the drillers had all but lost control
of the well because of the pressure
from oil and gas below. Scores of
automobiles carrying oil fans rushed
TO the well.
Having Trouble In 19.
The Arrasmith and McBee well,
In section 19-5n.7w. where an oil
sand was struck at 1927 feet, is
the cause of considerable grief. In
setting casing. the pipe became
frozen and is stuck tight at a point
some 400 feet above the sand, re-

Yesterday afternoon. Mr. McBee
stated that in all probability the rig
will be skidded today or tomorrow
and new hole started. Efforts to
loosen the casing up to today, had
failed and Mr.. McBee had given up
hopes that they would eliminate
the trouble, he said.

thin, the bit passing through il into

men In the field. They are drilling
at depth between 1900 and 1900
feet, Indications being favorable.
Many Other Wells Active.
The Cant and Arrasmith well on
the Newell farm in section 27-6n-7w
is proceeding after picking up
sand at around 2,1O0 feet. The
strata proved barren and the drill
ers are feeling their way down to
lower levels.
The Holmes, Wharton and Allen
well in section 12-5n-Sw, is drilling
at about 800 feet, with the forma-

same as were found in the Mum

In the gas area around Farwell,
a number of wells are drilling field

That's why Nature
prescribes fruits

The reason Nature places fruits so lavishly
upon her bill of fare is because fruits are
healthful, and particularly healthful for the
teeth and gums.
Fruits contain wholesome, mild acids that
stimulate the natural saliva flow. When you
place an acidulous fruit like grapefruit IN the
mouth, your salivary glands pour forth an
extra flow of alkaline saliva to overcome the
fruit acid. This extra alkaline saliva, when
your "mouth waters" continues to battle the
teeth long after the fruit has been eaten. nus
it is present to overcome the acids OF fermen-
tation that form from the starehy and sugsry
foods you eat.
