Oil in Australia.

The assistant government geologisi
employed by the Frenzy Kimberley Oil
company sends a very hopeful report
about the oil bore at Mount Wynne
Kimberley, Australia. The bore Is
down 12S feet. and between the one
hundred and ninth and one hundred
and twenty-frst foot passed through
broken strata with seams filled with
asphalt, which must have migrated
from oil-bearing beds below. The pros,
pect area is now restricted within def
mite limits, which simpliies the work,
and there are prospects Of a successful
issue before very long.

TREES REQUIRE CULTIVATION
Row Crops, Such as Potatoes, Nav
Be Grown in Between-SoiI
Mulch is Essential.

Trees require cultivation just the
same as any farm crop" says D. C.
Nooring, horticulturist with the extern.
sion division Of the Oklahoma A. and
NJ. college. Cultivated row crops,
such as potatoes, may be grown in
between the rows OF the trees while
young. AS the trees enlarge in size
less row crops should be grown until
the entire space is left TO the trees. A
soil mulch established with whatever
practical tool available, should be
maintained about the young trees from
early summer until the last of July
during the average season. During a
dry year continue your cultivation
until August"

On Their Way.

Three girls and l were walking home
from school n day, and decided to
have some ice cream. We found we
had 10 cents each.
\ young man we all knew worked
in the shop where we had planned TO
stop. and not knowing the price of
their ice cream and not daring 10 go
in without enough money, we called n
little girl and sent her in TO ask the
price.
We were all extremely embarrassed
when she came 10 the door. followed
by the young man, and called 10 US:
"It's all right-come on In, girls. It's
only a dime"
But we didn't 60 in; we hurried

MORE ATTENTION TO FENCES
Very Little Real Building Has Been
Done for Some Years-Labor
in Repairs Wasted.

Very little real fence building has
been done in a number of years. but
q lot Of labor has been put on old
fences in trying 10 make them do serv.
ice a little longer. Much of this labor
has been practically wasted. No
zone is a fence that has outlived its
usefulness, repaired in one place, than
it breaks down in another. and before
the breakdown is discovered, heavy
damage has been done TO some crop
by live stock.

CORN MOST IMPORTANT CROP
Quantity of Yield Is Greatly Infiu-

Let Hogs Harvest.

Corn is the most important crop in
the United States. both in acreage and

Probably the most cnvied young

was Master George Dearborn. the

George had an aviator's helmit ad-

Giles, and clambered into the passen-
ger seat of the Curtis plane, almost
out Of sight Pilot Fogg started the
motor whirring, and tuned the plane
up before hopping off with his eager
young passenger. AS the plane tax
led down the field to the take OFT,
George waved a hand in the air to
his playmates who had assembled to
see him rewarded for submitting the
best model airplane in the recent
contest. The pane was the work OF
George and his Older brother Charles.
1t SO happens that Charles is not
physically abe to fly in plane, so
George had to get Il double thrill out
of his trip that later he might share
it's pleasures with his brother.

RESCuES TACOMA PARTY

A man and woman from Lewis
ton who were fishing recently on
Woodbury. Pond, one of the Tacoma
chain, had a very narrow escape
from drowning. according to a story
told by Chief Game Warden Rich
ard j. Upton of this city.
The couple had gone out on the
wdter with boatman, an elderly
man whose boat was very small and
proved to be very lcaky. Warden
Upton and Deputy Warden Jesse
Alexander, who was with him, no
ticed the boat sitting low in the wat
or but paid no attention to it until
they saw that one of the men in 1t
had caught his line on the bottom
of the pond. The boatman was row.
ing successfully in various dlrec-
tons, attempting to get the line
clear. and the other man was hastily
bailing water. The wardens sped
across and Mr.. Upton took the rod
from the fisherman and sent the
sinking boat ashore. He was just in
time for the water was up to the
seats and was pouring in from hole
in the boats bottom.
The woman in the party was deep
Nv grateful for the assistance render

two and n half miles to their auto

SO said the talking Studebaker to
a young lady who entered the sales
room of the Waterville Motor Co.
Monday night and ignoring her escort
entirely, that fresh car kissed her
four times right in front of several
people.
What did the escort do about this?
Well. what would you do if an auto
mobile kissed your best girl? You
couldn't beat it up so YOU might as
well ignore 1t and that is what he did.
When it comes to being a wise boat
that talking "Studey" has them all
beat. A gentleman came in last night
and as he stepped through the door
Studey said Il Know that mans
name" One of the garage men in
quired what the mans name might
be and Studey replied His name is
Rob Nichols, he works for the An
droscoggin and KennebCc railroad
and if they don't fire him. he will buy
a Studebaker in a short time" Sure
icnoueh the man works for that COM
pany but the name sounds like an
alias.
All sorts of questions both about

other things are pie for "Studey" He

you what you want to know. And
that isn't all. If you can't see he
turns on the lights so you can see
better.
After formal introduction he re-
questcd the reporter to step up in
front where he could sec better. After
extracting promise that his secret
would be kept by the reporter. the
car requested a garage man to lift the
hood. There was the usual apparatus
belonging to an \auto including the

With tinkle. Jingle. a rattle, a
bang, Art Spaulding's Knickerbocker
Six opened the evening to good
sized crowd at the Island Park Dane
ing Pavilion last night. And to make
the evening the more enjoyable to the
many dancing fans there assembled,
Brim Jewett and his famous Three
O'clock Orchestra augmented the
knickerbocker Six. thus making an
entire orchestra comprising, as Art
Spaulding said. twelve of the best
players in the State" 1t was surely
one of the attractions of the season
at Island Park and something worth
going long way to enjoy, as can be
testified by those in attendance last
evening.
A feature Of the Saturday night
dance was the singing of Barney
Google by Jack Kenney, a member
of the Keith Circuit. Mr.. Kenney also
entertained with an excellent rcndi-
ton of one of his own Scotch songs.
