Wary Wives Don't
Shower Dinner
Bids On CT Gals
By RUTH MILLETT

A Wave officer says that service
women are rarely invited for din
ner in private homes the way serv-
ice men are. That is probably true
but service women shouldn't take
the matter personally.
1t is just the way of women to
enjoy cooking a meal for a man
and fussing over him and making
him comfortable. Women, Of all
ages, get a kick out of that. But
they don't find it in any way satis-
flying to bake a pie and fry a
chicken for another woman.
That is so much true that even
when a woman invites couple for
dinner she usually prepares the ia
vorite meal of the man guest. She
knows that if he likes steaks and
his wife goes into ecstacy over lob
ster, chances are ten to one the
meal will feature steak.
Then, too, there is another rea.
eon for women's not being too anx.
ious to invite service woman for
Sunday dinner. e-
The service woman today is a
glamorous creature. She is as
much strange being as actresses
were in grandma's day. And
chances are she is young.
TOO MUCH COMPETITION
So wives, hating competition as
all women do, are loathe to have
these glamor girls in uniform
around. They are probably a little
afraid that housewife might look
somewhat drab beside. a skirted
sergeant. 80, .-.~.t 49,
If women are slow to invite serv-
ice women into their homes, these

SEEK MORE OIL TRUCK TIRES

WASHINGTON. - The need for
priorities to get tires for petroleum
tank trucks was brought out at the
first meeting of ODT's new tank
truck advisory committee here.
Gavin w. Laurie, manager of auto
motive equipment for Atlantic Re
filming Co., was named chairman of
the committee.
Ninety per cent of the hauling
done by tank truck transporters is
directly connected with the war
effort, going to Army or Navy in
stallations or essential civilian ac-
tivities and industries. Army and
Navy men heard the appeals and
promised aid, but no method of
implementing this aid has been de-
cided upon.

1913 Was Good
1914 Looks Even Better

Until that is done, no royalty
owner will know the profit pos
sibilities of royalties which he
owns.
This is strikingly exemplified
in the Pondera field, in which
productive possibilities of the
Ellis Madison contact seem to
have been pretty well defined,
years ago. Many of our royalties
were purchased southeast of the
main portion of the field, on
geological information which in
Dictated the soundness of such
buying.
Today, owners of this royalty
are benefiting by drilling of A. B.
Cobb's deep test on the Hirsh-
berg farm. This well is almost in
the center of blocks of royalties
held by members of this organi-
cation. The well is nearing the
bottom of the Devonian. Drilling
with rotary equipment, 1t has
cored both oil and gas shows.
What they amount to. won't be
known until drilling ceases, and
tests begin. The well is costing
Cobb about $4,000 and he APP
pears satisfied with results found
so far.
He may soon decide the hole is
deep enough, and begin testing
horizons already penetrated by
the drill.
Below the Devonian lies the
Ordovician. The Ordovician is
the horizon in which is found the
Wilcox sand and other produc-
tive zones in Oklahoma. Cobb
may not drill deeply enough to
test the Ordovician. If he doesn't
someone else will, in the years
to come. For the area near the
Cobb well is definitely ION struc-
ture" and its possibilities will not
be known until drills have tried
out ALL of the possible oil-bear-
ing sediments and source beds
above the granite
Another example of the virtue
of buying ahead of the drill and
on structure Is now being dem
onstrated in the Dry Creek field
When the Ohio Oil Co. brought

consoled by the thought they
owned some royalty which was
definitely ION structure" and
well ahead of the drill. To some
of them, it must have seemed
they were too far. ahead of the
drill.
Then, this year, things began
to happen.
Less than 20 miles from the
Dry Creek field, the fabulous Elk
Basin field came into production,
partly in Montana and partly In
Wyoming. This field is getting
its big wells from the Tensleep
sand, roughly about 1900 feet be
low the Lakota, which Is produc-
tive in Dry Creek.
A few weeks ago, oil men of
the nation were startled when
the Ohio Oil Co. and the Stand
ard of Indiana paid $3.50, 900 for
rs acres of government leases on
the Montana side of Elk Basin
1t was an all-tiIne per-acre high
for prices paid for government
leases.
Things were beginning to hap
pen, but still the developments
didn't seem to mean much to the
holders of that on-structure roy
atty In Dry Greek.
Then, 1t happened.
Overnight, the Ohio made loca-
ton for new well in the Dry
Creek field II was only a short
distance from the tract on which
our members hold royalty. Bet
ter still, 1t was reported this
would be test of the Tensleep
zone.
Without any advance notice,
the Ohio has moved rotary rig
on location and is now drilling
Latest information is that the
well is down about 1000 feet. It
may be a completion in few
weeks. We believe it will pro-
duce from the Tensleep.
If it does, we believe the acre
age on which royalty is held by
our members win soon be drilled
and IN production, and we be
lieve that production may well
be some of the largest ever found
in the state, ON per-acre basis.
These two illustrations have
been cited as almost perfect ex-
amples of what we believe will
soon be happening elsewhere in
the state. Those who bought
ahead of the drill, on competent.
ly mapped structures, appear
coming closer and closer TO being
very well paid for their fore
sight, and their patience.
We don't believe we have a
member whose holdings will not
In some way be advantageously

ments that seem In sight for
1914. To them goes our wishes
for

Just passing into history is a
year which has been of tremen-
dous import to members of this
organization.
Just beginning is a new year
in which events of far greater
import are forecast.
For 20 years, we have adhered
almost rigidly to the practice of
buying royalties ahead of the
drill. These royalties were not
bought on whim.
In sand fields, as at Cut Bank,
where production trend had
been established, royalties were
purchased ahead of development,
in areas which seemed logically
certain to be productive. In these
sand fields, the theory was
proven sound. Royalties pur-
chased ahead of development in
Cut Bank have been some of the
most profitable ever obtained by
members of this organization.
Just as logical but of a far diff
ferent type have been the royal
ties purchased in the vicinity of
wildcats on dozens of state struc-
lures.
None of these royalties were
purchased because of whimS.
They were chosen in accordance
with the best available geological
findings. In dozens of instances,
those who bought them were dis
appointed when test" wells
failed to find oil, or found only
slight showings.
In the past year, two things
have become more and more evil
dent.
First, nearly all of the test"
wells weren't really tests. They
didn't go deep enough. Second,
the "showings" of oil found by
many of these wells were
reached in the years when acidi-
zation was an untried science.
Many of these wells might have
been made producers, had the
shows" they found then been
acidized.
But, the significant fact now
developing Is that the drilling of
b1ASSG S1ld1tOW WGllS naSuL meant
thing to the owners of these
royalties. For, these royalties
weren't purchased just to be
close TO a drilling well. They
were purchased because they
were on structure. The drilling
of these shallow and inconclusive
wells hasn't altered the struc
tural conditions mapped so many
years ago.
The structures are gtill there
and the royalties on them are
just as good as the day they were
purchased. Even more wells are
likely TO be drilled on a majority
of these structures and even the
first of these may not go deer
enough. 1t now seems certain
every real structure eventually
WILL be drilled - REALLY
drilled, to depths which viii tes
every possible OH horizon.
