LUMMUS OIL COMPANY
BEGINS DRILLING
The Lummus Oil Company, Inc., be.
gan drilling on their new location on
the McGuire tract atuirday. This well
is located only a short distance from the
first test. Outsiders in some Instances
are taking this to mean that the first
test was not altogether unfavorable
Be this as it may, it is eucourageing
to lease holders to see this test being
put so near the first well, as it indl.
cates that the company has, not lst
faith in the possibilities of dscover
ing oil in this territory.

COMMUNITY BINO DRAWS
GO010 ATTENDANCE.
The Community Sing which was held
at the Victory Theatre Sunday after
noon was a success, there was a good
attendance notwithstanding a conflict
in the appointed hour for meeting. A
large per cent of those present par
ticipated in the singing, though there
were quite a few who were content to
listen.
Mrs. Pipes announced the arrival of
more song books that would be availl
able for next Sunday afternoon. She
also announced that the hour for meet
ing would be from 3:00 to 4:00 p. m.
Instead of 4:00 to 5:00 as stated
through the Democrat last week.
DRILLING COMMENCES

BODIES OF DEAD HEROES
TO BE BROUGHT HOME.
According to a statement appearing
Tuesday's newspapers, 17,000 caskets
hqi been purchased by the War De
partment at a cost of $1,104,508 to be
used in returning the .bodies of Ameri
can soldiers buried in France. The
bodies will be turned over to the next
of kn, says the statement.
Two more Amerlcan Aces are held
prisoners in Mexico, by municipal au
thorities in a town about 70 miles
south of Douglas, Arizona. It seems
to be quite the thing among army av
tators these days to become prisoners
of kin, says the statement.

The Best Way ft Find Out
Is To See For Yourself
We believe in the old saying, "that to make anyone know a thing is
to show him and prove your demonstration by making him understand
everything connected with the matter," and then if he or she is an unbe
ilever, you are at4fault, and your time and energy are wasted. But, if on
the other hand you can convince practically every man or woman to whom
you demonstrate that the things you are showing them has merit and is
exactly as represented, you are doing business. We believe that the aver
age man or woman is as intelligent as we are and that it is a waste of time
to try to "put anything over" anyone, and we do not try this method
to get customers. We advertise that we have the best merchandise that
we can buy and sell it as reasonable as possible. If we can't prove this
we are on the wrong trail. Suppose you try and see. We will be glad
to welcome you in our store and show you everything we have and will
not fall out with you if you odn't buy a cent's worth.
There must be something in handling this "QUALITY" merchandise
or our sales for November would not have been twice as great as any
month we have had since we have been in business.
