The September issue of"Trust Com
panies," one of the leading financial
magazines of the country, contains an
elaborate and very interesting article on
the Giro system of transferring credits by
II. X. Merritt, secretsry-treasurer of the
Oil City Trust company. 1t is in very
general use throughout Germany and was
recently adopted by the Oil City bank
The system as introduced by the Oil City
bank is somewhat modified, to fit Ameri-
can conditions, and saves considerable
time and money to its customers. 1t has
so far proved very successful.
Perhaps no present-day movement
among the Protestant Evangelical
Churches has created a wider attention
and interest than the one characterized
by the initials, o. A. B. c., which stands
for Organized Adult Bible Glass. The
movement is connected with the Sunday
Schools of the country and Is endorsed by
all denominations. A rally of the rep.
resentatives of these classes will be held
Friday, October l4th, at Altoona, in con-
nection with the Annual Convention Of
the Pennsylvania State Sabbath School
Association, October II, l3, IA.
w. +. Burkett, of Centre county, ten
years ago set a four-scre stony patch with
peach trees at total cost of$75. Twelve
hundred bushels was the yield this year,
and Mr.. Burkett is handing the fruit out
az fast as he can pick it at 81 so bushel.
The orchard presents a beautiful sight,
with the trees so loaded with fine rosy
peaches that the branches have to be
propped up. Here'sa a hint for some of
our agriculturists. There IS never time
that peaches do not bring at least $l.5O a
bushel, and oltener the better qualities
bring nearly double that figure.
The Kane oil company of which II.
G. Zeller is the head, brought in their
second good well last week on their
lease Just below Dawson station. The
we'll is on Haslet island and was drilled
through good pay streak in the second
sand at about 1913 feet. The hole filled
with oil to within few feet of the top.
The we'll was not shot, but since being
tubed has been flowing off about three
times day as 1t is opened, making
production of nearly ten barrels. The
company's first we'll, on Dawson island,
is being troubled by a strong flow of salt
water.
In the Oil City Derrick's monthly re-
port showing the operations during sep
tember in the oil fields east of the Missis-
sippi, except the Continent, the
figures show decrease of AZ wells COM
pleted and of 1904 barrels in new pro-
duction as compared with the results for
August. The same fields show an in
crease Of IA in new work at the close of
September over the total at the close OF
August. Fields producing Pennsylvania
oil show decrease OF % in the number o
wells completed, 473, but an increase of
746 barrels in new production, the total
being 4,0i2 barrels a day. OF dry holes
and gas wells there are 27 less for Sep
tember than for August.
The latest telephone invention is one
Of tha r,aonaut and rnoSt un1allapt non
trivances that we have ever heard of. 1t
is called the telechronometer, and is moth
ing more nor less than a meter attached
to the telephone which registers the
subscriber. 1t is intended to make the
telephone user pay for current in the
same way that he pays for light current.
We say "he," but we really think of the
gender. What will "she" say when she
has her first bill to pay? She may say q
great deal then, but then again she is
likely to say great deal less thereafter
at least over the phone. The telech rono-
meter is plain suppression of the femi-
