Refining Company has announced that
it will likely drill in its No. Z well on
Saturday. This well has casing set in
cement at a depth of 1045 feet and
will bring in the well from the same
sand that was picked up in the dis.
covery web of the field at depth OF
1051 feet.
This well is an offset to the north
and east of the No. 6 dep test in which
well the discovery sand was cored
from 1862 feet to 1911 feet. 1t is the
opinion of oil men that $50 barrel
we'll should be brought in from this
sand. The discovery well came in
making around "a barrels of oil from
two feet of sand as drilling was stop
ped in the pay.

Brief Bits of
Oil Field News

After making an extended tril
through the different oil fields Of
Texas and Arkansas, NJ. d. Bryant
well known operator, has returned to
Luling. From the early days of the
Luling field, Mr.. Bryant has been
one of the most active operators. After
his tour Of the many fields he is Of
the opinion that Luling has the great
est activity. All along the line, be
had many operators asking for inform
alton and many of them plan coming

the rig and derrick builder, is hauling
materials to this lease and will begin
building a derrick at once. Other cOul-
panies are blocking up leases between
this section and the main field and it
seems certain that this section will
come in for big play.
Wearing the smile of the successful
operator, w. j.. Brown, pioneer Lul
ing operator, is meeting with cordial
reception among the oil men these
days. His well on his lease near the
Merriwether tract lis flowing several
hundred barrels of pipe line oil these

a good pay off for the owner.

GULF PIPE LINE co.
REDUCES PRICE OF
CRUDE 20 CENTS
New Price at Tulsa Ranges
From 80 Cents for 28
Gravity to So for III.

Tulsa. Okla, Sept. 15.-The Gull
Pipe Line company, effective Septem.
Der u, reduced the posted price OF
Mid-Continent crude oil at the wells
20 cents a barrel on all grades. New
prices range from 80 cents for oil be-
low % gravity to $500 a barrel for
that above Al gravity. This is from 10
cents TO 40 cents higher than the new
schedule adopted by Magnolia Petrol
cum company September /, which
with the exception of the Texas CON-
pany and the Humble Oil & Refining
company has not been met by the
larger purchasing agencies. None of
the major buying companies met the
Cuffs reduction on the date it was
made effective but will probably do so
later. Prairie Oil & Gas Co. and Sin
clair Crude Oil Purchasing company,
major buyers in the Mid-Continent.
had not changed their price schedule
since early in May but are expected to
make some announcement in the next
few days.
Reports are gaining credence here
that retirement of J. Z. O'Neil as
president of the Prairie Oil & Gas
company was brought. about as result
of disagreement over crude price pol
icy to be followed but officials OF the
company stoutly deny this. Mr.. O'Neil
retired September II on account of i'll
health and on advice of his physician
according TO announcement by the
company. 1t was generally known that
he had not been in the best of health
for some time but the announcement
coming at n significant time when oil
men were wondering what action the
Prairie would take on crude prices
caused considerable surprise. Tulsa oil
authorities in close touch with the af-
fairs of the Prairie Oil & Gas COM
pany are inclined to believe that the
crude oil situation had something to
do with the announced retirement Of
Mr.. O'Neil in spite of the fact that
it was also stated that his retirement
would not cause any change in the
policy Of the company.

When Danny Meadow Mouse poked
his head into his snug home in the

Nanny Meadow Mouse wasn't there.
But he had hardly had time to realize
how disappointed he really was when
he heard the rustling Of little feet

Now, of course, Nanny had expected

BY this time Nanny had backed

When he poked his head outside
Nanny had her first real good look

Pressed Beef.

This is an excellent way to use the
tough parts of shank or neck piece
of beef that are rich in gelatine and
nutriment, but are seldom properly
appreciated. Cook the meat in slight
ly salted water until il is ready to
drop from the bones and until the
liquor has been reduced so that it
will jelly readily when cold. Then
separate the meat from the bones and
the gristle, chop it. but not too fine,
and place il in fiat pan. If the
liquor is very fat, skim IL and. if nee
essary. boil it down to make sure
that il jellies. Then add it to the
chopped beef Season the mixture
with salt and pepper and press it
level with spoon. When it is solid,
cut it as il is needed into slices half
an inch thick. The flavor may be
varied by the addition of little
vine gar. parsley, onion or tomato
