are flowing every day from the bowels
OF the earth In Kansas.
Oklahoma Increases.
Oklahoma shows an increase IN
March over February Of 100000 bar
rels. It Is now known that vast pools
Of oil exist far beneath the surface
In various parts Of Oklahoma and for
the next year or two these will be
Thoroughly developed. It may be that
Oklahoma and Kansas will in their
production of oil this year serve
greatly to relieve the apprehension
lest there be a gradual falling on
in oil production. Oklahoma and
Kansas together produced In March
considerably over 100000 barrels.
How great a difference that pro-
duction is from that which formerly
characterized the so-called Pennsyl-
vania district! Not many years ago
Pennsylvania was furnishing. much
the greater part of the oil produce1.
In March Of this year. the so-called
Appalachian district, which includes
New York, Pennsylvania, West Nr-
ginia, Kentucky, Ohio and indiana,
produced only 100000 barrels.
California was the banner State for
oil production in March, the output
aggregating nearly 100000 barrels.
1t is somewhat alarming to note
that. in spite of the increase in pro-
duction in March over February of
approximately over 100000 barrels,
nevertheless there was a decrease in
stocks OF oil in March as compared
with February OF nearly 10000 bar
rels. The exigencies of the war.
which occasion heavy demand for
oil, explain this discrepancy.

Rosie Wasn't Guilty This Time
Rosie Richardson. adopted daughter
of Nancy Richardson, has an aw-
full reputation around her home.
Her adopted mother. adopted sisters,
cousins. etc. all say that she steals.
Rosie was arrested Tuesday and
charged with stealing 5000 from
Nancy.
The money was in a bureau drawer.
The drawer had been pried open with
a knife and the money taken.
The cop that arrested Rosie found
only % in her stocking.
That same day Rosie had been told
to get out OF the house because OF
some alleged misconduct.
She went upstairs to change her
clothes. came downstairs and went
out.
Immediately afterward the money
was missed and the cops put on her
trail.
No one saw Rosie take the money.
The $6 which was found on her, Rosie
says. she earned by washing clothes
and sweeping floors.
There were other people in the house
when the money was taken,
Therefore 1t could have been some
one else beside Rosie. Just because
she had q bad reputation along that
line is no reason that she was guilty
this time.
That is the way the court looked al
u and allowed her to go free.
The Poor Child Wa. HunEry.
An old raggedy, worn out pocket
book had been lying on Madeline
Coleman's pantry shelf ever since
the year one.
1t was empty and no one both
cred his head about it.
A few weeks ago. Madeline's half
sister, Rosie Mclean, came from
the country to live with her.
Rosie was q busybody and roote-
ed and snooped all over the house.
She spotted the old pocketbook.
She looked in It. She was peeyed
at not finding any money.
Then she threw IT in the ash can.
Upstairs she went. She searched
all around.
She was mad at being April fool
ed on the old pocketbook, and de-
termined 10 get something anyhow.
She found Madeline's new pocket
book. 1t had IS in real money in
1t and SO in Confederate money.
Out she went. Ice cream cones,
ginger pop. peanuts. soda water.

Madeline discovered her with an
armful OF stun. She was suspicious
right away.
The - in real money had been
spent The Confederate money had
been given to q little boy.
And because It was her FIRST Of
Tense, and on Madeline's promise
to send the girl back to the coun-
try. the court took Rosie's personal
bonds and paroled her.
