Contracted for a drilling depth
of 6,000 feet, a giant steel derrick
and all the drilling equipment
for a rotary rig have been put
on the ground and made ready for
work by Loffland Bros., the con-

week.
Should the well go to its full
contracted depth it will require a
period of some ninety days, more

On Blanco Rim
The location 6n the F. J. La-
them Homestead Pre-Emption Sur-
vey is within a few yards of the
rim of Blanco Canyon. Its loca-
tion is 450 feet from the north
line of the survey and 450 feet
from the east line, in the north-
east corner of the tract. It lies
immediately south of the Shipley
Estate lands.
The location and beginning of
the test follows an intensive cam-
paign of seismograph tests which
began in August and have been
continued. The first 23,000-acre
block of optional leasing contracts
will mature on November 15, when
owners are due to be paid 50
cents per acre for their leases.
However, the company has con-
tinued its leasing campaign and
several thousand additional acres
have been leased down Blanco
canyon and in the area southeast
of Floydada.—Floyd County Hes-

COTTON CROP BEST IN
HISTORY
Delegates from McLean and
JHedley met with the Commission-
ers Court Monday in urging a
bridge on the county road across
Salt Ford north of Hedley.
A roundtable discussion was held
by the members of the court and
the delegration, composed of J. W.
Noel, Jake Masterson and Shorty
Spalding, of Hedley; Wib Fowler
of Whitefish; and M. D. Bentley
and Mr. Meadors of McLean, in
an effort to provide ways and
means of building the bridge,
which would be expensive because
Still Coughing?
No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold, or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take a chance
with any remedy less potent than
Creomulsion, which goes right to
the seat of the trouble and aids na-
ture to soothe and heal the Inflamed
mucous membranes and to loosen
and expel the germ-laden phlegm.
-Even if other remedies have failed,
don’t be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained from the very first
bottle. Creomulsion is one word—not
two, and it has no hyphen in it.
Ask for it plainly, see that the name
on the bottle is Creomulsion, and
you’ll get the genuine product and
the relief you want. (Adv.)
A cotton crop of 18,243,000
bales, the largest crop ever pro
tluced in the United States, was
the department of agriculture’s
estimate released last Monday.
The largest previous crop was
17,078,000 in 1026.
The estimate of this year’s crop
is quite a comparison with the
actual production of last year’s
crop, which was 12,399,000 bales.
This year’s crop is being gath-
ered from 33,736,000 acres—a
smaller acreage than that of 1926
—and the yield of 258.8 pounds
per acre also sets a new record.
The estimate for Texas this
year is 5,005,000 bales, with a
yield of 191 pounds per acre
average.—The Memphis Democrat

CHECK PASSER HELD
E. I’. Hathaway, a hot check
artist who had worked through
this section for over ten years,
was apprehended at Whitewright
this week, as a result of the ef-
forts of Sheriff Malon Owens.
The sheriff had checks the man
had drawn and given Quanah mer-
chants in 1927. Two weeks ago
the same man came to Quanah
and flooded the town with small
checks that were never paid. It
was learned that the man recently
had served a jail sentence in Abi-
lene for the same kind of offense.
Sheriff Owens left Wednesday to
return the man here for trial.
They came in this morning at
three o’clock.—Quanah Tribune-
Chief.

