A Canadian named Cosey was ap-
pointed to a government place. Tech-
nically, it had to be held by a law-
yer, which Casey was not. The ben-
chers of the law society, however, un-
1 dertook to obviate the technicality.
"Well, Casey" said the evaminer,
what do you know about law, any-
way." "To tell the truth," replied the
candidate, "I don't know a single
thing," The examiner reported in Ais
affidavit "that he had examined Mr.
Casey as to his knowledge of the law,
and to the best of his information and
belief he had answered the questions
that he had put to him correctly." The
aspirant was thereupon admitted.—

A derrick for the rig which was
placed on the C. H. Wilcox farm, a
mile east and a mile north of Canute
is being constructed and the promo-
ters of the well say drilling will be-
gin as soon as the derrick is complet-
ed which will be about t*o weeks.
A well was drilled near where the
oil well will be driled a few days ago,
and at a short distance sand moist
with oil was found, is a report coming [
from the well.
One geneleman who is alive to his
opportunities is Fred Miller, who lives
about two hundred yards from the lo-
cation of the well. In front of his
house is a sign in large letters which
reads on one side. "Oil Field Boarding
House," and on the other side, 'Hotel,'
Mr. Miller doubtless will receive con-
siderable custom from the oil field
workers and visitors to the well. Foss

•The sale of the Becgham county
school lands is in progress this week,
and a large number of school land
lessees and others who are interested
in securing homes are here attending
the sale. Practically all of the land
offered for sale waa sold at a price
in excess of the appraised value this
being specially the case where no
preference right existed and where
there were no improvements. One
section of sandy land located seven
miles south of Sayre which was ap-
praised at $250.00 per quarter was

Holding public office In Oklahoma
is not such a facinating Job that none
ever quit. This Is particularly true
when the office holder happens to be
successful in prospecting for oil. One
of the latest oil producers among the
state officials is E. B. Howard, state
auditor, who is also one of the moat
efficient and popular of the state of-
ficials. Mr. Howard is getting his af-
fairs in shape and arranging to quit
office within the current year. He said
that he cannot afford to continue in
office after a few more months, for
his business would have to suffer if
he did. ,
While the resignation of Mr. How-
ard is not an immediate proepect If
is likely to be be transmitted to Gove

Several young men of this communi-

in the driving or automobiles.
On several occasions they have driv-

Our town Is not Incorporated it Is
true, but thht does not give any one
a license to tank upon booze and then
demonstrate his ability to drive a car.
Remember, its better to be careful,
than to be sorry. So be careful, for
the law gives every one an equal
right on our streets and roads.—Col-
