MAY OPEN WILDCAT" FIELD
Elmhurst Company Down to Depth of
2.62O Feet Near Overlook.

20
The question of whether or not oil
abounds in the wildcat field between
Overlook and Carbonate may be de-
termined very shortly, perhaps today.
At depth of approximately $3.50
feet. officials of the Elmhurst Invest
ment company believe their test well
is about to turn the trick IL there is
any of the liquid stuff in that vicinity.
The belief is based on the fact that
Saturday afternoon. at a. depth OF
2.6OS feet, the drill encountered a cap
rock formation which may be the. lid
to oil sand underneath. The rock is
very hard, and altho the drillers are
working both day and night, progress
since that time has been very slow.
Late Sunday night the drill was down
2,617 feet and should have made an
other three feet by this morning, of
ficials OF the company say.
These cap rock formations vary any
where from a few inches to eight and
ten feet thick in the districts where
oil has been found, but this being a
strictly wildcat" affair, 1t is said
there is no way of determining the
thickness of the formation in this case.
but officials of the Elmhurst company
are expecting the drill to break thru
at any time, and it is their fondest
hope that oil will be found undern cath.
The rock is very hard. however, and
with slow drilling, the result may not
be known for several days.
The test well is located twenty-four
miles from Topeka, and should oil be
found, will mark the opening of new
field

A Religious Atmosphere.
what impressed me most, was the
religious atmosphere which was prev
alent, and the spirit of fellowship and
the open form of meeting" said >Dr.
Sheldon in an address at the morning
service of the Central Congregational
church, Sunday.
The greatest thing that will come
out of the disarmament conference is
the democratic spirit, good will and
better understanding of nations, is the
opinion OF DR.. Sheldon.
DR.. Sheldon was an eye witness OF
the conference and had interviews
with a number of the representatives
of the japanese, Chinese. English and
French nations. He was not able to
gain admittance to the meeting on
Saturday when Secretary Hughes laid
his plans on the table. but was able
to attend the second general meeting.
He contrasted the present confer
ence with that of the Paris meeting.
No prayer was offered at the Paris
conference. but it was offered at the
Washington conference.
Doctor Sheldon attended the con-
ference as the personal representative
of the Christian Herald. Thru this
Hl6Qiuul ne presented ulSdIuldHleiAl
resolutions from 1000 churches which
contained signatures from 1000, 900.
All denominations were represented.
Spoke at First Presbyterian Church.
Doctor Sheldon spoke at the eve
ming services at the First Presbyterian
church Sunday night before a large
audience. He will remain in Topeka
for two weeks. Following his stay
here he will make a short tour of the
east where he will make a number of
addresses. He will deliver an address
at the Old South Forum, Boston. on

ference is still in session at that time

tend it the last week in December. He

LOAN MONEY TO FARMERS
War Finance Corporation Ready tc
Help Kansas Agriculturists.


Help Kansas AgriculturIsts.
The small farmer, as well as those
of more extensive interests are privi-
legged to participate in the loans now
being issued by the War Finance cor
pOrat-Un. Agricultural leaders here
point out that reports thus far indi-
cate the Kansas farmers are not real
izing on the opportunity offered by
these loans, to the extent that farmers
of other central western states are.
the report of November % showing
that out of a total of S3147, 600 in
loans approved by the War Finance
corporation, hut $4,000 was to Kan
sas farmers. as compared with 1925
600 to Missouri $4,000 to Iowa,
$4,000 TO Illinois, $254.0O0 to Louis
lana. and $685. 600 to Texas.
The loans may be secured thru
either local bankers or directly thru
W. H. Moore, Livestock Exchange
building, Kansas City, secretary of the
regional committee Of the corporation.
P. W. Goebel. chairman of the re-
g1Onal committee, in a statement
points out that the local bankers can
not charge in excess of seven or seven
and a half percent interest on these
loans. The banker can charge not to
exceed two per cent more than the
rate charged him by the War Finance
corporation, the rate recently having
been cut to five per cent on six
months paper and five and a half per
cent on longer loans. The loans are
made for six months with the privi-
lege of four renewals.
Il understand the country bankers
nave been loath to avail themselves OF
this money because of the red tape -
said GOebel. However, they must
learn that they are dealing with a
government institution and the rules
are not flexible. City banks have
learned this in their association with
the federal reserve banks and country
banks also can learn to conform to
the rules. The main thing is to see
that the loan is amply secured and the
money will be used for the purposes
intended.
I'VE are very anxious that the
country banks avail themselves of the
privileges of this War Finance cor
poration money. Loans for strictly
agricultural purposes which can not
be discounted with the Federal Re
serve bank can be placed with us. We
are not questioning whether the Sc
curlty is grain or livestock All we
ask is that the loans have. been anipiy
secured so that the government will
De assured it Will get it's money back"
Some loans have been approved Mr..
Goebel said, where the corn. crop
standing in the field was accepted as
part of the security, it being the farm
ers desire to hold his corn until berfer
prices prevail

f Springfield, Ill. Nov. 28.-Frank
Harrington, president of the Illinois

formal demand that John L. Lewis,
International president of the mine
workers, be removed from office for
the same reason he deposed the Kan

ployed at the Dean and Reliance
mines to return to work" the Illinois
president wrote. then President Lew

do so.

The fact that President Howat may
have failed to do his duty is not ex-
