Pretty Near Shutdown All
Over the OIL Field.
LACK OF TANK STEEL.
Midcontiuent Gradually Slowing
Up for so Days.
Decided That Too Constant
Drain Upon Wells Was Bad.

Independence Kan, Sept 29-=The
pipe line runs are of so far this month
For the FIRST twenty zone days OF Sep
TENDER they averaged 49.315.5O bar
rels a day. On the other hand the de
iiveries are UP to 2S.24S.83 barrels d
day. The cause of the slump in the
runs is the failure to receive a suf-
ficient amount of tank steel to main
tain the regular amount Of storage
construction. The building of tank
farms in Illinois has had bad effect
on this field. Every effort is being
made to secure the delivery of steel to
resume fun work as the cooler wealth
err approaches.
The finishing touches are being ap-
Piled to the second line to Whiting and
it is expected it viii be completed in a
few days. This viii materially i'm

Sns between Kansas City and Whiting
re constructed OF cement blocks and
are models Of neatness and con
veaience. Never in the history of the
company have their equal been built.

There is practically a total shutdown
now all over the field. There proba bly,
never has been a suspension of field
work on SO large a scale and. in so short
time as has taken place in the mid
continent the past sixty days IN the
long run it Will prove the best possible
thihg for the field. Constant drain upon
the wells viii reduce their output and
hasten the time of equalization betwe q
supply and demand and an advance IN
the price Of the product.
In this connection an interesting
event took place in the Usage a few days
ago Some months ago the Boston
Usage Oil company drilled in its No Is
on the Usage lot 81 1t started off at
200 barrels, natural but after pumping
off unrii the well was only an ordinary
producer. A few days ago the company
shot the well and Immediately it began
gushing a the rate Of 2, 900 barrels day
A representative of the company made
q wild rush to the Prairie Oil and Gas
company to get the oil run. but was told
ia go to -. The Prairie would make
IN extra effort, under the circumstances
to take the unnecessarily una de-larger
production
Had the Prairie adopted this course
a long time ago it would undoubtedly
been better for the field.

with satisfying his curiosity concern
ing the sights to be seen at the seat
of the city government, and in the
furry OF the moment lost track of his
master. who had in the meantime de-
parted. thinking his pet had gone into
the street.
All day long the dog stood at the
spot where he had last seen his mas
ter. but no one paid any attention to
him. The porters and janitors and
elevator man coaXed him and cajoled
him to leave the building at night. but
the canine refused to bulge and
there he stood all night.

SHORT CRY TO COL uMBus

"Oh. that Is n matter of tradition"
said the man who had been doubling
every statement made In the course
OF the luncheon, "and a story passes
through too many people to be reli.
aide when you get 1t couple OF hun
died years late"
Tradition" said another man, "are
you aware how few lives 1t takes to
bridge over the centuries? For in.
stance. the discovery OF America
seems long time ago. and suppose
traditions concerning Columbus and
his crowd you would consider OF no
reliability: yet. do you know. that
only four lives intervene between me
nnd sailor OF Christopher Columbus? +?
Yes, sir. / am In possession OF story
told by n sailor OF the Santa Maria.
which passed through only four peo-
pie before 1t got to me. and yet 1t
rpanned the centuries from 1892 to
the present time. The story was told
me by Christopher Harmsworth, who
died In 1885. at the age OF 95-a clear
headed old man with an excellent
memory. especially for things he had
learned in youth-like most old peo-
pie.
Now. Harmsworth was born. OF
course. in 1890, and when he was q
boy 10 years old. In England-that is.
Ia the year 1S0O-his great-grand-
father. then man of So. used to take
him on his knee and tell the story to
him. The greatgrandfather. as you
Will see. must have been born in 1715.
The Ordway new era., 1906-04-06

And the grentgrandfather used to tell
my friend Harmsworth that the Co.
lumbus story had been told to him
when he was boy OF 9-that is In the
year l72i-by an aged Greatuncle OF
his who was nearly hundred at the
time. having been born In 1924. This
great-uncle used TO tell Harmsworth's
great-grandfather that he had first
heard the story when he was about 10
years old from the lips OF one VII.
liam Sutcliffc. a retired sailor, who
was then in his 9Sth year, having been
born In 1886. Sutcliffe went to sea
when he was boy OF II. shipping as
cabin boy in brig bound for Vieo.
Spain. and there he fell In with an old
sailor. ~ years OF age. one Marco
Guzman. who. as lad OF 16, had
sailed with Columbus TO discover the
new world. And Marco. the sailor.
told Sutliffe the story.
so you see. from the lips OF that
sailor of the Santa Maria to my ears
the story came through only four per,
sons-Sutcliffe. the great.uncle. the
great-grandfather and my friend
Harmsworth. A few years ago. when
Harmswor.a was living. he could have
said that between him and sailor OF
Columbus only three lives interviewed
So, you see. after all tradition is q
thing not to be lightly dlsregarded."
.And what was the story?" asked
one of the party.
"Oh. have forgotten Just how II
went now." said the statistician.

The Coffee Debate.

and says ~ can't quit" you will have
discovered one OF the slaves of the cof-
fee importer. Treat such kindly, for
they seem absolutely powerless to stop
the gradual but sure destruction of
body and health.
Nature has a way OF destroying a
part of the people to make room for
the stronger. 1t is the old law of "the
survival of the fittest" at work, and
the victims are many.
We repeat the assertion that coffee
does harm many people. not all. but
an army large enough to appal the in
vestigator and searcher for facts.
The next prevarication. of the coffee
importers and roasters is their state
ment that Postum Food Coffee is made
Of roasted peas, beans or corn, and
mixed with low grade of coffee and
that 1t contains no nourishment.
We have previously offered to wager
$100,000.00 with them that their state
ments are absolutely false.

The published statements Of num-

indicate "waspy" feeling towards us
for daring to say that coffee is harm
full to a percentage Of the people.
A frank public discussion of the SUBJ

certainly do no harm; on the contrary
when all the facts on both sides Of any
question are spread before the people
they can thereupon decide and act in

Give the people plain facts and they
