Oil Field Shows Activity.

Winchester, KY, March 1.-Several
new oil wells are going down in Nor
gan County and leases are bringing
almost fabulous prices. The two wells
at Camel City. though nearly a mile
apart, are steadily producing 800 to
400 barrels a day, and showing no
diminution in either the quantity or
quality of oil. Developments will fol-
low rapidly in this field as soon as
spring opens and the machinery can
be hauled over the mountain roads.
The Tarbell-Heydrick syndicate has
started the drilling of another new
well near the mouth of Grapevine,
in Perry County. and are still ad-
ding to their already large lease
of holdings in that vicinity. The syn
dictate now has nearly 100000 acres
under lease.

companies affected by the Supreme
Court decision OF last December had
until then still further advantage,
in that their contracts with indie
pendent companies, by which they
secured domestic coal at 50 per cent
of tidewater prices, were not dis
turbed when the price of coal was
increased in June.
While the so-called independent
operators paid their miners the same
increases in wages as the larger coal
companies, they got only 65 per cent
of the price raise. while 80 per cent
of it, or $40 cents ton went to the
big companies.
AS to the anthracite mine workers,
the report says that they benefited
by the strike agreement of May 20,
last, not only by an average increase
of SO per cent in their wages, "but
through the concession of certain
working conditions which were con-
sidered of importance, although they
cannot be measured in terms of mon
ey; an additional item of importance
to the miners being the partial rec
ignition of their organization, both
in the negotiations and in the form
in which the agreement was signed.
The report shows that all the OPP
orators, most of the dealers and the
miners, all gained by the increase
following the wage agreement and
that the consuming public alone
paid higher prices without any COM
pensation.

Ohio COUNTY TOBACCO
SOLD IN GREENSBORO
A. S. Of E. of Ohio County Sat-
urday Granted Release to
POolers, If Desired.

A called meeting of the tobacco
poolers of the Ohio County American
Society OF Equity was held at the
court house in Hartford Saturday
morning and afternoon for purpose
of deciding what should be done with
the crop of this county, the commit
tee having failed to successfully close
a deal.
1t was voted to release those pool
ers who felt that they had to make
an immediate sale of their tobacco,
giving them permission to sell any
where they wanted to or could, and
those who could hold off selling for
the present we're asked to bring their
tobacco to Hartford, and other Equity
houses in the county, where it would
be priced and held for a future sale.
1t was reported in Hartford Tues
day afternoon that none of the buy
ers in Owensboro would buy leaf
of Ohio county tobacco, but the Ow-
ensboro Messenger of Wednesday,
morning has the following to say vi
the deliveries there Tuesday:
Tuesday was really tobacco day
in Greensboro. The loaded wagons
came from every direction, and a
large amount OF the product was left
in Greensboro. Registration at the
several houses were heavy, and there
is sufficient tobacco in the city at
present to occupy the attention of
the receivers until Thursday night.
AS on Monday, a large amount of
Ohio county tobacco came into Ow-
ensboro, and many loads of this
weed were disposed of at the auction
house. Nine loads were handled by
Manager lancaster, and he has a
number OF consignments on hand to
offer to the buyers this morning
when the sales begin.
Both the Green River and the Eq-
uity associations received largely on
Tuesday. The latter association was
well represented in deliveries from
Ohio county. A great deal of the
amount sold by the Equity associa-
tion has been delivered, and the adj
mission of the Ohio county poolers
will not make a great deal of differ
ence, as it will take much more to
fill out their orders than they really
can furnish from Daviess county.
This is fortunate for the Ohio county
people.
The following sales were made at
the auction house on Tuesday: b.
F. Colbert, IS. $3.50, So; j. S. Ben
nett, 81, Sc, 81; l.. d. Bennett, IS,
$3.50. So; w. c. Ashley, 81, So, 81;

ARMY CHAPLAIN HAS
BUSY and WORTHY LIFE
Holding Religious Service Is But
Small Part Of Min
listers Work.

