THE RISE IN OIL.

More crude petroleum is being taken
from the earth in the United States
than was ever produced at any former
period. The decline in the flow of old
wells is more than offset by the "gush-
ers" in new fields, especially in Cali
fornia. Yet the price of oil rises far
and fast and there is nothing TO indi-
cate that the market has permanent
top limit
Consumers Of all products ask why
these conditions, seemingly contradic-
tory. exist al the same time. They de-
mand an explanation from the oil re-
finers. especially the Standard Oil
company and its subsidiaries. The
strong independent companies are
fiourishing, but they are uneasy over
the possible consequences Of rapid
and repeated changes in the price of
crude oil.
Unless some deep and undiscovered
plan exists for far-Teaching warfare
In the oil business, the explanation
must be the immense and growing con.
sumption of petroleum products and
the outlook for still greater inroads
upon the stock OF oil now above
ground. The vast spread Of the auto,
mobile industry involves the consump
ton Of enormous quantities OF gaso

aal combustion engines in vessels ID
/ another important factor in the
strength of the market for crude pc
troleum and its products. More than
800 seagoing ships are already equip
ped vilh oil engines which DO no

but explode it in their cylinders

"As honest as the day is Ions"
HIS neighbors all agree:
He would not do kitten wrong,
So kind of heart Is he:
He would not cause a rabbit pain,
Nor overload his steed:
The fare upon his board is plain,
For he is poor indeed.
He would not say cruel word
Or strike an angry blow;
BY hatred he is never stirred.
He has not any foe;
He would not even harm a mouse.
Or rob worm Of life.
He lives within poor old house,
And has weary wife.
He would not steal. he would not cheat
For honoTs or for gold;
The shoes are frsyed upon his feet,
His clothes are cheap and old;
Within his breast greed has no place,
He Graves nor praise nor cheers;
The hair that grows upon his face
Has let her last hpe die.
"As honest as the day is long"
He goes his humble way,
Too lazy to indulge in song
Or make a venture pay;
His wife, with pleasures that are few,
Has let her last hope die.
But he is honest through and through,
And would not harm a fly"

souffles. Especially the baking. Only
practical experience leads to perfec-
tioh, though in reality It is an easy
matter if the making and baking are
carefully and thoughtfully done; but
the main point really is in the baking.
Well do we remember the old time
recipes for souffles, which said, Bake
in a hot oven and serve Immediately
or they will surely fall" II such d.
rections are followed a crust forms
quickly over the top, leaving the center
soft, and the souffle surely must fall as
sooh as removed from the oven. Again
if the heat is too great in the begin
ming of the baking. the crust forms
before it has a chance TO rise. If not
hot enough, the expansion Of the air
is not possible, which would also re-
suit in failure. Have a moderately
hot oven, put in the souffle and do
not open the oven door for at least 10
minutes and 20 minutes is better. 1t
should finish in 80 or 40 minutes. Serve
at once, if possible, If not, cover with
/ hot dish.
/ To successfully make souffles good
eggs are necessary, beating the yolks
and whites separately. And here is
where the real art lies in the making:
Incorporating all the air possible into
the eggs while beating Then the ex-
pansion of this air by moderate bak-
ing gives a light delicate souffle. Cut
and fold in the whites at the very last
moment.
1t is a most useful way Of using
''leftovers" in fruits, vegetables or
meat, and is always a favorite, dainty
dish.
BASIS FOR ALL SOUFFLES.
Materials-White sauce, one cup or
equally thick sauce of bread crumbs
and milk, cooked chopped meat, poul.
try, fish, cheese, etc, one-half to one
cup; eggs, one 10 four
Directions-Addt the meat to the hot
sauce; sometimes the meat is very
dry or the fish or vegetables very
moist, then more milk or bread crumbs
may have to be added accordingly
When cool add the well-beaten yolks
seasoning as needed, and fold in the
stiffly-beaten whites. Fill butteret

Council Bluffs. Feb. 1e.-The will OF
the late Ernest E. Hart, which was OF
fered FOR probate within few days or
his recent death, was formally admitted
to probate by Judge Thorneil. Under
the will Mrs. Hart is named as the
eSecutr;x without bond, and will have
entire charge OF the extensive business
affairs ef her husband.
No intimate has been given as to
the amount of the estate, and the
widow is especially exempted by the
forms of his will from filing formal
inventory of the estate. It is known.
however. that the property will amount
20 at least a half million dollars, and
may round out a full million.
The business affairs are expected to
cor tinue in much the same manner as
during the lifetime of Mr.. Hart, except
that the estate will gradually be con-
tracted upon more of a cash basis. The
real esta te holdings. both in Council
Bluffs end scattered over a number OF
states, are to be converted into cash in

another thing.
