EXTEND CUSHING FIELD
BY DEEPER DRILLING

Oklahoma City, May 22.-While
the periphery of the Cushing oil field
seems to be tolerably well established,
and the head is about off the Bartles-
vile sand in that field, it now ap
pears that the field is likely to eX
pand somewhat by deeper drilling.
One we'll that is 15O feet below the
Bartlesville sand is producing 5000
barrels day, 1t is owned by c. B.
Shaffer, the man who put the first
well in the Cushing field. 1t is on
the northeast corner of the south
west quarter of section 17-1S-7, off
setting wells in the Bartlesyille sand
on the FiXico and Mid Co leases.
While the wise drillers are not con-
fident OF the possibilities of the
deeper sand the Shaffer well is
thought likely to produce a condi-
tion that will lead TO deeper drilling
in all the territory east of the river.
Large Oil Deal Made.
Through the purchase by the RoX-
ana Petroleum company of the De
vonian Oil company's property in the
Gushing field. which was announced
this week. is developed one of the
biggest oil deals ever made in Ok
lahoma. The properties sold are the
two Yahola farms in sections 5 and
9-17-L They consist of 12O acres
with about $500 barrels production,
ten big tanks and about 100000 bar
rels in storage. The price paid was
about $20OOOOO. Cushing oil people
believe that this deal means new
pipe line before long to the gulf
The ROXana is slowly acquiring a
very large amount of production and
about all of it is going into TANKS.
Figures on Healdton Production.
4 large abstract report on the
Healdton field shows some very in
teresting figures. In the entire field
there are III wells already drilled.
These wells have a producing ca
pacity OF 76.S69 barrels There is
a proven acreage in the field of 5,165
acres. There are also 9lS undrilled
locations. This shows that less than
one-fourth of the total locations in
the field have yet been drilled.
II every location in the field was
drilled in. and the producing acreage
held up TO the present standard the
daily production of the field would
be approximately 2S5.362, or an aver
age daily production OF 23S barrels
to each well. These figures are based
on the proven acreage.

COMPOSITION OF WOMEN'S
PEACE CONFERENCE

The Hague. Netherlands, May 22.-
Correspondence of the Associated
Press) The recent women's peace
conference at The Hague was by
no means devoid of the picturesque,
albeit nothing startling occurred dur
ING its deliberations. In costume,
appearance. manner and behavior,
there was as wide a variation in type
as any international congress has
ever displayed. True, there were
neither Chinese nor Japanese women
--an oversight certainly, but there
was always Madame Thoumaian, the
unveiled wife of a member OF the
Ottoman parliament, in a striking
robe Of silk, in alternate stripes OF
crimson and white at least four
inches wide.

congress was unquestionaby Frau

there was not the slightest touch of

with that simple and practical direct

opening her own. Here was the only
touch of generous humor in the
self-conscious and frightened serious
ness of the entire congress. Dressed
in the mourning OF genteel poverty,
her dark features were stlthingly il
lumined by her eager sincerity.
When Signora Genomi announced in
her first speech that no other Italian
delegate had dared cross Germany to
come to the congress, for fear Italy's
entry into the war might prevent
return there was neither boastful-
ness of her own courage nor Criti-
Cism of her COmpatriots in the state
ment. To her the prospect of the
entry of her country into the horrible
arena of European war was so i'm
minent and so hideous that she must
protest against it, at whatever risk
to herself.

Des Moines, July 24.-The friends OF
Senator Albert B. Cummins, the Iowa
candidate for presidential honors, are
quietly rejoicing over the turn OF at
fairs in connection with the interstate
commerce act amendment on valuation
of shipments and rates based thereon.
There is no dorbt that the situation
has been greatly to the benefit OF the
senator. 1t is clear there was frame
up to bring discredit upon him BY plac-
ing unnecessary restrictions on bag
gage shipments and advertising 1t as
due to the Cummins amendment This
scheme attracted wide attention. The
clearing up Of the matter and f1xinS
the blame elsewhere has served well
to keep the name of the Iowa senator
before the people Of the nation. 1t will
be recalled that the original Cummins
amendment, which was put thru the
senate and smothered in the house by
order, was in substantially the word
ing of the law of Iowa which had
been rendered imperative by legisla-
tive and judicial tinkering and inter-
probation. That law was enacted on
the demand of the livestock shippers.
When the senator had forced the mat
ter to a position in congress so that it
could not longer be ignored. the OPP
