KENTUCKY GROWING As
OIL PRODUCING STATE
The Output In Year 1918 Was
1862 Barrels Above
That of 1912.

Washington, Jan. 10.-As a pc
troleum-producing State, Kentucky
Is steadily growing in importance.
This Is indicated in a report Just is
sued by the Geological Survey. Dur
ing the last year the production of
petroleum in Kentucky was SOC. 900
barrels. 1862 more than were pro-
duced in the State in 1912.
While the industry grew in Ken
lucky the production in Ohio, West
Virginia, Indiana and Illinois de-
creased materially.
The production Of petroleum in
Kentucky last year showed healthy
growth said a Government geolog-
list to-day.
I'm 1912 the State produced 4S4.-
1858 barrels. while in 1918 IL produc-
ed half a million barrels. III this
percentage of increase is continued
and have no doubt 1t will be,
Kentucky will climb steadily toward
the top of the list OF important oil
producing States.
The possibilities of finding oil in
Western Kentucky aroused much
general interest and the Survey Is
receiving many letters of inquiry
each day from interested persons In
that territory regarding the practi-
cability OF opening up new wells"
The output of the Ohio field last
year was 100000 barrels. as
against S.969,0O7 in 1912; that of
West Virginia was II 100000 last
year, as against 12,12S. 962 In 1912:
that OF Indiana was s00,O barrels
IN 1918. as against $40, 900 the pre-
Wous year. and the production .of
Illinois was 22.00O,O0O barrels In
1913. In 1912 Illinois produced
2S,6Ol ,30s barrels.
The total amount of petroleum
produced In the several States last
year exceeded 100000. 900 barrels.
according to the estimates of the
Government Geologist. The total
production In 1914 that made the
record up to that time, was 222.-
1l3.2iS barrels.

HARTFORD'S WELFARE.

The Herald has received several
compliments anent the article last
week concerning law observance in
Hartford. There was no purpose in
writing 1t only for the good of the
town and its people. Hartford is
going to be just what a majority OF
its people want IL to be. Public SEN
timent Is a powerful factor and 1t
works here just about the same as
1t does elsewhere. But II the better
element of the people in any town
become lax in their attention and
indifferent to evil influences that be-
come manifest. then that town will
retrograde accordingly and the OPP
probrious influence will be master
of the situation. Past history and
experiences In this matter teach us
that the evil spirit is much more
alert and active than the good. 1t
is the passively inclined citizen who
does no harm himself and thinks
most people are likewise actuated.
who is sometimes stumbling
block to progress and the enforce
; ment OF law. 1t behooves public
spirited citizens to ever be on the
watch.
II people defy the law and its Of
ficers. II blind tigers are permitted
To ply their trade and tough places
are allowed to exist. II Is generally
the fault OF the better class of peo-
pie who permit these things to re-
main, after hearing about them No
officer of the law can perform his
duties effectively unless he is backed
by the active and powerful ally of
public sentiment. He needs II and
ought to have IL. Cooperation in
municipal progress and law enforce
ment is as needful as II Is in bust
ness. No town can get along well
without II. A law-abiding commun-
ity is one whose people are ever on
the alert that their cherished prin-
ciple shall not be violated.
Hartford is good old town and
her people are OF the same type OF
No evil will be allowed
10 exist or be manifested here UNI
ess her people permit IT, We have
IN abiding faith In the good senti-
nent and cordial spirit OF the town
md somehow we believe our munic-
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1914-01-14

ipality is starting out upon an era
of progress and worthy effort-in
everything which these terms imply
more sanguine and promising
than any that has preceded it. Let
everybody work together for the
common good of all, being ever
mindful. however. that few towns
are without their evil agencies and
influences which should be kept un-
der strict ban.

