PREDICT INCREASE
 IN OIL PRODUCTION

Dallas, Tex, Dec, 24.-Big oil pro- ducers of the Southwest predict that peace will bring increased production and increased consumption of fuel oil, lubricating oil, and gasoline.
 They declare that to meet specifi- cations of high grade fuel oil under admiralty purposes 1t was necessary 10 refine much crude oil under waste 1 the future.
 Increased consumption, producers say, will result from neutral mar kets replenishng, their stocks, from more general use of motor cars in European countries that have been al war, and from the use in Great Britain, France and Italy of thous- ands of motor lOrries, now i'll the war zone, as auxiliary systems of over worked railways.
 But this increased demand will be more than offset by increased produc tion officers of the large Texas com- panies declare. Production in the North Texas field now is 62,OO0 bar rels a day, the Gulf field sproducing 'GS,000 barrels, the Kansas fields 99,- GOO, the Oklahoma fields, outside of Gushing and Healton 142,000, the Gushing 44,5oo and the Healton 42, 50O The Texas figures shows an increase over figures for the quar- tel ending September 30 which gave the total production as g, 244,s14 bar rels, valued at $1S,O91 ,249. This was an increase of more than a million barrels over the June quarter and two million over the March quarter.
 Experts here say the Mexican fields alone have a potential produc tion of 100000 barrels a day
 Producers predict that with the ex- tension of the oil fields, oil stations will be established at ports through out the world and permit of further adoption by ships of oil burning pow CT systems.

The Razor In Civilization,

Busts of the Caesars show them tn have been clean-shaven. Men iIr the eighteenth century relied still further on the barber's art, for they shaved their heads as well. HOgarth has painted q beau of this period who by some chance had his wig removed which gives him the look of an elderly baby. The unccuth appearance of the barbarians, which shocked the Romans, was due a good deal to the neglect ot these wild mon to dress their hair.

THE MEXICAN PROBLEM.

When the ruins of war have been taken into account, and all matters resulting from the devastating war have been adjusted ill European coun- tries, America will find herself with another problem on her hands. There will have to be an adjustment of con ditions in Mexico.
 For the past six or seven years the land of the Aztecs has been engaged; in a fratericidal counflict that has Are- tarded progress in the southern re- public for at least twenty years. The land which Diaz was bringing to the front in develop in gifts wonderful natural resources has stopped to wait while revolutions and counter revolutions are eXternin- ating the people and devastating ana laying waste all that Diaz had builded. The United States. by reason of it's Monroe doctrine, is in large mcasurs sponsor for that unhappy country, at least other nations will oolk to Ameri- ca to protect their interests sooner or later. But Amerian invested capital has suffered in Mexico as we'll as that of European countries Ameirca Will have to deal with the situation and that it will be one of many complexities IS admitted England, France and oth- CTS who have large investments Will expect America to see that their inter- ests are taken care of,
 Citizens fthe United States alone have laims running into hundreds o! millions, the payment or which have been held in abeyance pending the termination fthe European war Now that the world peace is near, the set clement of these claims cannot be mucf longer deferred.
 Just what means will be rcsortco to is not known. of course, but the governments military mobilization ol the border undoubtedly is of som' significance. Over a month age plans were being made in milltar. circles for the concentration Of 3U, goo troops on the Mexican border Il the Brownsville ountry. Fort Brow was being put in readiness to accom- moderate 20,O0c troops, while it wa given out in military circles that tn remainder would be distributed among the other camps along th' border.
 The action of Mexico regarding th' oil concessions to foreigners, amount ing to practially onnfisation vii hardly be permitted, and as the Mon roc dotcrine precludes European countries from landing r. $. troop in Mexico, Uncle Sam will natural, be expected to see that the damage are paid.

