The most interesting recent event
In the Ardmore oil fields is the find
Ing of high grade oil by the Okla
homa-Fox test in section / 2s2w.
The sand was picked up yesterday at
1904 feet and proved to be IS feet
thick. The production is conserva-
lively estimated at 10 barrels, and
the drill will be sent deeper in search
OF a thicker sand, although it may
be necessary to come back and de
velop this sand The remarkable
feature is that this oil is very light
and high in gasoline content, much
like the Burkburnett oil, while the
other wells in this part of the field
have produced nothing but an eN-
tremely heavy oil from a greater
depth. There is little gas in this
sand in the Oklahoma-Fox well.
From this time on the further drill
ing in this well will be watched with
interest by the oil fraternity, and
further drilling may develop field
in a heretofore unexpected direction
from the Healdton field. The Okla
homa-Fox is the fartheSt north and
east we'll in the county. Earl Athcy
is the drilling contractor.

NO ONE WANTS TO
TACKLE KREIDER
Democratic National Chair

Candidate For Congress

There Is no Democratic nominee

trict composed of Dauphin, Lebanon
and Cumberland counties. the home
district of Democratic National
Chairman Vance @. Mccormick, and
this Is the last day for filing changes
I'm candidates. she Democratic State
Executive Committee, which alone
Is empowered to fll vacancies on
such tickets, has net been called for
a meeting.
II. II. Mercer, the nominee for
Congress, filed a withdrawal several
days ngo, giving as his reason the
McAdoo orderi. lack of sympathy
with the nominee for Governor on
his "wet" stand and desire not to
embarrass anyone by staying on q
ticket. Mercer 10 a Mechanicsburg
lawyer and Ii counsel for a small
railroad. His withdrawal was n sur
prise to the Mccormick men here
and they have boen making unsuc-
cessful efforts to get some one to
run against Congressman Aaron S.
Kreider, whose reelection is as
sured.
One story is that Mercer. who was
induced to file papers at the last
minute and who was the only as
pirant for the nomination. does not
see why he should pay campaign
expenses in a hopeless battle and
the national chairman taking very
little interest in what happens in
his own district.

Philadelphia, Oct. 5. = William G..
McAdoo. director general of railroads,
rapidly is earning the title of Little
Father of Railroad Men" by series
of orders, each giving the railroad en-
ployes an advantage or privilege they
never had before. His latest is an
order to the effect a train crew may
have a so per cent. discount on the
cost of meals in the dining car.
Before the advent of government
control of railroads the roads made
rules in this regard. many of them al
lowing the men a substantial discount,
but never as much as SO per cent.
- At the office of Regional Director
Markham in this city, those in au-
thority stated yesterday they. could
not say whether this reduction in food
prices for railroad men was based on
cost. but admitted it was a liberal dis
count.
However the prices that have pre-
vailed in dining cars will remain the
