GERMAN TREATY STROKE PRAISED BY WADSWORTH Harding Administration Entitled to Fame Because of Separate Arrangement Without Entanglements Peace with Germany by treaty which respects the rights of America is stated by Senator James W. Wadsworth, Jr., of New York, chairman of the committee on military affairs, to be sure of immediate ratification. He says: "No finer stroke of diplomacy adorns the annals of our state department. With the constant approval and support of the president, Secretary Hughes, dealing frankly, simply and directly with the German government, has closed the great incident and placed the government and people of the United States where they belong—in a position of dignity, strength and self-respect. The treaty will be submitted to the senate for its approval. There can be little doubt of favorable action upon it. Had the Harding administration done nothing else, its achievement in thus untangling and setting right our foreign relations would justly entitle it to fame. And when one realizes how promptly and simply it was done one cannot help smiling at the dismal prophecies of those who believed or pretended to believe that the only way was the league of nations way. "But the president and his secretary of state were not content with this achievement. They knew, as all men know, that the people of the world are staggering under a terrible burden of taxation; that a goodly portion of this burden is due to the vast armaments which the principal nations have been maintaining. They felt, too, that the United States might be drawn into this race for armed superiority, thus subjecting our people to the burden of excessive armaments in the generations to come. They feared, as many states" NOTES FROM THE OIL FIELDS The Richfield oil district is averaging a new producing well a week Wells in the old reliable field come in all the way from 500 to 2000 barrels if they come in at all. Selby-Root-Hogue Oil company, one of the smaller concerns in the field, completed its No. 5 at 2900 feet and the new producer came in at 800 barrels. This is the third well for the Selby-Root-Hogue company on the Wardman-Claxon lease, a small property, and gives the owners a daily production of close to 2000 barrels. The next big Richfield producer is scheduled for the Standard Oil company on the famous Kraemer No. 2 property. Well No. 15, now drilling at 4250 feet, is showing a lot of oil and gas and probably will make another big one. On the Vejar lease the Standard drilled a test well to 5100 feet and finding no oil, abandoned the well. On the Loftus-O'Bryan holdings a test well was drilled to 5097 feet and not a showing of oil was found. The Standard Oil company seldom quits a property without going 5000 feet or deeper. This always insures a satisfactory test. The Petroleum Midway found some deep water in the deep test well, Richfield-Yorba No. 3, and recieved at 4157 feet. Drilled to 4567 feet, this well has not shown up very strong as yet and there seems to be some question about deep drilling in the extreme east side of the Richfield district. However, the Petroleum Midway well may tell a different story when the water is shut off and conditions for producing improved. On the Krug property the Petroleum Midway continues to develop with wonderful success. Krug No. 4, brought in a few weeks ago, is doing better than 1300 barrels, and No. 5 is about ready to bring in, and it is likely to be a big well. THE NATIONAL The oil industry largely suffered a fatal leum, is now in a less than a year's eras and statistics show that country's future predicted direfully existing shortages menting the evils. The fact is that it has been more than nearly depleted again being this is due part production, but no demand. In led to an abnormal finally outstripping war requirement abnormal war-timeed, but an unusual situation has reduced mal times. A last suit.

