WILL NOT OUTBID EACH
OTHER FOR INSTRUCTORS

Topeka, July 2S.-State educa-
tional institutions will cease bidding
against each other for the service of
desired instructors and experts. This
was the rule planned today during a
session of the State Board of Admin
istration in Governor Aliens office.
The rule will be put in effect i'm
mediately. The members of the
board insist that is is unbusinesslike
to have institutions all under one
management compete against each
other.

OLD WELL STILL PRODUCING
Hole Drilled for Oil in Pieo Canyon,
California, Continues to Pour
Forth Wealth.

The first known discovery of petro
leum In California was made in 1865,
by Mexican hunter, who had followed
deer trail to the head CO PIco canyon
In Los Angeles county, near the pres
ent town of NewhaIl.
he came upon seepage OF sticky
fluid that was unknown to him.
Prompted by curiosity he collected a
small quantity of it and took it to the
mission settlement at San Fernando.
There a Doctor Gelsich. who had for
merly resided in Pennsylvania, identi-
fed it as petroleum and at once formed
a company and staked out claims. In
1870 a shallow well was drilled at the
head Of Pico canyon, and is said to nave
produced at the time of drilling be-
tween 20 and 70 barrels of oil per
day.
About this time D. G. Scoield
formed what was known as the Cali
fOrnia Star OH company. Later the
Pacific OIL company was formed. and
the two companies were operated I'M
der the same management-C. A. Men
try being field superintendent, and Mr..
Scofeld, vice president and general
manager.
The old well today is the property
of the Standard OIL company Of Cal
ifornia, and stands as the first and
Oldest well in the state. 1t has never
been a prominent factor In California's
petroleum industry as it is known to-
day, but while hundreds OF wells since
drilled haven't even a derrick left to
mark their location, mo. A. as it is
known, is still alive and still pro-
ducing.-Petroleum Record.

HISTORIC BERMUDAN CHURCH
ST. Peters Has Many Mementoes Of
Interest to Both Enolishmen
and Americans.

One of the most interesting
churches to be found anywhere is old
st. Peters in Bermuda. 1t is in the
told town of st. Georges, and was
built in 1713 on the same site as the
first church, built in 1880. 1t is built
of the native white limestone, as are
all the buildings in the Bermudas,
and 1t shows the marks of time.
Everything in and about st. Peters
is intensely interesting. Its church
yard contains, among others, the
grave of Hester Tucker, the "Nea" be-
loved of Thomas Moore, the poet, who
was an official at st. Georges at one
time, and promptly fell in love with
pretty Hester. Every square inch aof
the old church walls, inside, are COW
cred with memorial tablets, many of
them being the work of famous Eng
lish sculptors. Not few of the tab
lets perpetuate the memory of MEM
bers of the English nobility, and 1t
makes one realize what scourge yell
low fever and smallpox were before
science got In its beneficent work, for
illusions to smallpox and yellow fever
being the cause of the deaths are very
numerous. st. Peters has massive
silver communion service presented
by King William III of England, and
a christening basin, the gift of Gov.
William Browne of Salem, Mass, in
1888. The pieces presented by the
king all have the insignia IF the Or
der of the Garter.

THE FUTURE OF PALESTINE.


A few days ago some 400 delegates
from all sections of the country, and
representing more than 100000 AM
erican Jews, assembled at Philadelph-
la for the second of the American Jew
ish congress. The delegates were I'M
usually enthusiastic because of the
present bright prospects for the re-
Establishment of a Jewish nation in
Palestine and the realization of the as
perations of the Jewish people
throughout the world during the last
two thousand years for homeland of
their own
That their hopes in this respect are
we'll founded seems evident from the
fact that the project has already been
approved by France, Italy, Serbia and
also by President Wilson, and more
over the attitude of the delegates to
the peace conference now in session
is reported to be almost without ex-
ception, favorable to the plan.
