Articles of Incorporation Of the
Sterling Oil company were filed with
the Secretary of State last Saturday.
The company is capitalized at $4,000.
$50, 900 Of which is paid in. The d.
rectors are W. ]. Hedrick. CT. Smith.
G. c. Brown, DR.. NJ. l.. Babcock and
w. E. Whittier. Prospect wells will
be drilled rs soon as the company can
make arrangements for an operator,
and these are now under way.
The existence of oil in commercial
quantities in this vicinity has long
been anticipated, and at various times
prospecting on small scale has been
done. In one instance at least small
amount Of oil was discovered by we'll
diggers in the valley, but the amount
was too small to justify development.
But it is claimed now that the presence
of oil in large bodies has been verified
and so the company has been formed
to develop the field. In any event, the
organization has sufficient faith in the
venture to put considerable sum into
it.
That flow Of oil is to be had is
vouched for by gentleman named
Patterson, an old oil prospector, and a
man who is said to have originated and
created an instrument which detects

the presence of oil bearing ground,
and SO great is the attraction between
the detector and the oil carrying strata,
it is said, that the underfow can be
readily determined. Mr.. Patterson has
spent some time in this vicinity, and
he succeeded in interesting the gentle
men named in the project, along with
number of others. Mr.. Patterson
receives reimbursement only from
whatever oil is produced. his share
being 20 per cent.
He with the directors named and
others have been investigating various
sections in this vicinity for week
past, and finally decided to make their
prospect wells in the neighborhood of
Stoneham, where Mr.. Patterson claims
oil In large quantities is to be found,
according to the indications of his de-
tective instrument. Members of the
corporation have been busy the past
week securing leases on the lands
covered by the supposed oil district,
and they now have some twenty -thous-
and acres under contract. The corpor-
alton we understand intends to con-
tract for as much land as can be
secured before actual drilling opera
tions are begun One Of the members
is now in Wyoming to make contract
for drilling the wells.

BITS ABOUT BABIES
INTERESTING FACTS ELucipAT.
Ed BY WOMAN MEDIco.
Infants emile, She Says, Is a Much
Misunderstood Thing - Jealousy
and Sympathy Manifest Them
selves In the Second Year.

In the course Of lecture a dist!n-
gulshed woman physician said that the
inability of buby to hold up its head
was not due to the weakness Of the
neck, but to the lack of development
Of Its will power, an exchange remarks
The act Of standing was instructive
and Initiative, while facial expression
and gesture were due almost wholly to
imitation.
A haby's smile, she said, was the
most misunderstood thing In Infancy.
A real smile must have an Idea behind
1t, but the expression resembling
smile which Is SO often seen on very
young baby's face was without nn idea
and was due to the easy condition Of
the stomach or to some other physical
satisfaction.
The smile with an idea does not ap
pear earlier than the fourth week. So,
too, with the crying Of baby. The
contortion of the features is due to
physical causes. The baby sheds nc
tears, because the laehrylnal glands
are not developed for several weeks
after birth.
The chief pleasure Of all children is
to change from one condition to an.
other by their own effort. This Is the
beginning Of the development of the
will power. and Is often attested In
what has been called the imperative
intention Of tears" This is not dis
closed until after the second or third
month.
A baby tests everything by its mouth.
Its sense Of taste being the surest and
most reliable guide II has.
The attention Of all young children
ia difficult to attract. and they must at
tain considerable age before they begin
to notice. Then colora md sounds ure
most potential. Fear has been known
10 be manifested by baby only three
weeks old, and In nll cases the sensa.
tion is produced by sound more than
by sight.
Children Of luxurious and carefully
guarded homes are 0lmost wholly with.
out fear, but the children Of poor and
exposed parents always manifest 1t.
Jealousy ami sympathy begin to
manifest themselves In the second year.
Curiosity also begins to develop here,
and proves to be a self-feeder through.
out childhood. A little later the ego
begins to appear and the baby has the
first consciousness Of itself.
The ego first appears rs muscular
sense and the infant gradually learns
to distinguish itself from surrounding
objects. It Is first the hand that is dis
tinsuished. and then the foot, and Anal
ly the whole body.
Memory does not appear before the
child is two years Of age. All the rea-
soning of children Is primitive and ele-
mentary and develops slowly. Darwin
noted an association Of ideas In the
mind Of his child when 1t was only five
months Of age.
The lecturer related experiences Of
babies with the first view of mirrors
and showed that their actions under
the new conditions We're similar to
those Of anthropoid apes and dogs un.
der like conditions.

AMORTIZATION EXPLAINED.

Some people are bothersd with the
word amortization, "the new plan Of
paying off farm mortgage loans. In
practice it is system whereby you
pay small portion of the principal at
every interest payment, and 80 retire
your loan gradually. 1t will apply to
the loans made under the new rural
credits law. Bowie, Of North Dakota,
sends us the following simple illustra-
tion with the amortization plan: Farm
er A borrows $1,000 for ten years at
6 per cent simple interest. He pays
$50 year interest, for ten years. total
of 5000. He now owes the principal in
a lump sum of $1,000. He has actually
paid out l,600. Farmer B, acting un-
der the new amortization plan also bor-
rows 81 900 for ten years at per cent.
But he must pay on the installment
plan. He pays sl35.S7 at the end Of
the first year; and like amount at the
end OF each year. At the tenth year,
he owes exactly sl35.S7. His tenth and
last payment cancels the debt. He
has actually paid out $1,000. From

AN ADMIRABLE DOCUMENT.

President Wilson'S message to the
powers relative to peace and the steps
which the United States would desire
to see taken; his statement of what
the waring powers attitude is claimed
to be. is an admirable document and is
also terrible Indictment of those re-
sponsible for the war.
In the recent campaign republican
papers and speakers alike were accused
of being insincere because their criti-
cism of the president and his party had
been less severe while the administra.
ton was doing the acts than the criti-
cism being made Of the acts during the
campaign. As a matter Of fact, while
the president was endeavoring to ad-
just differences, it was the part of
patriotism to withhold criticism, be-
cause of its effect on the foreign
powers. Criticism at that time would
do no good and might do much harm.
If peace is made on the terms which
Germany may fairly be presumed to be
satisfied with from her statement,
what excuse will the future historian
find for her engaging in the war!
What principle has established? What
for Germany or humanity has she
achieved? She may point with mingled
pride and shame to the achievements
Of her army. She has established be-
yond question the military standing Of
German armies and the bravery of
German people, and shown the German
people to be as wonderful as any peo-
pie on earth not only as soldiers, but
as commercial people as well.
