ties are more progressive than places
that have been settled for longer per-
iod. A man who is wen acquainted with
electrical machinery, said today: at
will not be eighteen months until the
entire Healdton fields will be lighted
with electricity. Many Of the compan-
les now have their private light plants,
some OF them manufacture their own
ice, they have put in a system Of water
works and provided baths for their
workmen. An electrical plant can now
be purchased for $40 and can be oper-
ated very cheaply with motor spirits"
The private electric light plants in
the towns and in the fields, added TO
the large gas torches that burn every
hour of the night make the fields light,
and they are cheerful looking on the
darkest nights.
This new civilization is attracting
many progressive merchants and trad
ers and farmers and workers, and with
the continuous broadening Of the field
and the drilling of new and deeper
sands 1t looks like there will be unusual
prosperity in the oil field district for
many years TO come.

FIND RARE STAMPS.
Waste Paper Sorters Are on the Alert
for Old Envelopes.

New York World: All the pickers
and packers In the waste paper indus
try are on the alert for old envelopes
bearing the first cancelled stamps of
the. new Russian democracy.
Big stamp collectors and dealers have
laid their plans to get lines OF the new
goods by the first incoming Pacific liner
that carries the much sought Russian
mail. II is expected that the cars face
will be blotted out on the stamps.
The stamp industry is most bewilder.
ing just now. Without a geography of
the world and the daily official cable
dispatches, stamp man would be lost
Down in Nassau street, where the
stamp sharps gather to talk over busi
ness and exhibit their latest finds, they
say there was never time in the
worlds history when a schoolboy could
find such educational interest in col
lecting. Interest in stamps now falls
under three important heads The char
ity stamp is one.
Belgium, running its postoffice de
partment from France; France itself,
and Turkey, have made their stamps
carry added value for charity and Red
Cross work. One of the regular
sources Of war revenue to which the
masses of the people willingly contrib.
ute is the charity stamp.
The war tax starap is another. 1t is
being used in many places. Then there
is the stamp Of occupied territory Ger.
many is running the postoffice business
In much of Belgium, and Belgium, on
the other hand, is surcharging the Ger.
man stamps in the occupied territory OF
German East Africa. Austria is taking
the toll for stamps in much Of Serbia
and Germany is doing the same in parts
of Poland. Great Britain is the post
master in the great African territory
captured from Germany.
The price of stamps in Russia hat
| been jumped before the czar was ousted
A seven kopek stamp costs ten kopeks
and fourteen kopek stamp twenty.
About 100 waste paper sorters are

CENTER or HOSPITALITY.
Fireplace Is Where Family Gathers;
Should BE in Living Room.

Farm and Fireside: The center Of
hospitality in the home is that point
about which the family itself gathers
most often. This point is in most
homes the fireplace. Hence it's location
and construction are of vast importance
in building a home.
The fireplace, If there is only one
should be in the living room, for there
the family and friends can enjoy it
most. 1t should be located in the CEN
ter of a wall space, either on one side
or at one end Of the room. Select the
space which will permit the greatest
number Of people to sit around II.
In the construction Of the fireplace
you must not forget that it's chief pur-
pose is for fire. The more simple the
lines Of construction, the better taste
is displayed, and the more room the
open fire receives.
There is a great variety of materials
suitable for fireplace, and your indi-
viduality and taste can be well express
ed in this important factor Of the home.
Brick. tile, wood and many tile substi.
tutes may be used. These offer great
possibilities both for good color and
design, and lend themselves to any style
Of architecture.

must accept such commissions If Of.

MAKE GENERALS BREAK ROCK
Haitian Officers More Valuable as
white Wings" Than AS Soldiers.

Nmte wings Inan as Soldiers.
National Geographic Magazine: When
the late President Laconte Of Haiti set
about TO reduce the size of his army
a few years ago many of the geenrals
whom he mustered out OF the service
were put to breaking rock on the
street. At one time there were more
officers than men in the Haitian army,
according to apparently authentic state
ments.
The army officers OF Haiti were as
fond OF gold lace as a mountain girl OF
bright colors. Small wonder. then, that
the regalia of a field marshal was ev.
erywhere in evidence. Times have
changed. however. and now the Ameri.
can marine in quiet khaki takes the
place OF the Haitian fire-eater and his
resplendent costumes.
\ In former times the pay of a Haitian
Nsoldier was small at best, nothing at
worst, and at all times insufficient to
keep the warrior fed decently. The days
for loading coffee on departing ships
were great DAYS in Haiti. They we're
busy days when the army got n square
meal, thanks TO the stevedore wages
which the men were able 10 earn.
Feeding the Haitian armies in the
days before the American big brother
movement was not difficult job Gar.
rison rations consisted OF a sugarcane
stalk two or three feet long and what.
ever else the soldier could beg, borrow
or steal.

You do this, too, and the secret service
man, probably Jack Slye or Dick Jervis,
