RICH HERITAGE
Successful Development of a
Great National Industry in
kentucky-A New Field
of Opportunity

People Of Kentucky are beginning
to recognize the importance OF oil in
the state. II has certainly brought
some tremendous investments TO Louis
Vile in the nature Of oil reiineries.
Another large oil refinery will he built
Immediately adjoining the Standard
Oil plant there.
1t is said that Henry Ford, of De-
trOit is largely Interested in this
proposition. Mr.. Ford has always
been interested In cheap fuel for cars
and tractors, and the development OF
the gasoline engine has made tire.
mendous demand for fuel for motive
power.
The adaptation of the gas engine for
so many new and diverse purposes, iht
aeroriane, steamships and railrond

that we are entering upon a new era
where oil for fuel will be THE great
demand
The Possibilities In kentucky

eNtruvagant, but 1t Is a matter of rec

He was also man of vision and
saw that the near future would dis
close Il demand for oil, the scope of
which would be almost impossible to
calculate When that time arrived the
oil industry would come into its own
and yield handsome returns. Accord
ingly he bought up a large tract of
land and made the most careful tests
and waited for the OppOrtune time to
disclose this FIND to the general
public.
Development Has Begun.
The Equitable OIL and Gas Co. has
now taken over all this land held in
such esteem by Mr.. Glsh. They think
the time has arrived for its fullest de-
velopment.
The Equitable Oil and Gas Corpora
tiOn was recently organized at Will
mington, Delaware, for the purpose of
taking over and operating the Dia-
mond Springs oil and Gas Field. Its
authorized capital is S5,O00,0OO, and
the par value of its shares $10O each,
and no stock is to be sold under par
The management of the company is
exceptionally strong, being composed
of some of the leading and most sue
cessful oil and business men of the
state. Two hundred and fifty thou
sand shares of the capital stock have
been allotted for sale at the par value
of S1,00 per share, the proceeds of the
sale Of this stock to be used for the

FROM GUY RANNEY
Cedar Rapids, Ia.

Cedar Rapids, Ia.
Editor Herald,
Hartford, Ky,
l thought perhaps some of the
readers of The Herald might be in
terested in q letter from Iowa. Ce-
dar Rapids is 210 miles west of
Chicago on the main line of the
Chicago and North Western Rail-
road, other railroads that lead into
the city are the Rock Island, Illi-
nois central and the c. NJ. & st. P.
The town has a population oil 45,-
900 and is very beautiful town
especially in the residential sec
tion, some of the most beautiful
avenues and paved streets of the
country are in Cedar Rapids.
There are several wholesale
houses here. Three wholesale Gro
Gerry houses and three wholesale
Fruit houses, a wholesale dry goods
house besides some other smaller
houses, a meat packing plant own
ed by l. NJ. Sinclair & Co., which
does an immense business in the
west. The home of Quaker Oats
is here their largest mill and the
largest mill of it's kind in the world
is located here, the National Oats
mill is here also. The Douglass
starch works, the home of Douglass
Oil is here, this factory employees a
large number of men and women.
Several other small factories are
here which employ a great many
people.
They have good schools here and
plenty of them near. Coe College
is situated here and one of the
best Colleges in the state, it is on
ly 80 miles to Mt. Vernon where
the Cornell University is and 2S
miles to Iowa City the state Univer-
sity is also here.
We also have two good hospitals.
1t is a dry town. Living here is
not so high with the exception of
rent, a good house in a good neigh
borhood costs from $25 to $40 a
month.
There is plenty of amusement,
such as movies, opera plays, bowl
ing, billiards, skating and dancing
and always some kind of entertain
ment from out of town, yesterday
we had parade and concert by a
French Army Band, all of the play
ers had seen very hard service on
the battle front and many of them
bore the mark from shot and shell,
they drew quite a crowd to town.
The National Swine Breeders AS
sociation meets here every year in
the month of October and all the
different kinds of Swine Breeders
from all the states gather here and
bring some of their best breeds
with them for Exhibition, II there
should be any Ohio County Breed
ers Interested eaough to attend
would be glad for them to look me
up at the present time l am with
c. Denecke corner of End st. and |
End. avenue in the Grocery Dept.
think this will do for this time.
Yours very respectfully.

