W. W. Lemolne, a local business man who, during the open season spends as much time, in the fields as he does in his office, for years base been an inveterate, prospect or for oil, and about half his time on hunting trips was "wasted ' ex ploring woods and irmrehes' for traces of the "black gold." Lemolno went hunting along Bagdad linyou near hero one fine day three years ago and came up on one Tillman, u negro recluse. Tho usual topic of conversation Willi L.emoiue was on, itnu ue oon reached the subject. Tillman knew no oil but ho did know where there was gas. The upshot was V that Lemoino agreed to give Till ' man an annuity of $1H00 a year IT lie would show him where it was und if anything came of it. Tillman led Lemolne straight ucross the country to Indian liay ou. only a few miles from here, and thero in tho edge of a marsh was tho negro's "gas." Lemolne touched a match to II and tt burn ed.

Character Reading Is Easy Look at the Hat LONDON'. (Al) The latest ex plorations Into the realm of ' psy chology show that a man's char acter la revealed hv the wav he puts on his hat, or so at least Dr. I C, W. Kimntins, chief education offtoer, has been telling the Lon don County Council. "If 1 wear my hat well over my forehead it gives mo a solemn. thoughtful appearance." Dr. Kim- mins snid. "When 1 push it back beyond -tho usual position, the whole world knows mo as a happy-go-lucky man. Tilted on the right side 1 am nothing but a rowdy, hut thu minute I let It slide over to the left I lose my social status com pletely, for I become a mental de ficient." london hatters . confirm the truth of what Jr. Kimmins says. and declaru they knew all this long ago. "I always examine my custom ers' hats tin they come into the shop," said one hatter. "Before they have given their order 1 have formed my conclusions with re gard to thu kind of hut they need. "A man with a fashionably shaped bowler tilted forward over his Vight eye will want an expen sive but raslilonublo hat. The man who wears his lid deiid straight will in all probability demand it serviceable hat. and will possibly be particular over the price. . "Men who wear their hats tilted to tho left are- the rarest type. They usually want something out of tho common. lint thero Is a chance that one may misjudge, this last type, they may merely he left-handed."

Japanese news dispatches assert that recently cngim-cra employed by the Japanese eompany located rich oil fielils near the mouth, of the Tym Uiver, on the east Ssiff hulien coast.
