We're knotted with the anguish that
wrung his heart. and his voice was
thick with sobs.

just lift your head and look up, dazed.
You don't realize what's happened yet,
you hardly know where you are. Where

it-beautiful. Now it begins to come
to you. He has cast you off-O my

couldn't be better-you're great, dear,
simply great. Now go on-begin to
cry, let the big tears well up from
your broken heart and trickle down
your cheeks. Fine! Cry harder dear
you must cry harder, this scene will
go all flooey if you can't cry any hard

you-and now he has left you-whc

is breaking, dear( it's breaking, and
nobody cares. Can't you cry harder
Listen to the music and e. Good God
how dyou expect anybody to cry tC
music like that?"
The last was a shrek Of utter ex
asperation; and bounding to his feet
the little man darted furiously at the
musicians, stopping in front of the
trio and beginning to beat time with
an imaginary baton.

OIL NEWS
FROM LOCAL AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA FIELDS
NEW LOCATION MADE
HEALDTON DEEP TEST

Location for new deep test in prov
en- area of the Healdton pool has been
made by the Pure Oil company on the
Lowery farm, in the northwest quarter
of section 4-4s.3w, about 80 feet south
of the deep test drilled on the same
farm more than year ago and which
was plugged and abandoned following
loss of the hole after an oil sand had
been encountered. Timbers for the new
test will be moved in Immediately and
operations commenced as soon as the
standard rig is completed. Announce
ment for location of this test has been
awaited for quite some time, due to the
good showing made in the plugged well.
The abandoned test of the Pure Oil
company had been drilled to total
depth of 2,740 feet after passing through
a sand at 2,7O2-40 feet, which when agi-
tated made one flow Of about eight min
utes duration, yielding go barrels Of oil
of better than AZ gravity. However,
both the S-inch and 6-inch castings col.
lapsed Immediately after the flow, and
efforts to pull the pipe, which were un-
! utI way lOI Il pcliOu VI iOul
proved futile and the hole was lost. The
operators Of the test estimated that the
well would have made as high as 200
barrels.
That q prolific deep sand exists be-
meath the present producing horizons of
the Healdton pool is proved by the man.
ner in which the Bull Head Oil COM
pany's deep well has been holding up
since it was originally brought in three
years ago. This well found the sand al
approximately the same depth as that
in the Pure Oil test, and started of
with natural initial production of u
barrels of 43 gravity oil. The Bull Head
well, although three years old, is still
flowing eight barrels a day from the
deep pay, making one flow daily. An
other deep Healdton test which is due
to commence operations eventually is
the Roxana Petroleum company's or
the Wesley farm in section 3-4s-3w, the
rig for which has been completed for
quite some time.

And strangely enough he did manage
to infuse a little of his fine fervor into
the three.
Throughout, on the floor before the
camera under the cruel glare of lights,
Alma Daley strained her face toward

surely break real tears streaming down

PUBLIC OPINION
COLOMBO THE NEGRO.

According 20 newspaper reports, a
seventeen year-old white girl was
outraged and then hrutally murder
"a a few days ago az kirvin, Texas
soon after which three Of the negroes
alleged 90 have been guilty Of the
crime were cremated and the fourth
suspect was hanged and the body
iddlcd with bullets. The kind ~ pun
ishment and manner in which L. was
given 20 the guilty ones is viola-
ton Of the laws Of the penal code 81
the State Of Texas. and Of certain
sections Of the "Bill Of Rights.
Most any other kind Of crime pales
into insigficance when compared 90
the kind the much deceased negroes
committed as above stated But that
did not justify the act OF the en-
ragged. Inundated and broken-heart-
ed citizenry. Remove the cause by
colonization.
The people Of the North may look
with disgust upon such acts as Of
the people Of the above named place
who organized themselves into a de-
termined mob. believe that the on
" solution 20 the problem is TO col
onize the negroes. like the Indians
were colonized and compel them 70
cultivate some Of our rich, fertile
lands and become producers and less
cumbersome from an economic point
Of view. In Western Texas n large
per cent Of our negro populatin pro-
dnces nothing. and yet are consum-
ers just the same. We can do our
own work. cook our own meals and
DO our own laundering rather than
have the lives Of our wives and
daughters endangered. nst as long
AZ they are permitted 20 live among
us they viii continue doing as they
have done in the past and then .he
continuance Of burnings and hang
ings. And those who live North Of
the once famous Mason and Dixon

outraged southern womanhood, and

ultimate decision.
