinking well. Col. Straughan was formerly a member of the firm Nof Straughan & Crawford, but has sev- cred his connection and his operations now are independent and apart from other interests

YOUR HOME TOWN PAPER

When people want to interest dis tant friends in their home town they send away copies of the local news paper. When anyone wants to know what kind of a place a distant town is he sends for copy of the local newspaper. When the merchants are full of courage and advertise freely, an impression is created among the many people outside the town who see the paper that this is an exceed ingly bright and wide-awake business town. If at times the merchants let up a little on their advertising. the town does not look so good to out siders. Your paper, then, is the rep resentative-the spokesman-for your community. AS your publication ap- pears to those outside your immediate locality, so must your town appear to them. Editorials and items of news all have their place, but the stranger to your town will closely follow the advertisements carried in your paper, for by this means he judges the char acter and extent of the business of the community.-EX.

FOR THE BOYS

promised yesterday that I wopld give a few notes from Prof. Henry w. Farnum of Yale University. in gard to tobacco. He says: "I had no strong convictions on the subiact until l studied into it's social effects
 ana was led to make this study by observing some cases, of what seemed to me, abuse. One of these was the selling of tobacco by University to its students. l soon saw very nlainlv that to encourage the use of tobacco among students was to undermine the work of a great many, if not most. of the department of the University. It was certainly inimical to the depart- ment of economics on account of the enormous waste of wealth involved under our present habits. It was hostile to the department of medicine as initiating against health. It worked against forestry, because so much of the destruction of our for ests by fire is due to the carelessness of smokers. It was an eyesore with respect to art and aesthetics, as any one can easily see for himself if he will but imagine the Hermes of PraXlteles with cigar in his mouth. 1t violated constantly Golden Rule of Christian ethics. It was clearly inimical to athletics, for in the very University which sold tobacco to it's students, those competing in athletic sports were forbidden to use it. It was even hostile to law, because the laws of the state forbade the sale of tobacco to youths below sixteen. al though youths of fifteen might be admitted to the University. These arguments proved strong enough to lead the University in question to give up the sale of tobacco. Every additional fact that I have gathered since that time has confirmed me in the belief that the tobacco habit, as now practiced in the United States, is one of the great evils of the day, and that it is fairly comparable with the liquor habit and the various drug habits whcih we are trying to sup press by law. The mere fact that we spent on tobacco before the war more than on our federal government, and more than twice as much as on our common schools indicated the economic importance of the subject" ,"

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot
Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only II way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by u constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is causedby
an inilamed condition OF the mucous lin.
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is intlamed you have n rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and wheni,
is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal con.
dltion hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases OF deafness are caused by
| catarrh, which is an inhamed condition
| OF the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts thru the blood on the mu
cous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.

(The above expense items refer
solely to the Home Croft Club Other
clubs doing Community Work under
the general supervision Of the Bureau
proper are the Home Croft, the Cathe-
dral Club, the Xavier. Young Mems
Club, st. Michael's Club, and the Ital-
ian and Polish Settlements.
We investigated the activities of
the Home Croft Club very thoroughly.
The paid staff consists of one part
time worker and one kindergarten
teacher, also part time. The rest of
the service is done by volunteer work
ers. The approximate attendance at
the Home Croft Club from January
to August 1, of this year, was 4,145,
or an average monthly attendance of
900. The activities comprise educa-
tional classes, directed recreational
work, clubs and societies, entertain
ments and celebrations, together with
personal service work. 1t is the aim
of the Director that these clubs should
be self-supporting-in other words,
that the work done should not be, done
so much for the neighborhood as done
by the neighborhood.
AS evidence Of this, we desire to
point out that the Xavier Young Mems
Club has been self-supporting since
May last, and it is hoped to place the
st. Michael's and the Cathedral Clubs
in this class at an early date.
We are informed that certain
amount of Community Work has also
been started in the Bradley Street
and Upper Levee districts for the pur-
pose of reaching the Italians and Poles
| who largely constitute the population
| of these areas. 1t is the hope of the
Director of the Bureau to develop
Community Work in these foreign
settlements when funds will be avail
able for expansion in this direction.
