Caught the Boys How To Detect The
Presence Of Oil
The two boys John Goldsberry
and Frank Stephens, who had
been placed by the Dependent
Childrens Home in farm homes
near Davenport, and who ran
away on March 23rd, taking
with them two horses belonging
to W. R. Smith, have finally
been captured at Brookfield, Mo.
"Am sending you a sample of
water on our place for testing.
It is supposed that there is oil in
it. There is a substance that
stands on the water and looks
like coal oil, but there is no smell
that I can detect. There is also

There is no oil in the sample

ing a piece of cleau, unglazed

If oil is present it will produce
the easily recognized grease spot.
Surface oil does not often lead
to valuable deposits. If vegeta-

presence of air, cei tain gas and
oily products are always formed.

return with the troublesome
youngsters.
After leaviHg here the boys
were traced through Jennings
and were heard of again at the
edge of the Osage country. The
next information came from an
intercepted post card which the
Goldsberry boy sent from Kan-
sas City to his mother who lives
at Brookfield, telling that they
were on their way to her. The
house in which the mother li ved
was watched and the capture re
suited.
The boys who are only 12 and
14 years old, started without
money and how they could have
begged their way such a distance
without, being caught is not eas-
ily understood. A deputy from
the sheriff's office followed them
for several days and the country
between here and Kansas City
was notified of rewaui offered
for detention of the little fellows.
From Davenport to Brookfield
is about 420 miles by the most
direct route. How much fur-

New Store
Very welcome to Davenport
people, is the news that A. K.
Mattingly of Stroud has opened
a general store in Davenport.
He purchased the millinery
utock and fixtures of Mrs. Willa
Keller and is adding the other
lines including groceries and dry
goods. The Era trusts that Mr.
Mattingly's business career in
Davenport will be both pleasant
aud profitable.
"Thomas Pryor Gore, United
States senator from Oklahoma,
one of the notable democrats in
a democratic era, is the victim
of one of the ripest yarns yet
charged to a public servant.
It is claimed that the Oklaho-
ma senator has been "rubbering"
at the ladies, and at one lady in
particular.
Presumably by way of plausi-
bility we are inlormed that the
lady in question is very comely,
and extremely attractive.
The premises sound like a
very likely case, except for one
very important feature. That
sine.quo non being that the
senator is fortunately or unfor-
tunately blind as a bat.

The oil well has been closed
for time and eternity at this
point. A state official is here to

understand, to keep the salt
water confined within its native
strata. Several sacks of cement
were used for the purpose, and
blocks of wood were sent down
ahead, for lodging places for the
concrete. The tools could not
be recovered.
The failure of the test is due
to the water pressure which was
too great for the ordinary cas-
ing to endure. As soon as the
water was baled from the inside,
the pressure of 2000 feet of liquid

THESE BONES SHALL RISE AGAIN
Man's first manifestation of civilization came
when he domesticated animals, cared for and used
them to assist him in making a living. Then came
the slow evolution of farm tools, until finally we
have the perfect implements found on all progres-
sive farms.
But not until recent years did man's second man-
ifestation of civilization appear; that of caring for
and feeding the soil.
Thousands and thousands of acres in the United
States stand ruined today from loss of humus, of
vegetable matter. Land will not continue to yeild a
return over and above the cost of production, unless
properly cared for.
Use all the animal manure you can get, rotate
your crops, using clover or cow peas at proper inter-
vals, and replenish the hungry soil with plant food
suitable to its and the crops nature. Feed your land
and it will feed you, and many shall know that

Supply the soil with this valuable plant food—

sending forth its tiny shoot, developing with every
shower that falls whispering on its leaves, until
loosening its fleece to the sun, it yields its harvest
