The Illinois Pipe Line Co. has compieted its Tine to the Hance field, and is running the oil from the Ohio. Kentucky reported its usual num-’ ber of good wells, most of them in Lee county.

Inclement weather conditions in nve also added materially to in the Texas field. High water ow- ing to e: ive rainfall has threat- jened many fields with flood accord- ing to reports while the heavy winds and tornadoes have caused millions of dollars worth of property loss.

The campaign that will be in force in Casfer during the fifth Liberty Loan Drive is being outlined by the enthusiastic workers of the men’s and wonien’s committees, and if their en- thusiasm is taken as a keynote of the success of the drive here an early arrival at Casper’s quota can be ex- pected, B. H. Pelton, county chairman of the drive, has been confined to his home for the past week but he has been able to keep in continual con- ference with his committees by tele- phone. M. C. Clarkson, chairman of the city committee, will arrive home from the east soon and will take up the active work of lining up his assist- ants. While in the eust Mr. Clark- son will confer with bankers and government officials relative to the best plans of making the coming loan a popular success. Mrs. Oliver Johnson, chairman of the woman’s committee, has ~ been very successfub in arrarfging the plans of the women’s organization and in lining up assistants. A meeting of the women’s committee will be held sometime next week at the Henning hotel, which will be in the nature of a get-together meeting for out- lining the efforts of the women’s committee. Too much cannot be.said in favor of the Mothers’ League, the organiza- tion having come to the relfef of the Liberty Loan committee and donated the use of their room in the Oil Ex- ‘change building which is now occu- pied by the Richter Music company and which will be vacated April 15. The Mothers’ League has never miss- ed an opportunity to help. Until April 15, the Loan commit- tee will use the rest room at the Citizen’s State Bank which has been donated for the use of the workers by the management of the bank. Elaborate arrangements to stimu- late interest in the Fifth Liberty Loan is being made by the various jcommittees. When the drive finally jopens, parades, free shows, stirring peeches and many other enthusiasin stimulators will be resorted to in or- jder to get the drive under way. Arrangements are being made now to draft into service all former mem- tbers of the Four-Minute Men for |the duration of the drive, It is ex- Mpected that these speakers by giv- ing short outlines of the needs of jthe government will help greatly in jthe success of the coming drive in [ Casper. | ‘NOTHWESTERN TOBUILO ~ ROUNDHOUSE AND SHOPS AT LUSK; otTE BOUGHT LUSK, Wyo., April 11.—Lusk is to have a round house, shops and | yards.
