A WORD TO OUR
FAfflLY OF READERS
The Jonrnal-Record Manager Talks Contldentlally for Publication!
TO AVOID MISUNDERSTANDINGS,
With the advent, this week, of the consolidated F*lora Journal-Record, an event ions wished tpr has happen¬ ed. From a {>olltlcal, bualness and economic standpoint there was no really good reason why the two pa¬ pers should not be published' as o unit*. .
In the consummation of the merg¬ er, our big family of readers—now nearing the two thousand .mark, haye a. vital Interest In the policy of the Journal-Record, and we now take you Into ou^ confidence.
The paper will be conducted In a political and business way very mucii after, the style prevailing during the past year in conduct of the Record. Politically Republican, It will not be mean or unnecessarily radical or per¬ sonal. Believing in Republican prin¬ ciples and policies, the Journal-Rec¬ ord wlll advocate these Ideas In a fair and broad spirU.
In a business way subscriptions wlll be cash-tn-advance to all, at $2.00 "a year, but we do not require a full year's payment In advance. Many of our subscribers renew with $1.00 payments for a six months' period, which Is perfectly satisfac¬ tory. Job printing and advertising are to be settled for every 30 days— as at present.
We have an excellent news service and expect to. give our advertisers real service during 1921, for our own prosperity is Inseparably connected with the continued success of our business and professional people.
Our policy shall be for moral spiritual and material progress for Flora and Clay county. We have the utmost confidence in Flora's future, and -win also work with might and main to assist the progressive far¬ mers to establish a county farm bur¬ eau and call a county agent. Modern methods are necessary In farming, for in Clay county's soil lies the hope of future prosperity of the common- ir-wealth.
K We want your business—subscrlp- ^jns, advertising, job printing, news itbms—and hope to merit all. We like Flora—desire to live here per¬ manently—and expect to give every¬ one a square deal, for we have mal¬ ice toward none, and In this spirit we enter the larger business opportunity of 1921 with faith in the future pf Flora and Clay county. With the booster spirit of attalnltig to great¬ er and better things—let's everyone cooperate In community building.

PROPOSED NODERN HOSPITAL FOR FLORA
Tno   Meetings   of  ComnM>rclal   Clnb
Held to Consider the
Matter.
CHICAGO MAN PRESENT.
Some three weeks since a meeting ot the Flora Commercial Club was held to consider the proposition ot erecting and equipping a modem hospital building In the city of Flyra. At this meeting a committee ot three. Dr. N; W. Bowman, Dr. C. E. Dun¬ can and H. F. Pixley was appointed by President E. E. Allen, to further Investigate the proposition.
The Ward Systems Co., of Chicago and New York, had previously writ¬ ten physicians and other citizen^, submitting a questionnaire as to the need of a hospital and the desirabil¬ ity of Flora as a location. The com¬ pany makes a specialty of financial drives for cities and towns and has been quite successful.
The idea is to raise sufflclont funds by subscriptions tp organise a co'-ii ration, not tor pecuniary pro¬ fit, and thus provide financial means tor a community hospital.
A second meeting of the Com¬ mercial Club was held VVednesday nlgbt at the city hall, and was ad¬ dressed by E. H. Davey, special rep¬ resentative ot the Ward people, and at the close ot his talk many ques¬ tions were asked. It was the unani¬ mous opinion of citizens assemlebd that we should have a modern hos¬ pital and the financial problem was the only obstacle. Four were add¬ ed to the previously appointed com¬ mittee, namely: P. H. Simpson, R. H. Grant, Mrs. C. O. Riggle and Mrs. E; D. Yeck, and the committee wax authorized to make further investi¬ gation.

As Indicated last week drilling for oil on the Jesse Curry tarm. 5 miles southeast ot Flora began last Friday. At a depth ot about 45 feet the first fresh water sand was found. This was easily cased out and drilling continued. At lOS teet was tound the first limestone and at 152 teet a two-foot vein of coal was struck.
At 199 teet the drill struck anoth¬ er fresh water sand strata and the water raised to the level ot the ground. Apparently an Inexhaust¬ ible underground lake. This lake proved to be 49 feet deep and so In¬ terfered with tho drilling, thai after pounding away for tbree teet Into a black slate below It was determined to draw the casing so as to straight ream the hole In order to case off the water with the same size casing.
Up to this time 12Vi Inch casing had been used and It was deemed de¬ sirous to not lessen the size until a much Ipwer depth was reached. - A message was sent to Lawrence¬ vllle for this Instrument but It was learned It could not be had short ot Robinson. It Is expected to arrive this afternoon and work will be re¬ sumed. As evidence ot an entirely different formation of earth strata at this point as compared with the two other deep wells drilled In this
fection. the first limestone struck at he Ebner Ice Co's well was at 650 feet, while at the Brown well 3 miles west ot the city, the limestone was tound at 640 teet depth.
