ton Carroll.

Bluecats are to meet, the Parks high
school, of near Breckenridge, in a
game here. Although definite ar-
rangements have not been made for
a place to play the season’s contests,
it is probable most of the games will
be staggd at the armory.
The plan of play- this„year is ex-
pected to be similar to that of other
years. The county is to be divided

Banquet Date
For Lions In
Moved Up Day
Date of the annual banquet of
the Lions club has been changed
from Tuesday" night. November 29,
up to Monday night, November 28,
R. R. Browning, chairman of the
entertainment committee announced
today.
The change was made when it
was learned the San Angelo Lions
club band could not be here on the
night originally planned-
Members of the club and their
wives are expected to attend the af-
fair to 6e given at the First Chris-
tian church Monday night at seven
thirty o’clock.
Football Squad
Be Giyen Treat
Young Jack Maddox, 12 year old
son of C. G. Maddox, Humble Refin-
ing Company agent here, is a proud
young man these days.
He and his father have just re-
turned from the Davis Mountains
where both brought down four-point
black-tailed bucks'.
But the youth deserves the most
credit for he killed his deer on the
day before he was twelve years of
age. Last year Jack killed a white
tail buck in Mason county the day
before he was 11 years old.
The father and son were on the
trip almost a week.
Minatra Chosen
Captain of CHS
Football Squad
Jack Minatra, end and one of tee
outstanding players for the,Coleman
high school Bluecats during the past
season, has been chosen captain for
the 1932 season, according to Coach
C. M. Brown.
An innovation in electing captains
at Coleman high school was adopted
this year. Instead of electing one of
the youths to serve for future games,
the youths this year took time about
serving in that capacity and at the
end of tire season elected one of
their members as captain for the
past season.
Minatra made a reputation for
himself at Brown Ranch playing
basketball some time ago. The fol-
lowing year he came to Coleman but
failed to make the squad and then
went to Georgetown high school
where he played some but failed to
lotter.
This year the youth, receive several
mentions for district honors.

Although the Bluecats defeated
the Mountaineers in the opening
game of the season, the Santa An-
na youths came back Friday after-
noon to wallop the locals to the tune
of seven to six.
Incidentally the win for Santa An-
na put that school in a triple tie
with Winters and Ballinger for dis-
trict honors in Class B. football.
A long pass, Ward to Wheeler,
was the method of scoring for the
Mountaineers. The touchdown and
extra point was made just a few
seconds before the end of the first
half of the game.
During the latter part of the game
Coleman almost pulled the game out
of the fire by a series of passes and
running plays. But the Bluecats
fell one point short of a tie.
Injuries during the latter part of
the season has been a grekl^handi-
cap to the local players. Some of
Coleman’s better players were un-
able to enter the tilt against Santa
Anna Friday afternoon at Santa
Anna.
Coleman was outplayed in most
departments of the game and the
heavier Santa Anna team took ad-
vantage of the breaks.

Boy Scout Area Is in Good
Condition, Minor Huffman,

Chisholm Trail Council Boy Scouts
of America, and among the cities
visited was Coleman said. “The ter-
ritory of the Chisholm Tr^il Coun-
cil is one of the best and affords a
wonderful opportunity for progres-
sive building. Every city in this
council Is cooperating one hundred
per cent and the council is devel-
oping real area consciousness.”
During the past two weeks Mr.
Huffman and Executive Shumway
have met with oommittees in Has-
kell. Anson. Stamford. Winters and
Tuscola and excellent progress is
manifest.
Mr. Shumway states that the Chis-
holm Trail Council expects Coleman

in the Chisholm Trail Council.

will necessitate the enrolling one of
every twelve-year old boy in the

Nice Progress
Made on Dunman
Nice progress is being made on
the Anderson-Herbert Oil Company
well on the Dunman tract about a
half mile from Coleman, Guy An-
derson said Tuesday. ,
The well was down around 825 feet
at that time.
We have had a man in Louisiana, locating the best syrup makers
in that state. He reports that he found various grades and
prices, but he bought from the man that knows how to make the
best. This syrup arrived this week, a solid car load. We are
going to ask that you be the judge and the jury, and if you do
not say that you did not know there could be so much differ-
ence in RIBBON CANE SYRUP, your money will be refunded.

When you walk through the aisles of Piggly Wiggly every cus-
tomer knows that there are bargains everywhere you look.
We thank each and every one of you a thousand times.

ty following a shut-down of three

made on the water well.
Eight inch casing, Mr. Chambers
said this week, has been set do-

Frank Aldrich to
Drill at Burkett
G. Frank Aldrich, Fort Worth, will
have equipment on the ground with-
in the next week for drilling an oil
well, the Edmondson No. 1, on the
northwest part of the T. J. Holt sur-
vey. It is a north offset to Brown-
Henderson No. 1,
The well is located one mile south
of Burkett in the edge of the Bur-
kett pool.
Culp Completing
Drilling Plans
Howard S. Culp, San Diego, Cali-
fornia, is completing arrangements
to drill on the J. C. Dibrell ranch,
near Echo.
After many years of scouting over
several states Mr. Culp of San Diego,
California, has returned to Coleman
county to develop the Dibrell lease
that he located many years ago.
Previous to his coming to Texas
in search for high grade oil he was
pperating in California where he was
producing low grade oil. The low
grade oil at that time was selling in
California as low as 30c per barrel.
Realizing the increasing demand for
high grade oil he induced his asso-
ciate and clients to allow him to
come to north central Texas and
make some investigations as to what
he could find.
It is understood that Mr. Culp rep-
resents the interest of The Mid-Tex-
1 arid Gas Co., Ltd., of Los An-
es.Y California, an organization
ipaoseti of business and profes-
sional men of Los Angeles and sub-
urban towns together with certain
«ib-operators and producers of both
the west coast and mid-continent
fields.
Local Oil Man
Must Travel 400
Miles To Well
R. C. Chambers is not exactly a
traveling min but he has to travel
many miles each week in supervis-
ing work on his oil well in Crock-
ett county.
Since it is about 200 miles from
here to the location of the well, it
is seen that Mr. Chambers travels
at least 400 miles in making the
round trip alone. Many other miles
are added on side trips he has to
make after he gets to the well.
It is 40 miles from the well to
the nearest postoffice, 75 miles to
the nearest railroad station and sup-
ply house. And it is ten miles to
the nearest telephone and 75 miles
to the nearest telegraph office.
Although the camp houses were
located two miles away on a direct
line from the well, a person had to
drive an automobile ten miles and
take an hour’s time in order to
reach them.
During the shut-down, however,
oil law is a progressive step. They
believe the law will prevent repeated
booms and depressions in qie oil
business and in a similar manner the
law will prevent very high or very
low prices.
The stabilization will apply to
large and small units as well as to
the consuming public, Mr. Cheney
believes.
"Senator Walter C. Woodward was
one of the leaders of this construc-
tive law." Mr. Cheney asserted.

An outstanding talk at the meet-

said there had been a great change
in economic conditions. Formerly,
he declared, the people were afraid
of a scarcity of materials and fuels
while now there is a fear of over-
production.

the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, ad-
