SEDAN
In the Reo Sedan you find the elegant appointments and
luxurious equipment that are demanded by the most exacting
buyers. In upholstery and interior finish it is beyond compare.
There arc many distinctive features about Reo automo
biles that are different from all other cart.
Take for instance, the patented oiling device whereby the
overhead valve rocker arms arc perfectly lubricated at all
times by a force oil pump. This is 6trictly a Reo feature and
a mighty valuable one, as it prevents wear and noiso that
eventually come to the ordinary overhead valve engine.
. The four-bearing crankshaft is unusual to most six-cylinder
cars. The Reo has it. This makes for a more rigid
crank, which practically eliminates vibration and the pound
ing so common to the three-bearing crank Six.
Multiple disc clutch.
A Rayfield carbureter that is automatic in its adjustment
bo that your car works as good in extremely cold weather as
it does in. the summer time.
. Royal Cord tires all around as a regular equipment.
Fifty horsepower engine with 3100 pound car a perfect
balance.
.id!
Standardization of parts, so that practieally every part
in this new Reo will fit all models back to 1912.
' The Reo is no experiment. It is one of the very oldest
cars on the market, having built good cars before many of
its competitors ever dreamed of making them.. The Reo aim
is not to make the most cars in the world, but to make the
best. Factory has never made enough Reos to go' around
the demand is greater than the supply each year.
Then the Reo slogan "Fifty Per Cent Oversize'' is a
mighty good feature for the man who owns a car. Being
made one-half stronger than is necessary in every vital part,
makes for long life and endurance in special times of stress.
H'b really hard to break a Reo.
The up-to-date lines of this new Six make for beauty as
well as quality, and the combination of these two features
is all anyone could ask for in an automobile.
Let your new car be a REO.
"The Gold Standard of Values."

year. During tnts year mere nas
been a great revival In the potential
oil Del da In anticipation of the pas
sage of a law permitting the lean
ing of Alaskan oil lands. No legal
provision has been made for the
leasing of these lands although it Is
believed that an abundance of oil lie
in the Alaska peninsula.
Four thousand barrels of crude oil
a new record for winter months
were added to Wyoming's production
by November operations in the fields
of the state. In view of strike con
ditions and the worst November
weather recorded in recent years, the
showing Is considered remarkable.
The effects of the steel strike will not
be felt until later, although the start
of many new operations has been de
layed. The new production come?
from twenty-eight completions, eight
of which were dry and four gassers,
as compared with thirty-one comple
tions In October, bIx dry and two
gassers. Five hundred rigs are up,
of which 344 are drilling, while the
previous month showed the same
number drilling out of a total ot
480 up. The gain In new rigs Is con
sidered encouraging to future opera
tions as the majority were erected
under extreme difficulties.
Lance creek and Sale creek each
reported 1,000 barrels of new pro
duction for the month, the former
from three completions and Salt
creek from two wells. Lance creek
had one dry completion and one
ganger, rated as the biggest In the
field. Sale creek has twenty-four
rigs working and Lance creek fifty-nine.
The Rock river and Medicine Bow
district Ms credited with nine hun
dred barrels froiu two producers, two
of the completions of the month bo
ng dry. Sixty-three rigs are up In
the district, of which forty-two are
drilling.
In the .Dig Muddy two new wells
are credited with 125 -barrels each
Out of a total of twenty-one rigs up,
only one is not drilling.
Four companies are reported In
the Warm Springs, Grass creek and
Thermopolls region, of which three
are capable of producing 190 bar
rels of oil and one Is dry. Twenty
four rigs are drilling out of twenty
seven up.
The Big Horn Basin completed
three wells, one a gasser and two
failures, but drilling is going ahead
on twenty-seven other tests and five
additional rigs are up.
Fremont county had no comple
tions but reported twenty-nine wells
drilling and bIx rigs standing.
Miscellaneous operations account
for nine other wells, only one of
them dry. with an aggregate produc
tlon of 650 barrels, and 119 drilling
wells, many of them wildcats. Thir
ty of these are drilling In Lost Sol
dier and Carbon county, where no
new production was encountered dur
tng the past month.
The New York OH company is to
; build a gas pipe line from the Folson
piaer neia or wyommg to me city
of Casper in the spring, according
to announcement made this week
OIL NOTES
The state of New Mexico is now
experiencing an oil boom. Accord
ing to information collected by the
Albuquerque Journal, there are at
present in the state fifty-two drill
ing wells, five of which are over 2.
000 feet deep and two over 2,700
feet. There are approximately 107
wells under contract and it is esti
mated that at least three hundred
geologists are i nthe state working
for oil concerns. The tesis for oil,
as planned, will cover nearly the en
tire state and some oil has already
been found in four counties Mc Kin
ley, San Juan, Chaves And Eddy.
