OIL SIGNS
New York Company Leasing
Land, Report Says-TOwn-
ley's Land Fenced in

People in the vicinity Of Arena are
becoming excited at the possibility
of oil being discovered in that vicin-
ity, following the recent boom at Ro-
binson, word received by the Tribune
today states. 1t is said that the
school house well at Arena has traces
of oil and that most of the wells in
that village have too much oil in the
water to be available longer for fam
lily use or for washing.
Springs near Lake Harriet, one half
mile southwest of Arena. are showing
signs of oil, the report states, and
an acid test of water at Wing has de-
termined the presence of crude oil.
Land Being Leased
The Tribune's informant says that
and oil company from New York city
is leasing all available land around
Tuttle, Arena, and Wing, and that
Mr.. Fredeen of Ryder and another
man are on the ground arranging for
the leases.
The only new development at the
TOwnley camp near Robinson is said
to be the construction of 1O-foot
barb wire fence around the property.
1t is reported that Mr.. Townley ex-
poets several carloads of material to
arrive at Robinson almost any day,
after which it is rumored that drill
ing operations will commence.

When Grandpa Steps Out,
He Does A Mean ChQ'PStOn
BY GENE COIN
\EA Service Writer

Newark, N. j., Oct. 3O.--Wcll, sir,
it certainly makes a fellow stop and
wonder what this older generation is
coming to, anyhow.
In the good old days we'd wrap a
hot brick at grandpa's feet, put some
arnica on his back and send him to
bed. Sometimes we'd put a chestnut
in his pocket to make sure he didn't
get rheumatism when the first cold
spell came.
And if he happened to be particu-
larry spry for his 80 years, we'd let
him go down to the corner store for a
wild night at checkers and uomiuoeS.
One can even remember when the
boys sneaked over little cider.
Well, sir, down here in Jersey
there's sights you wouldn't believe.
They've got club called the 100
Year Club" and you've got to be at
least Il grandpa to belong.
And the way they cut up! They
play the ukelele and sing "Red Hot
Mamma and don't go home til way
past 10 o'clock. And the other day
they had an annual reunion and two
of en- up and danced the Charleston,
mighty near as clipper as a tiapper
at a night club.
What's it all about? Well. sir,
this Hundred Year Club is made up
OF grandpas who refuse to get old.
They're going to live to be IA hun
dred if they kill themselves doing it..
A youngstcr of 70 can just get by
the doorkceper, but you really don't
'belong' until you're 80 or more.
One night when only 10 of them
had shown up tor one-Stcp practice,
somebody figured out that the total
ages represented S57 years.
Young Johnnie Decring who is :;
mere 93 and is known as "ukelele
Johnny" shouted out: Gosh, it's
great to be old"
Now, when YOU figure that there's
100 OF them in Il single neighborhood,
the seriousness of the situation be
gins to hit you.
Who ever heard Of old folks being
happy about being 50? Didn't our
mothers teach US to grow old peace
full and graceful like?
Suppose all the grandpas all over
decide to stay young and we young
stcrs keep getting old for our ages
all the timc~-wherc will we end up?
Why, it's got to be so bad that a lot
of them can't remember the words OF
"Sweet Rosie O'Grady" and "Coming
Through the Rye" But turn on "Thc
Granddaddy Blues-."
One of them is Eddie Pierson, who

New York, Oct. 3O.-P)-Mrs. Anne

Papers were filed in West Chester
county more than a month ago and

suit, but that a certified transcript OF
the testimony in her husbands suit
to divorce her and illegitimatizc Guy
Stillman as the son of Fred X. Beau
vais, a French-Canadian Indian guide
will be offered as evidence.
Mrs. Stillman fought her hubsand's
suit by countering that he had mis-
conducted himself with Mrs. Florence
II. Leeds, that her son, Jay Ward
Leeds, was in reality the son of Still
man, and that Mrs. Leeds actually
was Florence Lawlor, an actress. who
