OIL FIELD NOTES Huntington Beach continues to furnish the thrills in the way of oil producers. One of the most remarkable records is the one that the Eddystone Oil company’s Davenport No. 1 is making. This well came in a month ago at 350 barrels. The production has steadily climbed until now it is up to a 1000 barrels. The Eddystone’s Huff, announced a few days ago at 4440 feet a 300 barrel well, is not a completed project. The production was the result of a production test for water. Now the string of 6 inch is going in and the well will be drilled into the deep oil sands. The Pacific Oil and Gas company has completed its No. 1 at 2475. While the well has not cleaned up yet, it is believed it will make a 200-barrel producer. The Pacific Petroleum corporation (E. J. Miley) announces the completion of well No. 3 at 2750. Judging from the way the well is starting off it will settle to 300 barrels. E. J. Miley has succeeded in putting State Consolidated No. 1 on production. This new well completed at 3303 is making a hundred barrels. The Standard Oil company added 200 barrels of new production to the Huntington Beach output with two wells making a hundred barrels each. The Interstate Oil company is about to close a transaction involving the Vista Del Mar. Seal Beach is now an operating field. The second rig was placed during the week. Henry R. Dabney is the man who is going to try out the new field. The Seal Beach company has a rig up and expects to begin drilling before very long. Richfield added 600 barrels of non-chemical collection of the debt to us believe that it will take something like 25 years for the European nations to pay this $10,000,000,000. They can take these payments spread over a period of 25 years without causing even a ripple on the surface of our industrial affairs. All that the United States asks today is that our debtors evidence their indebtedness by definite obligations with a specified period of maturity and a specified rate of interest so that the present uncertainty may be removed and the taxpayers of the United States may know what revenue they must raise which, together with the payments from our debtors, will enable us to meet our own national obligations represented by Liberty bonds and our current federal expenditures. Professor Seligman may be a great professor of economics, but he is scarcely a success at raising bogeymen to scare the American people into consenting to a cancellation of the debts due us from the allies. HUMANE RULES OF WAR One of the most notable achievements of the arms conference is that which embodies a treaty "to make more effective the rules adopted by civilized nations for the protection of the lives of neutrals and non-combatants at sea in time of war, and to prevent the use in war of noxious gases and chemicals." This treaty has been approved by the conference, in plenary session. It is in accord with the spirit of the agreements which have been reached during the historic sittings of the arms conference. The first endeavors of the arms conference have been directed toward the prevention of war—and signal affection to us. ABOUT CITIES A Why do the dweller rail upon the people in small towns? If those in the seat of the mayor most eminent and superintendent they came from town. New York, for city largely populated from over seas, and its trade is from the purifying population," most in from the small town. Every city is either a microcosm—it is either or a little town. The degree, not in kind. The human beings live intentionally the mental small town is better for big town. In the agilityuality of a metropolitan quality to the age village. There is less one example in Gophil in New York. As for will you find more obvious intent than in that of a metropolitan club feminine culture clubs? There are Main street American city—big city where petty things where petty politics where petty jealousies back-bitings are utter nature is very much there you go. From Greenbanks to India's coral jungle of the tropics, mountain heights, theoughfares of Babylon. The very character superior folks of the borough in derision to the dwelling towns are more condections of sterling virginity. Huntington Beach output with two wells making a hundred barrels each. The Interstate Oil company is about to close a transaction involving the Vista Del Mar. Seal Beach is now an operating field. The second rig was placed during the week. Henry R. Dabney is the man who is going to try out the new field. The Seal Beach company has a rig up and expects to begin drilling before very long. Richfield added 600 barrels of new production to the southern field's output. Three wells were brought in, the Union Oil company of California coming in for two of the new producers. Chapman No. 14, a deep well completed at 4470, came in a 100 barrel well. Shanker No. 1, the Union's second producer, was finished at 3500 feet and is making 800 barrels. Wents Syndicate, formerly the Richfield United, completed well No. 2 at 3800 feet. The Clark Oil company stopped drilling on Wetzell No. 1 at 4567 and preparations are being made to bring this deep well in. The Amalgamated Oil company, drilling on the Wm. Kammerer property at Richfield, got some very good showings at 2900 feet. As yet the Petroleum Midway's deep test well Richfield-Yorba No. 2, drilled to 4808 feet, has failed to yield production. Stockholders and backers of the Ridge Oil company will be interested to know that the deep well now drilling at 4665 is looking a shade better. The Standard Oil company is rigged up and ready to spud in on a test well at Buena Park. The test well is located on the Mitchell property. The well at Buena Park is the second of a series the Standard has planned to drill in the intervening country between