When in town come in to see us, even

THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU -i
We have never taken the position of telling farmers how to farm. We believe
that the farmers have forgotten more about farming than hardware men as a
class will ever know, and it s simply our business to serve you, to sell you what
you want. •
Whether^you prefer to walk between the handles, or ride, or crank a tractor,
is none of our business. It s our business to show you the very best implement of
its kind that we can find at at the right price. The choice is up to you.
Come around and look us over.

a memorandum suggesting that it now
is desirable that Holland request for-

As far as the correspondent has been
able to learn, the present Dutch gov-
ernment has decided that it will not
surrender the one-time German ruler.
Former Emperor William has trans-
ferred his wood-cutting activities to
Doom, where his new home is being
built. Dressed in a green hunting
suit, he was seen yesterday at Doom
chopping or sawing off the branches
of young trees which had been felled
with the purpose of perfecting a new
landscape for the park of his estate.
Although recently there was some-
thing akin to a crisis in the Dutch
Cabinet, there now seems no proba-
bility that the Government will fall.
The Amber Oil Company is starting
on a big week and eagerly watching
the rotary drill make its way down to
Amber oil. The star rig which started
the hole seemed to do the work until
after passing through the first oil
showing. From then on the ground
was soft and started caving and an
under-reamer had to be used constant-

O. D. W HITE ANNOUNCES AS
CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF
O. D. (Dudley) White, a popular
citizen of Morgan, was here last Tues-
day and authorized his name placed
in the Record’s announcement column
as a candidate for the office of Sheriff
of Bosque County, subject to the ac-
tion (A the Democratic Primary next
July.
Mr. White is probably one of the
best known citizens of the county who
has never run for county office, having
friends in every section and commun-
ity. For a number of years Mr. White
has been a deputy sheriff and is famil-
iar with all the details of the office.
Mr. White has spent practically, all
rotary drill, as they are used almost j his entire life in this county and stands
altogether in this section of the state I high as a gentleman and citizen, and
where the ground is so soft. It re- [ if elected promises his closest atten-
quired delay in moving the rotary tion to duty.
CARD OF THANKS
To the many dear friends and ac-
quaintances who came to our assist-
ance in the hour of our great berieve-
ment, in the death of our dear husband
and father, we wish, as best we qan,
to thank you for all the kindly deeds
and kind words that came to us in
this, the very darkest hour. May God’s
blessings rest on all.

from the Burk fields, as we were hin-
dered' by the severe weather and bad
roads. But now the rotary is going
on down and we expect to hit good pay

nown fame throughout the oil king-
CARD OF THANKS V
We take this method of extending
to one and all who so lovingly and
faithfully cared foi and helped us in
our recent illness and d°ath of our
little Marie Ideha. Her stay was short
dom and who has an outstanding rec-' and we felt that it was hare to give
ord of seventy-eight wildcat locations: her up, but wj hope to meet her on
without a failure, made our location that great day and she v/ill be a
and is also drilling three wells him-
self within a radius of three-quarters
of a mile from our location. Our lo-
cation has been passed on and O'. K’d.
by three other geologists among them
being Mr. Evans of British Columbia
and Dr. Rogers from the East.
The derricks are beginning to go
up fast around us and Archer county
will soon present an oil field resembl-
ing the Burk Field. So with new de-
determined resolutions and with the
interest of our stockholders at heart,
wt expect to give them good news in
a few days.
C. E. Swenson,
beckoning star to lead us there. The
Lord’s will, not ours, be done.
Again thanking you all for your
many kind words and deeds and may
God bless you all for them, we are
gratefully,
Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Surley.