Wheat-The position of the wheat
market is one of rather more pro-
nounced stability. There has been a
slight reaction from the top in ex-
port grades, and club is quoting of &c
to SLIP, while bluestem has reacted
1c to silly, but the general undertone
of the market is one of we'll sustained
prices and demands, with require
ments adequate to care for all avail
able offerings. Spot operations have
subsidized to a considerable extent, fol-
lowing recent furry, partly due to
the fact that pressing demands have
been supplied, and partly because
stocks are being steadily depleted in
the hands of interior holders. Some
business is passing right along, how
ever, and the export movement is be-
ing sustained, with every reason to
believe that our entire surplus will
find a requirement abroad at full fig
ures.
Flour-The firm position of the flour
market continues a feature of the sit
uation, the recent advance of an addi-
tional zoe per barrel being fully sus-
tanned, so far as the situation in pat
ents is concerned. There is no
marked change in the export situation,
although some improvement is report
ed, both in the way of business actu-
ally booked, and in prospective ship
ments to European points, though
many mills still report quiet condi-
tions. Prices are around S4.60Q4.70,
with strong undertone.
Feed-The market for cereals is
still a strong one, with a general adj
vance of 81 per ton, bringing oats to
$4,000, barley to $25@36 and feed
wheat to $37@3s in carload jobbing
lots. Hay is tritie firmer for alfalfa
and wheat hay, while millfeed is rul-
ing steady at the recent decline.

WARSAW CAMPAIGN FAILURE

Emperor's Soldiers

Petrograd, via London, Nov. 3O.-A
review of the military operations in
the last week by both sides in the
rear of Lodz as given out here semi
officially, says that the German army
under General MacKenzen has been
cut in three parts.
The right wing is still struggling
IS miles west southwest of Lodz in
an attempt to unite with the column
sent to it's assistance from Wielum
The center is 10 miles northeast by
north of LODI, and is still engaged in
desperate effort to cut it's way west
to rejoin the left wing which is par
TALLY cut off from the strongest po-
sition on the vistula This army, the
review asserts, is moving back before
Russian onslaughts, but is stubbornly
disputing the Russian advance.
In this quarter the Russian advance
is from Gombin, fifty miles north of
LODI 1t is estimated that the centers
of the three parts of the German force
are at least 20 miles apart, and that
the middle one is acting on its own in.
itiative, being completely isolated
from the others.
1t is said that the main bodies of the
German wing are maintaining a thin
line of communications to the rear,
extending in semi-crcular shape dis
lance of 40 miles. Russian experts
declare this situation is almost I'M
precedented in the history of warfare.
In the opinion of these experts the OPP
erations will not result in the COM
plete surrounding of the Germans, but
they declare that the purpose of the
German campaign against Warsaw has
been entirely frustrated.
Kings at Front.
London, Dec. 2--The battle in north
ern Poland, concerning the progress of
which there has been so much mystery,
is now being fought out under the eyes
of the German emperor on the one
side and the Russian emperor on the
other These two monarchs left for
the front today, so that virtually the
heads of all the nations at war are
with their troops. The king of Eng
land is in France, the king of Belgium,
as usual, is spending all his time with
his soldiers, while President Poincare
of France started today for another
visit to the northern battlefield.

BERiNG SEA ICE DRIVEN UP
AGAINST CITY PROPERTY
FOR MANY BLOCKS.
WORST IN SEVERAL YEARS
All Trails impossible and Many
Camps Along Shore Flooded
Storm Increases in Fury
Telephone Lines Down.

Name, Alaska, Dec "a furious
blizzard which has been raging three
days has forced the Boring sea ice
pack up against the backs of the
buildings, where so much property was
destroyed by the great storm in Oc-
tober, 1914, and has driven the water
farther inland than it has been in
several years. All trails are impass-
able and several mining camps along
the shore are surrounded by water.
All attempts to move the mails have
been abandoned because the dog
teams can not cross the bridges and
are unable to go against the blizzard
Ice Pack May Prevent Washout.
The water along the beach is rising,
but it is believed the ice pack which
has been damned against the buildings
and bulkheads along the water front
at Nome will protect them from the
water and it is thought there is little
likelihood of their being washed away
as they were year ago
At the smaller camps along the
shore conditions are not as favorable.
Solomon, 80 miles east of Nome. and
Dickson, the railway terminus at the
mouth of the Solomon river, are sur
rounded by water and ice.
The storm is increasing in fury.

ernor general in Belgium.
Emperor William, according to Ber-
lin advices, is at present with the Ger
man army in the east.
The president of the French repub-
lie. M. Poincare, and Premier Viviani,

statement gives an optimistic view of
the situation in France and Belgium
from the standpoint of the allies.
While comparative quiet prevails
along the battle lines in Flanders and
northern France, official reports of
troops from the eastern theater of
the war indicate that the fighting at
various points, particularly in Rus
