DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS The discouragement that is running through the ranks of mail bandits at the prospect of meeting an armed marine on a mail train or a mail truck is quite marked. There is a conspicuous depression in the business of robbing mails. The American public school is not a toy or a trivial thing. It is the people’s temple of learning—the one and only hope millions of boys and girls have to obtain educational training. American war securities are more than vindicating the hopes and auguries of their friends. Victory bonds have gone above par and other issues are near par. The credit of the United States overment is without flaw. It is planned to use the deadly gases which were employed in the World War to fight insect pests on vines, plants and valuable crops. This is first cousin to the sword that is beaten into a plowshare. General Dawes, director of the national budget, is old-fashioned, in that he contends that the way to economize is to economize. There have been Congresses which proceeded on the principle that the way to economize is to pass a few more "pork-barrel" bills. Many are criticising Judge Landis because of the penalty he imposed upon Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel and Bill Piercey for barnstorm playing after participating in a world’s championship series. Why not criticise the rule and those who made it? Judge Landis had nothing to do with establishing the rule. He merely is enforcing it, as any conscientious man in his position would do. If the rule be unreasonable and unfair to players—as many contend it is—it should be abolished. But so long as it is the rule, enforce it. INDIAN CHIEFTAINCY FOR MARSHAL FOCH The Crow tribe of Indians, of Montana, visited a few days ago by Marshal Foch, paid their highest honors to the World War chieftain. He was made a chief by the usual ceremonies. He smoked the ceremonial pipe with Chief Plenty Coups; and the tribal dance rites were performed. Indians do not bestow honors lightly. They are as keen in their judgments of palefaces as they are of men of their own race. The white man who is made an honorary chief by an Indian tribe must be a real man of real worth. He must have achieved something worth while. Indians are never frivolous or hasty in honoring members of the white race. They may be imposed upon, in some instances. But their discernance is sharp and rarely do they show honors to any one who is undeserving. LIGHTER BURDENS UNDER DISARMAMENT The projected naval holiday will be directly advantageous in more ways than promoting the peace of the world. Adoption of the Hughes proposal will save the United States hundreds of millions of dollars annually in reduced naval appropriations. More than this, the federal reserve board holds that this enormous reduction in naval expenditures and its resultant conservation of money and resources, will lessen tax burdens and improve banking and trade conditions. Huge sums which have gone into naval construction and into maintenance of the navy will be saved to the taxpayers. Lessening of armament burdens will leave greater sums free for investment in the arts and activities of peace. This should be an economic boon. Kentucky Home—508 E. Center.

ARCADIA OIL MAKES NEW HOLE AT 2945 Montebello The Arcadia Oil Co. cleaned out to bottom 2917, and is now making new hole at 2945. The formation is sandy shale with streaks of sand and looks very encouraging. The shutting off of the water at 2828 was one of the most difficult propositions ever undertaken in the Montebello field. It is believed the Arcadia will have things in its favor now. The Comanche Oil Co. has the La Merced Manly drilling at 2775 and the drilling is going the best. The Comanche will develop the deep sand in this well and duplicate the San Helens' Eggleston well. The Keeler Oil Co.'s No. 2 drilled recently to 3865 is making 275 barrels of 24 gravity oil and is as good a well as the Montebellofield has produced for some time. Both the Pan-American and Potter Oil Co.'s have sidetracking jobs on the Pan American at 3200 and the Potter at 3055. Prugh No. 9 rose to expectations and came in a 400 barrel well. This new well was completed at 3552 and is making 24 gravity oil. The output of the big Eggleston producer is varying but little. After two months on production the well is making 1400 daily. Of this amount 875 barrels is net oil. Monterey No. 4 is drilling by pipe at 2650. No. 6 at 2775 is in brown shale, and No. 7 shows sandy shale at 2400. P. & B. No. 1 is still held up with pipe trouble, some 4-inch was lost at 3425. The Standard Oil Co. drilling at Howard-Smith No. 1 is making hole at 2450, the digging is in hard sand and goes a little slow. Baldwin No. 59 shows 3100 feet and No. 60 is rigging up. After several months spent in drilling and sidetracking the Western Pacific is making new hole. Drilling is now at 3245 in brown sandy G. & L.

The Western Pacific is trying for the deep sand. Mechanical trouble developed at the Union Oil Co.'s La Merced No. 18 to the extent that 1700 feet of hole was abandoned, the rig moved to location No. 25; No. 9 at-3063 also developed some mechanical trouble and is being abandoned. La Merced No. 10 now on production is making 90 barrels. Wabash Blues—308 E. Center. J.E.SCHUMACHER OPENS FEED FIRM J.E.

BIXBY SYNDICATE PLUGS AT 4300 FEET Bixby Hills The Bixby Ranch Syndicate drilled to 4675 plugged back to 4300 feet in an effort to shut off bottom water. The National Security set a string of 8-inch at 3092 feet, drilled on to 3155 and is now carrying a string of six-inch pipe. The Owners Oil Producing formerly the Orange-co Petroleum Co., represents the combined interests of a number of the Los Angeles laundries.Drilling resumes on this well at 1700 feet. Drilling at close to 4200 feet the National Exploration Co.'s Olinda well is in brown shale and showing very little indications of oil. Chino No.1 recovered from the fishing job and is drilling at 1825. A national highway congress will be held in Argentina in May to thoroughly study the roads of that country.

How often have you called a number and before the party has had time to answer, hung up the receiver after realizing that you had called the wrong number? This very thing happens every day; yes, we all do it. It's one of those unavoidable mistakes which we make not intentionally, but what happens when the party that is called away from business to answer this call? The operator says: "Will you excuse it, please?" Not the operator's fault, but she gets most of the blame; if the public will but read the advertisements which are appearing each week, the result will be beneficial to the telephone company and the patrons, enabling the operators to give the best possible service.
