INTERESTING OIL NOTES
BIRTHDAY DINNER.
The Paris Oil & Gas Company has
just made its first distribution, to its
stockholders in the shape of a 50 per
cent dividend.
Operating the Poplar Thicket lease,
Lee county, the Co-operating Land &
Development Company is preparing
to sink well No. 3.
The Parboken Oil Company's well
No. 3, on the Kincaid lease in Lee
county is' promising and the drilling
rig is now working on well No. 5.
On tne Tyree lease in Lee county,
the Co-operating Land & Develop
ment Company of Paris and Lexing
ton, hascompleted its initial well,
which is credited with 40 barrels.
The McCombs Producing & Refin
ing Company is installing a ?20,000
compression plant at Campton, which
will be used in pumping the 52 wells
owned and operated by the company
in "Wolfe county.
The Bourbon Oil & Development
Company report the breaking of a
wrist pin in the drilling outfit in
Elliott county, which has delayed
work on a well now down to a depth
of 970 feet, and which, when drilled
in is expected to be a gusher.
The Frank Calhoun Company, drill
ing on the Rice Crooks farm near
Nontli Middletown, at a depth of 1,
100 feet, struck a vein of mineral
water, that in taste is very similar
to the famous Blue Lick. A sam
ple was sent to Lexington to the Ex
periment Station for analysis.
The Little Banjo Oil Company, of
Paris, has let contracts to drill three
wells on its holdings in Elliott coun
ey. A well was recently brought in
and shot by this company on its
holdings, which pumped 60 barrels
for two weeks, but was forced to shut
down because of lack of pipe line facilities.
The Associated Oil Royalties Cor
poration made two promising invest
ments lately when they secured
a. one-sixteenth royalty in the Cherry
lease in Allen county and a 3-33 in
terest in the Motley-Saxon tract of 23
acres in the same county. There are
fifteen pumping wells on the above
tracts.
The Lane Oil Company, of Paris,
is reported to have purchased a sub
stantial interest in 230 acres in Allen
county. There are 14 producing
wells, on this lease. Two more ma
chines have been started to work and
.the company expects to drill at least
twenty more wells during the pres
ent season.
Regardless of unfavorable labor
and health conditions in the Eastern
Kentucky oil fields and of the in
tense heat that has been experienced
during the past few weeks, activities
in both sections of the oil districts
of Kentucky are on the increase.
There was an increase of almost 7,
000 barrels in runs reported by the
Cumberland Pipe Line Company dur
ing the past week, which, with the
reported amount of contracts for
drilling and new leases that have
been acquired, indicates that the
next few weeks will see larger pro
ductions in runs and competitions
than has been the case in the past.
Representatives of Oklahoma com
panies are becoming interested in
Kentucky pools, and a number of
Kentucky companies have sent scouts
and representatives to Oklahoma and i STATE
Texas to make a study of the condi
tions in those States in regard to the
oil prospects and to obtain leases.

Mrs. John Woodford entertained
in honor of her father's 77th birth
day anniversary Saturday at her
home near Paris, with an elaborate
dining.
If any of the pessimists who grum
ble and moan that the "good old days
are over in Kentucky" had been pres
ent at the Woodford home on Satur
day, June 21, they would have had
their last fear put to flight and been
obligated to acknowledge that the
hospitality that once made us ramous,
still lives and flourishes.
Mr. and Mrs. John Woodford have
that peculiar grace that seems to be
the birthright of true-born Kentuck--
ians, of making their guests so sin
cerely welcome as to make an invita
tion to their attractive home eagerly
sought for by their friends.
Saturday, June 21st was the occa
sion of the gathering together of one
of the representative families of this
section in. response to an invitation
from Mrs. Woodford. It was the
77th anniversary of the birth of her
father, Mr. John VanMeter, of Boyle
county, and the VanMeter clan gath
ered from far and near to do him
honor.
Forty guests sat around the long
hospitable table that fairly groaned
beneath its burden of good things,
and just for a minute the talk and
laughter was stilled, as in a few well
chosen words Mr. VanMeter gave
thanks to the Giver of every good
and perfect gift. As the words fell
from his lips, every heart present
was saying "A hoary, head is a crown
of glory it it be found in the way of
righteousness."
The guests lingered until the
shadows begun to lengthen and only
the long drive that lay before many
of them, brought them to the part
ing of the ways. Mr. VanMeter look
ed like a pariarch of old, as he stood
among his kinspeople and listened
to their happy wishes for many re
turns of the day and the love and
affection they so freely expressed.
The only child of the Woodford home
bears his grandfather's name in full,
and as the two stood side by side a
line from Lowell most fittingly came
to mind, "If youth be a defect, it is
one we outgrow only too soon."
Mr. VanMeter's two daughters,
Miss Anna and Miss Sue Vanmeter,
accompanied him to Bourbon. The
guests present were:
Mr. and Mrs. B. F. VanMeter, Mrs.
Emma V. Hamilton, Mrs. William
Pettit, Mr. William Petti t, Mr. Har
old Pettit, Mrs. Scott VanMeter, Mrs.
Fannie V. Savage, Mr. L. M. Vanme
ter, Dr. and Mrs. B. F. VanMeter,
Mr. and Mrs. Solomon VanMeter, Mr.
Joe VanMeter, Misses Mabel and
Martha VanMeter, all of Lexington;
Mr. and Mrs. Prewitt VanMeter, Mr.
and Mrs. T. W. VanMeter, Mr. Em
manuel VanMeter, Mr. Willis Van
Meter, Mrs. Nelson VanMeter, Misses
Elizabeth VanMeter, Anna Coleman
VanMeter, Amelia Clay VanMeter,
Mr. and Mrs. Will Duty, Mr. and Mrs.
Will Gay, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Gay,
of Winchester; Mr. J. M. VanMeter,
Misses Anna and Sue VanMeter, of
Danville; Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Steen
bergen and Miss Frances Steenber
gen, of Paris.

stay. Mr. Tinsley has resumed his
old position as traveling man for a

been in the service in France, but
were not close to the firing line, and
did not participate in any of the bat
tles. Mason received a promotion to
First Sergeant and Butler was made
Supply Sergeant. They said they
were glad to get back to old Ken
tucky, but that if they were needed
again they would gladly return.

TAKE IT DOWN!
When an old building becomes
tumbled-down-and-out,and unsightly,
and a general eye-sore, there is an in
stant demand for its removal. The

is in the same class. Having-served
the purpose for which it was erected,
is there any longer real need for 're

SALVATION ARMY CAMPAIGN IS
CONDUCTED THIS WEEK.
The work of raising money in Ken
tucky for the House Service Fund of
the Salvation Armv of America, hv
means of which the Army will con
tinue its work among the poor, out
cast, fallen and abandoned in the big
cities and relieve the wants of suffer
ing children due to poverty for which
they have been in no way to blame,
is now on in Kentucky. It is a
movement which ought to be aided by
every man, woman and child, who
believes in work for humanity.
"They that are whole need not a
physician, but they that are sick,"
said the lowly Nazarene, and this
doctrine the Salva'tion Army has been
practicing ever since the founding of
the movement by General William
Booth in the slums of London. Evan
geline Booth is at the head of the Sal
vation Army in America. With the
endorsement of General John J.
Pershing, Secretary of War Baker,
President Wilson, General Foch and
General Joffre of the work done
among the soldiers of Europe, her or
ganization is going before America
for funds for the work at home, since
the work among the soldiers has been
practically completed. Let us all give
to this worthy enterprise as we are
able a-nd as we gave to every other
drive for such work since the war
began. No money we have ever given
will bring more beneficial results
than this given to the Salvation
Army.
