Aro cortaln sections of western Ne braska to becomo oil producing flolds? Weill, not ,to a certainty, but oxporl- oncod oil men intend to ascertain if there is ol,in this section of tho stato and aro willing to .rpond tholr good money in making th'a accessary tests. Tho Tribune has mado noto of tho work that n subsidiary company of tho Standard Oil Co. is doing In Ban- nor county, and now come oxporlonccd oil nwiji from Pittsburgh, Pa., and Cas per, Wyo., and buy oil leases from tho Btato on school land located in Fron tier county, which adjoins Lincoln county on tho south. Those Heasos wore mado Tuesday of this weok. Roswoll Johnson, of Pitts burgh, bid $500 for a section lcaso and In addtion gives tho state a royalty of one-eighth of all oil that may bo found on tho section. I. T. Hannold, of tho Midwest Oil Co., of Caspar, Wyo., a subsidiary of tho Standard OH Co., also loused a section on tho samo Perms, and two other parties representing tho Midwest Co. mado similar bids. Tho peoplo making th'tke bids aro not novices in tho oil game Uiey aro oxporlonccd in prospecting and boring for oil, and it Is not likely tlioy would spend tholr good money prospecting If they did not think tho prospects for oil woro good. It has been claimed for sVerni yoars that tho formations under North Platte aro similar to Uiose of tho Salt Crock oil flold In Wyoming which pro duces the highest test oil in the United, States, If this is true, who knows but that somo day this city may becomo tho center of an oil producing territory. : :o: : Less Wheat mil Moro Corn. "Eat moro corn and less wheat," is being urged by food conservationists, and the plea should bo heeded. Corn is moro plentiful than wleat, and on tho whole it is a moro efficient food You may not like corn, but you can learn to liko it, and after you cdltivato a hankering for it, you would not bo without it 'even if it cost four times as much as it docs. Tho man who cats three or four slices of well-bak ed "Johnny-cako" well spread with maple syrup, jfeo'.s as though hid would need nothing moro for thirty-six hours. If you don't believo it ask Judge Grimes, who was raised in In diana. -::o:: 10 HOLD ON! TO YOUR MONEY UNTIL Saturday, Oct. 13th Read Our Large Circulars See Window Display.
