HIS FAITH FULLY JUSTIFIED
wyoming Man Sure Oil Was There,
and Events Have Proved That
He Was Right.

Thirty-fve years ago lad from Ire
land landed In New York, worked hard
for five months and saved all his
money. Then he went to the depot and
asked for a ticket. The ticket agent
wanted to know where to. The boy
showed his money over the counter and
said he would go as far West as that
off the train very lank and hungry at
Casper, Wyo., and he got job herd
ing sheep. His name was Pat Sullivan
and he now owns nearly a million head
Of sheep and is the leading citizen Of
Casper.
Ten years ago if one went TO Cas-
per he was sure TO be driven about
by Pat Sullivan and told the future Of
the region To be sure, there was an
endless stretch of sage brush in all
directions, with bur an occasional oasis
caused by irrigation. and the roads
leading into the wild were deep in fine
desert dust. The town was sprawl
Ing and lumber built, but breezy, hos
pitable and buoyant in its vision OF
the future.
In those days there stood on the
sage brush plains back of Casper five
or six derricks that were drilling con-
stantly and hopefully for oil. Nobody
could get a satisfactory explanation
of what had inspired this drilling.
There was nothing but dust and sage
brush on the surface. But, as though
optimism was sure to breed success.
these wells one day broke through a
rock strata and into one Of the great
est bodies of oil that man has ever
tapped since time began. The oil field
that came into production has proved
to be one of the greatest in the world.
Now the sage brush seethes with
activity-and Pat Sullivan is one
prophet who is known in his own
country.

PROMINENT FARMER DEAD
Was Well Known in All Parts of the
County as Progressive and
Successful Man.

Word reached Audubon on last
Thursday of the untimely death OF
Joe Wheeler, one of the best known
took place at his farm home near
Extra. Few OF his friends knew of
his illness, while others who knew
had no thought of its seriousness.
Joseph Leonard Wheeler, second
son Of George and Selma Wheeler,
was born near Des PLANES, ILL.,, on
the 4th day Of July, 1861, where he
grew to manhood. In 1881 he came
with his parents to this community
and located on a farm five miles
southeast of Extra, where he resided
until the time OF his death.
In 1882, the year following his
coming to Audubon county, he re-
turned to Illinois and was married
to Miss Clara Barchard, who sur
wives him. OF the nine children
born to this union, three died in in
fancy, and Vernon, aged %, was
laid to rest Just thirteen months
prior to the death of his father.
The surviving children are Rus
sell r., Erwin ", Lauren j., Mrs.
Elmer Boehme and Elda E., who
have the sympathy Of the entire
county in the loss of kind and
loving father
Mr.. Wheeler's last illness began
little less than month ago.
About two weeks since, he suffered
a paralytic stroke and finally other
complications arose which caused
his death at 1910, a. m, on Thurs
day, March 8.
Mr.. Wheeler had no church affil-
iation, but was member of the
Masons and the Eastern Star. These
two organizations were in charge of
the funeral which was held from the
Christian church. Rev. Henry, OF
the Community church, preached the
sermon, Rev. Eppard assisting. In
terment was made in the Extra GEM
etery. The Masonic order formed
an escort from the home OF the de-
ceased to the church and cemetery.
where the regular Masonic burial
service was read. The pail bearers
were Chris Wolf. Soren Madsen. T.
o. Hester, Theo. Patty, AL Fredricks
and George Myer.
Mr.. Wheeler was good citizen,
of the progressive type and was well
known all over the county. The best
testimony of the esteem in which he
was held is the great crowd who
braved the raw March weather to at
tend the obsequies.
The community has sustained a
loss in the death of Mr.. Wheeler that
will be keenly felt for many a day.

oxerstoeked wien Dancers.

A San Francisco Judge rebuked the
mother of young respondent in d.
vorce court because she had fiattered
her daughter in the belief that she
would do better at esthetic dancing
than plain cooking. The judge de-
clared that the world was terribly
overstocked with girls who could in
terpret dancing, but couldn't tell the
contents of an Irish stew.
If the courts are going to rule that
plain cooking is more vital than plas-
tic dancing there will be evolution in
many homes. But 1t does seem for a
fact that there are more fancy dancers
than good cooks on the wrong side Of
the divorce courts. A wife who can
make good waff1es has grip on her
job that the courts cannot shake loose.

ANNUAL WHITE SWEET CLOVER

Joe Robinson, secretary Iowa Ag-
ricultural Experiment Association,
reports that the sweet clover last
year grew to be over three feet high
after the long oats had been cut. He
states that he believes that there will
be a great demand for the legume to
be sown in with small grain crop
and plowed under as green manure
crop. Especially, when it makes a
growth like this did on our plots
after the oats had been harvested.
A great number of Audubon coun-
ty people received samples of this
clover last year and report that they
were successful in getting their seed
to mature. They are about unani-
nous in stating that 1t is going to be
great legume crop.
The Iowa experiment station has
quantity of seed for distribution
again this year. The sample will be
only enough to grow row of sweet
clover in a garden. This seed is free
for a self addressed envelope.
The association has number of
other experiments which are being
offered to Iowa farmers. They are
requiring only the price of their
seed, a new variety OF sudan grass
and sorghum.
Farmers interested may get any
information they desire regarding
the above seed from the county
agent.
