Maloney Oil Well Is Making a Good Showing The oil well drilled by the Rockford Oil Co, on the Joe Maloney farm in. Blue Creek township gives indications of being a better producer than had at first been anticipated. The wi II was shot two weeks ago and at that time showed no signs of becoming a producer. A strong flow of gas however escaped from the well. It was thought however, ’that the well had been shot too deep. Since the well has been shot, oil has been pumped. A stand of 800 fee t of the fluid in the pipe was reported a few days after the shooting Tim well is now being pumped off, producing a flow of about seven barteis daily. The Rockford company is optimistic about their oil prospects and expect to drill another well on the Maloney farm in a short time.

DeYoung, a public-spirited citizen of San Francisco, to build a museum in which to bouse his own and other collections and present it to the city. Two appropriate buildings of Egyptian style, each 140 feet wide and 510 feet long, joined by a broad corridor supporting a beautiful tower, compose this museum. Salmon-tinted, and set uown amid pleasingly landscaped gardens in Golden Gate park, this ensemble presents an imposing appearance. The forty-five galleries contain more than one million objects. Their value Is fabulous. The extent, oddity, variety, and completeness of the displays is amazing. There are priceless oil paintings from the brushes of the masters; engravings of great value from many countries and of many periods; the celebrated Kunz collection containing specimens of every type of precious and semi-precious stone; coins from practically every country on the globe ; n collection of reproductions of the crown jewels of the world; a collection of drums, some of which may have called warriors to battle in far-off lands; samples of precious needlework and laces dating back to the Eleventh century ; the great Dore vase of bronze, 10 feet tall, weighing about 6,000 pounds and valued at $250,000; tapestries, rich, rare, and beautiful; a pair of enormous Hons )t clolssoune. made for the Imperial nalace at Peking, China ; two giant bronze lanterns some ten feet tall, from the Temple of Nau-so-San.

A”Laminat«d" - ■** Special F»»tur« of Autoutn Construction , 1 This Body is Really Squeak-proof and Rattle-proof! SLAM the doors, pull on the body sides, try the strength and sturdiness of the Six Supreme body m any way you know. Then ask us how it is done. It’s a new idea in body construction — tlie use of a laminated wood built up of thin layers firmly glued together. That’s the way they built aeroplanes during the war. The curved parts of this body are bent, not cut to shape, and very heavily ironed in place. It will remain squeak-proof and rattle-proof for the life of the car. But the body is only one feature of a great car — the greatest car ever produced at or near its price. The motor has wonderful power and pick up and more speed than you can use. Come in or phone us. See the car and drive it. You will appreciate that it has hundreds of dollars more value than is represented by the price — $1725.
