The Derrick in its monthly oil report
says there was general decline in wells
completed, new production and dry holes
in the oil fields east of the Mississippi
River during September, with the excep-
tion of Kentucky, which completed few
more wells and made slight gain in new
production over August. The largest
decrease was recorded in the fields pro-
ducing Pennsylvania oil, but more wells
were completed in these sections than in
any other part of the regions. While
nearly 100 fewer wells we're completed
east the Mississippi in September than
in August, the decrease in new produc-
tion was less than 400 barrels.
There comes a report from another
part OF the state that bachelor has Just
made peculiar will. He was worth a
million and, after several comparatively
small bequests, he left the bulk of his
estate to the children OF two young cous-
ins, aged respectively twenty-three and
eighteen years. His will specifically
states that they are to marry early and
rear families to whom this fortune is to
descend. He certainly must have dis
covered in his lonely life that happy
fatherhood is worth more than gold, and
therefore coveted it for these young rel
atives. He took pretty good way OF
persuading them to heed his advice.
