RANDOM SHOTS
MM
The other morning, while search
ing for matches in an -old pair of
troupers we came across a scallop.
We felt pleased for just ten minutes,
for it rolled out of our pocket and we
haven't seen it pi nee.
Wonder how many checks Jim has
these days.
Sarpy isn't putting out thing.
Today's Beat Story.
An old time barfly went into one of
these Bevo pa flora the other day, and
began to fill the car of his friend the :
mock bartender, who at one time was J
real bartender, with a tale of woe.
It's all wrong, this rear beer stuff,"
he told the ex-bartender. "This sort
f a joint is all wiong. There Isn't
anything right about it I hate to
drink this slop in place of real beer.
I miss the old-style lager; 1 miss the
Tom and Jerry; I miss the sloe gin
rkkey, and alt the fizzes; 1 miss my
whisky straight; I miss the old brass
foot rail; I miss the old brass spit
toon " "Yes, Dan," interrupted
Friend Barkeep, "you always did miss
that spittoon."
The Scottsblulf Presbyterian church
advertises movies of "The Good
Samaritan" for next Sunday nlrht.
It's the first church in that city to
' break into the movie game. How
many years has it been since the
Presbyterians objected to piano and
violin music to augment the organ, on
the ground that it was sacreligious ?
Wonder, when church movies get to
be the common thing, whether the
church movie fans will crab if the
pictures aren't as exciting as they
ought to be.
And won't it be difficult for the
church trustees to decide on the ser
ial A serial is necessary, for it keeps
'em coming back to see the finish. It
must be exciting, and yet must be
dignified.
Some day we're going to start to
work on a serial suitable for churches,
snake it about eighteen episodes, and
la each show some great temptation
that the hero has to overcome.
There'll be an episode dealing with
wine, another with women, and still
ethers that can be fairly lurid and at
the !ame time point out a great
moral. It'll be a dandy if we can
work out the details, and In advance
well guarantee that two or three of
the episodes can be made good
enough to attract crowds for second
shows.
They tell us there's money in writ
ing scenarios, but the only scenario
writer we ever knew still owes us
116.
Simply because a woman accompan
ies a man on a hunting trip, you are
not justified in speaking of the affair
mm m "man hunt."
Hoboes Union Rules.
A plan to organize the hoboes has
keen submitted, it is said. When their
organization has been consummated,1
some of the rules may be as follows:
Twenty-four hours will constitute
a loafing day.
There shall be extra pay, at the
rate of time an I a half, for all loafing
overtime.
Xo member of the Hoboes' union
will be permitted to lozt alongside
non-union hobo.
Any person employing non-union
hoboes to loaf on a job, and refusing
to discharge them when requested,
shall be boycotted,
Any hobo m eligible for membership
in the Hoboes' union on payment of
the initiation fee of three apple pies,
one cold chicken and a length of
cloihes line.
The package of scrap will go for
ward, just as soon as we can get our
courage up and raise the necessary
dime to buy it. '
Which will probably be as soon as
the paper is out. "
We're taking an awful chance but
Think of the chance the angei who
likes fat men is taking.
There must be a catch in it some
where it's too good to be true.
However, as Karl Marx said to the
socialists: "We have nothing to lose
but our chains we have a world to
gain."
From $15,000,000 to $25,000,000 is
wasted each year in the United States
by victims of consumption for worth
less cures, according to an estimate
made by the national tuberculosis as
sociation. One of the most valuable
parts of. the work deals with fake
cures. Buy Christmas seals and help
pay the expenses. Your own neigh
borhood may be benefitted.

OH. NOTES ,
Reports from north central Kansas
I state that the wildcat test well be
ing drilled about twenty-five miles
southeast of Fairbury, Neb., recently
' struck salt water at a depth of 2,700
feet and that the salt water rose al
most to the surface of the ground. A
geologist who visited the well pre
dicted that an oil bearing sand would
be found at 150 feet deeper and the
drilling is being continued. Leases
ha"ve been held in the Fairbury dis
trict for several years.

