A derrick has been put on the Mel

of Lock.

got but u million on the Rhodeback
farm near New Way.
The Crawford company's well on
the Jonathan Wright farm two miles
east Of Highwater came in with III
millions volume.
The Frank Baird well, four miles
east of Martinsburg, which was being
watched as being possible oil terri
tory, came in as a good gasser.
The Logan company has made To-
cation near Shell Beach, south shore
OF Buckeye Lake, as near as possible
to the four million Solinger No 2 of
the Ohio Fuel.
The Buckeye State company got an
other fine well, last week, on its Frank
Jones lease east of Utica. 1t was re-
ported Oh five millions volume, but that
was an exaggeration as 1t was tubed
with twoinch.
The two good wells of the Ohio
Electric company are not sufficient to
operate the power plant at Hebron,
and coal Is used under a part of the
boilers. Another well is being drilled
on the right of way near Buckeye
Lake. The rig is lighted by electricity.
Another big well was drilled in last
week, some four miles southeast of
Utica. 1t is the property of the Ever
ett company and Is on the Mark Ed
man lease Originally Jacob Stout
FARM east of the Leman Thrapp farm
and north Of David Layman. It's vol
ume is between five and six million
cubic feet per day, and it was neces-
sary to use three-inch tubing. The
Utica Gas, Oil & Mining company's
Phil Benear lease adjoins this on the
east.

said to be producing oil In considera-

has been drilled by the same COM
pany on the Edwin Ewart farm In the
same neighborhood, which is said to
show about the same capacity as an
oil producer. On the Walden Clutter
farm not far distant the Mohican COM
pany has a well from which good
deal of oil was hauled a few months
ago for use in heating the pipe for
bending 1t, on the big pipe line. Mr..
Clutter has plowed a furrow to keep
the oil from flooding his field, and any
visitor can see couple of coal oil
barrels filled with the fluid setting be-
side the well. Many of the well In that
general direction and further south
east give good showing of oil In the
Clinton sand. In the Clutter well the
oil was found at the very bottom OF

Governor Harmon will issue a proc
qamation designating the second Sun
day In May as Mothers Day." and
calling for general observance of It,.
Mrs. Samuel l.. Black, representing
Columbus women interested in the
movement to have such day cele-
brated each year, called on the gov
ernor and secured his consent to issue
the proclamation.
For the third time, the second Sun
day In May-which this year falls on
the Sth-will be observed as Mothers
Day"
Starting in 1908, at Philadelphia,
the idea being that of woman, Miss
Anna Jarvis, it has grown with re.
markable rapidity, until this year its
observance will be nationwide, and
there is but little doubt that 1t will
soon become an international festival
date, observed by Christians the world
over and possibly by Moslem and
heathen-for 1t is the one subject on
which all mankind can unite in com
mon reverence.
Mothers Day is one day in the year
set aside when every man is to per
form some act honoring his mother, or
her memory. He may wear a white
flower of some kind, preferably a
white carnatlon; perform some act OF
kindness to some person unfortunate;
send box of flowers to his mother,
or give a flower to some other person
or persons to wear. If 1t is impossi-
BILE to send flowers, letter may be
written or a visit made. In some way.
by some act of kindness or remem.
brance, tribute is to be paid to "the
best mother that ever lived-your
mother"
The day is not set apart for men
in particular, however. Every man,
woman and child is invited to join the
movement; to observe 1t himself and
TO help promote the general observ
Rnce of the day by getting some other
person to observe 1t. There are no
limitations of religion, denomination,
race, color, age or sex; there are no
