7 is the formation of a local company
for the manufacture of brick and tile.
? During the present year, the men
back OF the proposition have sent
: samples of various clays found in
the vicinity of Baker, to eastern
manufactures to be made up into fin
lshed products, and these are now be-
ing displayed at their office. The
company will start the erection of a
large plant as soon as spring opens
up, and, of course, will use natural
gas for heat and power.

Worlds Greatest Gas Field.
Seventy miles south of Billings.
but on the Wyoming side, is probably
one fthe greatest deposits of natur-
al gas IN the world. Eight wells
have been drilled that produce an
proximately 250,00O,0OO cubic feet of
gas every "a hours. The giant we'll
OF the group will produce in excess
OF lO0,00O,O0O cubic feet per day.
The pressure of the gas of this we'll
was so great that it blew the der
rick to pieces, blw two ordinary steel
gate valves off the casing at the
"ells mouth, and 1t was necessary
to have an especially heavy gate
valve manufactured, and anchor the
the top of the casing with about Is
tons of cement before the flow could
be checked and finally stopped. The

heard for 20 miles, and it is estim-
ated that 1,00O,00O,O 900 cubic feet of
gas blew off every ten days for three
months before the we'll could he fin
ally capped.
Billings Will Have Gas.
It is entirely feasible and practical
to pipe this gas into Billings, the
largest center near it, Engineers
have passed upon the undertaking
favorably, but it is thought that with
the large amount of drilling for oil
between Billings and this field, ma
tural gas will be discovered closer to
the Yellowstone metropolis, but one
of the certainties of the future is
that Billings will one day be heated
with natural gas in great volume.
Hon. Thos. Arthur of Billings. and
Lieutenant Governor Mcdowell of
Butte, were prominent in this en-
deavor. They brought three New
York engineers who were natural gas
specialists, and their report on the
Byron gas fields, as this deposit is
called, was very favorable. Probably
SIS 10000 is being expended in oil
between the gas fields
and Billings, however, ad it was
thought best to await the outcome of
this drilling.
Gas Possibilities.
Running across Montana, striking
northwest and southeast, is a great
system of anticlines, the same that
passes through Wyoming, and in
which much oil and gas has been
found. In these anticlines are locat-

United States Honor
(Portland. ore. Telegraml

portland, Ore, Telegram)
The Republican party has selected
a standardbearer whose utterances
from day to day Justify the people
who chose him. Not only does he
bring before the country the short
comings of the administration that
owes it's existence to a divided Repub-
licanism, but his criticism is every
where constructive.
He tells what must be done and
will be done by the party he repre-
sents to prevent wastefulness and eX-
travagance in the governmental ex-
penditures and to put a stop to the
vacillating policy that has caused
other nations to believe that the
United States has no intention of
backing up it's demands made in the
interests of justice and humanity ,
Most vulnerable of all points in the
Democratic armor is it's foreign policy.
Primarily this is because of the spoils
system by which men trained in the
consular and diplomatic service
through long years, have been dis
placed to make room for politicians
and friends Of politicians, whose sole
claim to preferment was their serv-
ices to the Democratic party.
IF 1 am elected President of the
United States," said Mr.. Hughes last
night, II propose that every man
put in charge of an important depart
ment shall be a man eminently fit to
discharge the duties of that depart
ment."
The denuding of the diplomatic
service of men, of experience in order
to supply political jobs, as has been
done by Mr.. Wilson, or with his con-
sent, Mr.. Hughes denounces as "a
capital DEMONSTRATING in the good
name of the United States and dam
aging its honor" Nobody" he adds.
has a right to pay political debts
with the good name and honor of the
United States"
Which is clear proof that Mr..
Hughes has not been unmindful of
the high principles of government
which must be maintained in order
that this republic shall maintain its
place as shining example to all ma
tions.

airy marched unmounted and there
was not motor transport in the
Pennsylvania line. Think of it-all
this chatter about preparedness, all
this gush about the great emergency
the troops were to meet at the border
and the cavalry-by far the most USE
full branch of the service in putting
down bandit raids-without a single
horse fit to ride after some two months
in camp.
And not a motor transport, when
Europe reports that the only posi-
bility of maintaining the great armies
pitted against each other there has
been through the rapid and depend
able gasoline driven vehicle.
The only consolation for Pennsyl-
vanians in this condition lies in the
fact that the Keystone soldiers and
officers at the border are in nowise to
blame.

Puck Rewrites History

Puck. the famous humorous weekly,
is going to revise the history OF the
country according to the modern
theory of telling the naked truth about
historical events.
The first of its Historical Numbers
appears on the newsstands this week,
and if we may accept the initial ar
ticle as an indication of what is to
come our satirical contemporary aims
to upset some cherished traditions of
the little red schoolhouse.
Tradition has clouded history since
the beginning of time, explains Puck S
historian. There is abundant testi-
burned by proxy only, and as mat
ter of fact lived long enough to settle
down and marry the man of her
choice.
Beatrice, the flame of Dante's pas.
sion, was a giddy young debutante of
nine summers at the time of her
death; and facts indicate that If Sir
Walter Raleigh ever laid cloak over
a mud puddle to protect Elizabeth s
feet, it was the garment of an unfor-
tunate retainer and not his own richly
brocaded Inverness.
Tradition has painted the Bastile as
a prison of horrors, crowded with un-
happy victims of the royal displeas-
ure. Facts indicate that it never con-
tanned more than sixteen or seventeen
prisoners at any one time and that
these reveled in any luxury they
craved
Puck has uncovered many tradi-
tions of our own history as widely at
variance with the facts as the Incl
dents quoted.
In the first place. says Puck, Queen
Isabella never pawned her jewels to
start Columbus on his voyage of dis
covery, for the very simple reason
that Isabella's jewels had been put to
the slaughter many months before
Columbus appeared at the Spanish
court and asked for help.
Nor did the doughty adventurers
on the Mayflower first set foot on
Plymouth Rock, unless they used a
hydroaeroplane. for the waters around
Plymouth Rock would hardly float a
cream skinner.
Peter Stuyvesant. we learn, enjoyed
the full use of two perfectly good
legs, and the wooden stump handed
down to posterity seems to have been
figment of the imagination