It must that every barrel ground diminished. The certain re of state were not content with this achievement. They knew, as all men know, that the people of the world are staggering under a terrible burden of taxation; that a goodly portion of this burden is due to the vast armaments which the principal nations have been maintaining. They felt, too, that the United States might be drawn into this race for armed superiority, thus subjecting our people to the burden of excessive armaments in the generations to come. They feared, as many statesmen in other countries have feared, that this race in armaments, if permitted to go on much longer, would plunge the world into bankruptcy and its people into misery and despair, resulting in violent upheaps, destructive revolutions, and perhaps another world war. When the Republican party rejected the league of nations, with its super-government, it rejected at the same time the philosophy of peace maintained by force and clung to the oft-expressed American hope that peace can best be maintained by appeal to reason. The widespread suffering endured by the peoples as a result of colossal armaments opened to our government an opportunity legitimately and properly to lead the way toward a solution which would relieve mankind of its burdens. This nation above all others is disinterested. Its motives are trusted and its ideals are recognized. Accordingly, the president, with a vision that is world-wide and human, invited the governments of the great powers to join with the government of the United States in a conference to be held at Washington on November 11, next. Those governments have gladly accepted the invitation and are to send their leading statesmen to confer with the representatives of our government upon this great question of the limitation of armaments. "But the president went further than this and suggested that the conference discuss the far eastern and Pacific questions. This phase of the conference is to many minds the most significant and important. It is to be doubted that armaments of and by themselves are a cause of war. Rather is it true that great armaments result from friction, suspicion and fear of war. Some point of contact between nations breed rivalry growing into hatred, finally terminating in armed conflict. The great armament prepared in advance is the fruit of forces working far beneath the surface—the forces of human passions." On the Krug property the Petroleum Midway continues to develop with wonderful success. Krug No. 4, brought in a few weeks ago, is doing better than 1300 barrels, and No. 5 is about ready to bring in, and it is likely to be a big well. The Richfield-Giant will not go on production as soon as was scheduled a couple of weeks ago. Water trouble held up the well. Success has crowned the cementing and now some delay has come about on account of having sidetrack some pipe and get the hole cleaned out down to the bottom. 4200 feet, where an excellent showing of oil was struck. The Richfield-Giant has an oil well, but the actual bringing in of the well is held up on account of mechanical troubles. The management of the Giant is making a special effort to bring the well in right. What is expected to be the deepest well in southern California is now being drilled by the Amalgamated Oil company at Butterworth in the Santa Fe Springs field. At 4685 feet this well is drilling in a hard shall and to date has not shown any indication of oil. The only hope left is in what will be found under the present shell formation. The Amalgamated well is 100 feet deeper than the Union Oil company's famous Meyer No. 3, the only producer in the field. Meyer No. 3 was completed at 4595 feet and produces ninety barrels daily of thirty-seven-gravity oil. The Union Oil company has two wells drilling in the field. Meyer Nos. 4 and 5. Both wells are down 4400 feet and have not yet struck the sand. So far the Santa Fe Springs field is not attracting any shallow field work and probably will not be overrun with small companies. In the Bixby Hills the Bixby Ranch syndicate is making an effort to prove something. Drilling on this wildcat well has passed the 4600-foot marsh and no oil has been found. For several hundred feet the formation has been running in reddish brown shale. According to geology this formation shows that at one time in the earth's history ooil was there, but evidently it is not there now. Work has been temporarily suspended on the Westminster Oil company's deep wildcat test well at Westminster.

Don't pour it out where the hens will drink it before it can soak into the ground. The material is rather poisonous if taken internally. Where some of the sodium fluorid in dust form reaches the body of the operator, and is allowed to remain for several hours, local irritation and burning may occur on tender parts of the skin. In dusting large flocks it is better to use a table rather than to hold the fowls between the knees. The solution does not injure the hands, even when dipping is continued for several hours, except where there are cores, which may become slightly irritated. Don't allow sodium fluorid solution to remain in galvanized vessels a great length of time. It is best not to keep it overnight in tubs or galvanized containers; as it will injure them. A very young widow always seems to be struggling between what she considers her duty, to appear sad, and her inclination, to appear glad. Drilling on this wildcat well has passed the 4600-foot mark and no oil has been found. For several hundred feet the formation has been running in reddish brown shale. According to geology this formation shows that at one time in the earth's history ool was there, but evidently it is not there now. Work has been temporarily suspended on the Westminster Oil company's deep wildcat test well at Westminster. Drilling was carried to 4438 feet and not a showing of oil worthy of any consideration was found from the top to the bottom. However, just before drilling was stopped a brown shale formation was struck at 4425 feet. The Westminster Oil company as a company will not do any further development work for the time being. It is understood that outside capital may take the well and drill a few hundred feet deeper. The Standard Oil company had some luck at Garden Grove. The Garden Grove well was held up for more than a month with a string of tools in the hole at 3238 feet. The tools have been recovered and the drilling is now going ahead. The Garden Grove well to date has not shown any oil indications and production is not expected now, if at all, short of 4000 or 4200 feet. The Petroleum Midway company has abandoned the Bennett well at Buena Park. A little over 2400 feet of hole was made when serious mechanical troubles made further progress virtually impossible. It would have been necessary to move the rig and redrill the well. It seems that the Petroleum Midway did not consider the chances for a well very good and moved the rig and equipment to Signal Hill, Long Beach.

