Seeks to Prevent Drilling Of
Wells at Random.
ILLINOIS FIELD IS STUDIED
Geological Survey Tells Where In
Southwestern Illinois II Seems
Probable Oil or Gas May
Be Found.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE govern.
ment has gone into the business of
furnishing tips"
The United States geological sur
vey has issued a statement headed
Geological Survey Gives Oil Tips"
The statement added that the purpose
Of this tip to oil men and land own
ers Is Ito divert random wild eating
from unpromising territory to explora-
ton in areas whose rock structure
and other geological factors hold out
greater promise for the occurrence Of
oil pools"
discovery Of the Carlyle, ILL.,, oil
field last spring and the excitement
attending it has aroused interest in
oil and gas prospecting throughout the
southwestern part of the state. An
oil boom can be compared only to a
gold rush. Many seasoned oil opera
tors paid fabulous prices-ten, TWEEN
ty and even thirty thousand dollars
each for leases on farms which were
found to have no oil under them.
much money is even yet being
spent in random drilling or wild cat
ting far away from the producing ter
ritory, but most of such wells are un-
productive and the money spent in
getting the leases and in sinking the
wells Is lost.
"E w. Shaw Of the United States
geological survey has been making a
study Of large part of Clinton, Wash
ington and st. Clair counties and has
discovered several districts in addi-
ton to that at Carlyle, in which at
least the structure of the rocks is
such as to favor the accumulation of
oil and gas, whereas the remainder of
the territory probably contains nothing
but salt water
"The following places have been Sc
lected as worthy Of being tested for
oil and gas: The vicinity OF Darn
stadt northeast of Lensburg; about
Marissa and extending for several
miles toward Oakdale: between Nash
vile and Addieville; the vicinity of
Hoffman; between Mascoutah and
Granville; between Trenton and
Breese; in a belt extending from a
few miles north to a few miles south
of O'Failon; the central part of Irish
town township, northeast of Carlyle;
one to three miles northeast of Bar

SAVE BEST HENS FOR MATING
Leg Band and Trap Nest Are Almost
Indispensable for Success
Care of Flock.

The season is approaching when
the poultry keeper will be gin to pick
out his best birds for the next sea-
sons matings. None but the best
should be used in the breeding pens,
and if the breeder has hatched eggs
from his best hens of last season he
is reasonably sure of some good
birds. If breeder is trying for per-
lection in any form, the leg band and
the trap nest are almost indispens-
able.
The careful breeder can estimate
very closely the value of the young
stock for future breeders. He knows
the good and bad points Of each of his
birds, and has mated to overcome
defects and improve points already
good. Every year he is nearer perfec-
ton, and every year greater care is
taken of the flock, for he has learned
the value of cleanliness and proper
food. Insects will never sap the life
Of his flock and kill the vitality of
his breeders. Tainted food or water
never reaches them, everything is
fresh, pure and clean. They have
plenty of room in their winter quar-
ters, and he provides exercise by
throwing the grain in chaff on the
floor. He does this in the evening
after they have gone to roost, and
they have had their breakfast long
before he has had his own morning
meal.
After he has learned the right way
and got fairly good start the work
is easy and pleasant, and seems to
swing along without any difficulty.
AS in everything else It is the begin
ner who experiences the difficulties,
for he has very little knowledge to be-
gin with, and often pays dearly for
the knowledge he acquires, but 1t
does not take long to understand the
most essential points in poultry keep
ing. One must keep on learning,
however, there should be no standing
still; every day something helpful
may be learned, and it is well to keep
a notebook in which to iot any little
item that may prove helpful later on.
for It is not well to trust ones mem
ory too much.

