LOCKHART
FIELD
John Hooser Strikes Oil
One Mile South OF /
Proven Area.

BOCKHART. Tex. Oct. 24.-Ths
Lockhart shallow oil field was extend
ed nearly q mile to the south, when
a test. being drilled for John Hooser.
struck pay in the Serpentine at 1900
feet late in the week. Casing is being
set and the well will be drilled in
Sunday or Monday. Present indica-
tons are that it will come up to the
standard Of other wells in production.
Hooser. an operator from Corsicana.
secured a lease on los acres of land
on the Crenshaw tract. two miles
from the discovery well. recently. He
Immediately ordered a test drilled.
The well was sunk in rapid time.
90 FEET IN PAY.
The bit has penetrated only 20
feet of the formation, which is around
200 feet thick in this territory.
The finding Of oil in this section
opens a vast area for development. II
will undoubtedly cause a drilling rush
in the territory between the main
field and the new well.
4 number Of wells have been drilled
along this structure. several Of which
found rich showings and are being
worked on in an attempt to complete
them as producers. Among these ara
the Jordan-Thomas and Harry Lynch
tests. Both of these wells are within
a short distance of the Crenshaw.

COAST Oh TPUT
SWELLED BY
GUSHERS
Rycade Completes Well in
Orange Field for o
5000 Barrels.

As result Of two Big wells com.
pleted last week, production for the
Texas Gulf Coast increased about
1000 barrels during the past seven
days. The total yield for this week
was s9,S95 barrels as compared with
81 $50 barrels a week ago. The in
crease is all due to Orange and Goose
Creek.
At Goose Greek, the Humble Oil and
Refining Company's Gaillard Pennin-
sula No. %, though brought In more
than a week ago, did not show up in
last weeks figures. The we'll made
$500 barrels Of pipe line oil and is
still holding up. It boosted Goose
Creek output from 5000 to $4,000 bar
rels.
The Rycade Oil Corporations State
b.. at Orange, came in making about
5000 barrels but later slowed down to
1000 barrels which it is making now.
Because of this WELL Orange produc-
ton shows 1000 barrels up this week.
IN PROVEN AREA.
Although both these wells are excep-
tionally good ones, they are in old
proven territory and are not likely to
result in much drilling. Their effect
on the total output of the coast is but
temporary and will probably not sus-
tain the present total for more than an
other week, even if it holds up that
long.
In field work there is a very pro-
nouced let up this week. Only six
wells were reported, and of these only
two were of much Importance. Five
of the six, however, were producers.
At Orange. the Orange Petroleum
Company's Chesson Q, one of the best
wells of the week, made 700 barrels
initial flow from 1850 feet. The same
company worked over its State 1-Ci
but got dry hole at 1915 feet.

The Annual Herring Run.

The first run Of March herring. the
big herring that swim deep, has been
reported in the Potomac, and with
the herring have come the vanguard
Of the Spring run OF white perch.
The National Capital is fortunate in
being located by tide water Many
a toothsome delicacy is within easy
transportation distance; many another.
transports itself annually TO Wash
ington's very doors. It is wondered
If the residents of the District Of
Columbia are as thankful as they
ought to be for these annual treats Of
herring, perch. rockfish and shad.
The humble herring is the wheat of
the sea. Whole civilizations have
been founded on it's little silver scales.
With it's appearance or non-appear-
ance peoples have starved or have
prospered. Although essentially a
poor mans fish, Croesus himself could
not with. justice despise a fresh.
caught herring. The almost mole
cular roe of Mrs. Herring, properly
cooked, sauced and garnished, is not
only a substitute for the aristocratic
arrested progeny of Mrs. Shad; it is
an adequate alternate. Perch roe is
just as good. Spiced with a drop of
lemon and washed down with a
draught OF steaming coffee or cool
milk, either is a supper. luncheon or
breakfast dish for an epicure.

The Smithsonian Institution.

Not only the people of America. but
of all the world. owe debt of graft
tude to James Smith.on. the English
scientist who left his estate to the
United States of America for the
founding of an institution for the In
crease and Diffusion Of knowledge"
The contribution made by the Smith
sonian Institution to the scientific and
material progress of the world in the
last fourscore years is incalcuable,
but the time now has come when, If
il is to continue its beneficent activi-
ties, it must be more literally supplied
with funds.
An illustrated article in the maga-
zine section of yesterdays Star de-
velops clearly its helpful function as
an attraction Of the National Capital.
There is widespread misconception
that the Smithsonian is a national in
stitution supported by public funds
AS matter of fact, Congress makes
Institution proper. There have been
placed under general supervision Of
the institution certain Government ac-
tivities, such as the National Museum
the Bureau of American Ethnology.
the National Geological Park, and so
on, but the research and experimental
work OF the institution itself is paid
for out Of the proceeds of its endow.
ment. The original Smithson gift of
slightly more than s534.5o0 has been
supplemented by the Thomas G. Hodg-
kins contribution of $3.50. 900 and other
small gifts, which, with the accumu-
lation of interest, have brought I'D the
total foundation to s1.oS2 sos, which
gives an annual income Of s65,65l.S7.
With the decreased purchasing powers
of the dollar it is growing increasingly
difficult TO carry on the important ac-
tivities already under way, and almost
impossible to undertake new activities
which would be Of inestimable value
to mankind.
There is right now an emergency
need Of an additional $4,000 a year
to carry on vitality important work,
and 1t is the. hope Of the regents of
the institution that the endowment
fund may be steadily increased until
it will produce an annual income of
at least half a million dollars. Reali-
zation of this hope need not neces-
sarily depend solely upon large indi-
vidual contributions. 1t is believed
that with understanding Of the work
Of the institution. of the still more
important part it could be made to
play in the advancement Of civiliza-
ton. many persons Of relatively mod
est means would make gifts or be-
quests which. in the aggregate, would
go far toward enabling the institution
to reach the goal which it is so de-
sirable that it should reach.

tually in the formation of two major
parties to contest for the presidency
in the future remains to be seen. In
the early days of the United States
an effort was made to do without
such partisanship in the election Of
a Chief Executive, but gradually the
party system was built up here, until
now third party which is strong
enough to challenge the two major
parties is rarity. ...@
In yesterdays election there were
cast 2,812,000 votes, or about 50 per
cent Of the total voting strength Of
the nation. This is a rather remark
able showing when compared to the
turnout of the electorate in the United
States on November 4 last, when
about 90 per cent Of the potential
voters cast ballots.
The greatest number of votes was
received yesterday by DIR. Carl Jarres,
the nominee of the Nationalist and
Conservative bourgeois parties. But
the Socialist candidate, Otto Braun,
received 7,7S5.67S votes and former
Chancellor Marx, Centrist candidate,
3,8S3,676 and DR.. Hellpach. Demo.
cratic candidate, 1.565,136. The Com
munists, the returns show, lost some
of the strength which they showed at
the last Reichstag election.
Although there were minor disturb
ances and physical encounters in
some places, the election passed off
comparatively quietly. according to
the press reports. Former Kaiser
Wilhelm received four votes-a COM
mentary on conditions in Germany,
indeed.