Less than a year ago commercial writers and statisticians are agitated about the country's future supply of oil and predicted direful results from the then existing shortage. Today they are lamenting the evils of over-production. The fact is that the shortage of 1920 has been more than supplanted and the nearly depleted stocks of fuel oil are again being built up to normal. This is due partly to an increased production, but chiefly to a decrease in demand. In the east war conditions led to an abnormal production which finally outstripped the extraordinary war requirements. Not only has the abnormal war-time demand now ceased, but an unusual industrial depression has reduced the demand of normal times. A large surplus is the result. On the Pacific coast the condition is somewhat healthier in that production did not substantially exceed the demand; the present reduction in normal demand leaves a less marked surplus. In point of fact, the Pacific coast today is unable to meet the demands upon it for gasoline. Though there is a surplus of fuel oil occasioned by the falling requirements of shipping and industries generally, the importations of gasoline continue for the supply of points properly tributary to the California oil companies. In any event, the oil industry, which successfully solved its own problems throughout the period of the war, may be expected to handle the present situation with equal efficiency. Furthermore, an ample supply of the raw material upon which the oil industry depends need not alarm friends of the business. It must be remembered that every barrel of oil taken from the ground diminishes the visible supply. In-law be considered such. He came here recently for a loan. 'I am worth only $300,000,' he said, 'but my brothers and brothers-in-law and I together are worth $1,000,000, and you needn't worry, Mr. X. If I can't pay the loan my family will.' And, of course, they would. "The Jews are succeeding, not because they are so much smarter or brighter than the older Americans, or because they are more honest as business men, but solely because they are willing to save. I believe that most of the more recently arrived peoples are distinctly inferior in most ways to the older American stock; but the outstanding trait of the older American, as I see it in my business here, is his unwillingness to acquire money by saving and his insistence upon getting it by making a hit or a killing. Meanwhile these other people are steadily saving and as a result steadily sustaining the older native." The immigration problem does not consist solely in keeping out further hordes of undesirables, or even in assimilating what we have. It consists in some degree at least fn. the older natives learning from those who have more lately come a little of their persistence in thrift. The older American kids himself by saying that he cannot save without lowering his living standards. The truth is that In far too many cases he does not save because he will not be bothered with petty things. It is not that the few dollars a week saved will reduce his living standards; it is that he expects shortly to make a fortune and therefore sees no point in bothering with small savings. He is always waiting for something big to turn up instead of bit by bit turning it up himself.—Saturday Evening Post. CURRENT EVENT TESTS The youth of this land are evidently to the California oil companies. In any event, the oil industry, which successfully solved its own problems throughout the period of the war, may be expected to handle the present situation with equal efficiency. Furthermore, an ample supply of the raw material upon which the oil industry depends need not alarm friends of the business. It must be remembered that every barrel of oil taken from the ground diminishes the visible supply. The certain revival of commercial prosperity will carry with it a growing demand for petroleum and its products. The railroads, manufactures, the United States navy, the navies of the world, and shipping generally, are constantly increasing their requirements for oil. The present-day surplus will soon vanish in times of normal activity unless the search for oil is prosecuted as actively as ever. It is for that reason that the larger companies, whose history reflects these waves of shortage and surplus, are unremitting in their efforts in the search for new fields. Prospecting goes forward with undiminished vigor and new countries are explored. For the need for oil will continue until later generations discover undreamed-of substitutes. The future of the business is bright with the inevitable development of more production and the filling of new demands, and the clouds of the present depression, which today cast a shadow on the petroleum industry, will soon pass. RACE IS NOT TO SWIFT The stranger who visits New York rarely sees anything except Manhattan Island, brilliant, dazzling, congested, the place of hotels, theaters, apartments and tenements. Across the river there is another section, likewise with millions of people, but less congested because there are no natural obstacles to prevent the growth of Brooklyn far out into Long Island. There are many cities of homes in this country, but New York is not commonly thought of in that connection. Indeed it would be placed last on the list in most people's thoughts. But the Long Island portion of New York is full of small homes. Thus the process which is going on there, though no different in kind from that in many other parts of the country, is perhaps more striking because of its metropolitan setting. Reference is had to the American process of satisfying the land hunger bothered with petty things. It is not that the few dollars a week saved will reduce his living standards; it is that he expects shortly to make a fortune and therefore sees no point in bothering with small savings. He is always waiting for something big to turn up instead of bit by bit turning it up himself.