a chaplain with troops being a
noncombatant, although there have
been instances OF yalor and heroism
by men of their cloth, a doubt has
arisen in the thrifty legislative mind
whether money could not be saved
by dispensing with the army chaplain
ind calling local minister in post
towns to hold services.
This view of the matter displays
such a dearth of information about
the duties and usefulness of army
chaplans that one of them, Capt.
Joseph Clemens, of the Fifteenth In
fantry Ito give him his rank in the
service), has answered in a letter to
the Army and Navy Journal the ques-
ton not infrequently asked by men,
bers of Congress: OF what use are
army chaplains?
Conducting religious services is
small part of the army chaplain's
work, a minor part perhaps. If he
is the right kind Of a chaplain he
collects a library for the regiment,
distributes the books and takes care
of them. He obtains the books by
personal solicitation; they are not
bought with Government funds. One
teenth Infantry has library of
1000 volumes. and when the regiment
is ordered to the Philippines or any
where else the chaplain packs up
the books, together with stereopticon
and lantern slides, popular games, an
organ and music scores for the en-
tertainment of the troops overseas.
He must find place to display the
books and also reading room for
chaplain on duty in China-we sus-
pect it was Chaplain Clemens-ac-
quired a moving-picture outfit by the
sale of photographs. He was the en-
tertainer and lecturer. The chap
lain, it must begin to appear, has
other duties and occupations besides
preaching and praying.
He holds Sunday-schools for the
soldiers and officers children when
there are children. He superintends
post school for part of the year,
with one teacher all the year, for all
soldiers may attend school at least
four months, if they wish. He pre-
pares notices, plans services and en-
tertainments and supports his own
work even to securing his own hymn
books, because Congress cannot af-
ford to authorize such expenditures.
The right kind of a chaplain has
no idle hours. He visits the hospital
every day, not only to sooth and com
fort the sick, but to read to them
not homilies and exhortations to lead
better life, but chiefly humor in
prose and verse. Sometimes the chap
lain recites to the patients of a ward.
Daily he goes to the post prison with
words of cheer and an armful of mag
azines. The dying soldier calls for
him. and he bears the last message
to the mans family and receives me-
mentoes to be sent home. The chap
lain is the friend and guide as well
as the religious adviser of soldiers
who respect the cloth. He often
saves them from themselves and
keeps the secret. There are nights
for lectures and moving pictures as
well as night for prayer meetings
There are a hundred and one little
offices purely social that the chap
lain performs for the soldier New
York Sun.

ORGANIZE PRODUCERS DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE
Producers Development League Listens TO Talk from the Dairy
and Food Commissioner Dairy Cow Problem Discussed

There were about forty farmers,
ranchers and fruit raisers present at
the Commercial Club last Saturday
evening at the meeting called to COM
plete the organization of the Pro-
ducers' Development League. The
constitution and bylaws were adopt
ed practically as presented by the
committee appointed for that pur-
pose, the bylaws providing that the
officers elected at the previous meet
ing be the officers until the coming
annual election.
The greater part of the evening
was devoted to the discussion of
dairying and attendant problems. NJ
S. Schrock, deputy dairy and food
commissioner, was present and de-
livered well-received talk on the
subject. He told of the necessity of
keeping an accurate record of the
milk and butter fat of each COW in
the herd, giving an experience show
ing the necessity of a test and the
inefficiency of guesswork. At one
farm where he was requested to
make test of the cows the farmer
had one little COW which he declared
was worthless and wanted to sell.
His wife had always objected so
strenuously that he had not done So
4 test showed that this COW produced
double the butter fat of any other
COW in the herd. He has her yet and
is building up the herd from her
calves. =
Mr.. Schrock also spent some time
discussing the problems of housing
dairy cattle and distributed plans
and specifications for sanitary stalls,
which are so arranged as to keep the
COW, whatever her size, clean in the
stall. He answered a number of
questions regarding the care of the
dairy cattle and gave an extended
talk on the feeding of stock for this
purpose, also answering many ques-
tions in regard to the matter.
An important feature of the meet
ing was the appointment of com
mittee, the executive committee of
the league being SO named by the
chair, to take up the matter of Sc
curing more dairy cattle for this ter

This Evening.

Tonight the cast in "The Doll
Shop" will put on the finishing
touches and tomorrow night, July 1,
this delightful play will be presented
to the people of Ashland, at Chautau-

their most ardent admirers. The
young ladies of the cast are those of
ability and talent, of good voice and
with sufficient training to assure sue

the young men have had previous ex-
perience in theatrical productions
and many are favorites. 1t is but
superfluous to say that the boys will
come up to the standard Taken all
in all, "The Doll Shop" gives every
promise of being the stellar amateur
show of decade and it is safe to say
that those who witness it will, upon
the drop of the curtain, feel graterui
to the dear old shopkeeper for going

see all that takes place in his very
wonderful dream.

cooperation of the club in the mat
ter of financing the project of secur-

statement was heartily received by
the farmers and highly complimented
by Mr.. Schrock, who stated that he
was glad to see that the time was
rapidly passing in Oregon when the
farmers credit was not as good at
the banks as that of the business
men. Confidence between the farm
ers and the banks was essential to
the growth of any community.

high price for trimming and decora-
tive purposes.
There will be, once the quarries
are opened and established, steady
market in limited amount to the
monument trade in the west, but it
will not be large enough to warrant
the installation of tramways, der
ricks, ETC., necessary to successfully
and economically handle the stone,
but with the possibility of landing a
contract for the stone in the federal
buildings on the coast it becomes
feasible.
Messrs. Permission & Son do not
expect to secure local capital to any
great extent to develop the quarries,
expecting rather to interest eastern
men of money and of experience in
the business, but they do hope that
every resident of Ashland will be-
come booster for the use of Ash
land granite and help in that way to
build up an industry which will not
only bring many thousands of dollars
into the city, but will help to adver-
tise Ashland and her products
throughout the entire country. ~
