Voting Important

"What is always OF the utmost
importance, if we have the privilege
TO vote, we must inform ourselves
Of the questions at issue, and going
to the ballot box on election day,
there vote"
The president then gave his views
on some of the more important is
sues he felt were before the people
at this time.
1. OF the bonus. he said: "How
poor and cheap and unworthy would
be that attitude which said. You
have offered your life. her is your
dollar. That discharges the debt.
Take it and 60"
2. The Constitution: you have
supported the Constitution and the
flag which is its symbol, not only be-
cause it represents to you the home
land, but because you know it is the
sole source Of American freedom"
3. The courts: You want your
rights protected by the impartial
judicial decisions Of the courts
where you will have a right to be
heard and not be exposed to the ir-
responsible determination Of par
tisan political action.
4-Government ownership: You
want to have your earnings and
your property secure. You want
free and fair opportunity to conduct
your business and make your way
in the world without danger Of be-
ing overcome by a government
monopoly"

he said. "and yet, although 1t may be
in a less degree, the country has
need Of devotion to the same ideals.

following his usual custom Of not
disclosing his mound selection until
game time, would not say definitely
but announced that Art Nehf. for
mer Terre Haute, Ind, player and
one of the best left-hand pitchers
in the game, was ready.
Fans didn't like the weather and
they feared rain, but they didn't
complain. A better Walter Johnson
day could not have been ordered.
1.-THE big train will throw his fast
one right by 'em today" the bugs
jubilated.
1t was not until this morning
when Commissioner Lands, big
boss of baseball. repeated for the
steenth time that the series was
on and that Ban Johnson. president
of the American League, could not
seop the show even with a bunch Of
Marines, that Washington became
satisfied that it wasn't to lose what
the city had waited life time for.
"I'll be at the park in time to see
the boys warm up and l know that
won't be alone. The series is on
and it's going to be a good one,

Senators Favored

The Senators were favorites in
the betting to win the first game.
but betting was slow on the series.
1t was generally believed that Art
Nchf, Hoosier southpaw. would pitch
the first game and Heinie Groh
would not be able to play third base
for the Giants. Manager McGraw
was unwilling to give a statement
about his lineup this morning.
Really don't know what pitcher
will ask to work and can't find out
about Groh until before game time" !"
he said.
I'VE have nothing to be secretive
about" Harris said. "Our boys are
all in fine shape and we don't have
to worry about a lineup"
Bush Is There
George Mcbride, Clyde Milan and
Ownie Bush, three former managers
of the Washington club who failed
to do what young Harris accom-
plished, were among the thousands
Of visitors in the city and they were
roofing for the Senators. They said
that Washington was sure to win
the series because they had more
speed and better spirit than the
Giants.
Club officials said that a crowd of
IS, 900 was certain for today's and
tomorrow's games. We've sold
every seat in the park and we are
quite certain that the tickets will be
used. We could have sold twice as
many if we had place to put the
fans" Clark Griffith, owner of the
club, said.
Headed by President Coolidge,
practically the entire official family
of Washington will occupy the box
sections.
Giants Uncertain
While Washington lineup Is GER
tain, it is not known how the Giants
will play or bat. If Groh plays
third base, he will lead off and Kelly
playing first base, will bat fourth
AS far as is known now the hne-ups

ported weekly from eastern sections Of
the United States, especially in the
size of producers. Out of the ten
wells completed and the eight produc-
ers, five were good for less than 100
barrels of oil. Such wells seem small
when compared with the average COM
plction in the coastal fields of the
past. 1t is to be noticed, however.
that this year has been characterized
so far by comparatively small wells
in the coastal fields. This is due
largely to the fact that much of the
work going on consists Nof working
over and deepening wells that have
already been producing for consider
able time in many instances.
Development work is fairly well dis
tributed over coastal fields, the big
ger fields reporting the most activity.
Hull, Orange and Goose Creek show
a bigger percentage of outfits in oper-
alton than any other fields at the
present time. but there is hardly a
known dome in the entire Texos coast
al area that does not have one or
two rigs running. Tests are going
down in spite of the fact that numer-
GUS dry holes have been drilled on
early all the domes.

GRAVEYARD TEST
AT RANDADO IS
DRILLING. AGAIN
Pippin Believes There Is
Enough Gas to Run
the Rig. -

Laredo, Tex. April 19.-J. ". Pip.
pin resumed drilling in the graveyard
test OH Survey 81 at Randado the
first of the week. At the depth of
400 feet heavy gas pressure was
encountered which Mr.. Pippin be-
lieyes will furnish fuel for drilling
purposes. Accordingly, he has set up
the Keystone rig, which was used to
drill the first test in that territory,
and will make test of the shallow
sand. This test showed consider
able gas last year when it was drilled
to the depth of 1900 feet. Recently
Mr.. Pippin decided to drill deeper and
made test OF the sands found in the
Fresno test which is located on Sur
vey IL and about two miles to the
north. The Keystone rig that Mr..
Pippin is using is one of the an
tiques of the Randado section. 1t is
twenty years old, being first pressed
into service in the diamond fields OF
Murfursburough, Howard county,
Arkansas. The rig is given the
credit of bringing in the Seminole
Pool in Seminole county, Arkansas,
in 1872. In 1917 Mr.. Pippin, accom-
panied by Driller Robinson, VINO is
the owner of the rig, shipped it to
brentwood, Texas. where he openo,
what is known as the BrOwnwool
Oil Field. In 1921 the rig was ship
ped to Jim Hogg county, Texas, where
1t later brought in the first gas wei
i'll that county, which is now known
as the Pippin No. /. The wonder oil
the rig is that it is only a Keystone
No. 3, and drilled to 1000 feet, but
due TO special additions which were
added by Mr.. PiDpin, the capacity OF
the rig is only limited to the capacity
of the operator.
The Homer Tyson No. 1 Palacious
is drilling on a hard rock at the
depth of 1850 feet with considerable
gas showing. This depth correspond.
TO the depth of the second gas sand
that was found in the well drilled
nearby by Tyson last year. Mr.. Ty-
son believes this to be caprock and
expects production beneath.
An important deal was made by the
Weber OIL Company with the Shasta
Oil Company of California, whereby

and to do other development in thai

the operations are to be on co
operative plan. The test being drill
cd by tine ZaData Company on tn,
Thompson ranch. southeast of the Mi
rando Oil Pool, is coring at the deptl
of 200O feet. Production is expected
in the next 80 feet as it was at tht

Of Weber Oil Company.

Miranda City, Tex, April 10.-One
Of the most important deals in the re-
cent oil happenings of this territory
is that between the Shasta Oil Com
pany and the Weber Oil Interests,
whereby the Shasta will enter the de-
velopment of the Weber lease on Las
Animas Dant of the Holbein ranch
in Jim Hogs county. Their first
work will be the completion of the
Weber No. 3 well to a depth of 5000
feet IL oil is not found before that
depth is reached.
They are looking forward to a big
oil pool somewhere in the vicinity Of
the escarpment pools and from recent
Developments il is the conclusion Of
many conservative men that from the
( southeast trend Of the proven area
somewhere in this direction is the
mother pool. The Weber wells which
were lost on account of dropping tools
in the holes, show by their logs that a
| real oil sand was penetrated at n
depth of 3j17 feet. The Weber Oil
Interests have spent considerable
money to bring in field here. These
are reasons enough to cause oil men