—Saturday Evening Post. CURRENT EVENT TESTS The youth of this land are evidently in for a lot of moralizing. First, Thomas A. Edison discovered that college men are "amazingly ignorant," and now comes the Review of Reviews with the results of a current events test among 17,500 college and grade school pupils, in which an average of only forty-four per cent was attained. The test revealed that a lot of young people are growing up in America in the belief that Samuel Gompers is a poet or president of the shipping board, that Lloyd George is king of Ireland, and that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is an advocate of spiritualism. The answers undoubtedly reveal abysmal ignorance of current events, but they are nothing to get excited over. In a manner of speaking, a man can be ignorant and still attain success in life. If the schools of America are giving their pupils a thorough training in the rules of success; if they are instilling in the minds of youths a desire to be something, rather than to have something; if they are stressing the need of concentration and faith and honesty in work—they are doing a great work. After all, the object of our schools is not to turn out living encyclopedias of everyday facts, but to rear real men and women who can take their places in the world and make it better than they found it. "How did you come to discover the law of gravitation?" Sir Isaac Newton was asked. "By constantly thinking about it," he replied. Success is dependent not so much on knowing a lot of facts, as on holding firm to a single purpose, and doing the great thing while refusing the many diversions. Many of America's most successful men could not have told you in 1917 whether Shantung was the name of the latest fox trot or a new ship. One of the great results of the war in America was the knowledge it left of geography, world leaders and current events. Having so recently acquired this knowledge, we take delight New York is not commonly thought of in that connection. Indeed it would be placed last on the list in most people's thoughts. But the Long Island portion of New York is full of small homes. Thus the process which is going on there, though no different in kind from that in many other parts of the country, is perhaps more striking because of its metropolitan setting. Reference is had to the American process of satisfying the land hunger of the dispossessed peoples of the earth. The land is passing—at least great portions of it—to those whom the descendants of Pilgrim Fathers would hardly acknowledge as Americans. Certainly they are but lately come. An infrequent visitor to the Long Island section of New York City recently went to the offices of a company which deals in mortgages, inspects and grants titles to real estate and is a party in other ways to the purchase of homes and real estate in general. He found himself surrounded by many people, a strange, shabby, foreign looking multitude. There were peoples of every kind, and each person there meant that someone had a few thousand dollars, enough at least to provide the equity of landownership. An officer of the company showed the visitor his daily list of transactions, sheet upon sheet, with hundreds upon hundreds of separate individual real estate operations, each involving at least a few thousand saved dollars, and next to practically every transaction was written a distinctly foreign name. The officer expatiated upon the absorption of real estate and other property by Jews as shown so vividly in his daily sheets. "I know a Jew who started as a peddler with practically no capital, unless his equally poor brothers and brothers- Many of America's most successful men could not have told you in 1917 whether Shantung was the name of the latest fox trot or a new ship. One of the great results of the war in America was the knowledge it left of geography, world leaders and current events. Having so recently acquired this knowledge, we take delight in trying it out, to the dismay of the youths of the land. Nevertheless, if history is any criterion, the coming generation will do bigger and better things than their fathers ever dreamed of, and it is well, therefore, to temper our amusement or regrets over the results of question tests. BEGUILED Lured out by the softest glances Of a man, I took my chances At escaping curious eyes; Stole within the forest's edges Where the scent of pine-tree hedges Made the world a paradise. Long I sat with soul enraptured, For the man my heart had captured, Though he spoke no word of love. And the wood throughout was teeming With his presence, while I, dreaming, Saw him gazing from above. To the night bird's song I harkened Till at last the wood was darkened. He had left me all too soon! Now my love I seek to smother, For my charmer was none other Than the Man Up in the Moon!
