Houston Oil Co.
To Drill Test On
bennett Leases
Especial to The Herald)

AAf~N w ANAaA4N
KINGSVILLE, June 80. - The
Houston Oil company has made its
location for the first well to be drill
ed by that company on the leases in
which it acquired a half interest by
purchase from the old Kleberg Coun-
ty Oil and Gas company, and a rig
IS being moved from the Duval coun-
~ field for the sinking of a deep
test on lot 10 in block 80, owned b.
II. c. and Jesse bennett.
The location is near the conflu-
ence Of the Santa Gertrudis and San
Fernando Creeks, Is feet from the
south line and 100 feet from the
west line of the lease. It will offset
the Texas company lease on lot 9
and the Humble's on lot II, both In
the same block.
For the reason that these two
companies, as we'll as the Roxana
and the Gulf, have close-in holdings.
and from the fact that land owners
have held considerable acreage I'M
leased. the Houston Oil company
will doubtless be watched with IN
terest BY independent and by big
company scouts.
Students Of the local oil field
structure expect good production in
this well. basing their predictions
on the fact that this is the first test
on the north side OF the structure in
he kingsville field since 1920, when
the Texas Kentucky test was passed
up after showing all signs of being
good for paviuO rroduet5ap
With the entrance of the Houston
company into the local field three Of
the major production companies are
represented in actual drilling opera
tons, the others being the Humble
Oil and Refining company and the
Gulf Production company.

HARLINGEN, June 3O.-A candi-
date for sheriff on one corner Of the
street, another candidate for sheriff
on the next corner, a candidate for
county judge or county attorney on
the next, and just any candidate on
the next-this lis about the picture
gathered from an observation Of
political activity along the streets
of Harlingen or San Benito or La
Feria any Saturday.
Saturday. when the farmers come
in to town. and the votes are run
ming loose about the street. the can
didates seem to flock especially 10
Harlingen and San Benito.
At times not more than twenty
steps apart will be two groups, one
being addressed BY one candidate for
sheriff, the other by another can
didate for sheriff.
The ladies have entered the cam
pagn, and are frequent visitors in
this end Of the Valley, and are work
ing actively as the time for the cleo.
ton draws near.
Interest in county politics dwin-
died to practically nothing during the
big show at Houston, but as soon as
that was safely concluded. .he cam
paign became hotter than ever.
Although the campaign this year
may lack the flow of oratory and de-
%nunciation from the stump which
has characterized some election com
bats in the past. 1t IL more widely
spread than usual. and especially in
the race for sheriff.

 "WHAT PRICE GLORY" IS NOW AT COLISEUM

What Price Glory" the merry Theatre, is screen play without a villain. Another novel feature of it is that you can use your own discretion in picking the hero. Nobody will dispute that the fiery Charmaine, played by Dolores Del Rio, is a more than adequate heroine, and that Pris yates Kiper and Lipinsky supply all the comedy necessary. s.s
 But who's the hero? Is it Cap tain Flagg, the hard-boiled Ma rine who uses profanity by prefer ence, gets .glorieusly drunk at Bar-leDuc and leads his men into battle as light-heartedly as though he were going on picnic? Or is it Sergeant Quirt, the rough and clustering leatherneck, who knows all the card tricks in the deck, steals his superior officers sweethearts when he gets A CHdHtC anu tdhto bic NNA eso c matter of course?
 Victor McLaglen plays the first and critics say it's his best per formance yet, while Edmund Lowe is "the shifty baby" of the second part, and so cunningly did '.au- renee Stallings, one time captain in the Marines himself. and Max well Anderson construct the play that even on the stage the audi ence could choose it's own hero.
 In making the film, Raoul Walsh resolutely stuck to the same idea. There wasn't going to be any villain in his scheme of things, and if a hero or heroes were necessary they wouldn't be of the mold commonly visible upon the screen. And so the audience can take it's choice of the big hearted, boiiibastic Flagg, and the hand. some, interruptions Quirt. But whichever is the hero, they have one thing in common-they are both real men.