Coyote Hills and Huntington Beach. The General Petroleum has gone in heavy at Santa Fe Springs. In addition to the four wells now drilling, four more have been located, and work is scheduled to commence on the new locations at once. The two wells brought in by the Shell company at Signal Hill have been on production ten days and they are holding up in a remarkable manner. Horsch No. 1, completed at 2990, came in at 1500 barrels. Jones No. 1 came in a 600 barrel well. The advent of the big Shell wells gives Long Beach a daily output of 5000 barrels. O'Donnell is another man that is planning big things for Signal Hill development. MATURITY AND YOUTH A mother whose two sons are both enrolled in the university from which she herself graduated, found that at last she had leisure to fulfill her ambition to take some graduate courses. She carried two more subjects than her college junior son, and came out at the end of the term with better marks than his. The boy was somewhat perturbed. "Oh, Mother, you didn't really pull an A in that psychology course did you? I worked my head off for that man and only made a B." Said the mother: "My son, I am your mother. It would be a pretty state of affairs if I couldn't do better work than you, with my mature years, experience and wider reading." Not all parents have such an opportunity to demonstrate to their children that ripening years have their advantages in increased ability, judgment and power. Yet the recognition of this fact would be a wholesome thing for many parents and for their offspring of the rising generation. John Kendrick Bangs where petty jealousy back-bitings are uttered; it is very much the you go. From Greenland tains to India's coral jungle of the tropics; mountain heights; tough fares of Babylon. The very character superior folks of the town in derision to the dwelling towns are more conducences of sterling virtues sophistication of menners and habits. They rivals its culture from organizations, its Dorca Carnegie library, its lyceum, its share qua circuit, its Shakl club, its occasional re-town hall or "opera huest lectures by him What more does the boy accept in variety and quality are men and women as well read, as family world topics, as capitals great questions of vassas may be found in the nation. There must these tainkers and stricter cities, but they wield influence in their little ones these others in theirs. Doubled if the actual small town intellectual gree less than that of covants and pundits universities are in their students to to them cities. The best literature America came out of and is still flowing from inspiration It is literature in its pressure but it is far beyond produced in the great country. All the big small towns—even Chicago once upon a time les was, for more than nothing more than a not bigness nor popular city; it is the character and enterprise and most its inhabitants.

O'Donnell is another man that is planning big things for Signal Hill development. O'Donnell No. 1, one of the best located wells in the field, is close to the oil sand and will be producing in the next twenty days. W. R. Ramsey's Municipal No. 1 stopped flowing a few days. Efforts to make the Sandburg Petroleum's No. 1 flow have not met with much success. It is thought that sand is coming in. The United Oil company now has a nice production on Signal Hill. Denni No. 1 located on the top of the hill is producing steadily at 350-400 barrels. AN ACADEMIC BOOGEY-MAN Dr. E. R. A. Seligman, professor of economics at Columbia university, recently delivered an address in which he said that if the allies paid their $10,000,000,000 indebtedness to the United States it would inflate American currency to an unheard, of degree and paralyze American industry for an indefinite period. This is undoubtedly true and yet we do not see the occasion for Professor Seligman making the statement. Nobody expects our European debtors to hand over the several car loads of money which would be necessary to liquidate the present aggregate indebtedness. It is entirely superfluous, therefore, for the distinguished professor to tell us, as he does, that A sweet singer of the Songs of Life recently laid down his pen to resume it, we trust, in Elysian Fields, where naught but joy might inspire the poet. John Kendrick Bangs was a poet of optimism; he wrote ever of the cheerful things of life, and that in hopeful, joyous vein. His was the spirit of the true philosopher combined with the trust of a child and the sympathy of a woman. The above lines were among the last verses that he wrote and they well evidence the poet’s spirit. Automobiles have another benefit—they have decreased gossip. It is difficult to talk much and drive a car. The head of the family has had to do a lot of foot work in the last year to keep his creditors at arm’s length. Not all parents have such an opportunity to demonstrate to their children that ripening years have their advantages in increased ability, judgment and power. Yet the recognition of this fact would be a wholesome thing for many parents and for their offspring of the rising generation. JOHN KENDRICK BANGS As to Weather No weather e’er shall bother me. Whatever kind it chance to be. If days be bright I’ll take the air Rejoicing in the heavens fair. If there be rain I’ll think of things Of worth its saturation brings. If winds shall blow I’ll dwell upon The ships they speed to ports anon; And when the tempests ride the blue I'll sit entranced and listen to The glorious music loud and clear That nature grants the heeding ear. Some of these signs cus nature. Nothing disapprobation of the prompts inculcation truths. But there is in this God has written rocks, all over the sub over “the templed hill His divine power and dential care.

