PRESIDENT DELAYS
ANNUAL MESSAGE
Failure to Deliver It to Con-
gress Today Breaks Old
Practice.
NO DATE IS FIXED YET
Some Advisers Reported to HOLD
Position No Communication
Is Necessary.
ao DATE is FIXED YET

President Harding broke precedent
today by permitting the second day of
the new session of Congress to pass
without delivering his annual message
reporting on "the state Of the Cnion''
and outlining the administrators
recommendations for legislation.
1t was said at the White House that
no date had been fixed for the Presf-
dents appearance before the Senate
and House. but that he expected to be
able to complete his message in time
to deliver it before the end Of the week.
Officials added no formal explanation
for the delay. but indicated that pres
sure Of public business had prevented
compliance with the usual custom un-
der which previous presidential mes
sages have been placed in the hands Of
Congress on the first or second day Of
the session.
Not Required by Law.
There Is no provision of law re-
eulring that the President report TO
Congress at the beginning of the an
nual short session. it was pointed
merely that the executive shall.
from time to time. give to the Con-
sress information of the state of the
UA.on and recommend to their con-
sideration such measures as he shall
Judge necessary and eXpedient." The
custom of making this report not
later than the second day of each
session was established early in the
history of the nation. however. and
Senate and House attaches said to-
day they could not recall when it
ever had been broken.
"Annual Message" May Go.
Since the regular short session
which began yesterday is to deal
largely with the annual budget and
with the administration shipping bill.
some of Mr.. Harding's advisers are
understood to have taken the position
that no annual message" as the
term usually is applied. would be nee
essary. Only two weeks ago. at the
beginning of the special session. the
President communicated TO Congress
at length his reasons for asking for
passage of the shipping bill, and the
budget with it's accompanying routine
letter of transmittal from the Presi-
dent was sent to the Capitol yester-
day.
Working ON Message.
After consideration, however, MIR.
Harding is understood to have decided
that further message should be sent.
1t was indicated at the White House
today that he had begun work on it.
but officials would venture no predic-
tion as to its probable length or how
much time would be required to COM
plete it.
In his message to the special ses-
sion two weeks ago the President
made brief reference to rural credits,
and added that Ito this problem and

New Oil Sand Uncovered
In North Duncan Field

4 new oil sand was recently un-
covered by the Texas Drilling Syndi.

30, 1n.sw, which topped the pay at
2226 feet, and with the drill 16 feet
in, is flowing by heads. Bridging of
the hole two feet at the bottom of
the casing Is delaying completion,
but estimate Of the production is 800
700 barrels according TO Charles Van
Week, official with the company, who
was here last night. Thus far there
are but four wells in the field which
have penetrated the new sand, none
OF which has drilled through it, with
l6 feet being the maximum in which
any well has entered this pay. The
sand has production initial produc.
ton a singh as 1900 barrels. Prior TO
the discovery OF the 1900 foot sand
wells In the north Duncan area have
been producing from sand topped at
about el00 feet, varying In thickness
from eight to 10 feet and averaging
initial production of $50 barrels.
There are several shallow sands
known 10 exist in the north Duncan
field at depths ranging from SOO.s5o
feet, with thicknesses OF seven to
nine feet. which have been clrlled
through but never have been tested
with the finding of the deep pay

ators on adjacent acreage are drilling
twin wells TO reach the sand. The use
OF perforated casing in the Duncan
area Is practically prohlbltiye. due to
the water problem, which is very Sc.
rlous there.
The north Duncan field Is now
about one year old, and is very ac.
tive. according to Mr.. Van Week bu,
shortage of water with which to car.

to great extent. The Texas syndicate

Probability of Drilling
Deeper to be Decided
BY Wednesday

Estimate based on the results OF
the bailiny test made on the Amerada
Petroleum Company's we'll on the sam
Baptiste farm in the southwest cor
ner of the northeast quarter OF the
southeast quarter Of section ~, oslo
is that the well will make lOO-l25 par
rels if placed on the pump with pro-
duction yielded from the Powers SAND
The estimate tallies with the produc-
ton taken out during the bailing on
"a hour gauge. Whether the test
will be completed at its present depth
and placed on the pump or be drilled
deeper has not beer definitely decided
as yet but ii is expected that decls-
ion will be reached relative TO the
matter by next Wednesday. In the
meantime the operators will continue
to bail the test, and may wash the
sand during that time.
Late report from the field states that
the 10.inch casing was lifted about
one and one half feet on the theorN
that part of the sand had been cased
off.
Completion Of the we'll as lOO-bar-
rel pumper at .t5 pcesent deptn, name

the Brock district, for production from

depth makes K profitable 10 operate
in the area. The richness of the sand
has created much interest, for although
there is reported as being but five
feet Of it nevertheless its yield and
tne high gravity Of the oil is except
ional.
Possibilities of deeper sands existing
below the Powers sand in the Brock
territory has also created great in
terest among the members of the
fraternity. General belief is that a
more prolific sand exists beneath
that already uncovered. With the be-
lief substantiated by reference TO the
Hewitt and other Carter county fields,
where similar formations as those en-
countered in the Amerada test We're
found, and where deeper drilling prov

This is the word Of the oklahoma

the spread Of the consolidated school.
There are in Oklahoma today 2Ul
such schools, and with the exception

Projects are now under way, accord

seven outstanding counties, and IL

Movement in Infancy.
The consolidated school movement

but it is such lusty little fellow that
It's parent declares that it is destined
to grow into the largest member of

Mr.. Duke explained. Pupils are col

Advantages Many.
The advantage Of the consolidated /
school. according to Mr. Duke. is |
manifold. BY centralizing the equip |
ment and the teaching force Of a
given territory specification within the
teaching staff can be effected as in
the town schools. Instead Of being
required to teach all subjects from
the primer to the eighth grade among |
them. each specializing in his or her |
own grade or grades. Tests have
indicated, Mr.. Duke said. that the in.
crease in efficiency Of instructions
thus accomplished is very great. High |
school courses can also be offered in
consolidated schools whereas this
would be impossible in regular rural
schools.
Another major advantage claimed /
for the consolidated school is that by
pooling the resources OF several dis
tricts, equipment can be purchased
which viii afford training 10 boys and
