cure his cold the less the risk. Cham

A Popcorn Party For Children.

a centerpiece on glass mirror, with
a shore of popcorn. The boat shape,
made Of stiff paper. was entirely coy

sails. and the mainmast was also coat
ed with kernels of the popped corn.
The boat was filled with cargo OF
nuts and the little baskets with bon

STRIKE OVER STEAK.
Row Over Quality of Meat Ties Up

beefsteak served to him for Sunday
dinner.
Two unions-the carpenters and the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS interested in deter
mining the quality of the steak. The
carpenters struck in sympathy with the
foreman who discharged the 'fussy"
woodworker and was himself discharg-
ed The woodworkers struck because
the foreman was reinstated The plant
is practically tied up as a result of the
union row.
The woodworker in question, accord
ing to Anton Jehanesen, business agent
of the union, was living at a union
boarding house conducted by the shop
Last Sunday, it is said, he was dis
pleased with the quality of the dinner.
Steak was served, but it was not ten
der as usual The shop steward in
his capacity of boarding house keeper,
insisted that the steak was first-class.
The controversy resulted in the wood
worker changing boarding houses.
Yesterday he lost his place, being dis
charged by the foreman of the plant.
Mr.. Kirmse then was appealed to,
and ignorant of consequences, reinsta-
ted the discharged man, at the same
time getting a new foreman. The car
penters' strike followed, IA men walk
offered to take back his old foreman
to appease the strikers. Thereupon 16
woodworkers went on strike. Now all
are refusing to go to work.

market today broke early in the trading

improved crop conditions in eastern Eu-

independence, Kan. June 4.-Con-
trary to expectations the Midcontinent
oil field for May shows a slight i'm
crease in the number of wells drilled
and those which have made successful
producers. OF the 444 wells completed
during the month but thirty were fail
ures- The new production for thirty
one days was nearly $4,000 barrels.
There were APT competitions in April,
342 producers. As gassers, SO failures
and 2S,325 barrels new production;
March, 32S wells drilled. and 263 oil
wells, 4 5 gassers. 20 failures and an
estimated new production of 1910
barrels.
Mays average daily yield of pro-
ducing wells drilled was 67.1 barrels.
The estimate in April was 1913 bar
rels; March, 72S; February, 1866;
The slump is chargeable to the
Glenn pool. where, two months ago,
many wells were coming in at 1900
to $500 barrels in that district, now
only seldom does one reach 1000 bar
rels; most of them coming in at from
500 to 500 barrels a day.
In Kansas during May, forty-nine
Wells were drilled, thirteen being pro
ducers, twenty-eight gaSSers and eight
failures, with 207 barrels new produc-
ton. The average of the producers
was 15.4 barrels. Neosho county led
the development, practically all the
drilling there being for gas. Mont
gomery county came next.
Oklahoma has twelve more wells
drilled in May than in April, with 395
competitions. 372 oil wells, fourteen
gassers twelve failures and 24,756
barrels new production. an increase of
twelve competitions. twenty-three pro-
ducers and a decrease of two gassers,
nine failures and 3.4S4 barrels new
production. The average of the oil
wells was estimated at 6S.9 barrels.
