Reports Oil Sure
To Be Found There

That there is oil to be brought in
at the Bowie field within the near
future is the strong belief of w. E.

ley News, published at Bowie, who,
with his wife and children and H.
j. Randall, stopped over in Wins
low yesterday enroute home from
a trip over the loop, coming UP via

that drilling will be resumed again

 The 1926 version of the old Gin derella tale as pictured on the screen is packed with laughs and therefore not such a dry document as its matter-of-fact ancestor. In fact, it is the most consistent comedy vehicle in which Miss Moore has yet appeared.
 The vaudeville bill consisting of five acts is very pleasing. Conn and Albert in their offering Back to School" score several healthy laughs with humor and eccentric dancing. Paul Mall, the Pittsburgh Eskimo, late of the Winter Garden scores a big hit in his songs and comic talks. Stan Hughes and His Girls are very entertaining in their miniature musi- cal comedy offering the Return of Romeo" Tracy and Elwood go on with the merry making of the show and are very successful. Paul Kodak and Sister do some clever balancing stunts that are very we'll appreciated by the audience.

Junked Motor Cars Stop
"Washing" of RiUer Bank
(By Dispatch A. P. wirel

PIERRE, S. D., June 5.-Junked
motor cars are being put to new
use here-that of helping to tame"
the Missouri river.
The big Muddy" has a coy habit
of tearing away large chunks OF
South Dakota farmland abutting the
stream, during the spring rises, and
carrying them downstream sometimes
in 20-acre chunks. The piling of
logs, brush and debris along the
bank has not availed to stop the
channels depredations.
But it has been discovered that the
frames of junked cars, piled one upon
another wherever the channel is cut
ting away the bank, settle so firmly
and are so impervious to the chan
mel stream that they stop the cut
ting away of the bank. Several
score of abandoned automobiles are
serving more effectively than ex-
pensive piling.

Arizona Auto Club Will
Advertise Entire State

PHOENIX, June 5.-New Mexico has
a state publicity board, the least
state legislature having appropriated
work of advertising the agricultural,
climatic, livestock, mineral, timber
and recreation opportunities of the
commonwealth.
Each of the 81 counties of New
Mexico has a sub-organization that
works in conjunction with the state
bureau.
Statistics have been gathered and
neat booklet printed, in which the
advantages offered for each line of
endeavor in each separate county are
set forth in a convincing manner.
The Automobile Club of Arizona
has been advised that the work is
proving very effective, interesting
people from other states in the Ia
tent resources of New Mexico.
Manager Treadwell advocates a
united effort on the part of all the
various civic organization in Arizona
now engaged in advertising the diff
ferent sections of Arizona in sup
porting one central body in con-
centrated campaign that would spread
knowledge of Arizona throughout the
nation.
Such a campaign handled by state
wide organization like the industrial
congress of Arizona, would leave the
local civic organizations free to de-
vote their activities to purely local
affairs and secure better results for
the whole state at less expense than
by the present haphazard method
of every community striving to out
do other sections of the state.

Sun Treatment to Child
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

LONDON, June 5.-Sir Henry Qua
vain has issued warning against
the abuse of sunlight treatment, and
has advised parents to have the ad-
vice of physicians before they sub
nit their children to extended sun
light treatments.
In the opinion of this distinguish
ed doctor there is tendency to
overdo the use of sunlight in the
treatment of weak children, and he
says it may even be fatal if an all
ing child is exposed to the sun for
too long period.