The evil that men them—and so does th ABOUT CITIES AND TOWNS Why do the dwellers in great cities rail upon the people who live in the small towns? If those who sit tight in the seat of the metropolitan scorner will read the biographies of their most eminent and successful citizens they will find that almost without exception they came from the small town. New York, for example, is a city largely populated by immigrants from over seas, and its most lucrative trade is from the purses of its "floating population," most of which drifts in from the small town. Every city is either a macrocosm or a microcosm—it is either a big town or a little town. The difference is in degree, not in kind. The same sort of human beings live in both. Proportionately the mental calibre of the small town is better than that of the big town. In the aggregate the intellectuality of a metropolis is of inferior quality to the aggregate of the village. There is less illiteracy, for one example in Gopher Prairie than in New York. As for "gossip," where you find more of it of more vicious intent than in the lounging room of a metropolitan club, or among the feminine culture clubs of the big cities? There are Main streets in every American city—big or little—streets where petty things are bartered, where petty politics are peddled, where petty jealousies, rancors and back-bitings are uttered. Human nature is very much the same wherever you go, from Greenland's icy mountains to India's coral strand; in the jungle of the tropics, the freshness of mountain heights, the crowded thoroughfares of Babylon or Tyre. The very characteristics which the superior folks of the big cities ascribe in derision to the dwellers in small towns are more conspicuously evidences of sterling virtue than are the NO HELP FOR ARROWHEAD Indications that the project for relief of the world war veterans at Arrowhead has collided again with red tape will surprise nobody who understands that official jealousy in government departments is as common as elsewhere. Anybody in any vocation who has experienced the office politics that blases efficiency can comprehend that one group of officials in a given territory resents the intrusion of another group of officials on special business. Human nature inevitably runs true to form. Conditions at Arrowhead need the special treatment the members of the legion are demanding. They have investigated the situation and they know the remedy. They ask no more than ought to be done, and doubtless no more than the national government is perfectly willing to do, and probably assumes is being done. But it unfortunately happens that nobody comes with authority to do anything more than investigate and recommend, and the written recommendation descends to the ordinary red tape classification of a case to be handled when it is reached in the regular order. Somebody in authority somewhere with an unexpected burst of intelligence argues that special treatment will necessarily mean special treatment everywhere, because Arrowhead has no greater claim than other points, in which case what becomes of the established routine so dear to the heart of the bureaucrat? The answer will have to be found, but nobody has done so to date. USE FIRELESS COOKER IN RAISING BREAD DOUGH In very warm or very cold weather it is often difficult to maintain an even temperature in which to allow a bread dough to rise. If a sponge where petty jealousies, rancors and back-bitings are uttered. Human nature is very much the same wherever you go. from Greenland's icy mountains to India's coral strand; in the jungle of the tropics, the freshness of mountain heights, the crowded thoroughfares of Babylon or Tyre. The very characteristics which the superior folks of the big cities ascribe in derision to the dwellers in small towns are more conspicuously evidences of sterling virtue than are the sophistifications of metropolitan manners and habits. The small town derives its culture from its church organizations, its Dorcas societies, its Carnegie library, its women's clubs, its Lyceum, its share in the chaffauqua circuit, its Shakespeare reading club, its occasional road show in the town hall or "opera house," its infrequent lectures by famous orators. What more does the big town offer except in variety and quantity? There are men and women in the small town as well read, as familiar with current world topics, as capable of discussing great questions of vast human import, as may be found in the metropolises or the nation. There may be more of these thinkers and statesmen in the cities, but they wield no greater influence in their little sphere than do these others in theirs. It may be even doubted if the actual force of the small town intellectual is in any degree less than that of the big town cavants and pundits. All the great universities are in the small towns,and students to to them from the big cities. The best literature produced in America came out of the small town, and is still flowing from that source of