One tract consists of 80 acres, the other of 160 acres. A gas well of over 3,000,000 cubic feet daily is within CCR NR UD UD UD UID UD UN & 100 rods of the 80-acre tract, and good oil wells a little 2 farther away. Some of these wells produce as high as 4 5 and 100 barrels a day. There are no less than two = hundred oil wells within two miles of the 160-acre 35 tract, some as close as fifty rods, one of which produc- 8 ed over $6,000 worth of oil the first twenty-one days } a after it was shot. The lease on 160 acres one-half mile 8 from this company’s 160-acre tract sold recently for $50,000, with no better prospects than on this com- pany’s property. To develop these leases, a limited amount of treas- ury stock is offered at 10 cents a share, par one dollar. One hundred dollars will $1,000 worth of stock which carries with it no liability, and which cannot be assessed. For one month’s production last year in the Kan- sas field, over $194,000 was paid in dividends. This is a business proposition, conducted by busi- ness men in a business way. The small stockholders will be treated exactly like the large ones.

Everybody is strictly in it—the harvest field. No rest for the weary until ihe winter blizzards say “halt!” Towner county is easy one of the banner counties this year by way of a bumper crop, as the damage by rust in our section of country, including this and the surrounding counties, is bat very slight. Some few have threshed early barlay that made 40 to 50 bushels per acre. Wheat is expected to yield from 25 to 35 bushels, and oats 0 to 75 bushels per acre. We are having the finest of weather, and if the season eontinues favorable, everybody shall be happy, and the farmers can march to the polls this fall and give “Teddy” and “Charlie” a boost that will astonish the old Jacksonians. But one doesn’t hear much disputing of politics up here. Our editors are quite at peace with each other. The few Democratic and Prohibition editors don’t cut much of a swathe in this state. Every county in the state gave McKinley a majority at the last presi- dential election, and as “Teddy” figur- ed pretty prominently in this state years ago, he still carries the good will of the people, and none have any reason to go back on him. At this writing I have one field of barley on shock and two binders and three shockers going around a big wheat field. Next week there will be a still larger field of wheat to tackle, and following that comes 80 acres of oats, and then one more barley fleld before I can say “done!” This will be my eighth harvest in the state, and the biggest and the best, and so can most of my neighbors say, too, for themselves. More after the fall elec- tion. Respectfully, M. P. Licnry. BUCKLEN’S ARNICA SALVE Has world-wide fame for marvelous cures.

Since the people of Somerset sounty have determined to build a new ecourt- house, they are to be commended for their decision to do the thing right. Our southern neighbor is a century old, yet practically in its infaney, so far as material development is concerned. Fifty years from now anything but a firstclass structure would look pitiful amid its surroundings, for ‘Somerset is destined to become one pf the most important industrial centers of the state. The expenditure of a quarter of a million dollars for a public building may look large at this time, but the foresight which dictates it is certain to bring credit on those who have it in charge. To realize this, one has only to compare the buildings which were thought extravagant in this city fifty years ago with those now being erected as a matter of course. Time passes rapidly and brings changes utterly un- foreseen by those accustomed to look backward rather than forward. = WHAT'S IN A NAME? Everything is in the name when it comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. C. DeWitt, of Chicago, discovered some vears ago how to make a salve from Witch Hazel that is a specific for Piles. For blind. bleeding, itching and pro- truding Piles, eczema, cuts, burns. bruises and all skin diseases, DeWitt’'s Salve has no equal. This has given rise to numerous worthless counter- feits. Ask for DeWitt’'s—the genuine. Sold by E. H. Miller. HAY-FEVER SEASON. Written for the Johnstown Tribune by J. G. Neymoo.
