Dear Miss Brooks:
1 was very much pleased for the an
swers you gave me last time. Would
it be too much bother to answer few
more? My sister has also been inter-
ested in your corner. % Is it proper
or improper to ask a boy friend into
the house when he has come to make a
date, if this is about the second time
he has come? (2) Is 1t proper for a
girl of thirteen years of age to go
bare-footed in the summer?
BRIGHT EYES AND SWEET LIPS,

Glad to welcome you again, Bright
Eyes. You come quite a distance to
visit with us don't you? % 1t is al
ways proper to invite anyone into your

ture. (2) No, it is hardly proper for a
girl of thirteen to go barefoot, dear.

TUERPE TRACT WELL
CREATES INTEREST
BY BLOWING OUT OIL
Beauchnmp Says He Will
Put Rig Back On and
Clean Out the Hole.

The Beauchamp Petroleum Com
pany'S No. l Tuerpe, completed for small
production last summer after drilling to
PHI feet has created considerable in
tereSt in the last few weeks by blowing
out sending oil all over the surround
ing territory, according to c. A. Beau
champ. who visited the well last week.
Mr.. Beauchamp says he will put rig
back on the hole. clean it out TO the
bottom and believes that he has an ex-
ccllent we'll, He has put in a line to
small storage tank now and will save
what oil comes out pending arrival Of
a rig.
Il am satisfied that this well has
come in after sitting for several months
without pumping" said Mr.. Beauchamp.
at is my belief that the walls were
sealed through rotary drilling and that
they gradually loOsened up and the oil
flow began. The well is casing heav-
ily. Another interesting thing is that
this oil may be coming in from right
above the chalk. This hole is down
2117 feet with casing set to 400 feet
At all events we will clean out this
hole and see what the well will do with
careful handling. In the event It
proyes TO be a good well as | expect 1t

Deep Test Drilling in East

Watched Closely.
MORE PIPPIN WELLS
Operator Awards Contract
to E. B. Zachry for
Second Hole.

Miranda City, Tex, Jan. 20.-There
have been conflicting rumors regarding
the Cole Petroleum Company's No. 2,
drilling two miles north of Bruni, in
the eastern edge of Webb county. The
fact is, this well is drilling in most
favorable formation for the production
of oil. . ~
a good petroleum gas was struck last
week at depth of 1925 feet directly
under a hard rock. This gas was pres
cnt in few feet of clay and sand
Directly under the gas was another
rock of white lime formation, fol-
lowed by shale and shell and it is this
formation that is constantly being en-
countered with small pockets of gas be-
ing drilled through.
Oil men and biologists are watch
ing the well closely and they look for
Cole Petroleum Company TO bring in
the first deep test we'll in the district
As this well is located some ten miles
east of the escarpment it makes the
comment more frequent and the favor
able breaking up of the different for
nations show that most anything may
be expected in the next few hundred
feet.
Thursday morning the hole was about
3100 feet deep and the above-described
formations with their frequent changes
is what has given impetus to the feel
ing that a well has been brought in or
will be brought in. Rumors are al
ways present in every oil field in the
world and real oil men do not place any
confidence in such rumors unless they
can trace them to reliable sources. This
field covers so much territory that ru-
mors cause the waste of lots of time and
energy.
Another we'll will be spudded in dur
ing the coming week in Jim Hogg coun-
ty, four miles southwest of the little
town of Randado.

FISHING JOB NEAR END
Francis No. i'm KIeberg County Soon
May Be Drilling Again.

Kingsyille, Tex, Jan. 2O.-Reports
from Francis Well No. 1 are to the
effect that Driller Breeding, who about
one week ago, took over the hole, has
all but cleaned out the well to within a
few feet of its original depth where
the enormous gas pressure was en-
countered several months ago, and there
was every indication that the six-inch
casing would be set tomorrow and the
gasser brought in. 1t will be remem-
bered that the big gasser blew IN at the
rate of sixty TO seventy million feet per
day for six rays, then shut itself off by
caving in. Since that time drillers have
been unable to reopen the hole until Mr..
Breeding took contract to get the
tools, casing, ETC., out and recase the
well from top to bottom. 1t now seems
that he will succeed. The Humble pee
pie. with their first test, about one
half mile west of this gasser are down
1900 feet, having set ten inch casing
at 1000 feet. The work is progressing
nicely and they hope to reach the oil
bearing sand early in February.

UPWARD TREND IN
LIGHT CRUDE PRICES
BELIEVED AT HAM
Mid Continent Has Had tn,
Advances and Others
Are Probable.

1t seems that the upturn in the pricI
of crude oil in the United States, eI
pecially the lighter grades, has arrived
During last week, there have been tw}
1U-cent increases for practically al
oils in the Mid-Continent. The Gull
Coast heavy oils have not been changed
and Louisiana and Arkansas crude|
have been increased only 10 cents. ODD
January @, there was a decrease in thu
posted price of California crudes, and
the price will doubtless stand, as thu
production on the West, Coast had
reach the tremendous total of 525,0Oq
barrels daily.
In the face OF a 10,000-barrel inI
crease in the production of the CaliforI
MIA fields, the daily average productior
of crude oil in the United States ID
down to 1,74S,S20 barrels from 1,777-
94J barrels the previous week, accord
ing to figures compiled BY the oil
Weekly. Oklahoma production was w
about 5000 barrels, but Texas was off
about 1000 barrels and the Mountain
States fields showed a large decline
Arkansas was also off about 1000 bar
rels. Other smaller declines were no
ted over the country.
The increase in the posted price'o
North Texas crudes was reflected in a
sitter market for gasoline. The North
Texas independent refiners had been
paying premiums, sometimes as high as
40 cents. barrel, and with the new
posted crude price they cannot pay such
premiums until the refined products abb
sorb some of the increase. Some of the
refineries will curtail their runs for a
time, and the managers will proceed in
a most careful manner to keep out OF
a pinch.
1t was freely predicted in the Gulf
Coast late in the week that Gulf Coast
Grade A crude will receive an increase
shortly. This prediction is met by the
statement that Gulf Coast stocks are
on the increase. and once more some
producers say that the increase is
caused by, the piling up Of Grade r
stuff, only fit at this time for fuel
