(To BE CONTINUED. }

Former State Senator Lake Jones,
Iof Wooster, Ohio, has been stopping
at the European Hotel several days,
and is interesting a large number of
Marion business men in the oil fields
near Belleville, Ohio. He is represent

and the Possum Run Oil & Gas COM
pany, both of which hold leases of
exceptional value. Mayor Geer of
Gallon, Is at the head of the Belle
vile oil enterprise.
The Senator, while now retired
from politics, is still one of Ohios
best known figures.
Many are the amusing stories told
regarding the senator's pllitical ca
reer. 1t is told that while he was
in the senate a question came up re-
gardng Lake Erie. Senator Jones
asked the chair to grant a recess of 10
minutes and his request was refused
"If the chair please" said the SEN
ator 81 wish TO state that while
