may be better able to express your
personality in your home.
Regarding competition or compe-
titive estimate, do not by all means
decide on certain plan and call diff.
ferent ones to furnish estimates on
that plan. You are killing your big
gest asset. First, decide ON the ap.
proximate amount, you are going to
spend, make known this amount, then
let different ones show youkthe plans
and materials they can install near
that figure. In this way you are
gaining the advantage Of several de-
signs as well as giving justice to all
concerned.
1T would be impossible for two OF
three decorators to take the same
materials and install them at the
same cost, due to the different ways
of designing and the amount of ma
terials required. Again by placing
your work on q competitive basis in
the same design, each one is using the
design calling for the lowest expense,
or in other words, skimping wherever
it is possible: whereas you might for
the addition of several dollars have
a much more effective finish by leav-
ing the decorator free to express the
best he can for a. given amount.

Big Lake, Tex. March 22.-The
drilling race between the rotary and
cable tools in this section is now on
in earnest with the No. 10 well of
the Big Lake Oil Company down 400
feet. This well is being drilled by
the Wade Drilling Company of Cor

should it be successful several more
rigs of this type will be moved in.
Other wells of the Big Lake Com
pany, being put down with cable tools,
are all reported making fast time,
several of them having passed the
20O0foot depth. As result numer-
Gus competitions are looked for in this
field within the next 30 days.
Work on a number Of the cable tool
wells has been seriously hampcred due
to the necessity of shipping tools to
Ranger and Eastland, for repairs. This
will, however. be overcome it is ex-
pected within the next few weeks as
two well known machine shops are

GETS GOOD WELL
No. I OF Black Panther Making $50
Barrels.

Miranda City, Tex, March e2.-The
Black Panther Petroleum Corporation
brought in its No. last Saturday for
one Of the biggest producers in the
entire district. The depth of the well
is 1894 feet. The well was placed
on the pump this week and it is prob
ably the best pumper in the field to-
day. No official figure has been OBJ
tanned as TO the daily production, but
it is making better than go barrels
of good pipeline oil per day.
The oil stands high in the casing
and could not be swabbed down and
it would flow easily should the head
of gas be sufficient to lift the oil.
This well is directly south of the
Laurel No. 5 about 300 feet. The
Laurel well flowed for a couple Of
weeks after coming in and now flows
by heads through the tubing. The
Black Panther well has equally as big
head of oil as the Laurel well but the
gas is not present in proportion.
This new well places the Black
Panther lease as one of the best pro-
ducing pieces of acreage in the entire
oil district

the Orient railroad, on land owned in
fee by business men of Schulenburg.
A derrick will be erected Immediately
and it is expected that the well will
be spudded in within the next two
weeks. Another test, it is reported,
will be started by this company in
the near future as large amount OF
acreage is controlled by them.
Should this latest test make pro-
Queer it probably viii mean the drill

appears to be situated on large dome.
As a result of this, real estate, it is
expected, will be in demand by spec
