Seamy Side of Presidency.
Mr.. Harding had begun to see the
seamy side of the presidency, the
constant fighting and pickering, the
jealousies and the intrigues that con-
stantly go on around chief execu-
tive. He had had many disappoint-
ments in the White House. The SEN

years. having spoken their language
and understood their attitude toward
the larger issues of the day, Mr..
Harding thought the Senate was of a
mind TO go along with him.
But when he was willing, the Senate
became recalcitrant. 1t would not
see things in the same light that he
saw them. 1t would not "play BALI
or give him the team work he so much
desired.
His own great respect for the office
was not lessened one whit. He was
saddcned that others did not have the
same respect; he was disillusioned in
many ways.
But, chief, you may have to run

5OOO-BARREL WELL
But Internati0nal's CacalilaO No. %
Is disappointment

TampicO, Mexico. Aug. 11.-The IN
ternational Petroleum company COM
pleted its Tanchicuin No. s last week
for an estimated flow of 5000 barrels
at depth of 21S5 feet.
The company's stripper Cacalilac
No. %. which was drilled n week
ago, is an offset of Cacalilao Nos. >
and 10 and is not banked on much
as a producer.
The well is across the river from
the hacienda of Halcon where the East
Coast Oil company has string Of
wells and some producers. However,
the nearest producer to Tanchicuin
No. 8 is approximately 30 kilometers.
Biologists assert that the site of
the new producer is either on or To-
Gated near the extension of the Hall
con hacienda structure. With this
belief the International will drill at
least six more wells in the. vicinity
of the new producer.
A well to be known as Tanchicuin
No. Z will be drilled 60 meters to the
northeast of No. 8 and n well to be
known as Tanchicuin No. s will be
drilled the same distance to the south
cast of No. 8. The company is al
ready drilling Tanchicuin No. &
which is already down more than 1900
feet. The actual gauge on Tanchicuin
No. 5, before it was closed in last
week. showed it TO be flowing 5000
barrels. The well is close to the Pa
nuco river and the company will be
able to pipe the oil down the short
distance to the river from there on
by barge.
