Calumpit Camp Enjoys Fine Social Evenings Calumpit Camp and Auxiliary, Department of California, U. S. W. V. enjoyed one of their famous Social Meetings, Tuesday evening, March 20th, and delegations were present from several out of town places. The largest delegation was from Ida Saxton McKinley Auxiliary, of Long Beach, and was headed by Mrs. Lizzie H. Crape, a Past President of that Auxiliary. Mrs. Crape announced her candidacy for the position of Junior Vice President at the coming encampment, which meets in Riverside next May. There is no doubt on the part of Calumpit Camp and Auxiliary that if Mrs. Crape succeeds in winning the office she is after that she will make an excellent Department officer. They have many times viewed her work as presiding officer of her own Auxiliary and her executive ability added to her exceedingly pleasing personalities has made her an officer of note in the Southland. So far we have heard of no opposing candidate and we wish her the good luck she so well merits. A delegation was down from Los Angeles, among whom there were Capt. Richard S. Carr and wife.

Richard S. Carr and wife. It is more than probable that they will be the delegates of the Camp and Auxiliary to the next National Encampment which meets at Chattanooga, Tennessee. There was also a delegation from Brea consisting of Professor W. E. Panning, Robt. H. Lee and his wife, Prof. Panning served in Battery D. California Heavy Artillery with Adjutant Chas. E. Dixon and not having seen each other for years they had quite a reunion. Comrade Lee was in a happy and musical state of mind and he led the singing as well as singing several solos. They were pleasing parodies on war songs and were very much enjoyed. Comrade Chas. H. Saunders, of Olinda, a member of William McKinley Camp No. 22, of Long Beach was present for his first visit to Calumpit Camp. The proceeds of the box lunch was turned over to Adjutant Chas. E. Dixon to send to the Secretary of the California's Soldiers' Widows Home. Sickness, working overtime and other meetings kept many of the Comrades and Sisters away and in consequence it was the smallest meeting in point of numbers that these orders have ever had. Members of the Auxiliary are to visit Long Beach to attend the dinner and bazaar to be given by the Auxiliary there in the near future. The next social meeting of the Camp and Auxiliary will probably be held at Brea, they having received an invitation from the Boy Scouts of Brea to hold a social in Boy Scout Hall. Mrs. Nannle Reed and Mrs. Bertha N. Dixon promise to have a lot of new applications for membership at the next business meeting. Their success in getting twenty-four new applications for the last business meeting causes them to believe that they can do half as well for the next. When in need, advertise in the Plain Dealer.