THE CHANGERS, PICNIC
TINE persistent attraction of Il

TIME persistent attraction of the
Grangers' picnic. that annua!
exhibition and exposition at
williams Grove, has for Central Penn
sylvania people is one of the marvels
of those who have seen scores of
similar affairs come and go while
crowds continue to flock year after
year to see the same old sights and
meet the same old crowd at the Cum
berland county gathering. The farm
er who does not take a day or two
from work to ''go to the Grangers" is
an exception in his community.
Reason for the success of this pop
ularity probably lies in the fact that
the management wisely chose a week
after harvest work is out of the way
and before the county fair has entered
into competition. Farmers and city
people, too, are fond of fairs and ex-
positions and the crowds they bring.
If the Changers picnic is the drawing
card it is. how much more so would
be a great properly conducted State
fair in Harrisburg or vicinity.

TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 90
The youth of the soul is everlasting,
and eternity is youth.-RIcHTER.
THE PROPOSED CAME CODE

nROPOSAL to codify the game laws
of the State, uniting all the game
regulations under one general
title, is in line with the simplification
of statutes of all kinds and the group
ing of borough, school and other laws
in such manner as to make them cas-
lily accessible and in accord with the
needs and conditions of the present.
There should be no difficulty in get
ting such a measure through the next
session of the Legislature. The prob
lem will lie in putting a bill together
that will meet the views of the sports
men of the State to degree where
one or more dissatisfied factions will
not seriously oppose it on the floors
of the legislative bodies.
Evidently the Game Commission
had something of this sort in mind
when it suggested the calling together
vance of the legislative session for
the purpose of endeavoring to thresh
out existing differences and to get to-
gether, if possible, on a common
ground. At all events this is a wise
move. The sportsmen now know
what the Commission has proposed
and they have ample time in which
to decide for themselves what changes
in this program, if any. they desire.
Unqestionably, the change in the
rabbit season will be popular. Rsb-
bits are becoming so plentiful in some
parts of the State as to be nuisance
to farmers and a menace to young
orchards. They multiply more rapidly
than any other kind of game and they
no doubt will be we'll able to survive
without serious diminution of num-
bers the proposed two months open
season.
The other change of season sug-
gested, that limiting the shooting sea-
son for turkeys, grouse and quail to
November alone, will be the subject of
10 little debate. There will develop
legitimate grounds for differences of
opinion on this subject. The outcome
will be watched with interest by every
lover of gamebird hunting in Penn
sylvania. Unquestionably something
must be done for the better protection
of the young birds in the early Fall
and for increasing the supply in coun-
ties where the birds are becoming
scarcer and scarcer each year.
Whether this is the remedy or not
must be developed by men who have
given the matter thought and who are
familiar with conditions.
DR.. Kalbfus, in his letter accompany
Ing the draft of the proposed code,
makes a plea for the creation of more
game sanctuaries. Unquestionably, the
number of these places where game
may find refuge at all seasons of the
year and in the shelter of which young
birds and animals may come to ma
turity and spread over the surround
ing country should be increased. They
are doing more than almost any one
other thing to keep up the game sup
ply in Pennsylvania.

THE DROP IN WHEAT

TINE drop in wheat prices yesterday
following the announcement that
Rumania had entered the Euro
pean war was to have been expected.
Two prime factors have been at work
to run prices up in the American mar
kets-the shortage of the crop at
home, as compared with that of last
year, and the inability of Russia to get
her immense quantities of grain to the
world markets.
Rumania is itself great wheat
raising country. Large quantities of
it's yield have been going into Austria
and thence into Germany. Now all
of this grain will have to find a market
elsewhere and it will go naturally to
France and England, with a COM
paratively small quantity to feed the
Russian soldiers who no doubt will
shortly pour through Rumania into
Austria.
This unlocked for supply of Euro
pean grain can be delivered at lower
cost to England and France than can
the wheat of the American plains, and
thus the American home supply will
be conserved. Then, too, in the eyes
of the wheat spectators, Russia will
be able to market quantities of its
wheat through Rumania, and the en-
trance of Rumania into the war nat
urally brings nearer by many months
the opening of the Dardanelles, with
the flood of grain that will then flow
through that port to the outside world.
This may not be good news to the
farmer and the wheat speculator, but
it will not be badly received by the
who has been facing the
possibility of six-cent bread or smaller
loaVes for five cents.

GOOD WORK

lCUFFRAGIsTs of Pennsylvapia are
- to be commended for the
promptness with which they
have volunteered to assist the State
Health Department in its fight against
the spread of infantile paralysis and
to have better health ordinances pass
ed in every quarter of the Common
wealth. Very apparently these women
are interested in more than merely
getting the vote.
The task of the State Health De-
partment in the present instance is
| largely one of popular education.
People must be brought to a knowl-
edge of how best to protect their chill
dren from the mysterious scourge
concerning which science itself can in
struct them only to the extent of
teaching them the necessary precau-
tionary measures to be taken. In this
work the suffragists have been of vast
assistance, making hundreds of per-
sonal visits, distributing thousands of
circulars, arranging with moving pic
ture proprietors to show films bear
ing on the subject and calling confer
ences in various counties where the
need is great.
