Tite Liberty Oii and Gas Company's ^
ofSeia'fi are jubliant over the report a
; from tbeir well Xo. 2, at Elk Basin, I Ll
and welJ. they need be. This com- 1 s
pany feas 724 acres in the Elk Basin i c
^ ^oi! fields and are drilling in clos^ i
proximity of producing wells in the i L
natioaal-?nown oil field. The Elk ! a
Basin for the year just ended pro- v
<luced over $25,000,000. j tl
The Liberty's Well No. 2 Is down ro ^ tl
a depth of over 1000 feet $nd the in- ; tl
dications of oil are strong. Judging ; t]
from the formation of the oil sands, j a
the company will not have to go over* j c
four or five hundred feet to strike the , s<
first oil and when this Is encountered p
the company will certainly be i* the ;
<rame strong. The acreage that they ^
> have guarantees putting down several j
hundred wells on their own holdings
and secare producing wells for years,; rfatt
that adjoining territory would ,
soon "^e "m|lked dry'' by companies
operatic*: in their vicinity. , ^
Tbe Liberty company, like all good a
substantial companies, do not believe ^
la having their "ecrgs in one basket" j ?
aid have secured over 46,-000 acre? B
of leases in territory that has oil indic&tions,
or in proven territory. They' P
have four Standard rigs at work in rr
four separa'te fields and will start ^
i
other rigs in the near future. They 0

rot nity wens aunng iuis. vvaen seen ^
at their new offices in the Northern
Hotel block this week, the manager,,
Mr. George C. Chrisman, said that he j ^
was too old to go to the front, but ^
" goincr to do his "bit" by furnishing *T
all the oil possible to help win the H
war. | V
The company has over $100,000 0i
worth of equipment, all paid for and ^
four rigs running night and day. 'Some is
near pro_ iction and one which has 11
just "spudded in" and they should cer- y<
tainly do their share towards help- iT1
ing to increase the much needed crude J ^
and refined oil that is so necessary ^
in carrying on the war to a success- ! n
fal close. So far tne company has jir
^ only sold 12 jSer cent or its treasury "
stock and so SS per cent is still in
Ifel^the treasury. This is a wonderful -r
record for any company and is due tl
i? a great measure to the careful h
management of the affairs of. the ! ei
?ame. Unlike most companies there > ni
are no large salaried officers to eat t?
? into the cream-of the treasury sroc4c.; a.
All money received goes to the devel- j pi
opment of the company's holdings, n
and that is why it is possible for; t(
them to make such a good showing, j ^
To talk with Mr. Chrisman for only j
a few moments would convince any tl
and will make it a winner from start j n
to finish. The fact that it has been j ^
jOB-sible to raise over $130,000 up to r>
December 1st, and only coet the com- j
pany leas than fifteen per cent means
something to the careful investor, j
They are putting on a' lar?:e
of stocks at 15 cents per share for j t?
quick results. March 1st the stock
will be advanced to 20 cents per share iT
? J J.U Ml ? 1
ctnu trauu uiuuiu win see a raise until
they hare secured an amount large ! *
enough to complete at least forty or : t*
fifty wells. The stock will then be
taken off the market. As Mr. Chris.1
wan says: !"We have a good thing' '
and want t6 let the people in it at 1
this time. Had it not been for the fact ,
8l]
that the government needs the oil;
r<
so badly we would not hare attempt- i
6<
ed to put down so many wells, but we | ^
feel that we must do our share at
once, and at the same time make big
* fc
money for our stockholders while do- * .
> Ing it. We are going to give the pub- |"
lie fair warning that they can get In i ^
now?but not later?that is, after we ,
^ "have secured enough funds to guaran- .
tee the results desired."
Had the Liberty company only just
their holdings at Elk Basin, it would j a
be a safe investment. Their lines of ;

that thev are hound to get Droducer? '

in a very few hundred feet where j
they are nov, drilling. ?TCth the com- i S(
pany's other holdings in good fileds ^
where oil indications are very promsi
isins: they are doubly good as an investment.
The fact that they already s
have Ttearlv SfftO OftO 1-n pfuHnmont oil l e

