w. VA. LOST MUCH
CASINGAEAD GAS
Inability to Solve Problem
Was Trouble, Experts
Declare Now.

CHARLESTON. W. Va, Nov. IL
1t will never be known how much
| West Virginia has lost in former years
by reason of lack of knowledge con-
corning the value OF casinghead gas
/ The loss is still considerable. but
nothing like that of a few years ago.
For the last 13 years something has
been known of the means of making
gasoline. until now there is but little
waste of the utility necessary in its
composition.
| A comparatively new process has
been developed. that of absorption in
a heavier oil, which makes IL feasible
TO treat great quantities of gas rap
idly so that all the gas in II main gas
line may be handled. Advantage is
being taken of that process in some
of the West Virginia fields and the
pront Is commensurate with the
| completeness of the plants estab-
| lished.
Is Important Factor.
The extraction of gasoline from
caSinghead gas by the compression
and condensation method Is rapidly
becoming more important factor
In West Virginia's industrial life. A
considerable quqantity of naphtha
with which gasoline is blended is also
being marketed In large quantities by
some of the independents who have
refineries. The growth of facilities
with which to obtain gasoline has,
not gone with the same pace as the
demand, and consequently the actual
possibilities of the industry are not
yet known
Casinghead gas is the gas that
flows from oil wells, coming out be-
| tween the casing and the tubing.
OFTEN the volume is very small,
amounting to between 1000 and 1000
cubic feet in "a hours in the West
Virginia fields. The older wells show
the richer gas, and if the well Is shut
in at the casing head or top of the
well, 1t may accumulate a pressure
of from 20 to 60 pounds.
Becomes Heavier.
The gas from a well increases its
load of condensable vapors as the
pressure declines with time. The
gasoline extracted becomes regularly
heavier as the well ages. Casing
head gas which is too lean" at high
pressure may become suitable later.
Gas wells without oil, which are gen
orally too lean at first may become
suitable when pressure is greatly re-
duced.
Some of the plants find 1t profit
able to extract gasoline from as little
as from 5000 to 10000 cubic feet of
gas day. but some of the larger
plants have millions of cubic feet a
day of gas To draw from, and these
are the plants which have made West
Virginia among the three most i'm
portant gasoline producing states in
the union.
The status of gasoline condensed
from casinghead gas is at yet unde-
| termined in West Virginia with ref
erence to whether 1t should pay roy
atty as crude oil. In decision of the
supreme court of appeals 1t is said:
when no provision is made in an oil
and gas lease for royalty on gas pro-
duced incidentally with the oil, there
shall be no royalty or rental on the
well as a gas well"

The writer recently saw a "comic"
in some paper. in which man was
shown carefully dusting his new car
and worrying because there was a
speck OF dirt on it. Then there was
blank left to indicate the. flight OF
time, and then the final picture. Here
the same man was shown in n car
covered with dirt and mud, while a
Bystander says: Mister, your car

OUR BABIES.

A new banner waves in our city

A banner just newly unfurled,
But the message it brings
On it's blue and white wings,
Is as old as the dawn of the world
Joyful the tidings this banner pro-
claims:
"Strive for Better Babies" is it's song.
To their presence give heed;
Take account of their need,
Make right for them all that is
wrong.
From the dawn OF the world to the
dawn of today
Mans hope in baby has lain.
For the smile on his face
Is the goal OF the race
Through darkness and infinite pain.

And pledge thee our faith to the end !;
Wherever they need
With thought and with deed,
Thy uttermost kingdom defend.

THE PROLIFIC FLY.

There are "hold-over flies" or
winter flies" which have been hi
bernating during the cold weather,
and which wake up the first warm
signs of spring.
Don't trust the cold to kill them
warns the North Carolina Bulletin
Don't assume that they are dead
when you find them lying on floors
or window sills in unused rooms.
They are playing possum, and will
recuperate when the temperature
rises. Clean up the house and give
special attention to every out of the
way place where flies may lurk
make sure there is nothing left
which may harbor their eggs"
If you don't adopt this strategy
and start now, here is what you may
be up against according to the COM
putation of experts:
A female fly surviving the winter
may be expected to begin laying eggs
in April. Her progeny will begin
roy bh6 ny we may TeChOH
on five crops by the first Of October.
The first crop alone is big enough,
but succeeding generations quickly
run far beyond the grasp of the hu-
man Imagination. If all the eggs
hatched and developed into mature
flies, the offspring Of that one fly
would amount, by October 1. to the
appalling number OF 131.220,0OO,-
900, 900, 900, 900.
That number of flies, it is said, if
caught and pressed compatcly to-
gether, would occupy a space Of $780,
600 cubic feet. That is to say, they
would probably fill solidly, from eel
lar to attic. about ten ordinary hous-
es.
or course, the eggs don't all hatch,
and the little larvae and pupae don't
all grow up, and the adult don't all
carry out this theoretical laying pro-
gram. If they did, all other forms OF
life in the world would soon be bur-
led under an overwhelming avalanche
of flies, and all the foodstuffs in
the world would be devoured by
them. But the facts are impressive
enough without this mathematical
nightmare.
The moral is plain. Swat the first
flies, and you'll have only tens to
kill instead OF tens of thousands.

clared 81 hate fly. .durn w.

\ MARTYR To DUTY.

IL is martyr to duty that Mr..
Robert a. Cooper comes before the
public as candidate for Governor.
Long has he resisted the pleadings of
his friends that he sacrifices himself
to save the State. In his announce
ment it is stated that they have been
appealing to him from all sections fo-
the last six months. This statement.
we are sure, is over-modest. Eighteen
months would probably be more
nearly correct. This, however, is of
no very great moment The main
point is that Mr.. Cooper has yielded,
in sense OF duty to the importuni-
ties OF his friends.
Who these friends are the public
has yet to learn. Their names and
views and affiliations will be worth
studying. So also as to Mr. Cooper's
platform. There are many who az
vet are nuzzled TO know lust how Mr..
Cooper is going 10 savc tho state AMI
just what 4 is he is goin% to save It
from.
Mr.. Blease's case is different. We
all know what Mr.. Blease stand for,
why he wants Governor Manning de-
feated, what policies he would substi-
tute for those which the present ad-
ministration has enforced. Mr.. Blease
and part at least OF his former fol-
lowing have just and abundant cause
for dissatisfaction and disgust with
the way things are now being run i'm
South Carolina; but who are these
friends OF Mr.. Cooper who share this
feeling so strongly tha they are de-
termined to sacrifice him upon the
altar OF duty?
For OF course Mr. Cooper's claim
that he is to be candidate upon his
own merits alone, however honestly
put forth, will not be able to stand
the strain TO which II must presently
be subjected. He can win. If at all.
only by beating down Manning or by
conniving at the arraignment of Man
ming by others. Unless Mr.. Cooper
and his friends are prepared to de-
nounce the Manning administration
and It's achievements how can they
insist that il is Mr.. Cooper's duty TO
oppose Governor Manning In his race
for reelection. What Is their case
against Mr.. Manning? Wherein do
they claim that he has fallen short OF
what the people had right 10 ex-
pect of him?
Let US hear the indictment. Gov
ernor Manning's record is his only
claim to reelection. 1t Is a legiti-
mate object OF attack. Mr.. Blease
and Mr.. Cooper are within their
rights. There is no doubt but that
Mr.. Blease will say plainly what
fault he has to find with the Man
ming administration. He has a pos
tive alternative to offer for those
who like the kind OF government
of which he is the exponent What
