Figure up the time it would take
you to become a good machinist—
and what it would cost you for board
and clothes and all the other expenses
while you were learning.
If you could get paid while learning—
have money in your pocket at the end
of every month—and no
bills to settle—wouldn't you
call that a good job ?
Well, that's the kind of a
job the Army offers you.
You earn a good living
and while you're earning a
good living you learn to be
a skilled man in one of a
hundred trades.
There are few better jobs
open these days.

Largest for the Week Is Given
Production of About 225
Barrels.
Special Telegram to Tlie Express.
WICHITA FALLS. Tex., Oct. 31.—Sev-
enteen producing wells, eight "dusters" aud
two gassers represent the net result of
drilling operations in the Wichita County
oil territory during the last week. None
of the new wells have yielded exceptional-
ly large production, but. the net capacity
is somewhat. larger than the average for
one week.
The biggest production reported from
all of the completions was the Langford.
Stale v and Chenault Company, which
brought, its No. 10 Ramming well in the
Burkburnett field. This well is given *
production of 2-5 barrels from a 1,725-
foot sand. The Texhoma Oil and Refining
Company completed the second largest pro-
ducer, bringing in their Kemp and Kemp-
tier well in block 17 of the Iowa Park field.
A yield of 125 barrels is being obtained
from a depth of 1,700 feet.
Three wells, all producing less than 75
barrels, were reported as being completed
in the northwest extension field.
In the Burkburnett district two pro-
ducers were brought in, the No. 4 Ram-
mint;. which is yielding 85 barrels from
1,7C»r» feet, and the No. 5 Ramming, at 1,740
feet, producing the same amount of No. 4.
VALLEY LEGION POSTS
OPPOSED TO JAPANESE
SPANIARDS FAIL TO KEEP
APPOINTMENTS ON TIME
By Associated Press.
MADRID, Oct. 31.—Foreign visitors after
a short stay in Madrid begin to doubt
whether Spaniards are able to tell the
time. There are scores of public clocks
in government buildings and on church
towers ami nearly every Spaniard carries
a watch, which he often looks at, but
apparently these do not mean anything
to the average citizen.
An invitation to a meal at a certain hour
means that, the host or the guest will
appear half an hour or more late. An
appointment for a fixed time and place
nearly always finds both parties absent
at the hour named. An Interview ar-
ranged with an official involves usually
a wait of an hour in the ante room. The
tailor will not be ready to try on your
suit until at least two days after he has
promised to do so. Trains rarely start
and never arrive at the scheduled hour.
These are some few indications of the
little interest Spaniards show in the time.
It is either morning, noon, evening or
night with Spaniards generally- ami of
course the eternal inanana which never
comes. The exact hour is nothing to
them: yet thousands of them will as-
semble on the Puerta del Sol to watch I he
fall of the globe on the Ministry of the
Interior at noon every day.

PARIS HOTEL KEEPERS FAIL
IN TOURIST EXPECTATIONS
Only 200,000 Instead of Million Visit
French Capital During Pres-
ent Year.
By Associated Press.
PARIS, Oct. 3L—The enthusiastically
predicted 1,000.000 American tourists did
not come to France this year, but the
hotel keepers, their association officials j
say, are satisfied.
Instead there were on record 200,000 po- j
lice permits issued to tourists intending 1
to remain more than 15 days. Among these I
South America sent the greater number, I
with the United States a good second and ;
other countries trailing.
One ill wind that blew well in France
was the high exchange rate of the Swiss
l'ranc, so that travelers gave the prefer-
ence to this country, where their money
went about twice as far as in the Alps.