WORDS TO MOTHER
Belgian Camp,

Belgian Camp,
Mrs. C.M. Whobrey,
Dear Mother:-As this is Sunday
and Mothers day, will drop you a
few lines. 1t is true / am in
France with a million and a half
others but is we'll to know, while
we are here, our hearts are back
in the good old u. S. A., with our
loved ones. Guess you all think
we boys have a nice time and don't
think of you often, but there isn't
a day or night we don't think of
home and mother. No matter how
good a time we have over here and
the many wonderful things we see
over here, there is one thing we
will be more proud to see and that
is the sight of you when the old
ship has turned her prov into the
harbor of home sweet home. 1t
isn't here what people think it is.
True enough the war is over; but
if the war were not over we
wouldn't think so much of coming
home. But why should we stay
here when there is nothing to stay
for? Do not worry for / am in
good health and will be home soon.
Love to all,

United States regulars patrolled the
area between the pier and the street.
On River street. HobOken, about
:, 900 persons gathered. They could
see nothing but the tunnels Of the
George Washington, but they cheered
Justify when they saw the smoke
stacks begin to move.
No one was permitted on the Ho-
boken roof tops fronting the dock.
AS the George Washington passed
the Statue OF Liberty she met the
transport Sierra coming In with re-
turning troops. The President, and
Mrs. Wilson waved TO the home
coming fighters.
The Sierra dipped her nag and the
George Washington replied.
The cry, There's the Presidents
ship" rang over the Sierra's decks
and soon the rail was lined by dough-
boys who waved their hats and cheer
ed Justify.
Every statement that I made In
my New York speech last night, and
every word said before leaving
will be understood by
the people II not by certain poll
ticlans," said President Wilson be-
fore the liner sailed.
The preliminary peace treaty Will
be the first business taken up by
the peace conference when the Presi-
dent reaches Paris. Mr.. Wilson let Il
be known. The Germans and the
other powers formerly associated with
Germany will then be, in q position to
participate in the final negotiations.
He said he was pleased with the
general situation and was supremacy
that the people Of the
United States will continue to back
up his endeaVors at the conferences.
THE responsibility Of those who
blocked necessary legislation in
Washington during the closing days
of Congress Is certainly known to the
people, and that responsibility docs
not have to be shared" continued
President Wilson.

moved the cap as he greeted the
people from the ships bridge.
Mrs. Wilson wore black dress and
a small dark hat with a~dash Of red
in IL.
The pier was decked out with all
OF the flags of the allies. Two bands
played "The Star-Spangled Banner"
and "Over There" as the great ship
plowed slowly into mid-stream.
At SIP an orderly dashed down
the gangway Of the George Washing
ton under instructions to get copy
of all of the New York morning
papers for the President. He rushed
back on board just a few minutes be-
fore the lines were cast on under
the personal direction of Capt. Will
liam Bernhard.
Tired But Happy.
/ As the President and Mrs. Wilson
climbed the ladder from ''B" deck to
the bridge It was remarked that both
appeared pale. as though tired out
from the strenuous events of the past
few days, but both appeared supreme
~ happy.
The crew..of- the George Washing
ton and the marines in their dress
uniforms lined the deck rail in a
double line as the ship began its long
journey.
The great liner gIistened in a new
coat of paint as she started down
the Hudson toward the open sea
escorted by the great battleship Mon
tana and a group Of six. grim, gray
destroyers.
Factories on shore opened up their
whistles in a mighty roar as the
George Washington proceeded down
the bay.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson will be watch
ed day and night by picked crew
all the way over. Among the inn
provements made in the Overhauling
of the George Washington was the
installation of a new wireless appa-
ratus, which. will enable the .Presi-
dent to keep in constant touch with
land all the way TO France. The old
wireless on the George Washington
had a radius OF only 500 miles.
Crowd Gathers Early.
Crowds began gathering early on
both sides of the river to get a
glimpse of the George Washington
and if possible, of the President him
self. The great skyserapers in lower
New York offered fine points of
vantage and the windows facing the
river. and the roofs were crowded.
1t was not until after o'clock
that any one was allowed upon the
Hoboken pier Then, newspaper men
with credentials from Major Gen. ID.
C. Shanks, commander of the port of
embarkation, We're permitted to go
in. They were not allowed on the
ship, however.
The harbor, strike prevented the OBJ
tanning of tugs to take the George
Washington out Of her dOci:.
When Captain Bernhard, marine SUI
perintendent of docks was asked IL
the liner could go out without tugs,
he replied emphatically:
You bet she can. This strike can't
stop US. Wen put her. out. alone"
The ship was handed so skiIlfully
that two army transport tugs that
came alongside in midstream were
not needed.
President Arrives.

mander Of the George Washington and

Of the gangpIank when President and