cities and towns by the University
of Wisconsin Extension division in
cooperation with the central diyi-
sion of the American Red Cross.
To carry on this work and wide
range of other activities the Exten-
sion division has maintained since
shortly after war was declared a
special Red Cross department de-
voted to aiding relief workers
throughout the state.
Among the cities in which chap
ter courses have been given are Su-
perior, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac,
Green Bay, Maripette, Sheboyg an,
Wausau, Merrill, Beloit, La Crosse,
Prairie du CHEN, Milwaukee and
Platteville. Platteville not only has
a chapter course, but is planning an
Institutional campaign for rural
home service.
Nearly $50 listed speakers have
been sent out over the state during
the past year by the Extension to
lecture for the Red Cross, and dur
ing the membership drive As others
were sent out. Lantern slides,
films, and various stencil material
have been sent out to the local
chapters to enable them to get start
ed and to furnish them with helpful
information. Furnishing aid in the
way of information and speakers
for Red Cross functions has been
an important function of the Exten-
sion division. Much of the Red
Cross bureaus work has consisted
in aiding in the organization of To-
cal chapters in various cities and,
as this work has been completed in
various sections of the state, its ef-
forts are now being directed toward
chapter courses, institutes, and
other activities.
In Milwaukee the second institute
this year for women from various
parts of the state is now being con-
Quoted and/there were three times
as many applicants as could be ad-
mitted. The certificates granted
by this institute are recognized by
the national Red Cross. A course
in Civilian Relief is now being Civ
en- at the summer session of the
University of Wisconsin in response
TO the request of the American Red
Cross for educational institutions
to aid in instruction in Red Cross
work.

ThreShermen Meet
Ing Well Attended


enty-fi v e threshermen attended
meeting at the court house in Els
worth. The meeting was called by
the Food Administration f the
purpose of considering a means of
conserving grain during the thresh-
ing season. All the threshermen at
tending the meeting were enthu-
siastic in their desire to save every
bit of the grain threshed this fall.
The threshermen are all going to
sign pledges which are going to be
sent them by the Food Aministra-
ton, whereby they promise to avoid
all unnecessary waste of grain dur
ing the harvesting and threshing
operations and cooperate in every
way with the Food Administrator
in reducing wastage. A certificate
of membership in the United States
Food Administration will be issued
to all the threshermen. 1t is de-
sired that all the farmers cooperate
with the threshermen in their efforts
along these lines. Ways were sug-
geSted by which the farmers could
help, such as by seeing that his
grain racks are in good repair and
that the holes in his grain sacks are
mended, and that he refrain from
insisting that the threshers thresh
when the grain is not absolutely dry
and in condition for threshing.
A committee Of five threshermen
was selected to act with the county
threshing committee in dealing with
problems that will arise during the
threshing season. The five thresher-
men appointed are; William Stearn,
Prescott, Wisconsin; Hubert Schla-
gweiler, Plum City, Wisconsin; AL
bert Huber, Ellsworth, Wisconsin;
George Murphy, River Falls, Wis
consin; John Feiler, Rock Elm, Wis
consin. The county committee con-
ssts of Prof. J. M. May of River
Falls, Peter Huppert of Town of
Oak Grove, and w. G. Haddow, of
Ellsworth. The men composing the
threshermen's committee were Sc
lected from different parts Of the
county in order that the thresher-
men in the different localities could
take matters up with them, and they
in turn can report to the county
committee.
A letter was sent to the United
States Food Administration at Madi-
son, urging that express companies
be compelled to label threshing ma
chine extras in some way SO as to
cause them to be given a preference
in transportation, and also urging
that wholesalers b e required o
keep on hand plenty of supplies so
that delays would not occur during
the threshing season, resulting in
losses.
At a meeting of the thresher-
mems committee with the county
committee held on Friday at Els
worth, it was decided that an in
spector would, before the threshing
season opened, inspect each thresh-
ing machine in the county, and in
cases where repairs were needed,
would recommend threshermen to
repair his machine so that it would
be in shape when the threshing sea-
son commences.
All of the threshermen seem anx-
ious to cooperate in this matter and
they believe that the farmers will
assist them in doing their duty as
members of the Food Administra-
ton.