The wells are small ones thus far,
but they prove that oil Is there. The
best showing is in McKinley county,
Practically all the state-owned lands
In New Mexico have been leaved to
oil companies except some tract in
the mountains of Taos and Rio Ar
riba counties.
The suggestion of Lloyd Thomas
of Alliance while in Lincoln laat
week, in an interview published in
the eastern Nebraska dailies, that a
natural gas pipe line from the Lance
creek field to eastern Nebraska be
considered, has met with consider
able Interest on the part of eastern
Nebraska capitalist and fuel con
sumer a swell as on the part of oil
jnen in eastern Wyoming. Mr.
Thomas received a lengthy letter this
week from a Lance creek superin
tendent for one of the big companies,
with additional information regard
ing the gas production there. This
authority states that although none
of the Lance creek gas wells have
been iorrectly gauged or measured
he is sue that an estimate of 180
million cubic feet per day capacity
would not be an overestimate. He
states that gas would be much better
to handle than the oil and at less
expense. At present the outlook for
gas is good for many years to come.
The last gas well that the Midwest
bought in is estimated at 60 million
cubic feet per day. The Midwest has
two gas wells, the Ohio has one and
the Buck Creek OH company has two.
All of the wells show heavy rock
pressure and seem to have a good
source of supply. Thl authority
also says that it would not be a hard
thing to pipe the gas to eastern Ne
braska as gas from the Oklahoma
fields is piped much longer distances
with good results. There has been
some talk of piping the gas to Den
ver from the Lance creek field.
The Midwest Oil company Is erect
ing a rig on section 27-36-35 in the
Lance creek field, nortjh of the big
gas well and drilling will be started
before the end of the month.
According to the United States ge
ological survey the petroleum pro
duction "of Alaska is derived from a
single patented claim in the Katalla
oil field. The old wells on this claim
and the refinery were operated as
usual in 1918. The new productive
well were drilled in in this field last
SPECIAL OFFICER
ENDS LONG SEARCH
Webb Suffered 20 Years Trouble
Overcome After He Takes
Tanlac
"This Tanlac is Just the thing I
have been looking for twenty long
years," was the statement made to
a Tanlac representative recently by
John Webb, a special officer on the
C, B. & Q. railroad, living at 121
Cliff St., Kansas City, Mo.
"I had suffered so long," contln
ued Mr. Webb, "and could find noth
lng at all that would relieve me, that
I thought my age had about gotten
the best of me and I would have to
bear my troubles the best I could as
long as I lived. My stomach was in
such an awful fix that I was in mis
ery all the time. My appetite was
poor, and I was so nervous that any
kind of noise out of the ordinary
would make me Jump like I was shot
at. Nearly all the time I had head
aches and dizzy spells, and I becam
so wear that it was a Job for me to
get about and all the time I felt
stuffy and draggy.
"I had taken every medicine I had
heard of when I started taking Tan
lac, and I didn't expect Tanlac to do.
me any good for none of the other
medicines had helped me any, but I
went on and took it Just to feel sat
isfied that I had tried everything
had ever heard of. And I want to
tell you I have never been so sur
prised in all my life. Yes, sir, Tan
lac went right to my old troubles
and has knocked them sky high and
put me in the very best of health
I don't believe my stomach was ever
in better shape for I can eat any'
thing I want and not have a sign of
Indigestion or gas afterwards. My
nerves are steady an'l I lon't have
any more headaches or dizzy spells
and I feel built up in every way and
have gained ten pounds in weight
When a medicine brings a fellow'
health back like Tanlac has don
mine, I think he ought to tell every
body about it, and that is Just the
reason why I am triad to give this
statement and receiniucud Tanlac to
suffering people."

What Can We Say
to make you commence saving? Everyone will tell you it is a profit
able habit to cultivate, you realize it yourself, and still it is difficult
to take the first step.
Why not take about three minutes after you read this ad and figure
the matter out definitely for yourself and then act on your deci
sion. Ask yourself
First: Do I want to save? Hardly a hesitation to this answer.
Reasons will flock to your thoughts: Next year's Christmas
presents, investments, emergencies, etc.
Second: How best can I do it? We offer the suggestion that you
join our Christmas Savings Club. It affords you a conservative,
regular, profitable form of savings that will recommend itself
to you instantly upon explanation. Determine an amount you
can save with some sacrifice and deposit it each week.
Now that you have decided one way or another, the next and by
far the most important step is to act upon your decision. Make a
special trip to The First State Bank, deposit your first installment
and know that you have begun. The rest is easy. You will not
notice it after a week or so. Next year at this time you will under
stand the good features of this plan.
Christmas Saving Clubs
