ALFORD BROS. MOTOR CO.
LARGEST AND FINEST FORD SERVICE
The Moto-Sway method of greasing consists of taking the
weight of the body of your automobile off of the springs,
shackles and king pins, then swaying the car from side to
side, temporarily re-arching the springs, freeing every froz-
en shackle—loosening up squeaky springs and making it
possible to get at the difficult parts that need lubrication.

The Cleveland-New York game
in the American was watched with
interest because seven of the eight
gambs won by the Indians have
been from second division teams.
The only game Cleveland took
from a pennant contender was the
second one of the season against j,
the Detroit Tigers. Since, the In- ■
dians have won five from the last-
place St. Louis and two from Chi-
cago, in sixth place
The Yankees, only a game and
a half out of first place, won two
from the hard-hitting Boston Red
Sox, four from the Washington
Senators, in fifth place, and one
from the Philadelphia Athletics. It
is felt that the three-game series
with the Yankees will furnish a
good indicator as to whether Steve
O’Neill’s band will be a strong
pennant contender.

Oil in the Shipman wildcat?
As crowds gather again to
crane up at the rickety derrick
the query often brings a chuckle.
Always it brings a good story.
The story is one of preseverance,
persistence, courage, determina-
tion, pluck and all of Horatio Al-
ger’s other words.
It is the story of the well that
courage drilled.
Four years ago a rock's chunk
from the present derrick J. W.
Shipman was “firin’ the pots" for
a drilling rig. "The company
drilling this well was a promo-
tion outfit,” Shipman claims to-
day, “They were not really looking
for oil.”
The hole went down below 3000
feet when a drill stem was lost
and the well abandoned. Another
was drilled near the same loca-
tion and tested at 3,225.
“I was present," Shipman says,

the origins location and drilling
began anew
But don't think Shipman's ob-
stacles wer< over. . In the weary
months sine he had to continue
his trudging his pot scraping. Of
his original block of 2,900 acres
he has tradd practically all for
equipment, truck transportation
and a thouand other services
Now he has tactically no acreage
left for himalf.
"If I do srike oil, I’ll have to
hitchhike baa to town," Shipman
comments drjy.
Log of deration Given
Since last .eptember when he
started on tie last location he
has had obtacle on obstacle.
Here’s a log n the well for two
weeks:
"Drilling w« halted . . . when
the cracked cjinder head on the
rotary engine mapped . . .
"In the botom of the hole is
a collapsed w.ipstock, a broken
core barrel . . I.
"Drilling wai suspended after
the water suppy was exhausted. .
"The owner of the borrowed
drill stem sudd^ly seht for it to-
day. It is rucessary to shut
down while it 11 returned . . .
Now it appees that the long
months of persevering on the part
of J. W. Shlpmji are nearing a
climax.
"It is true thit I have drilled
the well without a dollar,” says
"Shorty” Shipmm, "But in it I
have sunk my ©-acre farm and
two years of had labor.”
Whatever you nay comment on
the Shipman wildet you must say
this about its prqnoter.
"He has lots o> guts.”

'IheNewett Sensation!
Cars Lubricated
UNDER’ACTUAL ROAD CONDITIONS
Bi
Car owners wishing to obtain
the best mileage from their tires
should not permit their pressure
to deviate more than three pounds
from that recommended by the
manufacturer.
"And I saw indications of six feet
of sand.”
Never Forgot
The well, nevertheless, was
abandoned and “Shorty" Shipman
went to O! lahoma to fire other
boilers, but often as his hand was
on the steam ,valve his thoughts
were on what he had seen four
miles northeast of Henderson,
Texas.
Circumstances nudged "Shorty"
Shipman to a 60-acre farm in Ar-
kansas. One day, however, he de-
cided to take circumstance in
hand.
"I’m going back to Henderson,
Texas and find oil,” he told him-
self.
More than a year and a half
ago, Shipman arrived in Hender-
son. For his capital he had a few
cents less than a dollar and lots
of faith.
The faith was catching. The
Citizens National Bank first gave
him the mineral rights on 125

won Monday's eicour.ter behind
Dutch Rithman’s steady hurling
by score of 10-3.
The Oilers jumped on Veteran
Sarge Connaly, veteran of many
big league pitchiig battles, early
in the game an| continued the
onslaught against Boyles who re-
lieved Sarge in the fifth. All
told the Oilers socked out 10
safeties includinf a homer by
Rithman with a nan on the base
paths. Cortinas, DeJonghe and
Ratliff led the Oilers’ attack with
two bingles each.
Rithman pitched fine ball for
the Oilers, giving up but five
hits. He was never in serious
trouble until he got careless late
in the game and allowed a couple
of hits that, coupled . with
DeJonghe's error in left field, let
the Braves have two of their tal-
lies.
Henderson started out in dead
earnest and scored a pair of runs
in the first frame and came back
in the second stanza to add three
more and ice the game. Two of
these runs came in when Rithman
socked his homer—the first Oil-
er to garner a round trip this
season.

acres where he wanted to drill.
Then he solicited neighboring
landowners and was given oil
rights to approximately 2,900
acres more.
All he needed then was a 112
foot derrick, a drilling rig, labor,
machinery, heavy timbers and
other essentials in drilling an oil
well which are not sold in the
five-and-ten.
How "Shorty" Shipman obtained
all these would make a volume in
itself. Perhaps you have seen
"Shorty” yourself tramping over
the oil field highways piecing to-
gether the equipment for the well
Sometimes he caught a ride. Often
he trudged eight or ten miles.
Finally the last bit of tackle
was on the well.
Slow Progress
The location originally selected
was on top of a hill. But the far-
mer who owned the land had a
watermelon patch there and re-
fused to let the roughnecks
trample his watermelon crop. So
the well was started 300 fem
away. Drilling was painfully slow.
At 2.700 feet the drill stem twist-
ed off and the well was doomed.
By that time the watermelons
had all been plucked, so the crew
skidded the derrick up the hill to
