OIL and GAS

The Salt sand development at
Spencer, Roane county, Is the most
lively section in West Virginia. De-
spite the fact that the last two wells
completed came in busters, holders
OF town lot leases are going ahead

Belcher farm. On the same stream
and in the same district, the South
Penn Oil Company has completed
and shot its test on the L. G.. Alexan-
der farm and will not have better

This Grand Work Should
Not Cease for Lack of Funds

1t is saddening TO note the decision OF
the American Red Cross 10 Withdraw It's
doctors and nurses from the European
battlefelds on October l.
Of the sixteen units all will return TO
the United States with the possible eX-
ceptoin of the two in Belgium the point
at which there is the greatest need.
The action of the Red Cross is neces-
STATED by lack of funds, as by the date
mentioned the general fund aggregating
81 $4,000, will have been exhausted.
At the beginning of the war many
American philanthropists, men and
women of great wealth, came to the
front with proffers of aid to the war
sufferers.
Money and personal services were
freely rendered.
A number of individual relief enter
prises were launched, while scores OF
well known men and women Of America
volunteered as nurses, etc.
For lack of organization and expert
ence little was accomplished in this way
and these volunteers, or most of them
were compelled to reluctantly abandon
the noble work.
Now they have real opportunity to
give vent to their charitable inclinations
in a thoroughly practical way, way
that will be understood and appreciated.
The sum of sl,5O0,OOO, equal to the
amount which has carried the Red
Cross through long year of war, might
be raised by these same people in twen-
ty-four hours and never missed by them.
The Rockefeller Foundation, if so dis
posed, could alone contribute that sum
and it would be but bagatelle to that
pretentious body.
The work of the American Red Cross
is too well known to need recounting.
1t would be a grievous thing If it
were indeed compelled to cease opera
lions because of lack Of money.
