5-CENT START
Wins DIPLOMA A
Korean to Get Swarthmore De-
gree After Earning Way
Through Two Schools
WILL BECOME A SURGEON

Entering college with the unpreten.
tious sum of thirty five cents, Pun Koo
Park, a Korean, will emerge from
Swarthmore Monday morning with a
medical degree.
1t will be the second milestone IN his
uphill fight for an education, having
previously earned his way through a
high school in Hawaii.
| Born in Korea, young Park ut an
early age became actuated with a de-.
sire to practice medicine among his
people. When his father moved to a
small village in the Island of Hawaii
some years later, the young Oriental
saw his chance to get an education,
IL he could get to one Of the schools
maintained Tor the natives By the
United States Government.
Setting out one morning, with bis few
belongings wrapped in a bundle, he
walked twenty i've miles to Honolulu
and there entered Mills High School.
Being almost penniless, Pun Hoo had
to work hard at odd jobs when he was
free from his lessons.
When he was given his diploma in
1918 he had saved enough to take him
to America and across the continent.
An American tourist had interested him
IN Swarthmore. so young Park landed
there In September with his few be.
longings and thirty five cents. He was
member of the 8. A. T. G. and when
that disbanded he set to work to earn
his living and his tuition.
Several scholarships which he has
won during his four years have made
tne @ way easier for the young Oriental.
When only q sophomore he was given
position NJ nons;h;l;t,, IL ths a.
partment of biology, where he has been
working for four years. Next year he

tory to taking his final course in spe-
On being given his medical degree,
Park will 90 back to the country OF his
birth, there to help the sufferers of his
oppressed land. His father, mother and
two older sisters, who are married. are
still in their home of Waialut, Oahu,
L. H., where they have been since PUN
Koo left them in 1918.
Honors at college and in the world
have come his way since he has been
in America. Following the Declaration
Of Independence of Korea on March i.
1919, he was made delegate to the
First Korean Congress which met In
Philadelphia In April of that year.
At college he is a member of the Y
NJ. G. A., is one of the organizers and
officers of the Campus Club, which is
an organization connected with the De.
partment of Biology. He is a member
OF the Wharton Club, a social organi.
zation, and has been on the Advisory
Board of the Phoenix, the college pub.
lication. for his full four years, being
chairman of this board in his senior
year. He is the first Oriental to finish
four years at Swarthmore.

Examinations and
Appraisements
Fort Worth, Texas

CbIud " SGN
Security Producing & Drilling Company,
Fort Worth, Texas.
Gentlemen:
After examining the territory North and weat of the town of
Purdon, in the Southwestern part of Navarro County, where your
Company is now drilling a prospective oil well, / will say that
l believe the prospects are favorable for the production Of petro-
leun oil, for the following reasons:
FIRST-The well is located on the South end of a Terrace
Structure whose axis runs nearly North and South for a distance
of several miles. This structure terminates at or near the local
ity where Richland Creek crosses toward the East, and extends
North in a broad and rather fiat terrace fold some two and a
half miles wide and is about four miles long. A structure of
this character would have a prospective producing area along its
axis of about one mile wide by two and a half miles long.
S~ECOND-The history of the Corsicana oil field has proven
where a structure of this character has been found they have
almost invariably produced oil from one or more sands in paying
quantities.
THIRD-The history of some wells that have previously been
drilled in the Purdon locality shows that there are oil and gas
bearing formations, or sands, in the underground structure, and
that these sands occur at the following depths: The first from
basement sands about 5000 feet, all of which are exceptionally
favorable because of the porosity of the sands and the non
porosty of the under and over laying formations.
skill are used in this development, the chances are most favor
able for the production of oil and gas in commercial quantities.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) A. n. WOODFIN,
Geological Engineer.
Fort Worth, Texas.
+. S. The details of the topography, drainage and geology
are covered in my report and will furnish a working knowledge
of the underground formations and their relation to each other.

Gas Wells Were at Mexia Before
Gushers Were Discovered

Before Colonel Humphreys started to drill his first well at Mexia
there had been possibly eight or ten gas wells drilled in the Mexa
field. These gas wells were only about 1900 feet deep. The men
who drilled these gas wells were drilling right over a pool of oil worth
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but they didn't have the nerve to drill
deep enough to get it
When Colonel Humphreys went to Mexia it was considered moth
ing but a gas field. But it looked different to him He had discov-
cred other oil fields. He said: "Mexia has the ear-marks of a big oil
field" He had his geologist go over the field. He made a favorable
report Colonel Humphreys had more nerve than the men who had
quit drilling when gas was struck at 1,500 field. He drilled a deep
well. At about 300 feet he brought. in Mexia's first big gusher.
Hundreds of gushers have been drilled there since then. He has
since made MILLIONS OF DOLLARS PROFITS FOR HIS STOCK
HOLDERS.

