THE MOURN Frs.

Some people fret because they get
No credit and no praise,
And some because they are beset
BY hard luck all their days;
Some people sigh because the sky
May not be always blue,
And many men are saddened by
The friends who prove untrue.
Some people find the daily grind
A thing that tries their souls;
Some feel dismay day after day
Because of warts or moles;
Some people grieye because they
leave
The pathways that are straight;
Some mourn their failure to achieve
The glory OF the great.
Some people moan because, unknown
Their talents go to- waste;
And some because they sit alone,
Unwooed and unembraced;
Some people weep because
They reap no crops from seeds
they SOW,
And some are sad because they've
had
Unlovely rows to hoe.
Some people let themselves forget
That gladness may be gained,
Because they find themselves in debt
And always are restrained;
Worst fools of all are they who bawl
Their sorrows to the crowd,
And SWIVEL when their fellowmeD
Have reason to be proud.

be valuable for the development of water power.
So far the coal lands concerned the survey policy

CADDO OIL FIELD.

The development of the Caddo oil field in Louisiana
has been remarkable The first shipments made December
1906 amounted to 1858 barrels In 1907 the district expand
ed considerably and the production 9Os barrels The
year 1908 showed still greater growth both territory and
production Notwithstanding the handicap caused the high
water in May and June of that year. The production of oil
in 1908 was 993 barrels In 1909 it was 1OSSlS barrels
and in 1910 yield of 5o9093 barrels recorded valued
at $2292O The number of wells completed increased from
in 1906 to % in 1907 So in l90S 21 in 1909 and 226 in
1910 In 1910 the oil producing wells numbered 1914 and those
producing gas 49, The geological survey estimates the oil
ductlon for 1911 to have been at least 100000 barrels
The Caddo oil field now not only large producer Of
petroleum. but the greatest gas producing region of the
United States Only small portion however, of the gas has
been used For several years the waste in this field was

LAWRENCE, Mass, March LOT
iic.a! announcement that the Ameri-
c1fff- WOODEN Co, mas granted i've
per cent Increase in all OF their 33
mills, was made by VIM. ID. Haywood
at the strike committee meeting here
today
La all OF the 80 mills OF the Ameri-
can Wooden Co, in New England, toy
day, the following notice was posted!
In all mills OF this company a
new schedule OF wages will be
Lut into effect March 4, 1912. In
volving increases In the rates
now paid by the hour and the p
piece.
The wages will be re-adjusted
according TO classes and occupa-
tons, but in every case the In
crease viii amount TO at least
five per cent.
No definite action was taken be-
lore noon by the strikers on the Of
fers OF the Arlington and American
Wooden Go. mills, granting the OPP
cratiye five per cent increase and
90 hours pay for "a hours work.
Many argued for holding out for the
original demand of 10 per cent,
adjustment OF the premium system,
and double pay for overtime.
On one point all who attended the
meeting were agreed. That was that
the strike should continue until Jo-
seph Ettor and Arturo Giovannetti
are liberated on bail, while awaiting
hearing by the grand jury on
charges OF being accessories TO the
murder OF Anna Lopizzo, who was
killed during clash between strik-
ers and police, on Jan. 20.
All Hebrew and Italian delegates
stood together in declaring the orig
inal demands would have to be met
before they would return to work.
Strike leaders are sanguine that
some understanding between all
classes OF workers and the mill own
ers will be reached in time for the
operatives TO be back at work, Mon
day.

ago prevented them leaving town as
sisting them, Is children OF the
