PROSPECTING ON STATE
LANDS FOR OIL AND GAS

Development on many important
oil domes throughout the state, to
which large acreages Of state lands
are attached, il progressing very
steadily. Among these may be
enumerated the "Nee-No-See" well,
midway between Eads and Lamar,
which Is showing favorable indica-
lions at depth Of $3.50 feet. The
Flcgler we'll in Kit Carson County
and the "Wigwam" well in ElPaso
County, have both resumed drilling
The "Midfields" we'll in eastern
Yuma County is steadily progressing
in an cndeaver to overcome an ex-
tension gas flow in order to reach
the oil sand below. Preparation is
beino made for continuing drilling
on the "Frantz" well on the Chin
ney Creek dome. IL miles northeast

All Of which promise such )egiti.

advent Of onc or mere commercial

able oil and gas royalties for the in
crease Of the state school funds.
To this end, every possible en-
enlargement has been offered by the
State Board of Land Commissioners
to the states oil lessees. Liberal
concessions have been granted in
allowing large areas to be leased
and attached to wells during the time

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am sweet
sixteen I quit school two years ago
to take care of mother. Last year l
started in again, but had to quit, and
this year It was the same
NV parents object to my just hRv-J
ing friends. altho my, father let me
go to a play with a neighborsboy. He
let my ten year old brother go along,
which I think was not right when ne
had a way to go besides going with
me. -
went to an ice cream social the
other night with my cousin ana the
me boy who took me to the play
asked to take me home. I refused.
Do YOU think it would have been all
right? This boy has asked to take me
many places, but 1 have refused tte
was just to church az night and to
ne.ghborhood parties). telling him
was afraid 1 would not get my work
done in time and to wait until mother
gets better. 1 know he cares for me
because he has made love to me many
times.
We don't have a chance to talk very
often. The other night my cousin and
1 went down to one of our neighborS
who is a relation. The boy came
down. He made love to me then and
told me he hoped my parents would
not object to my going with him as
soon as my mother got well. He says
he will wait until my parents no long
err object If it is until am Is.
What is the meaning when a boy
kisses your hand?
SWEET SIXTEEN.
You are really very young to go
with boys 1 think, however, that it
would be all right to let the boy Gall
on you occasionally in your home.
You say you want boy friends and
nothing more. Evidently the boy does
not understand or he would not be
making love to you. You are GER
tatnly too young to permit love-mak-
ing and should insist upon maintain
ing friendship and nothing more.
Since you went to the social with
your cousin, it was only right for you
to return with your cousin. If the boy
wanted to go home with both of you.
it would have been all right, provid-
ing your cousin did not object.
There is no particular meaning
when a boy kisses your hand. He is
simply affectionate ana likes you.
You are too young to permit kisses
even in that way.

1t is said the government will be
lucky if it realize a cent on the dollar
of cost of the 100000 tons OF war
ships that are to be scrapped under
the terms of the naval ornaments
treaty. The total cost or the con-
struction has been about s3s0.000F-
600. which will be practically all lost.
But the economy of the scrapping
program is seen when it is realized It
would have cost about $200,O0O,000 a
year to keep the vessels in commission
after they had been completed at an
expenditure of additional millions. In
practical terms. it is estimated that
the treaty will have more than paid
for itself in two years.

BE EAGER-ANTICIPATE.


The late Henry P. Dawson. one. of
the Morgan partners, was great stu
dent of office boys. He liked to watch
them grow.
Some of these boys" he said, tried
to get out of doing anything; others
promptly did whatever they were told
but there were a few who were al
ways on tiptoe,, with eyes and ears
alert, eager to anticipate the wishes
of their superiors and anxious to find
ways of making themselves useful"
Most successful men have risen to
great station of power and usefulness
thru doing the ehings that the ordi-
nary person paid attention to
because they weren't paid for it."
Only as one is eager, as he is dead
in earnest-a1ways anticipating-is he
worthy to wear the shoes of those who
have dared and done things
1t is a good thing to remember that
service is not a common commodity
but something that is literally
pumped out of ones soul for the bet
terment of all people and for all time.
And to gain any high ideal, we must
keep stepping outside our regular path
in order to help the other fellow and
make it just a little easier for him.
. That is what gives us that spirit of
eagerneSs-of anticipation
There is little to be gained in the
mere rewards of money, OF position
or unique fame 1t is only as we are
thrilled by the reaction from helpful
tasks performed that we gain in eager
ness and are led to anticipate some
thing better
Be eager. Grow in warmth as you
see in yourself some gain over yester-
day. Anticipate character worth It
is the only thing that cannot be taken
from you.
And remember that what you earn
by giving away is what you really
keep as a priceless possession.

PROGRESS.
I am the dream of tomorrow, I am tho
better way,
am the flower of the seed tollers are
planting today;
1 am what men haven't done but often
have wondered about,
am the problem unsolved, but young
minds are working me out
1 am n field urexplored, radiant with
visions and dreams.
Mountains made low for mems feet,
bridges flung over the streams;
am the chance for the boy still at his
fair mothers knee,
I am the goal he may reach, am the man
he can be.
I am the road out of strife, the unbuilded
castles of men,
The peace which no war shall destroy, the
beauties of brush and of pen
Which canvas and paper shall know In Abe
days that shall make up the years.
I am the joy that shall be in spite Of the
cynic who sneers.
Slowly but surely I rise, smoothing the
way of mankind
And always the better 1 build, leaving old
customs behind:
1 am the hope Of our youth, the splendor
of dawn and the sun.
am the dream unacbieyed, the task which

American industry. says the Iron
Trade Review, is confronted with one
of the most serious problems of the
Reconstruction period in the growing
Shortages of labor, reports of which
are multiplying. 1t adds that as
mines, factories and steel works at
tain a higher degree OF operations the
lack of manpower promises to loom
up as a restrictive influence upon
production, and asks: What is the
solution? ?" Probably the solution will
come when the more than a million
persons now on strike return to work.
When so many persons refuse to work
a iaber shortage is certain. To relieve
the shortage the idle must go to work.
machinery must be increased and i'm
proved or we must open our gates to
Immigration. immigration has been
limited by law as a concession to
American labor but if Americans will
not work they can hardly expect such
protection to continue.

A. r. w.
We note the need of a ten-cent gole

hardship on somebody, Such ball
would rob thousands of caddies Of
their means of a livelihood.
We suppose the people will corr
strue our attitude as unusual 1t is
not impossible that they will consider
it reprehensible. But the late William
RockefelIer's will is perfectly satisfac-
tory to us.
