DRILL GOING ON
AT MASON TEST
IMPROVED PACKER PUT IN PO-
SITION AND WATER NOW
SHUT OFF.

The drillers at the w. P. Mason
test well, two and one half miles
northeast of Washington, succeeded
il again shutting off the water at
the test Monday, after drilling opera
tions had been suspended for about
ten days. On Wednesday the hole
was bailed dry and it is believed the
improved packer used this time will
hold, no water having since shown
up. Active drilling will be resumed
this morning.
In e conversation with Mr.. Hack
athorn a few days ago the Telegraph
man had his belief in the probability
of this test proving up a real oil field
further strengthened. Mr.. Hacka-
thorn has drilled many successful
wells and is thoroughly familiar with
the game; he says that with what he
has already seen if he does not run
into something worth while at the
Mason test he will receive the sur
prise of his life.
The drill is in rock at this time and
has been for the past 100 feet, with
the exception Of several thin water
sand deposits encountered. Drilier
Hackathorn believes he is done with
water sands for the present and he
hopes to go into a pay oil sand when
this rock is penetrated.
Trading in leases is more lively than
for some months, according to a state
ment issued from the clerks office,
and there seems to be a general re-
vival of interest in this section.

STOCK PERISH
IN BELTON FIRE
FIVE HEAD OF MULES, HORSE
AND 2 COWS DIE IN FIRE
AT BELTON.

A large barn belonging to Mr.. Ly'
man Eley, together with the contents
including several head of stock, was
destr ,yed by fire at Belton at eleven
o'clock Sunday night. The origin of
the fire is not known and when dis
covered it had gained such headvay
that it was impossible to rescue any
Of the stock or get any fee dstuff out.
Four mules, one horse and two cows
belonging to Mr.. Eley and a mule
belonging to Rev. Geo. B. Hardy of
Pike City, Baptist minister, perished
in the flames.
Rev. Hardy preached at Bolton
Sunday and was spending the nigh:
with Mr.. Eley. After returning from
preaching services Sunday night the
tamily soon retired ana all were
asleep before the fire broke out. The
house was only about thirty yards
from the barn and Re-. Hardy was
the first to be awakened by the light
from the burning building. He hur-
ried to the scene and threw the barn
door open, but the heat from within
was so intense that no attempt could
be made to get the stock out.
Mr.. Eley's loss is conservativeiy
estimated at 100000.

goer can be classed.
SEVENTH: There are thousands
of business, professional. political,
and official men who neglect church
because they are conscious of the
fact that they are grossly sinful,
selfish, conceited, and derelict in the
performance of their duties. They
dread to face the gospel mirror
wherein they can behold their own
faces over which is written guilt.
They know that If they face the
gospel as expounded from Gods In
fallible Word they will have to sur
render their selfish, mean conceited
business and professional attitude
toward the church and the gospel
The conceited professional man
tries to build for himself a code and
produces a state of self-centered
contentment. which he does not
want disturbed by the courageous
presentation or the full gospel OF
Jesus Christ. Men are neglecting to
attend church because they are
afraid to face the judgment gospel.
Men are staying at home or they are
going on the fields of pleasure or
they are attending to business be-
cause of their innate and overt and
continued meanness. They are try
ing to avoid the doctrine of RESPONSE
bility, accountability, and judgment
They are foolish. Every sensible
man ought to prepare to meet His
God. Every desirable, worthy citizen
ought to be found in his pew every
Sunday morning worshiping God and
paying his honest obligations to the
church Of Jesus Christ.

The day has come, however. when a

THE NON.CHURCH GOER
Dill. D.

Why do men neglect church atten
daneeH II you mean all men do no
attend church you are in error. 1t Is
true that far too many stay away
from divine worship. The following
reasons can be assigned why certain
classes neglect this important duty:
FIRST: A scared Sabbath con-
science sends men to the golf links
on the Holy Sabbath.
SECOND: The gasoline mania
causes thousands to take the family,
the dog, and the lunch basket into
the automobile early Sabbath morn
ing when they begin to break the
Ten Commandments, the speed
laws. the rules of domestic tranquil
ty and Sabbath observance.
THIRD: Screenitis sends thous-
snds into the motion picture
houses. where they make a pagan
attack upon Gods Holy Day.
FOURTH: Laziness keeps thous-
snds at home wrapped in the bed
clothes of Incidence and filth-too
indolent, sloven and filthy to dress
and attend divine worship.
FIFTH: False conception of wor-
ship. or because the sermon is poor
or the minister worse than dead,
they drift into the habit of neglect
ing church attendace.
SIXTH: A large number of those
who stay away do so because they
are plain pagans; their education is
defective; their breeding is below
the standard. They are just plain
heather. No well-bred, we'll
trained, modern, up-tO-date, and
otherwise normal man stays away
from church services. The bum,
gambler. fraud, embezzler, outcast,
loafer, and the scum of the earth
stay away from church. Behold the
crowd with which the non-church
