NOW
THEN and

Today the Oil wells of the United
States are annually producing two-
thirds Of the crude petroleum con-
sumed thruout the world. The yield
reaches the enormous total of about
10000. 100000 gallons year with a
wholesale value estimated at $500, 900, =
900. They have created the greatest
single fortune In the world, Rockefel-

aires owe their present wealth to the
sticky fluid. OIL has called into exist
ence huge webs Of pipe lines, aggregat-
Ing more than $4,000. miles in length,
which convey the crude product of the
oil wells to the refineries where 1t is
transformed into its many forms Of
commercials olene. naptha, thera-
pautic ointments and jellies, illumi-
mating oils. greases and poisonous dyes
1t has created great fleets Of specially
designated oil carrying vessels that
sail the seven seas distributing the
product of American oil wells to all
parts of the earth. In the guise Of
gasolene 1t is driving the millions Of
automobiles thru the world. 1t sup
plies the power for vessels and rail-
road engines. 1t has driven wax and

700 different varieties.

SSosess
August is the silent month. This may
be challenged by those who listen to
the humming. the droning or the
strident scrapings Of the insects and
who hear the occasional calls and
/ seedlings Of the birds. But August is
natures silent month, none the less.
The winds rest in August. The time
OF the singing Of birds is gone. save for
sparrow, which can't keep silent, and
the more or less continuous singing OF
the ovenbird and the red eyed vireo.
The fields and the forests are silent
places in this midsummer month. The
birds retire to the roadside thickets or
to the depths of the woods. 1t is the
month of trouble for bird life. From the
eagle to the humming bird the pain
runs. 1t is the molting season, and
melting is no pleasant process. There
are only two or three birds which have
the grit to sing when pain grips them.
August ushers in the fall. altho the
almanac will not admit it. Late in the
month the sumac begins to blaze ano
the first red and yellow show in the
leaves of maple and birch. The migra-
ton southwark of the birds is we'll on

Someone has said that August Is si-
lent because its throat is dry. The
month knows rain, but not SO intimate
ly as September. August. however, Is
the friend of the growing things
Nature nodded the month to do her
service, and she knows what to do and
how to do it-Chicago Evening Post.

police and county authorities. All ef-

or drink since she was removed to the

the woman is demented or has been
drugged.

usual and battling which has held
police attention in many months.
Last evening the night wa,chman at

the police that a woman who acted
queerly was at the East End produce
house and Officers O'Brien and Moore
upon visiting the premises observed the
woman who was sitting erect upon a
box in the rear of the building. When
the officers approached she gave not
the slightest heed and when questioned
by the officers made no reply. She
continued to stare coldly and fiXedly
and her condition was such as to de-
mand attention hence her removal to
the county jail.

That the woman's mind is affected
is indicated by the eXpressionless face.
which is absolutely devoid of the light
of intelligence. Since her removal to
the jail she has not uttered a word
which would give the slightest clue as
TO her identity or would serve to indi-

touch foods which We're placed before
her, taking no notice whatever of them.