them something verv substantial to 0

Mrs. Emmn Wilkins. 4$ in years, [
ut age-old in grief, has it In supremo |
neasure. J
ihe has lost six sons, a husband, i
i brother and four other relatives in \
|
ivai.
A sacred mission brought Mrs.
kVilkins here from her Canadian horns
?the fulfillment of a promise to one
)f her dead sons. And she has re- s
nained to be an inspiration to Amercan
womanhood soon to know thv*
personal griefs of war.
Hear her story:
"My three oldest sons," ,she said, |
"had been in English territory regi-'
nents, as boy recruits. They crossed j
rom Montreal with the second Cana_
lian contingent. I saw them at the j
)ier there the last time on earth.
4!V:iiliani and Geor-e, the two old- i
?st, were killed at Mons, and'their J
;tep-brothers with them. The third j
;on, Edward, my brother, and , a
>rother-in-law, Lieut. King, fell at j
he battle of Ypres.
"The instant my three youngest
ions, Arthur, Albert and Edward, .
> i
leard of the death of their brothers
hey came to me, standing very
traight, and the oldest said:
! I
" 'Mother, it is time we were go-!
ner Will vnn rnmp alnnfr nml hpln
is through?' j!
"I packed up for the journey and ;
ve sailed for England, our old home..
rhere the boys said farewell and I ^
vas left alone. j
"Gcinsr to visit relatives, I found J ^
ny sister brrnded a raving lunatic by j
he war. It was her husband, Lieut. #
ting, who had fallen with my older j'
>oys. i
"While I was in Kent I was struck .
>y a flying fragment during a Zeppe- j ^
in raid and so severely wounded that j ^
n operation was ncessary.
"Then I hastened to Devonport,!
vhich was filled with the wives, moth- j1
rs, and sweethearts of British men ! 1
it sea, and there I wait<H vainly for 5
ome word of my three remaining (
?oys.
"Words are not vivid enough to
>icture the terror I witnessed here !

eached Devonport. Streets around j i
he admiralty office were jammed 1
rith weeping, shouting women clam-'s
ring for news of their loved ones 1 1
hroughout the night. 1
"Children, lost and* crying, stumped
about the streets with no one , \
iut the tired nolice paying any atten-!
ion to the tots. I
"And when the news came in that, j
5,000 British sailors had been lost, I
aw at least 20 women go mad.

Actualy drilling operations began
on Monday morning by the Liberty

yesterday satisfactory progress
is being made. The drilling operations
areHn charge of W. E. Adamson,

The farmer can win this war. j
Only by famine does the Kaiser hope
to conquer?famine by force of the submarine.
If the submarine brings England
and France to their knees, begging
-bread in the humiliation of defeat,
the Kaiser will then turn upon
the United States.
England and France can be saved
from famine by the farmers of the
United States and Canada in spite of
the submarine, if they will. The submarine
will sink food that England
and France 90 sorely needs but the
submarine can not sink enough to
starve our allies, if the firmer of the
United States will raise maximum
crops, raise every pound and save every
pound of foods he possibly can.
It's a fight, therefore, between the
farmer of the United States on the
one hand and the gaunt wcilf of the
Kaiser, famine, on the other hand.
If the American farmer can raise
enough to allow for the submarine
toll and enough more food to place
"over there" to feed those who are
fighting, then victory is ours.
But it's a narrow margin. The
whole wo?M is on the verge of starvation.

The length of time necessary in sinking
the-.well will depend entirely on
the formation of the rock encountered
and the depths it will be necessary
to go. According to Mr. Adamson, the

The development of the oil re|

lack. The American farmer must
awaken to a serious realization that
this is no small task, in fact, it is
only a fighting chance.
If the American farmer will oniy
realize this, then he must recognize
that every b?ow he makes must count
for the utmost.' Maximum yields
must he striven for as never before.
This is no time to leave anything
unemphasized that will count for f
greater yields. Efficiency must oper-j

breaking tlie soil deeply to garnering
the crops with a saving hand.
Thorough preparation of the seed
bed may be accomplished with less
labor than is customary, by the use
of labor saving farm machinery.
Liberal and rational applications of
plant food should be made this year.
Fartners who never used commercial
fertilizers before should certainlv
do so now for the nation's sake.
The same modern, labor saving
farm machinery that will euable a
