The Lone Star Oil Co. is get-
ting ready for business across the
river north of Hollis. Their
test will be made on the Skaggs
ranch just a mile east of Carl
store.
Field Manatrer W. II. Mims of
the Lone Star Co. arrived a few
days ago with two G. M. C.
trucks with trailers. These are
rather large trucks, the casings
being 8x40. These trucks are
specially made for the hauling of
heavy timbers, casings, etc ,
used in oil fields.
AL in Betchor and Jeff Park-
inson are $rjyers of these trucks
and nave all this week been
making two to three trips daily
with the trucks loaded to their
capacity (2 tons). Three pieces
of heavy timbers made a good
load for one truck Monday.
Today (Thursday) will finish
the hauling of this material to
the Lone Star field. Manager
Vlims has telegraphed the head
ufljee to send the derrick build-
ing crew and they will be here
within a short time.
The Grandoleum test on the
Motley farm two miles east of
town are drilling right along.
They are now in a black forma-
tion and indications for oil are
very flattering. Another driller
name Blue has been added to the
crew of workmen. Mr. Blue has
had several years experience in
drilling oil wells$ and has never
bored a "dry" hole. Before tak-
ing up his duties as driller of
this test he looked over and
studied the soil brought up from'
{below and says, there .s oii to be
jf jund,at no great depth, and he
has great confidence in the fut-
ute of this well.
H. Li. hamsey, of the Auto Oil
and Gas Co., returned a few
days ago from r«arket where\he
purchased $15,000 worth of cas-
ing, enough, with casing on
hand, to lin* the test on the
Gillintine farm two and one-half
miles northwest of this city.
Work is progressing nicely on
this test and indications of oil
and gas have been discovered
we are told.
The test southeast of Hollis
near Louaey has strong indica
lions of oil. Some trouble has
ueen had with casing and coois
out we understand taat work is
now going on.

Fordson Hits Highest
Production Record.
Henry Ford Started on Trac-
tor 15 Years Ago.
On February 19th at 9 a. m.
Fordson Tractor Number 1U0.0OO
left the assembly line in the
r ordson Flant at Dearo >rn,
ulichigan, sligntiy less man two
years after nuinner one was
completed. And nere again has
Henry Ford set a new hign re-
cord in the manufacture of farm
tractors via the Quantity pro-
duction route.
Aithougti the Ford interests
are very receai entrants iu the
ranks of the tractor Manufactur-
ers, yet Hen .'y Ford really built
a tractor-of the steam type be-
fore he started work on his first
gas car. And incidentally, chat
tractor and the first car, HtiU in
jvery good running condition,
and Mr. Fard oocassionally de-
monstrates both visitors at his
farm in Dearborn.
Some fifteen years ago Mr'
Ford benan work on what has
come to be the Fordson this
traotor was really a Ford Car
equipped with special wheels
and included of course seme
mechanical changes. By 1908
he had a workable tractor; it
plowed, harrowed, and did much
other work on the farm. Then
ensued nine more years of ex-
perimental work before the
first tractor was put on the mar
ket.
Fordson tractors are now
being assembled at a rate of 850
daily at Dearborn, J0o at the
be. Louis Assembled Plant, and
it is estimated that within a
short time the Des Moines
Branch will be in operation.
I'nere is also an
plant in Cork, Ireland'
