3000-BBL WELL AT S. F. SPRINGS Santa Fe Springs producers were given a little encouragement this week when the Petroleum Midway tapped off a 2000 barrel well on the Mattern lease. Oil experts had begun to think that the day of the 3000 bbl well at Santa Fe had passed. The Petroleum Midway went to 4629 feet to get this producer and were rewarded with a 33 gravity producer. The Mattern property has proven to be one of the choice oil properties of the Springs field. C. C. Julian and the Buckeye-Union Oil Company closed their development work at the Springs this past week with two small wells. The Buckeye-Union finished its No. 5 at 4585, a 450 barrel well, and Julian his No. 11 at 4600 feet, a 200 barrel well. Another concern to close its Springs developments was the Universal Consolidated Oil Company. The Universal completed Blanchard No. 5 at 4600, a 200 barrel well. The Union Oil Company's Springs completions this past week resulted in two small wells. On the Bell lease No. 14 at 4700 feet made 700 bbl and Alexander No. 5 another 4700 foot well started off at 250 barrels. Hope for the extension of the west side of the Santa Fe Springs field fades as the Standard Oil's Houghton well goes down. Drilling has passed the 5000 mark and the Standard has found no oil showings of any special importance, and the outlook new is not very hopeful. H. L. Whiston seems to be solving the water trouble on the Bicknell well and may open up a new oil field before many moons. A series of experiments and tests have located the source of the water in the 4444 foot well, and the day for a production test is HOME MADE CANDY IN PRETTY CONTAINER NICE XMAS GIF A basket of homemade sweets Homemade candy is one of the nicest gifts for the holiday season. It is one of the presents that we know will not be given to someone else the following Christmas or alluded to as "junk" by an unappreciative receiver. If we cannot, for very good reasons, eat it ourselves, we can always pass it to some one who can and will. Here are a few recipes that may help to fill some one's cup of happiness on Christmas morning. Pretty baskets may be filled with confections (like the illustration), or boxes of fancy shapes may be purchased and used as holders. FUDGE—Three cups granulated sugar, one cup cream, or one cup of milk and two tablespoons butter, three teaspoons cocoa, one-half cup nut meats. Cook sugar, cocoa and cream until it forms a very soft ball when tried in cold water. Remove from partially cool and heat. Step into your select In giving a H. L. Whiston seems to be solving the water trouble on the Bicknell well and may open up a new oil field before many moons. A series of experiments and tests have located the source of the water in the 4444 foot well, and the day for a production test is not far away. It is understood that the well has been showing considerable oil and the only thing that has prevented it from making good is the water trouble. The Russell Petroleum Company has purchased a half interest in the Dolke-Thomas Syndicate at Fullerton and will carry the 4000 well on another 1000 feet and make a thorough test. Water broke in on the Seal Beach Oil Company's deep test well at 5154, and delayed the Beach's claims of the next So. Calif. oil field. TRAINS COMING, WATCH FOR 'EM PARIS, Dec. 13.—Stop, look and listen! The train is coming. In fact, it is here again after a season or two off duty. Little bitsy wispy trains are trimming all the smartest evening gowns. Most of them are very short and really amount to nothing more than a long sash end hanging at the side of the dress. In fact this kind of a train is becoming very popular for afternoon frocks also. A large bow ties up on the side with one long end left flowing. Sometimes it is made of the same material and often of lace or lovely ribbon. CROSS EYES CORRECTED THIS MUSCULAR DEFECT CORRECED AND STRAIN RELEIVED BY PROPERLY ADJUSTED GLASSES.

FUDGE—Three cups granulated sugar, one cup cream, or one cup of milk and two tablespoons butter, three teaspoons cocoa, one-half cup nut meats. Cook sugar, cocoa and cream until it forms a very soft ball when tried in cold water. Remove from fire, partially cool and beat. Add nuts and pour in buttered tin. For greater richness and smoothness add one-fourth cup white corn syrup. UNCOOKED FONDANT—Three pounds confectioners' sugar, one-half cup water (scant measure), two egg whites, vanilla to taste. Mix egg white and water, add sugar until it moulds like a dough. Flavor and knead smooth. Sprinkle your board with the sugar and roll mixture until it is about one-quarter inch thick, cut into desired shapes for dipping. The fondant may be mixed with chopped nuts, fruit, or made into chocolate creams by dipping in melted chocolate. Better let stand over night before dipping so surface is slightly hardened and will not melt when dipped. The fondant candles, also are better the day following than on which they are made. While still soft, the fondant may be used as a coating for dates, whole nut meats, grapes or cherries. The latter should be seeded before being dipped and the grapes are especially fine if skinned. UNITED OFFERS “DIFFERENT” SHOW Another one of those “different” programs was given last night at the United by Manager Roy C. Langvay, with a motion picture, “The Clean-up,” that contained a brand new plot and several vaudeville acts that were far from the stereotyped. The plot of the play is built out of the consequences of Old Man Bixby willing $50,000 to each of the original residents of the town of Lawton. Unused to plenty of money they have their fling, and stores close, fakers come in and fleece the guillible, gambling and liquor guzzling break loose, etc. The old man’s son, a part taken by Herb Rawlinson, apparently had been disinherited, but obeys the request of his father in the will to remain in town for 30 days, and ultimately comes into $2,000,000. In the interim he cleans up the town, after thrash- CUT THIS OUT—IT IS WORTH MONEY Send this ad and ten cents to Foley & Co., 2835 Sheffield ave., Chicago, Ill., writing your name and address clearly.

Allen, chairman of the American committee for relief of German children. The message, based on the reports of trained observers representing the American Quakers in Germany and on the answers to telegrams from the Quaker headquarters in Berlin to the mayors of the principal German cities continues as follows: "In forty-six large German cities the death rate from tuberculosis exceeds that of last year by about twenty per cent. In Dresden it is almost double. "Fifty per cent and more of all children in large towns and industrial districts underfed to dangerous degree. School attendance daily decreasing because shortage of food and clothing. Hunger causes many fainting fits. Percentage of undernourished school children in various cities: Munich, forty; Leipsig, fifty-five; Darmstadt, seventy-five; Stargard seventy-nine.

Thus declared the Evangelical Ministers' Ass'n. of this city recently, as it went on record deploring the displaying of flasks in show windows. Just prior to every football game that has been played in Atlanta this season certain local concerns have placed flasks in their show windows, accompanied by neat little signs suggesting that they were "good things to have at football games." The ministers, in the draft of the resolution, declared that such action "is subversive to law enforcement and detrimental to the welfare of our young men." The resolution was passed without a dissenting voice. Days left to buy Accessory Gifts An urgent supply of Accessories suitable for Gifts—make key boxes and wrap them in Christmas paper.
