Real Americanism is grounded upon true love of America. Its government, its institutions, its ideals, its glorious history, its revered traditions. True patriotism is not a fickle, filtrating love of country—but a constant, unswerving affection that reshapes down and takes root in the very depths of the heart. Where, Oh, where is the aviator to be the first to fly across the Pacific? Why is this grand old ocean left unconquerable via the air? Why not an exhibition of American grit and enterprise in being first to make this memorable nerial voyage? This is a very favorable and propitious time to put reclamation projects through to consummation. The country is emerging from the economic demoralization and stagnation of the World War period. An indefinitely long period of constructive progress and prosperity lies just ahead. The West should seize its promising chance to develop its soil, as well as its hydro-electric and other resources and possibilities, while the constructive, progressive impulse is so strong throughout the country. It is not a false conception of the situation—it is not manufactured, tenuous optism, to look upon the general economic status of this country with equanimity and with good cheer. With the settlement of the transportation labor troubles—which settlement will not long be delayed, according to the best judgment of thinking persons everywhere—there will be a steady progression toward improved conditions, and this betterment will be accelerated by Congress takes final action on tax revision and the tariff. Marks of revival in busi- LENGTHENED LIVES ARE PROBABILITY Human life gradually is being lengthened. Ten years has been added to the average life within the last fifty years. Ten more years will be added, experts think, within the next half century. Prediction is made that human beings may live to be 300 years old. Nor is this prophecy made by irresponsible extremists, but by sober, loveloaded, business-like insurance men. This augury of greatly prolonged tenure of life was made at a recent meeting of the National Association of Mutual Life Underwriters. Centenarians soon will be common, these actual experts say. Prohibition will help greatly, they argue, in prolonging life. So will the added knowledge of hygiene and right living. Men must be careful as to what they eat if they are to live longer. They must be sympathetic temperate, in other words. But living, in the twentieth century, is not what it was back in the days of Methuselah, Noah, and the Israelite patriarchs when the span of human existence ran into the hundreds of years. Then life was simple, pastoral, inattended by continuing vexations and worries and unharrassed by perennial perils. Then men knew not what it was to be nervous, or to overwork or overworry. But modern life, with its strentuosities and complexities, has placed tremendous strains upon human beings which tax their vital powers gradually wearing out their bodily and mental machinery. Modern life is saturated with artificiality and is seasoned with complexities. It is a rushing, grinding, impetuous, unresting exaltance. Can men live up into the hundreds of years and keep pace with modern methods of living? It It is not a false conception of the situation—it is not manufactured, tenuous optism, to look upon the general economic status of this country with equanimity and with good cheer. With the settlement of the transportation labor troubles—which settlement will not long be delayed, according to the best judgment of thinking persons everywhere—there will be a steady progression toward improved conditions, and this betterment will be accelerated as Congress takes final action on tax revision and the tariff. Marks of revival in business and industry are noted in different parts of the country. The tide is rushing toward flood. It may be retarded by this, that or the other circumstance, but this swelling tide will not be turned back. Buena Park News BUENA PARK Nov. 1.—(Spl.) Mrs. Claude D.

Menchego No. 1 drilled to 3250 and No. 2 drilled to 4239, have been abandoned by the Columbia Oil Co. Menchego No. 2 proved a 6-bbl well, and No. 1 was never drilled deep enough to get into the sand.

The Clark Oil Co.'s Hugo Wetzell No. 1 is making a bailing test to determine water conditions at 4125. No work has been done on the Dependable Oil Trust's well during the past week. Drilling was suspended at 12 feet. The Fullerton Oil Co.'s Anaheim Union drilled to 4656 and filled a duce stands idle. A number of produc stands idle. A number of produc stands idle. Building of the rig for Merchants Petroleum No. 3 is well underway. No. 2 is drilling in the conglomerate at 2250. Nothing definite has been determined for the Placentia-Pacific Oil Co.'s No. 1. Drilled to 2300 it failed to produce. It is understood that the company has not sufficient capital to continue drilling. The first deep test well to be drilled by the Petroleum Midway on the Vernell has passed 4200 feet and is in sandy brown shale. Issued No. 2 came in a 225 barrel well at 2100 feet. Krug No. 5 is drilling at 2145 in brown shale. The water shut off at Richfield-Yorbo No. 2 proved a failure at 4157 and the well is standing temporarily suspended. Richfield-Consolidated No. 4 at 2100 is drilling in the oil sand. No. 5 spudded in and shows 1245 feet. It is the intention of the Placentia Oil Co. to loose the 8 inch set at 2980 and carry it on to 3000 feet and re-cement. Drilling at Bradford No. 2 is now at 3775 in the brown shale. Bradford No. 3 went on production at 4270 feet and proved to be a very small well. Bradford No. 3 drilled to 4280 is on product ndoling 460 bbls. Bradford No. 6 spudded in and is drilling.

The Comanche Oil Co.'s drilling the Bardeen Prepares To Re-Cement No. 1 Puente Hills After battling with water for a month or more the Bardeen Oil Co. is making preparations to re-cement Getty No. 1 at 2260. Indications point to a good well for Bardeen with the water shut off. Chino Corona United produced heavy oil at 3678. Cable tools are now being installed to go on down in search of a deeper lighter oil sand. The Gold Seal Petroleum Co. is now drilling at 4035. At this depth the well is not showing any encouragement. Contrary to the expected the Mahala Oil Co.'s No. 1 completed at 4010 feet failed to flow when tried out for production a few days ago. The rods and tubing are being installed, and the well will be on the beam before the end of the week. With close to 1200 feet of oil in the hole Mahala No. 1 should make a commercial producer on the pump. The well seems to have plenty of gas to bring out the production and flow, but the oil seemingly did not come in fast enough to maintain the column. Pumping and agitating will bring the oil in and probably after being on the pump while the well will flow. The Pasadena Puente Oil Co. set 10 inch at 820 and is getting ready to make a production test from this point to 1840, where drilling stopped last week—The well has been showing up rather good and may make a producer. The St Helenas Petroleum has gotten away from all its early drilling troubles on the Garnier and is now making hole at 1600 feet. The brown shale is making excellent drilling. The Wonder Oil Co. has a 89-day extension on its Garnier holding and will not start until further developments are made in this new field. The Puente Hills Oil Co.a new concern in the field has a rig up and is now about ready to start drilling.

But Coyote en little of his life; the things he sees of Old Woman. Finally he began to wonder what was in the sack, but he remembered his promise. Finally he became hungry, and then he wondered if there might be something to eat in it. The temptation became very great. He thought, "I will only look into the sack; that could do no harm." So he untied the neck of the sack and peeped in. Out popped a little star; and as it fluttered around him like a butterfly he tried to catch it and put it back into the sack. Then, when he dropped the sack to catch that one, all the others came out and fluttered around Coyote in a swarm; and before he could catch any of them they all were flying too high for him to reach. When Old Man saw the stars in the sky he knew that Coyote had disobeyed him. But Old Man could not catch Coyote; for his feet were too good.
