OIL STOCK IS
HOW ALL PLACED
Secretary Guy K. I'axton of tlw I
Snyder Oil Association said Tuesday!
that nil of the $20000 or stock has J
been sold. About $12000 is held by
home people and the balance has
been taken by Fort Worth and Dal-1
las people. A representative of thei
Association left Tuesday for the c;i.s1 I
to make u drilling contract. He will
confer with several drilling concerns
and will secure a good outfit. It Is
expected to have the rig up mid a'
work In very few weeks.

Mr. Kemp lON III Post.
Mr. Z. D. Kemp who has been our
agricultural agent for two ur threp
years has goue from us to become
demonstration agent for Gar.a coun-
ty. Our court considered the matter
of re-employing Mr. Kemp but ow
ing to the scarcity of funds they have
hesitated iitid Mr. Kemp accepted the
proposition irom Garza. We may yet
take steps to employ an aegnt. The
court appreciates the value of a good
well qualified artjve agricultural
agent but they feel it their duty to
'KUarj u finances of the county
I
Slr. Kemp has proen a good man

tive In assisting the people In Judrci-

built up a lively farming and stock
raising interest among the boys and
has organized a number oP farm
clubs ami pig clubs In the county
and it is generally felt that his ser-

PEACE TREATY
The peace treaty was signed at
Versailles France last Saturday af-

treaty between Germany and France
was signed in 1871. On the occasion
Germany was the victor and gloated
over the humiliation and ruin of
France. On this last occasion the

about enough humility for the pur-
pose of gaining a point.
Those delegates while slgnisg
made these statements:
"We are signing without mental
reservation. What we are signing wil'
be curried out. The German people
will use every means to meet the
terms.
"We believe the Kntentu w

"We believe the F.ntt nto will not

'The Central Government will not
ussist in any attack on Poland.
"Germany will make every effort
to prove herself worthy to enter the
League of Nations."
That Bounds good enough like real

who have noted German treachery.
will understand me vaiue oi u..
pressions.
With all that the allied powers
can hold the Hun to his agreement
by constant vigilance and fair treat-
ment and only that.
The terms have been made easier
for Gt-rmany through constant Inslst-
ance of President Wilson who pur-
posed from the start to establish
Just honorable and fair conditions
and to bring to all nations a Just
and righteous system of l'ving. His
ideal has always been a settlement
of social political and economical
conditions in the world us will com-
port with the teachings of the man of
Galilee.
After the treaty had been signed
President Wilson cabled to Washing-
ton the following message to the
American people.
"Iv fellow countrymen: The treaty
of peace has been signed. If it Is rati
fied ad acted upon In full and sin-
cere execution of its terms it will
furnish the charter for a new order
of affairs in the world. It is a severe

And it Is much more than a treaty
of peace with Germany. It liberates
great peoples who have never before
been able to find the way to liberty.
It ends once for all. an old and in-
tolerable order under which small
groups of selfish men could use the
peoples of great empires to sorv-
their ambition for power and do-
'eT i minion. It associates the free govern-
th0 inents of the world In a permanent

later three youny Allows were ar-

has taken a peculiar turn. One of
the accused is a mere boy. He Is or

up the damage. They went over the
route traveled by the boys and paid

Criminal charges were not filed

At the beautiful home of the
bride's parents last Saturday after-
noon while the relatives and a few
of the many friends of the young
couple looked on the words were
said which made Mr. C. V. Thomp-
son and Miss Manie Wellburn hus-
band ami w ife. They have been sweet
hearts lor several years but when
the war came on Mr. Thompson en-
tered the service and helped to fight
the battles ot his country. Just re
cently he returned and arranged te
consummate the dreams of himself
and bride and build their home not
in theory but in reality.
Very much to our disappointment
the young couple will leave our coun-
ty and live in Sweetwater. We regret
to lose them from our community
and county but wish for them all
the blessings and happiness in our
power to wish.
