ASK HER ABOUT IT
Does your wife ha-e to ask you for every cent she needs?
Don't you think she would appreciate having a little account
all her own at the bank?
Ask her and see. And n:ne times out of ten the women
are more prudent, careful lyul saving than the men. A bank
account would not only please the wife and and give her a
more comfortable feeling of indepenedence, but it would also
help to educate her in modern business methods. You may not
be with her always. Then what?

NOTES FROM THE OIL FIELD
P. R. Harris of Greenville, who is
having a well drilled on the Lewis
farm, two miles northeast of the pro-
duction area in the Bulcher field, ac-
cording to the Gainesville Register,
reports that his well is logging right
along with the best producers on the
Dennis farm, and that a sand is ex-
pected between 1,250 and 1,300 feet
that will make a paying producer.
The well is now drilling around 900
feet. A day and night crew will be
placed on duty to rush work along
more rapidly. A good producer in
this vicinity at this time would make
busines pick up around here.
The Simms Oil Company No. 1
Bowers in the Bulcher field is drilling
around 1,000 feet.

ANOTHER BOXING BOUT
Lance of Gainesville to Be Given a
Return Bout with Dohety of
Saint Jo.
"Country Boy" Cal Lance will meet
lack Doherty in a return bout in the
ring over Aldriedge's garage in Saint
Jo, Saturday night, December 3rd, at
8 o'clock p. m., sponsored by the Am-
erican Legion Athletic Club of Saint
Jo, Texas.
In the previous bout between Lance
and Doherty the decision was a very
close one, and Lance and those that
back him feel that he can stage a
come-back if given another chance.
Both Lance and Doherty have been
under heavy training since their pre-
vious bout, and both men are in ex-
cellent condition.
Both fighters have an undaunted
determination to win, and the contest
will be a hard one, lasting at least
eight rounds, unless a knock-out is
had sooner, which Doherty predicts
will be the case long before the eighth
round.
The preliminaries will be excep-
tionally good, opening with a battle
royal staged by five "African Slug-
gers" from Lance's home town.
The program will be an eye-opener
from start to finish, keeping you on
your tiptoes all the while, and there
will be thrills a-plenty for all who at-
tend.
