area the next day and marched 16 kilometers to- our first home in a barn in a little town near Meyers.
 Y. Canteen Closed
 We stayed in that area for about two months and finally ran out of smoking tobacco so after much per- suation succeeded in getting a pass to Meyers at 4 o'clock one afternoon for the purpose of getting a supply at the Y canteen at Meyers. The only means of transportation available was an 1912 model bicycle but as my pass was to terminate at g o'clock the next morning I had to make the best of it. I rode up and down the hills of France for something like IS miles that night and arrived in Meyers pretty much down and out about o'clock. I hunted up the Y and found the secretary, explaining to him that I had rode about hun dred miles for a small supply of cigarettes for the men in my com pany. He said that the canteen closed at o'clock and would open at g the next morning. I urged and coaXed him for about 10 minutes to sell me a few, as I could not be there the next morning, but there was nothing doing even when I offered twice the price for them.
 Of course what I thought of him wouldn't do to print. T went over to the K. c. and explained my predica- ment and they gave me a small box for nothing. also hunted up the Red Cross and they gave me a few more so returned to camp about a. m. the next morning with about two cigarettes per man and a great deal of grievance against the. Y.
 Shortly after that we moved to a little town near Paris by the name of Noisel. When I arrived there found a small canteen being oper- ated by they in charge of Unitarian minister, assisted by two Jewish sol diers. There was sign out to the effect that the canteen would open at 6 o'clock. I was going on guard at 6:30 and wanted some tobacco. I waited till 6:25 and no one showed up. so I had to do without I had occasion about 2 o'clock to go over to cafe on business and found both the clerks there having a good time. and apparently with no intention of opening the canteen. that night.
 No Cigarettes
 A few days later I was at little town called Veaux near Chateau Thierry and a Y truck loaded with tobacco and candy stopped and asked for some officer with the 82nd divi- sion as he had a truck load of can teen supplies which he was ordered to deliver. He was told that the 82nd division had moved the day before and no one knew where they were. He would have to go to Paris to find out. He said he had come from Paris and SO guessed he would have to take the stuff back if he couldn't find the S2nd. The men who were there told him they were all out of tobacco and asked him to sell them some of the supplies. He refused to do so as he was ordered to deliver it to the 82nd so he took them back 127 kilometers to Paris.
Bisbee daily review., 1919-07-13

So we see that from these expert ences the men formed an opinion of the Y which it will take years to live down and all because of few inefficient secretaries who could not or were afraid to use just little bit of good common horse sense in their business affairs and we find that all of these adverse experiences were in connection with the canteen. And this condition was not confined to any isolated instances. It was gen. eral in the canteen business in most every Y or at least every one I saw. Another thing that was disliked about the canteens was the fact that We always had to line up and wait anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour before we could get anything. AS a general rule the men were billeted in small towns and they would get pass es to the nearest city for a day or two at 4 time They wanted to see the sights and not waste any time in waiting in line. They had to line up for everything in camp and when on pass they felt that they were to a certain extent free American citih zens for the time being, and objected to doing anything that savored ot army detail.
 Salvation Army Different
 With the Salvation Army condi- tions were little different. I remem- Der one night I arrived in camp after supper and was too late to get any. thing to eat. I went over to the Salvation Army building and asked the man there if he would sell me package of cakes. He asked me if was hungry and with the reply that was he said, come around to the back door and I'll see what can do, as the canteen is closed now and we can't sell anything. I went around to the back door and he was waiting with the package of cakes. I offered to pay him for it but, he said the canteen was closed and he couldn't sell anything, so refused to accept the money.
 The value of the package was ten cents but the value of the service rendered was friend for life and so we find that the Salvation Army was small in. size as compared with the but it stood ace high in the estima, tion of the men because they always tried to render a real service of some kind instead of trying to do a big business.
 American Girls in France
 As regards the American girls In France who were with the various Welfare organizations, I have heard a few criticisms about them, but it came always from people who had never seen one working there and who knew nothing of the facts at all. Some have stated that the Y girls and Red Cross girls were seen smok, ing cigarettes in the cafes in Paris, and as I believe I have been in prac- tically every cafe in Paris frequented by Americans, and on all of the prominent occasions I believe that I am qualified to say that such is not the case. I have asked other men and with one exception they all are unstinted in their praise of the American girls working in France.

tempt To Weaken Market
Made During Week.

{ Dallas. Texas. April Throughout
the country. movements have been
made in the past week 10 weaken the
market for high gravity crude oil
T Production OF high gravity crude from
Texas pools is not Increasing in a
manner TO justify these movements
The last week showed less oil pro-
duced in light crude Texas fields than
4 the preceding week. This does not
mean that the pools are receding, but
IL showed that the increase OF produc-
ton is not so rapid as TO threaten the
stability Of the market or 10 Justify
fear that transportation viii be in
adequate.
Approximately $4,000 barrels. a de-
crease Of approximately 10000 from
the total OF March IS, was shown on
March 2S tabulatious OF the out put
OF high gravity crude from all Texas
pools The fields attained a peak OF
$4,000 barrels as a result OF heavy
flush production from several big
wells In Eastland and Stephens coun-
ties.
The March IS tabulated production
Is 1850 barrels greater than the Feb
ruary IS totals. and the latter totals
IS $4,000 barrels more than the figures
OF January "a and 75. 900 barrels great
er than the figures Of December 5.
1913. While 10 IS true that the out
put today is 10000 carrels less than
two weeks ago. todays production IS
$4,000 barrels greater than It was
four months ago.
A shanp slump IN Stephens county's
daily output Is chiefly responsible for
the falling off in the general totals
and the Stephens county slump has
been largely caused by normal decline
in the flush production Of the Mid
Kansas No I. ". E Cary. in the Cad
DO pool, and the unusual rapid loss in
flush production by the Gulf Produc-
tion company's Fincher and White
gushers in the Breckenridge pool
stephens county iE now estimated as
producing $4,000 daily. No wells OF
importance have been completed IN
the county IN the last ten DAYS to off
set the decline OF the older wells. The
production OF Eastland county IS now
$500 barrels daily, not quite as good
as the peak point attained directly
after the Norwood was deepened Il
viii be remembered that after the
Norwood, which had been producing
about 1000 barrels a day. was drilled
i've feet deeper. Il responded with
1900 barrels q day, becoming a sec
ond wonder gusher OF the world. the
first having been the Carey well in

Indications. FOR many wells are on TOP