Uere'a a young wife who Inexpertly
wielded a can-opener and received an
ugly gash across her wrist from the
Jugged can lid., Mether was there,
however, with the First Aid kit and

prevented a case of blood poison by
giving prompt and proper treatment
before the doctor arrived.
Tight money is having its effect in
the drilling operations in eastern
Wyoming, a number of outfits whose
financial resources were limited being
compelled to shut down until money
loosens up, while others whose funds
were beginning to run low have
closed down until spring. .
Drilling during the cold winters of
Wyoming is a very expensive propo
sition ami many of the experienced
operators close down when cold
weather arrives. In the proven fields, '
where water and gas or fuel oil are 1
piped to the drilling rigs, the work ,
can be continued without so much
difficulty, but where it is necessarv .
to haul water and fuel for any dig-
lance over ine neavy gumbo roads,
the proposition is a difficult one.
Edgar Howard of Columbus has
been spending some time lately in
western Nebraska and eastern Wyo
ming working on an oil proposition.
It has been impossible to learn just
wnere nis noiuings are located, but
he ha been quite successful In other
fields and the outcome of his work
in this district will be looked for with
innterest Although he has been a
busy man, editing his newspaper, the
Columbus Telegram, and attending to
his duties as former lieutenant srov
ernor, he has found time in the past
to make some' profitable oil ven
tures.
The daily average crude oil produc
tion in the United States in the first
nine months of 1920 was 1.204.204
barrels, or at the rate of .439,534,460
barrels a year. The September out
put was at the rate of 1.261.500 bar
rels daily, or 67.296 barrels above the
daily average for the nine months'
period, it is estimated that the total
output for 1920 will easily exceed
445,000,000 barrels.
Norfolk is the" latest Nebraska
town to get the oil craze. Several
land owners in and near that city
nave sent samples of dirt to state
chemists at Lincoln in order to deter
mine whether or not the soil is sat
urated with mineral oil. Prospecting
is going on west of that city, accord
ing to reports, one of which is that
oil in small quantities was discovered
i by well diggers. These reports have
become more numerous since the well
being drilled at Bassett has , been
making a good showing.

I Rig and drilling equipment is be

shire, about forty miles southwest of
that city, on the Cheyenne river, in
eastern Wyoming. A deep test well
is to be drilled on a state land lease
J at that point by the Mississippi Delta
, company, which is headed by Judge
E. C. Raymond of Newcastle. The
Wyoming-Northeastern Oil company
of Alliance has 7,600 acres of hold
ings in that vicinity. The structure
was inspected by Dr. G. E. Condra of
Lincoln, who believes that the' pros
pects are sufficiently good for test
drilling. . . ... . '

Deep well No. 7 on section 19, in
the Osage field, brought in by the
Sinclair company on land leased from
the Carroll Oil company of Alliance,
averaged 288 barrels per day for the
first three days after being brought
in last week, and for the next three
days it averapd 240 barrels and has
now settled down to a steady produc
tion of 100 barrels daily. The
strength of this well may be readily
judged when it Is stated that the
baler was blown out of the well and
over the top of the mast.

The McWhorter Osage Refining
company is reported to have become
interested in the Omaha Pipeline
company and will assist Messrs. Bond
and McKinley in their pipeline pro
ject in the Osage field. Milton Mc
Whorter, who returned recently to
Newcastle from New York, where he
went to interest new capital in his
numerous refinery and oil enter
prises, states that he was able to
place enough securities of his com
pany to insure the enlargement of
the Osage refinery to a capacity of
1,500 barrels daily and for the com
pletion of the Moorecroft refinery,
begun last fall.
The Mississippi Delta company gas
well on section 24-46-64 in the Osage
field, which has been supplying as
for fuel to a number of drilling out
fits, became a flowing well last week.
This well, which haa been a freak
well from the time it was first
brought in, is 1,400 feet deep. One
day last week 1,300 feet of oil came
into the hole and when the casing
head was removed it mussed up the
landscape, gushing as hard as any
well in the field. It still produces
enough gas with the oil for use of
the company camp and a siphon,
Working on the principle of a cream
separator, haa been ordered and both
gas and oil will be taken from the
well and used.
