DEPTH OF $3.50 FEET
REACHED In POMONA WELL

West Plains, Aug. 24.-Although
only one shift is drilling work at the
Pomona test oil well steadily con
tinues and depth Of $3.50 feet had
been reached yesterday afternoon.
The drill has struck hard formation
in which there is no sand and work is
proceeding with extreme caution.
Two new steel drill bits have been
received to replace the ones which
have been in use since drilling was
begun more than two years ago. The
old bits have been worn and resharp-
ened until about one half their origin
al length remained.

HOW TO MAKE A TOWN POOR

The soldiers in the near southwest
during the Civil War used to say that
the birthstone pit was "a mile and a
half on the other side of Fort Scott"
Fort Scott, as you may or may not
happen to know, is an enterpnslng
and lovely little city on the eastern
border of Kansas. 1t used to be a
border town, but now it rs dairy
town, and therefore, Is far, far re-
moved from the internal regions.
George Marble, veteran editor of the
Fort Scott Tribune Monitor told the
s1ory of his town and it's transition
10 the journalists of Missouri at
Columbia recently, while advising
them to boost their fundamental IN
elustry, which in most cases, he de-
cIared, they would find to be agricul-
rure. Fort Scott, it seems, had I'M
poverished itself paying bonuses to
manufacturing concerns whose
smokestacks were idle" The COM
lnunity was in hard lines. Then Fort
Scott saw the light, and began to
boost its agricultural possibilities,
with special attention to dairying.
Milk produced in the territory now
brings in more than $1,000 day to
the local condensories, it is said, and
the community is prosperous. There
are thousands of towns that might
take this lesson to heart, and increase
wealth and population by helping de-
velop the agricultural wealth at hand
One way Of helping is to see that the
Farmers get the highest price the
market will stand for all the products
they offer for sale. There are too
many places where they are bilked
