in raising an endowment for Old
Swedes. Two hundred and twenty
years ago the piety and Christian de-
yotion OF the settlers enabled them
TO erect this old building. which. as
time passes, comes more and more
TO typify the Cnchanging yet ever in
spring character of the Christian
religion. No other building i'm our
State is regarded so reverentially and
respectfully as this old church. in
which for so many generations the
fore-fathers of our people have gath
cred TO receive new inspiration and
profess faith in the teachings which
have made the world brighter and
better for 1900 years.
"Our people should welcome The
opportunity to show their interest in
this monument TO the piety of tho
carly settlers of our country, and
they should welcome the opportunity
OF joining in your efforts. without re-
gard TO sect or creed. I'm perpetuating
this shrine, dedicated for centuries to
implanting in the hearts and miNls
Of our people those ideas of justice
and humanity To which we all turn
for comfort In times like these.

opportunity TO show our belief I'm good

OF all our people since the beginnings

My Dear Mr.. kirlus: have re-
ceived your letter concerning the in-
auguration Of scheme for the per-
mancnt endowment Of Old Swedes
Church, and IL gives me great pleas
ure to endorse the movement which
you have started.
1.-THE Old Swedes Church and the
ground upon which il stands, is one
Of the Oldest landmarks not only in
the State Of Delaware but in the
whole United States. A short dis
tance from where the church now
stands is the landing place of the
earliest settlers in Delaware, the
Swedes the point being marked by a
monument With the growth OF our
city and its development in newer
neighborhoods. IL has naturally be-
come impracticable TO continue and
extend the scope Of the work and in
fluence of Old Swedes Church without
financial aid. Any movement tending
to permanently endow this ancient
church will not only help to per-
petuate spot of great historic inter-
est, but will be OF great benefit to
the community for all future time
yours very sincerely,

is nothing new in the embodiment Of
this statute, however novel the ap-
plication thereof might seem
Under this statute no producer
has legal right to take from the
common source of supply more than
his pro rata share thereof, and in
equity and good conscience and
therefore in law he has no right to
do so independent OF the statute
In the recent order of the COM
mission definite findings were made
concerning conditions in the Healdton
field, and under the statute and like
wise under the law independent Of
the statute as set forth and discussed
in said order, no operator has a right
to take from the sands in said field

waste, ana in accordance with the Just
and equitable taking provided for in

Signs of the Times.

The impression is general that con-
ditions in the Healdton field are on
the eve of change. Some changes
are probable that will result in a
reasonable demand for the oil which
will brush aside the necessity of the
conservation oil order just issued by
the commission. One producer said:
when the commission seeks to stop
producers who did not join with the
Producers Refining company, when it
rules that those fellows had their day
in court and are not entitled to sell
and relieve the line from being a COM
mon purchaser it has waded into
water from which it can not get out"

able to foresee, but so many parties

with the suggestion that in cases
where the common purchaser had not
taken the full pro rata share of
producer prior to the enactment of
the law, because such producer had
sold oil to others than common

full pro rata share from the common
source Of supply, such common pur-.
chaser may perform his duty under
the law as i. existed at that time.
provided the purchaser has oil in
storage from which tle deficiency in
his pro rata runs to the common
purchaser may be made; but that
such producer should not take oil at
this time from the common source of
supply to make up this deficiency.
