DENTON, March 3.—"Anything
for health and beauty" is the creed
of the girls at the College of In-
dustrial Arts here. When the girls
arrive at their tables in one of the
dini/.; rooms and find spinach on the
menu there is almost a unanimous
wail and here are a few of the re-
marks that are reported to have
been heard on such an occasion:
"Why doesn't Burbank graft spi-
nach with bananas, I wonder?"
"Well, I heard that spinach made
your hair curly."
"Yes, and my physical ed. teacher
says it puts muscle in the arms
and I haven't a bit," another de-
clared.
"And I have found a way that
you can eat it and hardly taste it at
all. First take a bite of salad, then
a bite of spinach, then a gulp of
strong coffee and swallow real
quick," remarks another.
And they all eat spinach.

The Springfiold Lodge, No. 74,
A. F. & A. M., has adopted the fol-
lowing resolution on the death of
Dr. R. B. Jackson, who was a mem-
ber of the ordert
WHEREAS, an alarm came to the
door of our Lodge, and the Messen-
ger was Death, and none presumed
to say to the awful presence: "Who
dare approach?"
This summons was for a friend,
a beloved one, a Brother.
The Silver Cord was loosed and
the Golden Bowl was broken.
In death he responded.
The light of his kindly eye, the
breathing of his lips in their lan-
guage of fraternal greeting has
ceased for us forever, on this side
of the grave, but the memories of
our brother, Dr. R. B. Jackson, will
not fade among men. It is inscribed
upon our hearts for he was true and
courteous. For more than thirty
years he labored among us, the peo-
ple he loved so well and who loved
him for his noble christian charact-
er.
Our prayer is that the Lamp of
God's love may dispell the Gloom of
the dark shadow of his death, and
when the King of Glory shall come
again that all of us may join with
him in his final passage through the
Gates as they are "lifted up" for
the entrance into the Holy City,
where forever more with the angels J Foster Oil

Hendrix Pleased
After N. Y. Trip
Frazer Hendrix, manager of W.
A. Jackson company, Mexia store,
has returned from two weeks stay
in New York while on a three weeks
buying trip for the chain of stores
he represented.
Mr. Hendrix was surprised to find
ladies ready to wear cheaper and
better looking, and purchased a large
supply in all lines for his company.
Mr. Hendrix is very optimistic ov-
er the outlook in the dry goods and
ready to wear trade in this district
and looks forward to a good season
in both spring and summer trade.
The Transcontinental Oil Company
is drilling cautiously and coring for-
mations on what is kown as the
Nigger Creek structure, west of
town five miles. It is below 1100 feet
at this time. It is expected that the
Austin Chalk will be reached before
the week ends.
J. H. McCai'ty states that drilling
has stopped on the Z. Anglin No. 1
which he has been drilling for H. E.
West, near Groesbeck. The depth of
(he hole is 2265 feet, which Mr. Mc-
Carty has made in record time. At
550 feet a gas showing was en-
countered and at 1177 feet another
showing of gas and oil was noted.
He believes that this test was too
far east. At present efforts are being
made to secure a small block of
acreage to make Possible a new test
which Mr. McCarty hopes to make
about 1500 feet west of the one
just abandoned.
The Z. Anglin No. 1 was about 165
feet southwest of a test made several
years ago by the Defender Oil Com-
pany. In this test, a sand was found
at 1225-1235, 1605-1610, 2100-2285
feet which was missed in the well
drilled by Mr. McCarty.
Morley and Morley are drilling
on the Head ranch in the Kosse
country. According to the last re-
Port received from this test, efforts
were being made to test a sand at
around 1800 feet. Although this is
to be a Trinity sands test, if neces-
sary, all formations logged when
first drilled or hereafter are to be
tested thoroughly.
The Mike Kouri shallow well on
the Munger Kin lot at Worfham is
credited with makng about 5 barrels
daily. Additional shallow wells are
to be drilled in that territory dur-
ing the campaign for shallow pro-
duction now on there.