inspiration. It isn't world-moving literature in its present form, to be sure but it is far better than that produced in the great cities of this country. All the big cities were once small towns—even Chicago was a village once upon a time, and Los Angeles was, for more than a century nothing more than a "pueblo." It is not bigness nor population that makes a city; it is the character and ambition and enterprise and mental quality of its inhabitants. If there is a reason for satire at the expense of aggregated populations it is more apt for the big city than for the small town. OUST DEFACING SIGNS Forest rangers in California will busy themselves, the coming summer, in effacing the defacements of rocks. USE FIRELESS COOKER IN RAISING BREAD DOUGH In very warm or very cold weather it is often difficult to maintain an even temperature in which to allow a bread dough to rise. If a sponge is set at night, it should be kept at ordinary room temperature (60 to 75 degrees F.), depending on how long it is to stand. Whenever a dough has been prepared (as distinguished from a sponge), the temperature should be fairly warm—between 80 and 86 degrees F. A good way to assure an even temperature in either case, it is suggested, is to get the sponge or dough in the fireless cooker, using a thermometer to start with, to determine the temperature when the dough or sponge put in. COST OF AMERICA'S DISCOVERY The cost of the discovery of America by Columbus was but a little over $7000, the old story to the effect that Queen Isabella parted with many of her finest jewels to the contrary. Two of the three ships that made that wonderful voyage, the Pinto and the Nina, were captained by two brothers, Martin and Vioente Pinzon, and they paid all the expenses attached to these ships, as well as furnishing the craft themselves. The account books of the Pinsons show that Columbus in his capacity of commander received 1500 pesetas a year, or about $300. The sailors received the magnificent sum of $250 a month, or about 8 cents a day. The cannon for all three ships, cost 14,000 pesetas, or about what it would cost to fire one of our modern big guns, while the whole outfit and the wages of the sailors and officers came to only 36,000 pesetas. The accounts cover the time between August, 1492, to March, 1493. The queen's share is believed to have been less than $2000, and even at the valuation placed on the jewels at that period, it would not have taken many or large ones to raise this sum. One secret of a long life is to forget injuries and remember favors. CONVINCING TESTIMONY OUST DEFACING SIGNS Forest rangers in California with busy themselves, the coming summer, in effacing the defacements of rocks in the forest reserves. There has been a good deal of painting of signs on the most picturesque of these great piles of the wilds. This is marring and out of keeping with the maintenance of the unartificial nature of the reserves. Some of these signs are sheerly commercialistic, advertising this or that commodity. While those who paint these signs show enterprise, yet it is not that form of enterprise which is to be commended as exemplary. There are other more fitting spots for the exploiting of wares. Some of these signs are of a religious nature. Nothing is to be said in disapprobation of the spirit which prompts the inculication of religious truths. But there is seemiliness even in this. God has written all over the rocks, all over the sublime heights, all over "the templed hills," the story of His divine power and glory and providential care. They who will not read that which is written by the finger of God in nature, hardly would read and be impressed by that which might be written on the rocks by the clumsy hand of man. Leave the beauty and majesty and awesomeness of these mountain fastnesses to speak God's own language in God's own way, to the souls of men. The evil that men do lives with them—and so does the good. CONVINCING TESTIMONY Given By Many Anaheim People. Experiences told by Anaheim people— Those who have had weak kidneys— Who used Doan's Kidney Pills— Who found the remedy effective—Such statements prove merit. You might doubt an utter stranger. You must believe Anaheim people. Here's Anaheim proof. Verify it. Read. Investigate. Be convinced. You'll find why Anaheim folks believe in Doan's. Ask your neighbor! J. A. Laffoon, retired farmer, 417 Elm St., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are an old stand-by with me and I don't know how I would have made out without them. I got so bad off with kidney trouble, I could hardly keep going. My back ached constantly and made it hard for me to do any stooping or lifting work. My kidneys were out of order, too. I used Doan's Kidney Pills from Anaheim's Drug Store and they just suited my case. Doan's soon put me on my feet. The backache let up and my kidneys were regulated." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Laffoon had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.Y. WEST BROADWAY M. E.
