while the Record editor seemed to
recognize the unwelcome guest
yet our memory was confused until
we received the Lubbock Ava-

Homc People Reach Sand "j
The Home People's bit reached i
oil sand in their Deeplake test j
early this week and interest is in- j
tense among local and out of town j
oil men who have investigated the j
well. Leases are changing hand
rapidly at large prices and the
stock of the company is selling
way above par.
The hole had been straightened
up and put in good shape a week
ago and drilling was started again
The bit had not gone down more j
than four or five feet before it j
brot up indications that an oil
sand had been reached. Investiga-
tion proved that this was true. Be-
fore the sand could be entered with
the bit, trouble developed in con-
nection with the old bit which had
been passed up higher in the hole
and it became necessary to back
up and clear the hole again. This j
was done and Thursday the bit
was sent into the sand to a depth
of about two feet when drilling
was stopped to put the hole in
shape for going into the sand and
testing it out.
At present the well is making a I
strong showing of gas and oil, and
oil men of experience who have
examined samples of the sand
pronounce it to be the genuine j
thing and predict a good produc-j
of it, but we understand now.
Wichita is really entitled to only
$39,126,510 deposits.

A major In the stevedore regiment
employed one of his men to take care
of his horses and do little chores
nround the yard. One day Sum came
Into the major's office, and he was
some agitated man. After he had sa-
luted he exclaimed, "Major, I want to
be relieved from dls hyar job right
now!"
The major asked hjm why he didn't
want the Job any more.
"Major, that thar job ls good enuff,
but 1 just can't seem to get along with
yo' all's wife. Seems every time I
goes down to that thar house she puis
me to doln' all kinds of-chambermaid
work nr.d a-naggln' at me all a t.her
time, too."
Then It was the major's turn. "Sam,
I've been living with that woman for
thirty-odd years now, and If there Is
going to be anyone relieved It's going
to be me."—William Rea Black, U. &

these will make the run from Yoko-
