One of the most satisfactory oil
meetings ever held in Hays was held
at the City Hall, Tuesday afternoon.
when some gentlemen from Peabody
held a, talk-fest with a number of
gentlemen interested in oil develop
ment and hope to see a successful
well sunken in our county. The
meeting adjourned to Friday after
noon at ? o'clock at the City Hall,
when all are invited and proposition
will be submitted in writing, and as
everybody would like to see it a sue
cess, the room should be crowded.
Their offer was the best ever made
here, agreeing to ship the derrick,
materials and machinery here from
the Peabody field, put up and bore
500 feet before they ask the people
here to put up a dollar toward ex-
pense. They want so many leases in
the county, and will go in with the
people here, putting up half of the
money for expenses, and profits if oil
is found. Their experts have made
several private examinations of the
prospects in oil formations and claim
the indications are all that can be
asked, far better than in many
places where oil has been found, but
viii have to go down in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 feet.
With this proposition, and they
putting in half the money and furn-
fishing in avdance about $4,000 for
the machinery and piping, it looks
more feasible than any of the former
ones presented.
Turn out Friday and hear what
they offer.

Kansas City, Missouri, April 20, 1922
To All Civic Bodies, Schools and
Churches located on the Kansas
Division of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company.
Greetings:
The Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany is making an intensive cam
Paign in the interest of SAFETY
FIRST for its employees, all patrons
and all people who live along the
right-of-way and who use our cross
ings in their business or pleasure.
In the interest of humanity and
preservation of life and limb, we re-
specially ask the Civic Bodies,
Schools and Churches, to take up
with their respective organizations in
regard to this Safety Movement, ask
ing them upon approaching Railroad
crossings to STOP, LOOK AND
LISTEN.
In this way there will be no posi-
bility of an accident at any of the
crossings, and there will be no lives
lost or manned bodies. There will be
no sorrow or regret in the homes by
the los of a parent or child, or one
crippled for life.
Those who follow out a practice of
this kind, thus eliminating the posi-
bility of a death or an accident, viii
always have clear conscience,
knowing that they have done their
part for humanity in the preservation
of life and limb, and by their efforts
have reduced these accidents to a
minimum.
Thanking you in advance for any
cooperation on your part that Will
bring about the desired results,
