Second Important Merger

When the merger of the National
Provincial Bank of England and the
Union, Of London, and Smiths Bank
was announced in December the ANAL
gamation was described in London as
a development of exceptional import
ance, and the greatest even of its kind
in the history of banking in Great
Britain. In point of resources involved
the latest merger is equally important
Amalgamation of English banks is said
to be one result of the centralizing in
tons generally.

Oil Production
Is Curtailed by
Severe Weather
Loss of Over 10000 Barrels
Reported on January
Operations

During January l,2O1 wells were
completed in the oil fields covered by
the coil City Derrick's" monthly re-
port of operations. The new produc-
ton obtained was 50,ll1 barrels Com
pared with the December report, there
was decrease of 522 in the number
OF wells completed and Of 3O,724 bar
rels in new production. With the ex-
ception of the Central Ohio division
and the Gulf Coast, there was a
smaller number of completed wells e.
ported from each district, while all Of
them, with the exception Of Kansas,
showed loss in the amount of new
production Work in Central Ohio
was largely due to the gas companies,
while the Gulf Coast obtained its in
crease through the completion of wells
delayed the previous month by the
strike.
The compilations for January were
smaller than for the spondng
month since 1915, when only 931 wells
were reported. But at that time the
Gushing field had shut down opera
tions elsewhere, and the gushers there
helped to make the production for the
month 1855 barrels. In January
1917, the compilations numbered ABA,
with new production of 94,391 bar

Niagara Falls Power Redistributed

The output of the hydro electric

tries using the current and priority
given to plants manufacturing mum
lions or filling orders for the govern
ment, according to report on business
conditions issued by Pierre Jay, chair
man of the board Of the Federal Re-

which manufacture products essential
for war, Mr.. Jay points out, have been
affected by the shortage of fuel and
transportation difficulties due to the
extremely cold weather.

HOW TO KEEP HONEY
Is TOLD BY EXPERT

In selling honey as a substitute
Tor sugar the retail grocer and his
customers may encounter some diff.
ficulty through lack of knowledR.
OF storing and handing this product
according to the American Food
Journal Housewives usually put
their honey in the cellar for safe
keeping. probably the worst possible
place, as honey absorbs moisture
from the atmosphere and will be-
come thin and in time sour. Comb
honey kept in a damp place will be
hurt In appearance as well as In
quality. A practicable rule is TO
Keep honey In any place where salt
remains dry. II honey has granu-
lated or candled, put the can con-
tanning 1t In a large vessel holding
water no hotter than the hand can
be borne in II the water is too hot.
there Is danger of spelling the color
and running the flavor of the honey.
The can of honey should be support
ed on a block 81 wood in the vessel

stove will not be too Intense.

WAR INSURANCE
OF FIGHTING MEN
HUMANE SYSTEM

Secretary McAdoo has called upor
all local draft boards to acquaint
drafted men with the provisions OF
the soldier-insurancs law and to urge
every drafted man to take out this
insurance. The boards have been
furnished with literature to aid
them in this educational work.
The law affording insurance to
our fighting forces has well been
called the most just and humane pro-
vision ever made by a nation for its
soldiers and sailors. The Govern
ment and the American people recog-
nize the justice of affording this
protection to the men who risk their
lives for their country and to their
families and dependents at home. 1t
is only just to themselves and to
their families and dependents that
our fighting men avail themselves
OF this opportunity.
Every American enlisting should
take out this insurance and carry
with him into danger the heartening
knowledge that whatever happens,
himself, and his dependents are pro-
tected by his Government

HUMAN POWER BIC
FACTOR IN WINNING
DEMOCRACY'S WAR

We read much OF man power these
days; human power is a better term,
because IT emphasizes the fact that
the women and children also consti-
tute a great factor in this war. In
the final victory every man, woman,
and child in America can and should
have a part
In comparing the man power OF Ger
many with that of the United States
it must be borne in mind that a much
larger proportion OF the manual labor
Of the man power of the nation is
performed, is exerted by the German
women than by the women Of Amer
lea 1t is said that in peace times the
women constituted AZ per cent of the
agricultural and Industrial labor of
Germany. They work in the fields, in
the factories, in the mines, at the very
hardest and most laborious tasks, do
ing the work only done by men in this
country. With a great proportion OF
the German men in the army, II is not
improbable that women now consti-
tute by far the larger half of German
manual labor.
The women OF the United States are
nobly, unselfishly, manfully, one may
say, bearing their share Of the bur
dens of war. By the grace of God and
the power and courage OF America the
fate OF the German women is not and
Will never be theirs. But II will be
with their assistance and cooperation
md their full assumption of the bur-
lens and duties Of the day that the
United States is to exert its full power
IN Riding the world OF that !ntoler-
able German kultur which makes
brute soldiers of the men and slaves

DON'T SHOOT PIGEONS.
ADVICE TO HUNTERS

Pigeons may be an excellent sub
s''iute for beef, but they should not
be killed indiscriminately. Hunters
especially are urged not to shoot

be homing pigeons being trained in

The Offensive has passed from the
Germans to the Americans and

of the information reaching here to-
/ day. The German assaults every

One very cheering report reaching
here today declared that the Ameri-

an offensive today directed against
the left flank OF the German armies
which have been engaged In this
weeks battle.
Army officers were without any
general details OF this particular ac-
ton, but it was accepted as entirely
what could be expected. This move
ment was intended to turn the Ger

the ground west OF that in which the

have been confident hat when the
onrushing Germans were held in their
tracks and then thrown back in their
tracks, the finish of the German ef-
forts to maintain the offensive would
be in sight, Today these same ex-
perts are confirmed in this belief.
When the war council and its gen
eralissimo are convinced that the time
has come to strike the entire allied
army on the western front-reserves
included-will be thrown into action,
regardless OF cost, to crush complete-
ly the German military power.
Six weeks ago Secretary Of War
Baker told the Senate Military At
fairs Committee that II would be the
task Of the United States this year to
send sufficient troops across to hold
the western line firm and that NEXT
year the preponderance of American
troops would allow the offensive 10
be maintained uninterruptedIy at ali
times.
Next Year Program Now,
But with the American man power
program already more than six months
ahead Of schedule there was a gem
eral feeling in official circles that
possibly the program for next year
might be undertaken this autumn.
Although officials carefully voiced
warnings to the newspapers not to
raise too high hopes at this time
they made little effort to conceal
thelr elation over the developments
OF today. Monday the Germans
launched their most formidable drive
OF the year.
Today-three days later-not only
mas that drive been checked every
where, but the offensive has passed
TO the allies and the Germans have
suffered very heavy losses in men
and materials, with no correspond
ing compensation anywhere.
The big thanking movement along
the Fontenoy-BelIeau Wood line must
OF necessity distract the attention of
the Germans from their original OBJ
Jectives, officers explained. Not only
that, but they will be compelled 10
maintain their reserves at all points.
because they will be unable to tell
whether this particular movement Is
not the forerunner Of a most dam
gerous forward movement all along
the line.
