Second Dividend of

Fort Worth, Texas. Aug. g.
Checks for the second dividend of the
United Oil company have been
mailed stockholders of record of that
company. It was a so per cent. divi-
dent. A similar dividend was paid
June Is. The well was brought in
on Nav 5 and is reported as capable
of making around 5000 barrels per
day. The we'll has been practically
shut down for the last ten days, ac-
cording to L. Anthony Lang, presi-
dent. due to the congestion in the
northwest field and it is not known
what the well could really make if
it was opened wide.
The second well of this company
is resting on the sand with the cas-
ing set, ready to be brought in as
soon as it can be connected with a
pipe line and the third well has been
spuddled in and is now drilling.

Fort Worth, Taxas Aug.-4.With

demona district sufficient, it is esti-
mated, to swell the flush production
Of the pool to $4,000 barrels daily,
the first relief to come from the con-
gestion Of the last ten days will re-
suit when the Humble Pipe Line
company begin running crude thru its
8-inch pipe line to it's Comyn tank
farm. This is now expected to be
about July %, or within day or
two thereafter.
Meantime. the Magnolia Petroleum
company, which has been running all
the crude taken from the Desdemona
district sometimes called the Duke
Knowles pool, is making no more pipe
line connections. It's seven $4,000
barrel tanks on the Guthrie farm are
full to capacity and it has only one
$4,000 barrel tank empty out of the
four at the Riddle farm.
Magnolia receipts for the month to-
tailed 100000 barrels, some of which
may have been handled from Ran
ger prior to the situation becoming
acute in the Desdemona district, and
$4,000 barrels of crude was handled
thru it's S-inch pipe line to Corsicana.
It lis said that it will be another
month before the United Producers
pipe line Curtis & Atkin, J. S. Cos
den ct all can build into the BESIDE
mona district and it will require at
least three more, it is now said, for
the Prairie Pipe Line company to
build in from Ranger. AS reported
last week, Warren Wagner of Ran
ger proposes a short line from the

nounced also, the producing depart

extent of the facilities.

tract, near the Desdemona townslte,
which is good for approximately q
500 barrels at 2,675 feet. A second
we'll of ]. E. Crosbie On the Putty
tract is good for 100 barrels after
drilling to total depth of 1920 feet.
There have been few others that
it has been possible to drill in, so
that after a number Of highly flush
wells that turned attention to the
temporary congestion that set in,
about ten days active development
has been cut short after reaching
the pay level. y
However, with the highly flus he'd
wells of the district cutting their pro-
duction in two within months time,
as shown by the two Terrell "'gush-
ers" of the Magnolia, it may be eX-
pected that if the congestion is to
continue then intensive drilling must
be practiced. In a measure, this is
being done, drilling sites and acre
tracts having been obtained in a
number of instances for development.
1t is fact however, that such a con-
dition can result to no more than a
limited extent outside the townsite.
Another 5000 Barrels at Ranger.
Latest reports from the we'll of
Belentine ct al on the Pleasant Grove
school lot. offsetting the Porter
Wertz Syndicate's Perkins, are to the
effect it made a maximum of ap-
proximately 5000 barrels. That was
also the estimated maximum pro-
duction of the Perkins, which is now
doing roundly 5000 barrels. These
wells are between the towns OF Ran
ger and Eastland end almost directly
west of the northernmost of the two
Texas company wells on the Boyd,
about two mile.
North Of Eastland, the test of
Ardizzone ct al of Tulsa on the Kin
caide tract is making 100000 cubic
feet of gas at 1.750 feet. The test is
three miles north Of Eastland and in
the general direction Of the Hueco-
Ranger Oil company's shallow well
along the Observation-Disclosures county
line. which opened up a prospective
shallow pool, this latter well now
making 800 barrels as against 1900
barrels with which it was first credi-
ted.

When a Man is Forty

Forty years may rob man of his physical
stamina but his mentality is not impaired very
much The Kansas City Star, commenting on the
battle between youth and age at Toledo on the
Fourth, draws this parallel:
Prize fighting, as has often been pointed out
is too strenuous game for elderly gentlemen ap-
preaching the age of 40. Hereafter of the
maturity of Mr.. Willard would do well to take
their relaxation in playing golf.
Men under 25 make the best soldiers. Thirty
is the deadline for those who do the work in polar
expeditions. Once in great while man in the
30s is able to play tournament tennis. But most
of the champions are around 20.
Just why this is nobody knows. Under the
microscope it can be seen that the arteries of a
person over 80 are beginning to show their age.
That is about all. Presumably other changes are
going on that have not yet been observed. 1t is
quite likely that most thorough physical exam
ination of Willard yesterday morning would not
have revealed his real condition His wind might
have been good His muscles might have regis
tered as strong ever in any test. But the resil-
iency, the stamina, the driving force of youth
we're gone.

The Material Situation

The Washington Post contributes the follow
ing to the discussion of the financial situation
and the price level which is engaging internat-
ional attention just now:
"The material situation of the world is tas-
cinating study at this time. 1t is impossible
for any intellect to grasp the multitude of fac
tors that make up this situation, and in this res
pect statesmen suffer the same handicap as or
binary mortals. If the political adjustments fail
TO work successfully it will be partly because of
the inability of the human mind to master the
problems presented to it result of the great
war. No one questions the good faith OF the dele
gates to the Paris peace conference. They are
merely unable to cope with a situation which
must work itself out.
The war expenses and losses are estimated at
about 5000 O0O, 600, 900. The world is worse off
bv that amount because Of the The losses
cover every kind of activity and production, but
staggering as they are, they do not include the
manhood loss, which is far more disastrous.
There is no method of calculating what the man.
hood loss means in terms of money. But by
merely rejecting upon the tens of thousands of
homes that must struggle for bread without
breadwinner, the thousands of industries crippled
for lack of labor the impaired transportation sys-
TENS on land and water and the that must
lie waste for few years, it is possible to form
