Pretty and jaunty exactly ex-
presses the appearance of the new
Spring Suits. The very atmos-
phere of Spring seems to pervade
them, they are so sparkling with
life and brightness. The majority
Of the coats are short and have
many smart style touches, such as
pleated backs, high standing col
lars and nobby belts. Also a num-
ber of Norfolks are shown. The
skirts are full flare skirts; some
have pleats and others have wide
band of self material around the
hem Of the skirt. Yokes are also
much in evidence.
We are proud, very proud Of our

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
OIL AND GAS
Ld1oaaeeetouSeeeteQaQQcas1e::l....sesa aeaa,a.sS!


Conditions in the oil industry are
imropving and with further ad-
vance In the market the improve
ment will be reflected in the resump-
tlon OF development work in the var
tcus fields. Inquiries for new pro-
ducing tedditory are heard frequent
~ and reported new strike in any
locality is subjected to the closest
scrutiny as to the general surround
ings.
The signs most apparent Of the
revival Of interest at this time are
the efforts producers are putting
forth to gett the old wells in shape to
make them produce to the limit Of
their capacity. This activity is noti-
ceable in the local fields and extends
down through West Virginia and
Southeastern Ohio. The amount Of
new production to be derived from
this source will be small, but Of bane-
mt to those who have for the past
year been doing little or nothing but
drifting along. Producers all over
the country seem to share in the be-
lief that the market will go higher
In the near future. The purchasing
agencies say producers are holding
their oil and refiners are hard press
ed for stock on account Of not being
able to have their orders filed.
In the Dorseyville district, IN
Indiana township, Allegheny county.
Pennsylvania, the America Natural
Gas Company has now drilled its test
on the j. Haas farm through the go
foot sand and the well is producing
at the rate Of about eight barrels an
hour. hTey found 4S fet of sand in
the well and when they quit drilling
were in a black slate formation, In
dtcatfng that: they would get moth
ing more. At any event. 1t is very
good producer as compared with the
average size of the wells In the local
fields Valley & Co.'s second test
on the George Mason farm, located
$50 feet east and little south Of
the Haas farm well, Is expected to
get the sand today. Should the
sand at this well be as hard as in
the Haas farm and Robinson farm
wells, they will probably not get the
pay before Friday morning.
