The fluffy side frill is in vogue again.
A tabot thus adorned will do much to
redeem a somber looking dress or an
out-of-date waist. There should be a
number of these fluffy frills lying
about at home, as it was so popular
a model not long ago. Those who
Aust make them will need, for one
Iabot, half yard Of pretty insertion
and from three-Quarters to one yard of
edging for the frill, according to the

notes still in his pocket. Suddenly,
out of the limbo into which two years
of laborious discipline and .self-denial

the ruling passion, mighty. overpower-

the voice was at once a command and
an entreaty, a gnawing hunger and a

finally halted him. Here the struggle
was so fierce that the bartender, who
knew him, named it sickness and led
the stricken one to card table in the
public bar-room and fetched him a
drink. A single swallow of whisky
turned the scale. Massingale rose
tossed coin to the bar, and passed
quickly to the rear, where pair oi
baise doors opened silently and en-
quilted him.

,ULF OIL FIELD FLOW IN
TEXAS-LOUISIkNA GROWS
In 1915 eo,577, 1os BarreIs Were Pro-
dueed, Showing Increase over
1914 Output of 100000.

Washington.-OH pools of South
eastern Texas and Southern Louisiana,
constituting the gulf field, produced
Turing 1915 POST ,103 barrels OF forty
TWO gallons. an increase of nearly u
100000 barrels compared with 1914.
The output of the coastal Texas dis
irict was 17,46759S barrels and the
coastal district of Louisiana S,1O9,5O5
barrels. A bulletin from the geologi-
eal survey issued this week says, in
part:
The petroleum yield Of the Texas
division in 1915 records gain of near
Iy IS per cent over 1914, and that OF
The Louisiana division a gain Of "a per
cent.
THE notable increase In output in
the Texas division is due wholly to the
rejuvenatios of the Humble pool, in
Harris county, which resulted from an
active development of the deep sand
discovered in 1914. Gusher wells, par
ticularly on the Stevenson and Land
slide leases, producing from the deep
pay at depths of 1900 to $500 feet,
increased the output of Humble from
an average of $4,000 barrels a day In
August to $1,000 barrels day in No
vember and inspired additional drilling
which resulted in the southwark ex-
tension of the pool for fully half a
mile. The total runs of oil from this
pool in 1915 amounted to 11,061, 1902
barrels, quantity more than four
times as great as the output in 1914,
but 100000 barrels less than the rec
ord output of the pool in 1905.
I'm the remaining pools in the Tex
as division, Sour Lake, Saratoga, Bat
son, Dayton, Goose Creek, Spindle Top
and Markham, operations were largely
of a routine character and, without ex.
cept.on, the production recorded a nor.
NAL decline.
Credit for the increased output of
the Louisiana division in 1915 belongs
the Edgerly pool, in Calcasieu par
ish, which has steadily increased its
yield since its discovery in June. 1918
Vinton, which declined in production
in 1915 and yielded first place to Ed.
gerly, added slightly to its productive
area as the result of successful tests
completed in July south of previous
producing wells. Jennings, Welsh and
Anse la Butte were featureless.
I'm all, S62 wells were drilled in the
coastal pools in 1915-761 in Texas
t.,
division oil wells numbered 41S, gas
wells and dry holes 337; In Louisiana
division, oil wells 70, gas wells and
dry holes 26. The new oil wells in
coastal Texas averaged 500 barrels
each the first day of productive life
and those in coastal Louisiana 619 bar
rels each; the output of all oil wells,
new and old, in the gulf field averaged
Is barrels a day each"

Supporters of this argument
cite the fact that over seventytwo
per cent of the cars sold last year
went to small town, village and

that but comparatively few pur-
chases were made from small-town
dealers or agents.
Automobiles go a long way to-

from the users standpoint, i'll pur
chasing from big-city dealers is q
saving of time or money in case OF
needed repairs, or the replacing of
parts. While this was a condition
earlier in the industry, it is rapidly
being equalized since the automo-
bile is coming into such general
use outside the centers of large
populations.
Then, too, small-town automo-
bile dealers, like other merchant
+endeavor TO carry stocks in proper
ton to the demand in their trade
fields-in other words, to take care
of their customers and possible
customers. Furthermore, it is rea-
sonable to suppose that repairs and
new parts not carried locally can
be procured quite as quickly and
as cheaply through local dealers Or
agents as when ordered direct.
A few weeks ago all agent in one
of our villages learned that woman
in the neighborhood contemplated
purchasing an automobile right
away. An effort to sell her one of
the lines he represented failed for
the reason that she had definitely
decided upon another make not re-
presented locally,
Just before leaving for a nearby
city to make her purchase, this
woman called on the agent and
asked if there was any way by
which he could get a commission
Oh the car in question. She want
ed to trade at home if possible.
He didn't think there was, but
stated that he would appreciate an
opportunity to investigate if she
would wait few days, which she
gladly consented to do.
During the conversation she men
toned the fact that one of her
friends was thinking about buying
car and might possibly be induced
to accept one of the same kind she
was buying. She even offered to
spSak to her in his behalf.
n make long story short, this
agent through the cooperation of
this well-meaning woman, sold
both cars, which entitled him to
commissions and agency represen-
tation.
He advises that he has sold
twelve automobiles in his cormu-
nifty during the past few months.
His commissions. amounting to
quite tidy sum, have been, or
will eventually be. spent with local
institutions which constitute the
backbone of the community.
There is certainly splendid op-
portnpitv. right now for the appli
cation of home trading in automo-
bile buying in our small. town To-
