OIL FOUND ON SO tn
HADLEY TOWN FARM
Wells to Be Dug to Learn Extent of
Deposits Town Excited Over
the Discovery.

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass, April 8
Oil has been discovered on land owned
by the town of South Hadley, but in
what quantity ana quality has vet to
be determined by official tests. Select
man G. IL. Everson and Town Warden
Q. b. Pratt have taken samples of the
oil found to Amherst college, where it
will be analvzed
Meantime the news of the discovery
spread like wildfirc, and though at first
thought to be an April fool joke, the
serious statements made bT the town
officials changed that opinion.
The oil was first seen oozing from a
snow bank on land owned by the town
and used as the town farm. Several
barrels collected and the amount was
set by some as high as 30 barrels
The air about the place was strong
~ scented with the odor Of kerosene.
The oil ceased to flow today, but it is
thought it may start again. Officials
at the college said chat the geological
conditions were right in this section
for oil deposits. The land is near the
foot Of the Mt. Hoiyoke range, 2 huge
mass of trap rock pushed up through
sandstone strata.
1t is understood that wells will b.
dug as soon as possible to see how
large the deposit may be. The town
is greatly excited over the discovery.

THINKS HOLLAND
WILL KEEP PEACE
No Immediate Prospect That the Coun-
try Will Become Involved in Hos
tihties.

THE HAGUE, March 81, via Lon
don April 3.-The secret of the in
creased diplomatic tension in Holland
is being we'll kept. Even people
whose positions justify the assumption
that they have knowledge Of what is
happening confess that they them
selves are puzzled
A competent authority today inform
ed The Associated Press there was no
Immediate prospect of Holland becon4-
ing involved in hostilities with any
power, though it was true that Ger
many lately had somewhat increased
her forces along the frontier and that
precautionary measures on Holland )
side were a natural consequence. It
was pointed out that if war were i'm
pending more would be done than the
temporary stoppage of furlonghs,
which, moreover, had been done before.
The Naderland claims to know from
q reliable source that the special meas
ures being taken by the government
are only consequences of the general
war situation and not due to any par
ticular incident The measures, the
Vaderland declares, are not connected
with any demand made by Great Brit
ain or France at the recent conference
of the entente allies in Paris. Further
more, it is pointed out, only periodical
furloughs have been withdrawn, and
no officers or soldiers on furloughs
have been recalled.

KINDS OF KEROSENE.
Standard Oil Co. Advertises its Su-
perior Trade Marked Product.

No error is more widespread, prcb-
ably, than the belief that all kerosene
is alike in illuminating power and III
heat units, when the fact is that there
is as much difference in grades of 1ero-
sene as there is in grades of milk.
This has been demonstrated by the
results of employing kerosene of in
ferior grade-when used for lighting,
by a dull, smoky flame; when used
for heating or cooking, by inadequate
temperature.
Socony Kerosene. the special product
of the Standard Oil Company Of New
York, gives clear, brilliant flame in
the lamp and high temperature with
ont smoke or smell in the cook stove
or heater. The name has been trade
marked to distinguish it from the or
binary kerosene and to insure the con-
sinner against the inferior article The
buyer knows what he IS buying when
this sort of protection is afforded, and
the Standard Oil Company Of New
York is arresting public attention by
an advertising campaign that sharply
identifies its own product and indiyid-
ualizes it. Ordinary kerosene saves
coal. Socony kerosene means a still
larger saving.
