NEW PIPE Line LAID
FOR kelvin GAS

The New Era Oil and Gas COM
pany, under their manager Frank
Nicholson, have completed laying
their four inch mains into Kevin
this week. This is, indeed, a
great boost for Kevin as we will
not have to be bothered anymore
for the lack Of gas, heretofore it
has been found that the small
pipe used was not sufficient to
supply the amount of gas needed.
The laying Of the four inch
will assure an adequate supply
Of gas for all, and will be the
means of bringing many people
to Kevin to reside where they
will be assured of plenty of heat
to keep them warm during the
months.

TELLIT TO THEM

Next time you hear a citizen
Of Kevin yelping about typo
graphical error in his home paper
or in any other paper. just hand
him these few figures to stop his
tongue.
The Story Brothers do not need
any introduction as they both are
well and favorably known and
are very capable of taking up the
work where Mr.. Erik has left
off, they are experiedced in every
way, and can always be relied
upon when it comes to building
rigs.
In an ordinary column there
are 10000 pieces of type; there
are seven possible wrong posit-
ions for each letter; there are
10000 chances TO make an error,
and millions of possible transpo-
sitions. In this one sentence, To
be or not to be- by transpositions
alone, it has been figured out, o.
759,033 errors can b e made.
Newspaper people, from the dew
il up to the boss, and other high
officials, are merely human, and
liable to err. Don't go nosing
around for errors. but read for
the information you can get and
the good you can get. You'll find
errors enough in your daily walk
through life without having to
hunt for them in a newspaper.

Pratt Leaving
For Wyoming

Lloyd Pratt. who has held the
position as field superintendent
for the Montana-G Giant at this
place for the past year or so will
leave today for Washington for
for few days visit with rela-
tives and friends before going to
Wyoming to look after Giant op-
erations in the Salt Creek field.
Mr.. Pratt has made many friends
here in Kevin who greatly regret
his departure, he has been a va
liable man for his company and
has kept the confidence of his
customers, and, in fact, Mr.. Pratt
is responsible to certain extent
for the splendid business the
company is enjoying here at the
present time.
George Engle who has been
employed by the Shoshone COM
pany has been selected to fill the
vacancy made by Mr.. Pratt, and
this is indeed boost for Mr..
Engle as this position is a re-
sponsible one and calls for man
with energy and ability.

AS TO SUCKERS"

There isn't a mani in Kevin who
wouldn't resent being called a
sucker, and yet there are few a.
mong US who are not. Mark
Twain wrote his own life story,
and in it he admitted that he was
a sucker to the extent Of putting
$3.50, 900 of his earnings into a
typesetting machine that would
MT set type. But another man
started in on the same thing and
built a successful one, so the
whole world profted thru Mark
Twain's experience as a sucker.
Henry Ford let a neighbor have
$5, 900 worth Of stock when he
first started his auto plant and
few years ago that neighbor sold
his stock for $21, 100000. AS we
look back all Of us can see instan
ces wherein we could have made
good money, big money, but for
some sucker step we took in the
wrong direction. But it's no dis
grace to have been sucker, to
have made mistake. The dis
grace consists in being sucker
all of the time, in not profting
by the mistakes we did make.

WEARING DIAMONDS

One Kansas editor remarked a
few weeks ago that another big
wheat crop in Kansas with prices
ranging over dollar will put
diamond pants buttons on Kansas
farmers. That remark came in
February, when wheat topped all
records since 1868, and equalled
the war prices obtained from 1916
to 1921. Huge fortunes were
made by spectators last month,
but the average citizen is wise
enough to know that the men who
actually grew the wheat did not
share to any great extent. And
on top of that, there are a good
many who realize that this price
was for last years wheat and
three-fourths of the farmers in
Kansas marketed their grain last
November when the price was
right around a dollar, instead of
81, as it was in February. Just
how much of the latter profit
went to, Kansas farmers is un-
known, but they probably know,
along with farmers Of other Sec
tions Of the country, that when
there are any diamond pants
buttons worn it will be the spec
ulators in the Chicago wheat pit
that wear them.

GOES
WILD WHEN

Terrific Pressure Forces Thous-
onds of Gullons Waste Be-
fore Well is Controlled

There was more excitement
in Kevin yesterday, than there
has been for many months, due
to the Queen City No. 10 going
over the top several times, which
was witnessed by citizens of the
town, from their homes. This
well is about four miles out, but
could be seen real plain. Citizens
we're rushing around telling their
neighbors about the gusher. and
every available car was on its
way out to the we'll in a very
short time. There were over 100
cars at the well during the fore
noon.
The Queen City No. 10 found
producsion in the Ellis sand at
The depth Of 1479 feet, Wednes-
day morning. The small showing
Of oil was encountered at 1477
feet in a break in the Ellis, but
they continued two feet and the
oil filled the casing and went
over the top. The fortunate part
Of it for those working on this
tour as we'll as for the company
IS that the wind was in the east,
as it carried the oil in the direc
ton away from the boiler and
engine, where if the wind had
been in the opposite direction it
would of been a mass Of flames
in an instant, it is very doubtful
that the drillers could Of escaped
the flames. Oil was scattered
over the prairie for half a mile
md lake of oil in the coulee.
This we'll is estimated at 5000
barrels flush production accord