The Shell Company in the completion of Stakemiller No. 2, surpassed all previous records for Long Beach by lowering the production depth to 5010 feet. The record deep producer, Stakemiller, No. 2, is a 3300 barrel well. It required more than 1200 feet of screen casing to take care of the oil bearing formation. This long stretch of oil sand means that a well that will last a long time has been brought in. The Shell Company's Andrews, No. 3, is drilling at 4750 feet and is scheduled for the next big producer on the hill. The Rice Ranch topped the record for big producers at Long Beach this past week. Rice Ranch, No. 2, completed at 4100 feet came in a 6000 barrel well. The Rice Ranch's No. 1, a well that gave a lot of trouble and difficulty to get under way on production is new. MAKE RECORD OR DRILLING ACTIVITY During the week ending March 17, 1923, 51 new wells were reported to the State Oil and Gas Supervisor as ready to drill. This is a new record for drilling activity. 45 notices covered proposed drilling operations in District No. 1, which includes all the oil fields of Los Angeles and Orange counties. Although drilling activity is apparently increasing in the newer fields of southern California, recent reports indicate that the present volume of oil production is hazardously close to overreaching the maximum emergency accommodations of transportation and storage. With a total daily production of 630,000 barrels for the state—one hundred per cent increase over the production in Mar. 1922—new production to the extent of 20,000 barrels daily was shut in at Long Beach during the past week because of lack of storage at tide-water and delay in the arrival of necessary tankers which have been transporting California crude through the Panama Canal to refineries on the Atlantic seaboard. The three southern fields are producing daily as follows: Huntington Beach 112,000 barrels; Long Beach, 126,000 barrels (144,000 barrels) for week ending March 10; and the Santa Fe Springs field 155,800 barrels; of which 48,500 barrels is coming from the Bell zone and 107,300 closer attention to the relation of ILL MANAGED COVER CROPS DETRIMENTAL Considerable loss is entailed by the grower who allows the mature crop at this time of the year to compete with the citrus trees. Hundreds of acres of cover crops are still standing, robbing the soil of moisture during the extreme dry season which has been experienced the last month or so. Where irrigation waters have been applied, the danger of competition has been minimized to a certain extent, but it would have been better for the welfare of the tree to have turned the cover crop under the month prior to blossoming out. The exact time for turning under the crop cannot be laid down as an iron clad rule. For instance, this year the blossoming season started before March 1, while last year it was almost May 1. It is the common idea among the growers that delapsed turning of the cover crop is advantageous from a tonnage standpoint, but on the other hand the loss due to excessive moisture transpiration and evaporation, and the delayed process of decomposition gain, and the tree actually registers the adverse condition by yellowing of the foliage and weakening its ability to net fruit. This long stretch of oil sand means that a well will last a long time has been brought in. The Shell Company's Andrews, No. 2, is drilling at 4750 feet and is scheduled for the next big producer on the hill. The Rice Ranch topped the record for big producers at Long Beach this past week. Rice Ranch, No. 2, completed at 4100 feet came in a 6000 barrel well. The Rice Ranch's No. 1, a well that gave a lot of trouble and difficulty to get under way on production is now making about 800 barrels and will probably continue its output. The new Rice Ranch producers are making 24 and 25 gravity oil respectively. One by one the initial producers on the hill go deeper and stage a come back with big production. The Marine Oil Corporation has just redrilled and deepened its No. 1, to 4080 feet and brought in a 1500 barrel well. The success of the Marine Oil Corporation at Signal Hill has been one of the outstanding features of the Long Beach field. The Painted Hills Oils Ass'n., a little company organized at San Bernardino is now one of the small companies at Long Beach whose process has become a matter of some comment. This company redrilled its No. 2, and brought in a 2600 barrel well producing 25 gravity oil. The Painted Hills Oil Ass'n., has taken over the Signal Hill Syndicate's Bruner well and will try to put it on production. Located in the south side of the hill the Bruner well is expected to become a producer in the deep sands. The Petroleum Midway Company's Rider No. 1, the pioneer well of the northwest section of the field is now drilling at 4000 feet. The well at 3500 made a rather good showing on production and it is believed it will make something worth while in the deep sand. The Petroleum Midway's Rider, No. 1, at 3855 continue to produce 7000 barrels daily and is the most remarkable oil producer the Signal Hill field has ever produced. The Petroleum Midway holds second place in the Long Beach production, and has made an enviable record for development. A well that will attract attention at Long Beach will be the United Oil Company's Bixby, No. 1. The Palmetto's Bixby will extend the northwestern section of the field to new limbs and the drillers will be FAIR ANAHEIM COMING TIME HARBOR "THE GOOD" Also—Beauty Regular Price THREE DAYS ACROSS SEA SEVILLE, March 22. — Altraip stations are being built here and at Buenos Ayres to house passenger planes which promoters hope will make regular trips between Spain and Argentina, the voyage lasting only three days. watched with great interest. Signal Hill production declined last week to a 110,000 barrels. It is believed the peak of production has been reached, and that it will keep the new production busy taking care of the decline of the gushers that come in and fall off rapidly being on production a few weeks ago.

AMERICAN BEAUTY STEALS VENUS' TITLE PARIS—Venus, champion beauty of the ages, has been dethorned. Her title has passed to a new type of feminine loveliness—the American flapper—and draped. The judgment of Paris was pronounced as dawn was breaking today, and a procession of 25 girls passed in review before 500 revelers at the famous Julians art students' ball. Georgette, a slender, blue-eyed blonde, won the prize for 1923. She gained the decision over the model who held the title during the last two years. It was a close contest and narrowed down at last to a question of hips. The verdict was awarded to Georgette, after much deliberation, because her hips were more slender than those of the runner-up. This was a great victory for the American conception of beauty.
