This evident lack of efficiency must

late last week by Don B. Adams, vet
Gran oil man of Minneapolis, MINI.
Mr.. Adams spent last week in Laredo

his time looking over his large hold
ings.
The Tribe grant is located west Of
the Miranda discovery field and north
west of the Jennings gas fields. Many
biologists have passed favorable COM
ment on the upper end Of this grant
and following this advice Mr.. Adams
decided while here that he would drill
well.

tirely yours.
And when you build, be sure to
investigate the materials of which it
is constructed, that they may endure
and preserve the value of your house
and your hard earned savings, so that
if you should ever find it necessary
to sell you can realize its true worth.
1t would be tragedy to find, say
after ten or fifteen years, that depre-
citation had taken n heavy toll on your
years of effort. That is why the house
with masonry walls always looks best
on the balance sheet. And if you add 70

and the monthly payments until the

be shown that the brick house has cost