GeoIogist Woodfin Places His 0. K.
On Our Property

MI woodfn is a petroleum engineer with twenty years expert
ence in the Texas and Oklahoma oil fields. His services are cont1n-
ualy N demand by some of the largest producers of OIL He is a man
we'll known throughout these great oil fields, whose judgment and
advice can be relied upon. He has been responsible for the opening
up of a number of new producing oil fields, and his success in this
respect is almost unparalleled. It was Mr.. Woodfn who made the
location of the discovery well which opened the Northwest Extension
of the Breckenridge field in Stephens County, Texas. 1t wa upon
his advice that drilling wa started which opened the ThraIl field in
Texas.
He also advised the drilling of the Hart well in Palo Pinto County,
Texas, which opened up a n immense new oil-bearing zone. Many
other successful operations have been carried out upon his judgment
and advice, which places him in the forepart a a successful geologist
and petroleum engineer.
The management of the Security Producing & Drilling Company
does not rely entirely upon their own Judgment, when they undertake
the development of an oil property, but call in experts and secure
their advice and judgment before undertaking the expenditure of
large amounts of money. By so doing. your interest as a stockholder
is safeguarded to the fullest extent. Mr.. Woodfn has made a very
exhaustive examination of the Purdon structure where re are now
drilling. He recommends it most highly, he believes that we will open
up a n entirely new oil pool on this structure. He has placed his stamp
of approval upon our location. He thinks so favorably of it that he is
taking a good substantial block of the stock himself. From his ex-
perience, he believes we will get just IS big gushers o this structure
as they ever got in Mexia. He believes we have an opportunity here
as great if not greater than Colonel Humphreys had when he went
into Mexia. Conditions are quite similar and by every rule of geol
ogy, we are setting directly over an immense oil pool.
, 1922-03-11
Nine Gas Wells Around Where We
Ml- Are Now Drilling W.

Compare the conditions that existed at Mexia before the first
gusher was brought in with the conditions that now exist where we
are drilling the first well on our 1000 acres of leases. There are
NINE GAS WELLS near our leases. These gas wells were struck at
depths ranging from 400 to 800 feet One of them is only a few
hundred feet northeast of where W ar now drilling. 1t is right on
one of the leases secured by our company. There is one gas well
south of our drilling well two more northeast, one east and two south
east ofi-
There are SIX wells drilling, or preparing to drill, within a radius
of ~ to 5 miles of our we'll. This shows what others think of our
location. Some of our leases extend near to some of these other wells,
Colonel Humphreys had gas wells to guide him. His geologst
passed favorably on the prospects of getting oil. He drilled deeper
than the gas wells. He brought in a gusher. He made MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS FOR HIS STOCKHOLDERS.
We have NINE gas wells near our leases. Read Geologist Wood
fms report reproduced in this advertisement. We are now drilling.
We expect to discover a GUSHER below the depth at which these
DOLLARS PROFITS FOR OUR STOCKHOLDERS.

Our 1000 Acres May Become
- Worth Millions

Our 1000 acres OF leases should become worth MILLIONS of
drilled in the Mexia field to the south of us. The Magnolia Petro-
Ieum Company paid 81, 100, 100000 for the Desenberg and the 4S-acre
lease on which it was drilled. Think what our 1000 acres of leases
may be worth

Frank Hague and Teddy Edwards
must have laughed when they wrote
that plank. In 1913, when Frank
Hague first gained control of the
Jersey City Commission, the tax rate
was $1.35 per 800 and the city tax
levy $500, 600. In 1922 the tax
rate is $3.50 per 500, and the tax
levy, $11,160,000. Under the benign
guidance of the Car of Jersey City
its tax levy has increased 400 per
cent and the tax rate has only been
kept down to the present value by
an undue increase in assessment
values. And Notwithstanding this
avalanche of taxation L am told that
many of the children of jersey City
can go to school half sessions. only.
This is little Joke which only Judge
Silzer and Mayor Hague can apprt-
ciate.
Another little joke that I am GO
ing to dwell on is the five-eent fare.
When Governor Edwards entered
office he promised a five-cent fare
and appointed a commission of his
own selection behold another
Democratic promise fulfilled 4 an
eight-cent fare. and with one-cent
added for transfers. But Judge Sill
zer's little joke is better yet. He
promises a five-cent fare under the
original franchises with the several
municipalities whereby the citizens
of the state will have the rare priv
ilege of paying a fve-ceat fare In
every town and village through
which they ride. I will not go into
the question of the constithtionality
of Judge Silzer's proposed remedy
for the eight-cent fare. He Is a
lawyer and he knows that his pro-
posed law is unconstitutional I SIM
ply say that if he attained his end
it would simply mean that If you
desired to go from Hoboken to Bay
onne, you would have the privilege
of paying five cents three times. VI
this Is the sort of five-eent fare
which appeals to you, then undonhf
eddy Judge Silzer is entitled TO your
