through Moon, Stowe. Reserve, Allie

townships named there are six or
more distinct thirty-foot pools. One

OIL AND GAS



Interest in the Evans City pool. In
Butler county, has somewhat sub
sided since all of the late compilations
have come in light. Another has been
added to the list of light producers.
It is Hay and Company's well on the
Leonard lot, located few feet south
east of the small producer on the Car
win lot. The well on the small Irwin
lot is so light that the owners are I'M
determined as to whether 1t would De
worth giving 1t shot.
In the face OF the size of the late
wells completed at Evans City some
OF the town lot operators are revising
their estimates as to how much
town lot well Will be worth at the
end of thirty days. The handwriting
on the wall indicates that there Will
be Quite a shrinkage. 1t will require
much longer time to get back the
money invested than 1t took to put
il in a town lot we'll. 1t is more
question OF what part. If any, these
town, lot ventures will pay back.
Several Flows.
insolvency and Company's well on
the pierce lot, one of the most fm-
nortant as to location, is drilling in
the sand and has made several light
flows. The insolvency lot well is To-
Gated the farthest down the creek and
the farthest TO the west OF any well
in the development. The fact that 1t
Y Is showing for better producer than
the weilssto the east is something OF
. surprise. Had the well failed to
md production 1t would have been no
great surprise. Another important
well on the west side is the one drill
ing on the Wick lot. They undertook
to drfll the well through the l0O-foot

have been fishing for some days. It
win likely be necessary to move the

west than the Pierce lot well, and II

that direction
The wildwood OIL Company's well
on the sutton lot is due to get the

defined limits. In the central part OF

Thanks to the vigor and insight Of

measures which will 20 far toward

tableau pictured by Pan-Germanlsm.
There is at last thorough grasp Of

MISUNDERSTANDING on tLls point De-
tween Paris and London is one Of the
most satisfactory stems vet taken tow
ard the solid coordination of the

"A strong section Of military opinion
in France holds emphatically that the
Bulgars can be driven out Of both
Neles and Uskub, and that the Allie,
by q bold action, can take the Bulgars
between two fires and establish firm
contact with the Serbian army in re-
treat. This would place in the west
ern Balkans a mass of hostile forces
and would threaten and might vet
thwart the whole German-Bulgar plan
for the mastery Of a through route 10

ITO win Rumania would settle every

that bold steps are at last being taken

Allies would also insure. Greater Ru-
mania would become Il kingdom Of

"Rumania must be made practically
certain of the military issue. She must
know with what force and in what man
ner the Allies intend TO act in the
Balkans. II Bucharest could be salts

It was just after o'clock in the even
ing. and ordinarily this corner in the
West End Of London is a. brightly
lighted as 1S1st Street and ST. Nlcho-

changes. There were no arc lights or
flaming torches to add the touch that
was needed to make this street meet
ing look exactly like those in New
York.
For half an hour a band had been
playing. It was a good band, and a
crowd Of more than 300 had gathered.
In il were men and women Of every

the crowd was like that in the heart Of

Army Officer Mounts Platform.
The man who mounted the little plat
form was a British army captain tall,
thin, tight-ipped and as spic and span
rs if he had just steprcd out of a
tailoring establishment. Every move
he made was quick and snapry, and his
first words were shot out as IL he were
giving an order 70 advance. In every
sense he was a fine type o. soldier and
a man who would command respect in
every quarter In a sentence he intro
duced woman as the FIRST speaker.
Then he jumped down and she took
his place. 9,
The speaker was in mourning black

gloves. Ages ago-or WAS Il just

has been since the battle Of thu Marine.
She had story 20 tell and she told u
well. Her husband had given his lie
for King and country and sh' glored
in his deed. Applause frequently IN
terrupted her story.
Widow Pleads In Vain.
She was IN deadly earnest Her plea
was not for suffrage, but for recruits.
She pleaded, she begged. she threw
her whole soul into her words. But
when she ended none responded. IL
was pathetic 10 see her climb down
from the platform, apparently dazed,

You thought: What a vote getter
she would be il she could throw the

In many ways he reminded me Of
