ware bills or contractors. Produc-
eres have been drilling during a
long period on hope and they now
find themselves without territory
and without money. Debts cover
most property interests.
To drill In the hope of obtaining
better prices has been foolish, To
drill In the hope of finding prolific
territory has proved to be snare
and delusion. In most instances
the proceeds of production has been
more than swallowed up In an effort
to extend producing limits or to
hold production In defined terri
tory. 1t Is to be noted that the
Pare OIL company through Its pro
ducers and re6ners pipe line agen.
cies, maintained their price at $I,85
Saturday and did not follow the
Standards reduction. This may
or may not be move to gain pop
ularity among producers who fall
to recognize the difference between
profits all going to the Standard
OH Co. or handful of independent
refuers and pipe line men. In any
event 1t Is indicative that the indie.

ON High grade oil with parafne

This Is shown conclusively by the
prices obtained for refined products

The oil producers are always made
to suffer all the losses that may be
made to the industry as a whole by
reason of a war scare or rumors of

There Is never any decrease In

Drop In Credit Balances

The drop of FIVE cents barrel In
the price of credit balances Is a
great surprise to everyone, but
events have been steadily shaping
themselves In that direction for
some time. Exports have steadily
declined and while the surplus
stocks of Pennsylvania and Buck
eye oils are rapidly being consumed
1t Is evident that the Kansas oil
developments are gradually assum'
Ing such Immense proportions as
TO make certain that they will soon
be able to Offset the waning yield
of the Trenton rock fields. A
pipe line project Is reported to
connect up the Kansas oil fields
with the great refueries at Whit

a portion of 1t will undoubtedly be

Asbestos to Be Used

Asbestos, as a manufactured
commodity. Is now controlled by
the Standard OIL Company. That
corporation has contracted for the
entire oatput of the Ontario as.
bestos mines. from which comes
Gil except small per cent of the
asbestos of the world. The plan Is
to make the asbestos industry as
vast and wholly as monopolistic as
the steel industry or the coal oil
industry. John D Rockefeller aud
his associates deem that they have
found q new field for their gigantic
operations.
Asbestos, In their hands, Is TO be

tos cars built with steel frames for
the underground system of the
Rapid Transit company, of New

1t also has been given the contract
for lining with asbestos a large
part of the tunnels of the same sys.

for the Pullman company for fire

Tests are to be made as to what

another we'll has just been COM
pleted and which makes the pros.
poets In that locality look much
brighter. The new well Is owned
by the Charley Creek Oh and Gas
company, and islocated on Charley
Creek, 2,aoo feet southwest of the
McCoach OH and Gas company's
first test on the r. J. Berkley farm,
and which Is holding up steadily at
IS bar els per day.
The Charley Creek company's
test Is located on the Elihr Burns
farm, and when drilled into the
sand last Saturday afternoon, filed
to the top with fluid the first hour,
and flowed IS barrels the FIRST three
hours. The showing made by the
new well Is such as to lead to the
belief that pool of some dimen-
sions may be confidently looked for
In Cabell county.
The first producer In that local
lily was drilled In last summer on
the Beckett farm and Is producing
about IS barrels day. The second
Is located on the Beckley farm and
as previously stated, Is producing
IS barrels day. Second test wells
on each of these farm are drilling,
and will be due soon. So far as
developed, the producing streak
seems to run on northeast and
southwest 4S-degree line.
In the Meadville district, this
county. Duff Bros. & Bower have
drilled their No S on the Charles
Aukrom farm into the Maxon sand
and have a show for a IS or 20 bar
rel pumper In that formation. They
will not stop to test In the Maxon,
but drill through the Big Iujun.
Changes are rapid In the oil
business and just now the situation
Is interesting. What effect, If any,
the war In the east will have on the
petroleum industry does not make
itself apparent at this time, but as
Russian oil production Is much less
than 1t was and as the fields of
Romania and Gallcia have not yet
made up this decline of Russias pro
duct there seems little to fear from
the competition of those fields.
Prices which statistics show have
prevailed In foreign markets indl-
cate that the world Is taking the
oil at rate faster than 1t Is pro-
duced. This fact is especially EN-.
phasized by the rapid exhaustion of
stocks of oil held by various cor.
porations..
The eastern fields of the United
States are showing uumistakable
signs of exhaustion and 1t would
seem that the time may not be far
distant when oils of a parafne base
shall be In a class by themselves
and command prices In accordance
with supply and demand.
From present indications, these
prices should be much higher than
now fixed by the purchasing sgen.
cies of the Standard Oh Company.
The excuses offered by the papers
controlled by the Standard Oh Com
pany for the cut In prices are In
themselves subject for ridicule
and were 1t not for the fact that the
cut imposes condition of a serious
financial nature, from a producers
standpoint the ridiculous features
would give way to one of hopeful.

The Untidy Housewife.

Mrs. Craige, writes Cousin Madge in
London Truth, has discovered a bit or
social custom In England which is
quite unknown to the English. l find
# I'm her new book, "The Vineyard"
Writing of an English village, she
says:
SIN that part of the world no lady
was ever expected to be quite pre-
pared so far as her own raiment was
in question, to receive sudden callers.
Rooms were supposed to be swept and
garnished-that was the infallible sign
of good management-but housewife
who was always found spick and span
in her best gown and did not have to
keep visitors waiting while she dressed
In order to receive them, would have
made a bad impression. In the hrst
place. she would have the air Of one
who looked to find the whole neigh
borhood on her doOrstep-an arrogant
assumptions secondly, it would point
to extravaganza, vanity or wllful
pride"
This is described as part of the So
cial system in Frampshire. Surely this
Frampshire must be In New England,
not our nice, tidy old England, where
decent people are neatly attired III the

have their "best gown" on.
