ment and about twelve miles east Of
the Leaseholders field.
This well was drilling at 1900 feet
Saturday and the reports received say
that the formations are very similar
to wells which have been drilled in
proven territory.
An important test is being drilled
east of Miranda City on Block . of
the 0juelos Grant. The well was 1000
feet deep Saturday. Up TO this time
there has nothing but gas found this
far TO the east in this part Of the Mi
rando City field and great care is be-
ing taken in the drilling to locate
the oil sand which is likely to be en-
countered here as the well is far to
the east Of any well yet drilled in this
immediate part of the territory.
The well is known as the Butler and
McMurray No. /. Butler and Nc
Murray is one of the biggest drilling
contracting firms in the field.

To Build Sugar Refineries.

Monterey, Mex, April 14.-Inter-
est of the Mexican government in the
agricultural development of the coun-
try is evidenced in the appropriation
of 81, 100000 for the purchase of agri-
cultural implements and the building
Of sugar refineries. Most of the money
will be expended on Improvements in
the state of Morales. Five refineries,
each to cost about $4,000, will be
built. Seeds also are to be purchased
and distributed equally among all the
planters of the state.

How Votes are Secured

The next step is to call on or write the campaign depart
ment for a free working outfit, consisting of a special re-
ceipt book, sample copies Of the paper and other informa-
ton relative to launching an active campaign,
Thus equipped, you have but to go to your friends and
neighbors, relatives and acquaintance, and have them clip
all the free coupons from their papers, or pay up a subscrip-
ton to the Casper Daily Tribune through you. HAT ALL
THERE is TO 1T. However, you will never win anything
unless you make the start; and, while it will not be a very
difficult matter to capture one of the big prizes, nevertheless
you should start at once: You must plan out your campaign
the same as any successful business man plans out his work
for a season, and above everything else let no one discour-
age you, but stick to the finish. Anything worth having is
worth striving for. A few short weeks and you may be rid
ing in your own automobile.
1t takes votes to win and votes are secured in two ways:
First, by clipping the coupons appearing in each issue of the
Casper Daily Tribune. Begin by gathering them now. After
a short time these coupons will be reduced to a lesser num-
Der of votes. The only restriction placed on coupons is that
they'must be deposited at the campaign department of the
Tribune on or before the expiration date printed thereon.
Get your friends saving these coupons for you-they all
count.
The other, and faster, way to get votes is by securing new
and renewal subscriptions to the Daily Tribune. On each
subscription turned in a certain number of votes are issued,
the number varying according to the amount paid and dur
ing which "period" same are received at the campaign de-
partment (see schedule of votes elsewhere). So, you see,
the more subscriptions you secure the more votes you can
get and the better your chances are to capture the grand
capital prize.
, 1923-02-10
THE PLAN IN BRIEF

The object of this distribution is two -fold-primariIv n
increase the already large subscription list of the Daily Trib-
une, to collect subscription payments from present or old
subscribers, and at the same time afford our friends and
readers an unparalleled opportunity to profit, and in a big
way, through their spare time during the next few weeks.
80, 1t is a plan that works both ways and to the ultimate
good of all concerned.
In order to gain this end quickly and advantageouslv, the
most valuable and attractive list of prizes ever offered by a
local newspaper in this section of the country has been made
ready for distribution among those who participate most
heartily. Ambition and energy are the only requisites for
success.
The plan adopted is the fairest and most impartial con-
celVable. There will be no double vote" offer, extra votes
given, or any other vote inducement whatever, inauprrated
during this competition. Neither will there be any tong
term subscriptions accepted. The plan of the campaign is
straightforward and simple and is fully outlined in this an
nouncement.
Let it be fully understood at the very outset that this is
not a beauty" nor popularity" contest, but a strictly legiti-
mate, competitive proposition for enterprising men and
women, and boys and girls, and one in which no element of
chance enters: One feature of this competition is the fact
that there will be no losers in this race.
, 1923-02-10
Early Start Means Easy Finish

The advantages Of an early start are manifest. Not only
do you have the full time in which to secure the winning
votes, but now and up to and including Monday, April 2,
you will receive the maximum schedule of votes on sUbscrip-
tions. while those who put off entering until a later date will
have to take what is left.
Don't lose valuable time waiting to "see what the other
fellow is going to do" but pitch right in and show the "other
fellow" how to do it.

SENATOR EDWARDS OF
NEW JERSEY C0MMENDs
WORK OF MISS C0uRT0T

Mise Marguerite Courtot, who plays
the leading feminine role in the Elmer
Clifton production. Down to the Sea
in Ships" which plays at the America
theater Sunday and Monday has a
long and enviable record OF achieve
ment in the silent drama. Although
she already has hor6es of admirers.
her exceptionally splendid work IN
this romance of old whaling days bids
fair to place her on the topmost rung
Of the ladder OF fame.
Miss Courtot is a native of New
<Jersey and has been complimented by
no less a parsonage than Governor
Edward /. Edwards OF New Jersey
for her exceptional work in this pic
ture. Senator-elect Edwards, who wit
messed a pre-release showing of tho
production. was enthusiastic over the
picture n the act that a Jersey girl
had played so important a role in It.
During a recent illness. when Miss
Courtot was operated on for appen.
dicitis, the governor sent her a largo
box of orchids with the following mes.
sage: ct have Just witnessed your
splendid performance in Down to
the Sea in Ships" and am grieved to
hear OF YOU illness. I wish you a
speedy and a long and sue.
cessful career"
In Down to tho e in Ships"
Miss Cou=tot Is Seen as Patience Nor
gan. h daughter OF a naughty and
God-fearing old Quaker. She is in love
with her childhood playmate who is
not of the Quaker faith. Her father
exacts from her a promise hat she
will marry M one but a whaleman, n
man who mas launched his harpoon
into a mighty bull" whale.
The many trials and heartaches
which this young couple uncergo in
order TO comply with the stern de-
cree Of the father furnishes some
amazingly dramatic scenes. in which
Miss Courtot displays a histrionic
ability that places her high in the
rank OF great artists.
The role of the quaint little Quaker
miss is n well adapted to Miss
Co~urtut's winsome and appealing
type OF beauty and the costumes
which she wears. which are the self.
same gowns worn by the old-time
ouakers of New Bedford enhances
her natural charm and appeal.
