There Is Nothing
A land deal involving the purchase
of the lease on the E. Hawes tract
of more than 100 acres to the north-
west of the Texas Company’s Taylor
No. 3 producer off Boling Dome,
Wharton County, by the Humble Oil
and Refining Company from E. Hawes
was reported from Wharton Tuesday.
Consideration was given at $350,000.
According to the report, $100,000
was paid in cash; another $100,000 io
be paid January 10, and the remain-
ing $150,000 is to be paid in oil when
production is obtained on the land.
Information concerning the deal was
not given out by Humble officials.
The E. Hawes tract is in two
blocks, one of 74 acres and the other
of approximately 30 acres. The tract
lies about 1-4 of a mile northwest of
the new 10,000-barrel flush well of
the Texas Company, which was com-
pleted December 13.
The deal is reported to have been
closed Monday of this week.
The acquiring of the E. Hawes tract
by Humble brings the total acreage in
the immediate vicinity of the new high
gravity producer in the hands of large
companies. The Texas Company, At-
lantic Oil Producing Company, Sun,
Sinclair, Vacuum and the Humble
Company now have acreage near the
producer.
Three locations have been made for
new tests to begin in the next few
weeks near the producer.

$92,0000 of this year’s receipts were
given for the express purpose of re-

previous 12 months. In addition to
the total receipts to be distributed
this year, Dr. Morris W. Ehnes, New
York City, treasurer, reported that
$271,866 has been paid from the board
treasury on the outstanding debt of
the board of foreign missions.
The expenditure of funds on the
foreign mission fields last year in-
cluded the following items: To Chi-
na, $673,000; to Malaysia, the Philip-
pines, Borneo, Java and Sumatra,
$139,000; to India, $726,000; to Africa,
(Central and Southern), $186,000; to
Mexico and South America, $337,000;
to 16 countries in Europe and to
North Africa, $381,000.
The income of board of foreign mis-
sions necessitates another cut in ap-
propriation to the field, this time 5
per cent. Appropriation of board of
home mission and church extension
remains same as last year.

BOSTON, Dec. 30. — Thirty-one
years ago a 14-year-old apprentice
mechanic in the Dewpew, N. Y., shops
of the New York Central Railroad
told a little group of grease-smeared
companions that when he made a mil-
lion dollars he would retire. They
laughed and told him that with his 10
cents an hour salary he never need to
work over his million—or retirement.
But on New Year’s Day that appren-
tice mechanic will retire. He is Jos-
eph S. Donovan, president and treas-
urer of the Donovan Motor Car Com-
pany of Boston, an automobile dis-
tributing agency. He has made his
million and intends to fulfill his
promise.
The promise was prompted by the
sight of an old man feebly making
his way to an office where he hoped
to amass more millions. He already
had one million and Donovan resolv-
ed that that was enough for any man.
The apprentice mechanic determined
he would never allow himself to be-
come such a spectacle. He
wanted to be seen tottering
greater wealth in his old age.
On New Year’s formal announce-
ment of his retirement as head of his
company will be made at a dinner of
the employes. After that he intends
to devote himself to play, which in
all probability will mean winter golf
in Florida and idle summers along
the New England coast, and now and
then a hunting expedition or a trip
abroad thrown in.
Beginning work at the age of 11,
Donovan was in turn, a drug store
clerk, railroad car tink, soldier, auto-
mobile mechanic, second hand motor
car dealer, and sub-agency head. In
1912 he assumed control of the agency
which today bears his name and from
which he drew his million.

The meeting will take up the ques-
tion of reducing the planting to eight
acres to the plow, it was said, and of
using the acreage left free in this way
for food products.
“Any farming policy that entails
such enormous loss to the growers of
a staple money crop is nothing short

ment read.

He added that if this country were

Under the guaranty fund system^,
the depositors are paid all non-interest

the bank furnishes bond equal to that
