SEEPACE OF OIL
 STARTS BIG BOOM

Augusta. Ga.. Jan. 3O-Thts sec ton of Georgia is in the throes of an oil 'Tboom" or something closely akin. following the discovery of oil seepage on the site of a new Y. M. c. A. building. Experts of various kinds have been summoned to the city and investigations are being made at the rate of several a day.
 s. w. Metallic. state geologist, has been given a sample of the oil and is now making an analysis of 1t, but he has rather dampened the ar dor of land owners by declaring 1t to be extremely unlikely that oil in commercial quantities will be found.
 The oil at first appeared to be very clear for crude oil. and one expert even was so mean as to say he be- lieved it to be seeping from tank Somewhere in the vicinity. The oil, however. gave him the laugh shortly aafterward by changing it's color to pure crude and steaming up a little on production. Another expert eX- pressed the opinion that the clear ness of the oil was due to the fact that 1t was Altering through some layers of Fulper's earth.
 The most recent visitor of expert persuasion declares It to be not at all unlikely that an oil pool of some dimensions is underneath Augusta and a thorough investigation is about to be und dertaken. Drilling is expected to start on nearby property soon.

GIRL WHO LIKES DANCES LOVES
 TO BE RUGGED, SAYS MINISTER

"I have wondered what kind of style books and patterns Adam and Eve had. I'll bet they did as we'll as they do today. I don't know what was in the apple to make them know they were naked, but 1 have wished that some women would get a bite of that apple. They might go home and get enough clothes to cover them up.
 Adam blamed his wife for his meanness; he is not the last man to do that thing. When Eve tempted Adam he may have asked to be excused, but when he saw her tears he would have eaten a barrel of apples to stop that"
