There have been so many favor
able comments passed on the ques-
tion of dividing the town park into
lots and putting them on the mark
ct, that it is more than likely that
the matter will be taken up for
consideration by the Village Board.
The arguments all seem to be over
whelmingly in favor of putting the
park to practical use, in view of
the fact that good building sites
are practically impossible to obtain
The park will make five forty-foot

OIL SITUATION CHEERFUL.

The friendly attitude Of the govern
ment toward the oil industry as a
whole, is of pleasing significance. 1t
means that favorable legislation such
as the oil producers of the west have
desired for years probably will be en-
acted by congress. Liberal laws gov
erning the acquisition and operation
OF leases undoubtedly will stimulate
activity in the oil fields and result
in a larger amount of new produc-
tion, which is so urgently needed at
this time.
The time is here when misunder-
standings and politics should be dis
carded and every qossble encourage
ment given to development of such
natural resources as oil mines and
waterpower.
A spirit of frienly cooperation and
helpfulness on the part of the gov
ernment will do more to increase pro-
duction than all the drastic legisla-
tion in the world.