Solomon Island Natives
Vigorous and Fighters
The Solomons are a group of sev-
en large and a great number of
smaller islands, stretching over
about 800 miles in the Pacific ocean
east of New Guinea. Most of them
are rough and mountainous, and
covered with dense tropical forests,
writes Albert D. Lewis in Field Mu-
seum News.
The natives form a part of the
Melanesian group of peoples, all of
whom speak languages also known
as Melanesian. These are funda-
mentally related in a grammatical
sense, but differ greatly in vocabu-
lary.
The Solomon islanders are vigor-
ous and warlike, but are compelled
to keep the peace except in the In-
terior of one or two of the larger
islands. Many of them were for-
merly head-hunters and cannibals,
and often made raids on their neigh-
bors, using large high-built war ca-
noes 40 to 50 feet long, capable of
carrying 25 or more men. Clubs
and spears were the principal weap-
ons, but bows and ’arrows were used
in some places.
The natives are of medium height,
but vary considerably. In the west-
ern end of the group they are rather
tall, somewhat negroid in appear-
ance, with kinky, black hair and a
very dark or sooty-black skin. The
eastern islanders are somewhat
smaller, of a lighter, chocolate-
brown color, with curly or wavy
hair. It is evident that in the Solo-
mons, as in all other Melanesian is-
lands, there is an underlying Oceanic
negroid or Papuan type, mixed to a
greater or lesser degree with Indo-
nesian or Malayan immigrants.
For food the natives are largely
dependent on their gardens, taro be-
ing the most important foodstuff.
Other vegetables are used to some
extent, but taro is the basis of near-
ly every meal, with fish, shrimp or
meat (chiefly pork) being added
when obtainable. The natives are
very fond of the milk and meat of
the unripe coconut, to obtain which
they must climb the coconut palms.
“Easterling” Word Used
to Denote Real Quality
After the Romans left Britain,
coinage was in chaos for several
centuries, writes Alice H. Coutant
in the American Collector. Coins
were of all shapes and sizes. Qual-
ity and weight of silver varied
greatly and the practice of clipping
coins, although punishable by death,
was common. Toward the middle
of the Thirteenth century, a number
of north German merchants came
to England and formed a guild in
London. They made their own coins
which soon became notable for hon-
esty of weight and fine quality.
Called “Easterlings,” probably be
cause of the geographical position
of the country where they originated,
the term soon applied to their coins
as well. Then, by the end of the
century, it had been shortened to
sterling and this, derived from the
name given to the honest product
of honest men, became the accepted
term for the alloy which has been of
such a high standard in England for
more than 600 years.
Sterling silver is an alloy of 925
parts pure silver in 1,000. This
standard, decreed by King Edward
I in the year 1300, has been adhered
to ever since, except for a few years
when an even higher standard pre-
vailed. No other country holds such
a record.
Gorge Sees Only Noon Sun
Only at midday does the sun ever
peep into the bottom of Indian pass,
that narrow, mile-long gorge cut
deep through solid rock between
MacIntyre and Wallface mountains
in the heart of the Adirondack wil-
derness a few miles southeast of
Lake Placid. Called-by the Indians
“Henodoawda,” the Path of the
Thunderer, Indian pass is one of
the scenic marvels of the Adiron-
dacks. Its walls rise straight up over
a thousand feet. On the western
(Wallface) side the perpendicular
rock face rears itself 1,300 feet into
the air. Near the middle of the
pass, high up on MacIntyre, are two
small springs, so close together that
their waters almost intermingle.
Separating a few feet farther down,
they flow on to the bottom of the
pass in two little rivulets. One rivu-
let finds its way south to the head-
waters of the Hudson river, while
the other heads north where even-
tually Us sparkling content mingles
with the mighty St. Lawrence.
Mud, a Strange Export
One of Czechoslovakia’s strangest
exports is mud. The mud is of a
very special quality, for it is that of
Piestany and other famous spas and
contains radium, silica, iron, cal-
cium and other healing minerals.
There, at Piestany, the mud, known
as “fango,” can be dried and made
into cubes and poultices, without
loss of Us health-giving qualities. So
dehydrated, it Is exported all over
the world for the treatment of rheu-
matism, gout, sciatica and other ail-
ments. The greatest springs for the
cures at Piestany rise on the bath-
ing Island in the River Vah. These
well up through fissures in the rock
strata, the water having a temper-
ature of about 140 degrees.
8ermon Repeated for Sleepers
In older days clergymen preached
long sermons and demanded more of
their flock than do those of today.
One such preacher had most of his
audience asleep, but they all woke
up toward the close and got ready
for the closing service when the
preacher announced “that, as they
were all awake, he would repeat his
sermon, hoping now to be heardl”

Grass and Finance
DENTON. Nov. 16.—“Stay off
the grass’ would be a hard rule
for Texans to follow consistently,
since the state is literally over-
run with it. Half as many species
are to be found here as can be
discovered all over the United
States. Thirteen of the fourteen
great American grass tribes have
representatives on Texas land.

Trailers March On
Trailers away! Modern prairie
schooners are making great head-
way in Texas ( judging from the
increased number owned during
the past ten years. There are
now 45,000, which is an increase
of more than 500 per cent over
those owned in 1926. Since auto-
mobiles have only increased 25
per cent, the size of this figure
can be appreciated in comparison.

Lighted Up
A very shocking place in Texas,
considering the amount of elec-
tric power harnessed and funct-
ioning today. With about 250
electrical generating stations
operated by around fifteen major
companies and fifty or sixty local
companies, the total investment is 1
more than $300,000,000. Contri-
bution of 1936 is the development
of rural electrification, which is
spreading through all parts of the
state.
