THE WORLD IS ALL RIGHT
In moments of despair one may be
led to think the world is all wrong but
the editor of The Herald is prepared
to say that the idea id all a mistake.
We took advantage of on opportunity
for a "Trip Around the World" at
Forgan Wednesday night and after
visiting the various countries we are
convinced that the old world is all right
after all.
The itinerary included:
United States Union Depot Dcrthick
home.
Japan Wentworth'home.
China Callahan home.
Mexico Meador home.
Alaska Nichols home.
Italy Davis home. -v
Ireland Cafky home.
Holland Marvel home.
France Harlow home.
Africa Coldwatcr home.
Tickets were all first class and the
dining and Pullman service throughout
the trip was Do Luxe. The party
traveled in eight special trains of three
Ford sedan coaches each and continu-
ous entertainment was provided en-
route and at the various station-stops.
The excursionists numbered about 176.
LIHHRAL OKFRHS S.W.OCH) I'OU
FIRST UOO-HAHRHL WKI.L
Tho sum of $50000 has been
promised tq tho organization which
Is tho first to bring In a 200 barrel
oil well within a ton-mllo radius
of Liberal. Tho offer has been made
by tho Southwest OH Development
company which has ben formed with
officers as follows: L. V. Gardner
prosldont; L. D. Woldcnsaul vice-
president; Ray Kennedy secretary
and J. N. Maxwell treasurer.
Tho money Is to bo paid "ten
days after a 200-bancl well han
been brought In." It Is hoped not
only to hurry up developments at
tho two. test wells west of the city
being put down by the McQutgg In-
vestment Co. and the north well
being drilled by tho Seward County
Oil and Gas Company but also to
bring In other companies. The
Idea which has worked successfully
elsewhere has been meeting with
hearty response here about half
of the sum being already subsciibcd.
As the money Is not to be. paid until
ten days after the bringing In of
a 200 barrel oil well the .proposi-
tion Ib a safe ono and one desenlng
of tho support of all Interested In
tho development of this field. If
a 20-barrol well Is brought In pro-
pel ty values will Jump to a point
Where the amounts being fctibscrlbed
will bo a very small matter and In
case tho well should not bo brought
In In that tlmo no money will bo
paid In by tho signets of tho peti-
tion. Exchange.
Mi INCH GENERAL RAIN
Tho long continued diy Vpell is
broken. A .55 Inch rain which was
geucrul In most parts of the county
fell Tuesday night. A blUBtcr of
wind thunder and lightning pre-
ceded tho lalnt'all but when thu
"wet goods" ai rived It camo down
steadily and soaked well Into tho
thirsty ground. Grass and wheat
which have been withstanding tho
diouth so remarkably are fulrly
Jumping from the ground. Trulj
Ucaer county is tho most wonder-
ful drouth-resistant icglon of the
entile btate and noithwest. That
ditty "llttlo drops of water llttlo
gialns of sand ninke the mighty
ocean and tho wondrous land" ap-
plies strictly to Heaver county.
Just a few drops of water oven
though long delaecl on out splen-
did soil which for tho most part Is
a sandy loam produces bumper
ciops. Other sections require moM
rain. Wo havo said before and wo
Kay again Reaver county Is the
"Gat den spot" of Oklahoma and
thu noithwest. All wo lack Is ade
quate railroad facilities giving ua
something Ilka direct routes and
reasonable servlco and that la
coming some day for those who
have tho youth and the patlenro to
wait for It.
