STATE C. E. PRESIDENT.
Despite the uncertain market condi-
tions resulting from the war, the oil
business in Lincoln county seems to
be thriving, an new locations are con-
tinually being made and driling is now
going on in all parts of the county.
High prices prevail and oil compa-
nies throughout the state seem eager
to place their money on Lincoln coun-
ty prospects.
At the Roxana well six men are on
the job and drilling is going on day
and night. The Universal well, lo-
cated in the northwest part of the
county, in Iowa township, is now’ drill-
ed to a depth of 1800 feet, and the
prospects are very good, as a showing
of oil has been made. There are now

To My Mother
(By A. I). Brown)
The world’s at the morning in sweet mother's love
Like sweet roses sparkle with dew from above
My mother directs me and watches my way
And keeps me from evil wherever I stray.
Oftimes 1 remember when temptations arise
The precepts which mother brought down from the skies.
And when in my strength all my vows I fulfull
My sweet mother, smiling, approve of me still.
I see her dear face wherever I roam,
It strengthens the ties and affections of home.
Purest, sweet mother! A shrine I will make
And worship thine image, and never forsake
Try faithful instruction. Thy tears I will heed.
Regard all thy prayers, for when Pm in need
Of strong resolution, and determined will,
1 need to remember what thou didst instill.
1 can’t compensate thee for what thou hast done.
But please take this tribute from thy grateful son.
.*
For what thou hast suffered, what thou underwent
For thy watching o’er me, the wakeful nights spent,
Tne pains and the pangs and the griefs that thou bore
I don’t understand, but I reverence the more.
Thou gavest thy strength and thy blood and thy bone.
Thou gavest thy life for me, thou alone.
Thou’st done this and more for me, Mother, and now
A halo of glory I place on thy brow.
The times that I worried thee, disobeyed thee,
When I was ungrateful and cruel and bad
And mean and deceitful, it makes my heart sad
To think for thy goodness, I rendered thee woe.
For when I went places thou begged me not to go,
I lied to thee sometimes regarding my ways,
Forgive me sweet Mother, accept of my praise.
For all thy instruction, thy good moral laws
Thy discipline sweet, and thy life without flaws.
Thy love and compassion, thy pity in shame,
Sometimes thou approved me when I was to blame.
I cannot undo what’s been done to my shame
I always shall love thee and honor thy name.
•»***<**«.„-.
Thy life and thy love, like a book, has been read,
And shall be remembered long after thou’rt dead
I know of thy purity, piety, truth,
Thou art my sweet angel, my guardian in youth,
My ideal in manhood, my idol in age,
My most sober worship, my best thoughts engage.
And when thou art glorified, raised upon high,
1 know 1 shall see thee, for souls cannot die,
The Christ that thou Ipve. * will also love me