whole appearance suggesting some
dwarfed descendant of the Pleistocene
age. Some specimens weighed as
much as 600 pounds, but these giants
are very rare nowadays. An expedi-
ton that sailed from San Francisco
with the special object of getting spec
linens of the Galapagos turtle, after
considerable difficulty could only find
a few weighing 40 or 80 pounds. For
merly, cruisers or ships that stopped
at the island had no difficulty in kill
ing great numbers of these reptiles,
but latterly a combination Of circum-
stances are working for their complete
extinction.
OF oil that can be used in place of
lard. The medium-sized ones contain
from five to six gallons of this prod
uct, worth about rs cents, gold, per
gallon, and as It is very simple mat
ter to extract the oil, It is easily seen
how the turtle hunters would pursue
their calling until they had complete
ly exterminated this remarkable rep
tile. The dogs that roam the islands
have also contributed to the destruc-
ton of the turtles.
The Ecuadorean government has
several times begun negotiations for
the disposition Of the islands, and as
far back as 1851 the preliminaries Of
transfer were arranged with the
United States, the sum offered being
SS.O00OO for the right OF collecting
the guano that could be found on the
islands. For various reasons the deal
fell through. and while since that
time tentative negotiations have been
commenced during different admins
trations. no definite agreement has
ever been reached

and these desolate shores were only
touched by an occasional whaler OF
some circumnavigating sailor, the
archipelago actually remaining nc
mans land until February II, 1882
when the Ecuadorean government for
mally took possession of the group. It
Is curious to note that this act Of oc-
cupation was inspired by a North
American, a Louisianian named VII
lamil, who left his native territory
when 1t came under the jurisdiction OF
the United States.
AS already stated the Indigenous
animal life of the archipelago is in its
way perhaps the most interesting in
the world. When Darwin first visited
the islands he determined 26 distinct
species Of land birds, rs of which were
found nowhere else In the world, and
since that time other naturalists, who
have studied this feature, claim that
there are IS peculiar species, and pos
sibly more. Darwin puts forward the
hypothesis that all of these are de-
scended from a single species, having
been modified in form and color dur
ing the course of ages.
OF the reptiles, the most interesting
are the turtles and lizards. The for
mer, the Galapagos, are found no.
where else, and at one time literally
swarmed over the islands. They were
huge, measuring sometimes three feet
from the breast shell to the dome Of
the back; slow of movement, making
about four miles day when walking;
long, thin necks and curiously small
heads and broad fiat happers; their

FEW RULES FOR DIETING
Too Much Trifllng With Digestion
These Days and Much Harm
Results.

Here are few rules that the girl
who is determined to diet does well
to observe There is too much trifiing
with our digestion these days, and not
the least harm is done by the notion
for undertaking.
Never diet on the advice Of friend.
Her regimen may have done wonders
for her and viii put you to bed or
make you a sorry-looking wreck.
Don't diet to excess at any time.
Girls, make sure she knows dietetics.
Many physicians, good In other things,
have little knowlege of the effect Of
food upon the system.
If you want to diet from cause, as
from diabetes or kidney trouble, do it
religiously; almost better not begin
than to do 1t spasmoGically, letting up
whenever food temps you.
If you only diet for the sake Of fig
ure or complication, count the cost be-
fore starting. Cutting out the foods
of ordinary family meals is hard Ask
yourself, (Which means most to me,
the loss of few pounds or being a
nuisance at mealtime?'
Don't keep on dieting If you feel
that it disagrees with you This holds
good even when your food list is care
fully censored by a physician The
best of them will make mistakes.
Find out in time what is wrong.
Don't diet to excess at any time.
Women often go to the point of weak
ening their entire system by injudi-
ciously following a doctors advice.
Common sense and moderation are
good things to hold to in the matter
nf food

"In England" says the London Daily
Mail, love dwells and remains in the
inmost secret recesses Of the soul; 1t
does not circulate about in the air.
That is why the air in England is
somewhat cold And that is why
closed up hearts there burn SO in
tensely. For the English love is not
the delightful occupation Of youth, 1t
is the very warp through which the
whole life is woven"

"Atheistsn converted.

A number of Servian conscripts, on
entering Belgrade barracks to serve
their time, announced themselves as
atheists so as to avoid attendance in
church. The commander got them to
clean out the yard and stables every
Sunday morning while their comrades
went to mass. The atheists have
now asked to be instructed with a
view to conversion to the national
creed.
