CHILDHOOD DAYS

OhlLDhOOD DAl -
Laugh and play the livelong day.
Get up with the smiling sun.
Skip and shout and romp about
Childhood days are made for fun.
Have good cheer while youth is here
Ere your childhood days are done.
Curly head and check of red
Roll and tumble allday long:
Taste the joys OF pretty, toys.
Live for laughter, gayety and song
Taste the sweet ere joys retreat
And leave you with the grown up
throng.
Dimple chin and roguiSh grin.
Eyes asparkle bright with glee.
Romp and play the while you may
Childhood days too soon Will fee.
Do not miss your share Of bliss,
Your share of childhood ecstacy.
Would that I who sit and sigh
With snowy hair and furrowed
brow.
Could travel back the rugged track
Move back the hands Of time some

To A CRICKET.

TO A CRICKET.
No doubt you fancy that your strain
Repeatedly repeated
Falls on my ear like golden rain
CMost singers are eonceited);
You think to cheer me when I'm sad
Is your nocturnal Mission;
Instead Of which you drive me mad
with that weird REPETITION.
I cannot read. l cannot think;
NV freside dreams evade me.
When you, within some chimney
chink
Begin TO scramble me.
From out your hoarse and husky
throat
That must be lined with leather.
There comes one note, one strident
note,
For hours and hours together.
A gutteral moan the pigeon blends
With his untuneful cooling.
Variety the tomcat lends
To raueous back-fence wOoing;
But you keep harping in one key
No earthly power can still you
Accusing the desire in me
To seek you out and kill you.
The poets in their laws for years
To hearthside song have spurred
you
Which proves they have defective
ears,
or else they never heard you.

DAMAGE LIGHT
IN TANK FIRE

The first electrical storm of h year
and almost the first bolt Of lightning
struck one of the $4,000 barrel tanks
on the Standard tank farm west of
Casper Sunday afternoon and for a
time threatened the destruction of the
steel structure and tho 10000 barrels
of crude oil it contained.
The spectacular blaze was brough,
under control and extinguished within
40 minutes after it started through the
use of Foamite. Hundreds Of Casper
people braved a heavy rain storm
which fell during the period to witness
the fight which was waged against
the flames.
Standard officials here were unable
to make any estimate of the loss. The
wooden roof of the tank was burned
off and a small amount of oil destroy
cd before the blaze was extinsuished
1t is probabdle that 5000 would re
place the oil and restore the tank tc

Those who believe hat wells outside
the government. reserve lines at Tea.
pot can still draw their petroleum sup
plies from the field cite the fact that
wells drilled close TO the saddle which
separates the Salt Creek and Teapot
ED come in with large production.
1t is cited also that wells adjoining
but which are properly within the
Salt Creek field such as the Mosher
Syndicate and other such wells come
in comparatively small production.
The Fensland Oil company drilling
south and west of the Mosher wells on
section 19-39-7S is said to have develop
ed one of tho biggest wells in the Salt
Creek field.
One Of the striking things about the
discovery is that oil produced between
the fault in south Salt Creek and be-
tween the saddle which is the porthern
boundary of the Teapot reserve, is two
per cen higher in gravity than the oil
produced anywhere in the Salt Creek
field. The Salt Creek oil averaging
about 37h degrees baume therefore
the oil produced in the extreme south
ern end Is nearly 40 per cent.
With this situation in view locations
IOr OriinnB are peinB Tdpluiy maue N
the southern end Of the field, oper-
ators attempting to spot wells on their
land south OF the fault and north of
OF h saddle.
In the asst week the Wyoming May
and Blue Print company engineering
department has made a series OF six
such locations.
The first of this series to be drilled
will be located on the south half OF
section 1s-ss-7S. on the same section
where the Fensland OIL company de
veloped a large producer. The well
will be known as Dugan No. L. The
well will be drilled by the contracting
firm of Lennon and Stewart for local
interests.
h objects of these tests is to de.
termine whether or not the big pro
duction comes from Salt Creek or Tea
pot n IL from the latter structure to
secure as much Of the oil as possible
before the operations of the Nam
moth OIL company are extended to all
districts of the Teapot field.
Predictions that the oil was coming
