There is one way In which wild
crow may be shaken out of his accus-
toned wary composure or may be re-
duced even to state of hysteria, says
Henry G. Cary in Bird Lore.
Procure a stuffed owl, preferably
one Of the largest species, like the
great horned or the barred, and place
It out In the open in the country.
The crows will gather more quickly
than do the vultures when they see
carrion and they will follow each
other, as the vultures are said to do,
90 that the whole crow population for
miles around viii soon be pouring out
the Walls Of its wrath on the poor
stuffed head with its yellow glass
eyes.
The crows have an instructive fear
Of the owl tribe, and hence they unite
in an attempt to drive the stuffed owl,
which they suppose to be alive, away
from their own neighborhood.
This method of decoying crows
seems to work best In the nesting
season. Its efficacy may be due to the
owls proving upon old and young
crows In and near the nest at night.
Certainly the habit of nesting and
roosting very near the topmost
branches OF tall trees would seem to
make the crow. more than most birds,
an easy victim Of both hawks and
owls.

"DRy HOLE" kIMsLEY's LUCK
Mortgage About to be Foreciosed as
Prospectors Get Injunction


Muskogee. Ok.-An eighty-acre farm
with five producing oil wells on it and
a 100000 bank account is the gift the
year brings to Mrs. Lottie Hammock,
i widow with seven fatherless child
en-. who three months ago were threat
ened with starvation.
Mrs. Hammoek's husband died some
time ago, leaving her an eighty-acre
farm heavily mortgaged and with poor
improvements on it. 1t was poor land
and hopeless task for a widow with
seven children to make living out Of.
But the mother struggled along with
the wolf bowling closer and closer un-
til three months ago the farm was adj
Yertised for sale under a mortgage
foreclosure. Then humanity inter
Vened.
p. w. Kimbley. an oil man, who in
his day had heard adversely beating
upon his door like an automatic riveter
heard about the widows foreclosure.
Kimbley at the same time was in hard
luck. He had been following the for
tunes Of the oil field in Oklohoma for
several years and his bad luck had be-
come so proverbiai that oil men had
come to know him IS Dry Hole" Kim
bley.
Every oil well that he drilled was
not a well at all-it was a dry hole.
So many failures had he registered
that oil men came to look npon him
as a hoodoo and would not let him in
on an oil proposition if they could help
it, and consequently his credit was at
lowest ebb.
But Kimbley gathered together lit
tie group OF prosperous oil men and
asked them to go IN on deal to put
an oil well down on the widows land
and keep her out of the Poorhouse if
Providence smiled and to take the
loss Of the well themselves if il came
In "duster,"
The oil men admired the nerve. the
spirit and the gambling chance that
Kimbley asked them to take. They
drilled the we'll 1t was wildcat and
a long shot even as a gamble. But the
long shot sometimes wins. and this
was the time.
The drill in wildcat territory found
a new and wonderfully rich oil and
opened up what Is now known as the
Booch sand field, northeast of Morris.
There are now five producing oil wells
on the eighty acres. They have made
Mrs. Hammock rich and they are max
ing many other people in that terri
tory rich also.
When the oil men decided to drill a
well for the widow they first had to
get an Injunction from the court to re-
strain the foreclosure of the mortgage
to give them time to drill. Now the
mortgage has been paid off. Mrs. Ham.
mock presented with clear title to
the land and the same day that her
benefactors turned oyer the deed to
her they showed 100000 to her credit
from oil sold.
Kimbley's luck also turned. After
his long record of dry hole and ez-
pensive failures he got pay streak
in the Norris field and his dry holes
became gushers and he Is now clinb-
ing IN into the millionaire clasas
