WICOMICO OIL

GOING AHEAD
Experts Will Sink A Large
Well ParSOnSbuFg At

PROMOTERS SAY THERE
IS INDICATION OF OIL

SALISBURY, Md, Jan. 9.-The pro-
moters OF the Wicomico Oil and Gas
Company are driving ahead with
their plans to sink some oil wells at
Parsonsburg. The promoters are
very enthusiastic over their prospects
Of striking oil. There is already
plenty Of gas on the property. This
week F. A. Grier was engaged to test
he gas for lighting purposes with an
electric sparker. 1t was found the
gas was Of fine quality and was
easily ignited.
The Wicomico Oil and Gas Com
Dany, a 100000 corporation, was re-
oently chartered in Delaware for the
purpose of drilling for oil and gas on
The east side of the county, have their
experts in the field, and It is an as
sured fact that drilling of wells will
commence within the next month.
The experts who are examining
he territory for the purpose Of sink
ing wells, report exceptionally favor
able conditions for the finding Of gas
and oil, for in sinking a shallow well
as a test, they struck gas in such
quantities that they had trouble in
capping the pipe, for the flow was
so great that the atmosphere was per-
meated with the nOxious fumes.
1t is the intention of the company
to bore at least ten wells in making
the final test. The conn any to date
holds under lease about ] square mile
Of land, which covers the territory Of
Parsonsburg and Pittsville.
There have been two syndicates rep

music that are offered IN
Omaha
Here are several pages Of
this great daily paper given
over exclusively 70 the teach
ers Of different branches OF the art
who live right hero among us. whom we
may know and meet in our daily life,
and whose work may be seen and studied
both at long and short range
There are opportunities offered to WOO

means by the divine instrument which IS
formed by our vocal chords, or by any
OF a variety Of man made, instruments
which have been for centuries developing

even yet in a transitional stage In

Of wooing but also in the characteristics
OF the maid to be won. here melody and
harmony. the principles by which she
has learned through bitter experience TO
guide her life
There Is hardly an instrument upon
which one may wish to learn to play, but
that there Is a teacher residing in Omaha
who wishes TO teach t.
The most generally studied subjects
are tho voice. piano and violin. The vo-
cal chords OF course form the most won

Just AZ there IL a variety OF instru-

there is also q variety OF instructors from
Omaha daily bee., 1914-10-04

once upon a time there we're two music
teachers. One began at the age of seven
and studied more or less continuously
except In the summertime, until the age
Of sixteen. After that instruction was
less regular until the completion of the
High school course, when a year was
spent in nothing but musical work. A
college course then interfered. but after
that another period OF music study, and
then instructing. The other did not study
at all until the age Of fifteen, after which
five or six years OF continuous work fol-
lowed. OF course in a teachers life there
is more or less performing demanded,
and also more or less interference In reg
ular practice After a summer spent
away from music for both of them, the
teacher who studied in childhood will
regain fluency and technical command
in half the time OF tho other, while the
one who started in later life is really
the better worker of the two.
II il we're a case OF physical digestion
the necessity would be apparent. The man
who eats a small meal three times a day
will have a better constitution than the
man who waits until night and then stuffs
all he can hold into his poor stomach.

Some may have greater knowledge Of

could satisfactorily answer the most ques-

On the other hand there are so many
pupils who never ask the teacher any
thing. They take what tho teacher says
10 take and either fearing to expose
ignorance or that the teacher will think
they are stupid, they never ask why they
ara doing certain things, It may never
occur to them to ask. but like the troop
ers at Balaklava they bllndly do the best
they can. One might say that the best
pupils are those who own and use a
musical dictionary, and supplement its
use by asking their teachers the most
questions. They are paying the teacher
10 teach them music. and unless he can
give them satisfactory reasons for doing
certain things thus and so. there is no
reason why they should do It,

There Is no reason why Omaha students
and teachers should not hold their own
in comparison with students and teachers

conditions are similar. The key 70 sue

ocrity from oneself. even though il may

amount OF religion in good, clean, honest
work
If the students will demand from them
selves nothing but the best that is in
them and will not listen to the siren
pleasures which so often lure them astray,
II they do not cease their striving when
they feel that they have forged ahead OF
their local contemporaries, but keep q
constant watch in the lookout tower for
something new TO learn TO speed them on
their way. there is no reason why they
cannot become a power for the alvance-
ment OF musical art in our city and an
inspiration to other students, as well as
tc their teachers.
II they would do this under the best
instruction they could find in Omaha,
when they went forth for new fields to
conquer they might be surprised to find
out how much they had been able to learn
by staying home and doing good, hard.
real work under their own vine and fig
tree
The reason Omaha does not develop
more wonderful prodigies and larger
species Of the same kind is not because
competent instruction is not right at hand
but because our petted and pampered
younger generations do not know the
meaning OF those magical words-careful,
conscientious, hard work.
There is a little couplet which has come
down to the writer through several gem
erations from the time when her grand
mothers spun, which goes something like
this:
The fault is not in the wheel, and the
fault Is not in the band,
But the fault is in the lazy one who takes
the wheel in hand.

the spread Of appreciation Of good music.
The phonograph, the mechanical plano

the work Of the teachers who have been

much for this. When people In general

can see them gradually winning for them

merits the chances are that tho people
who taught those pupils knew their busi-
ness, and their fame spreads. We have
many amateur musicians here in Omaha.
