Household thrift helped win the
war. 1t will fortify the peace, making
America powerful. its people prosper
GUS and its homes happy.
Thrift is steady earning, wise spend
ing, sane saving, careful investing and
the avoidance of all waste,
What the members of one family
produce in outside industry and in the
home adds TO the national product or
wealth heap" of food, clothing and
all desirable goods; this national
wealth heap is divided among us all,
and out of it every family, each one
of us, gets his living.
What one home wastes is taken
away from the nations wealth and
makes all homes that much poorer.
The war taught us to practice thrift
together in food, In clothing, and in all
goods, In order to serve America and
save the world. Opr country asks con-
tinued thrift in the home al a guaran-
tee that we shall remain prosperous,
progressive, independent and depend
a5is nation.
BY thrift every household can take
It's part gladly in every government
lean; by investing in government Sc
curities it can safeguard its future and
increase its income so as to fulfill the
American ideal of personal independ-
ence and constant progress toward bet
ter living.
Thrift is a permanent service which
the household can render to the ma
ton.

With fresh fruit in plenty the house
keepers problem of what TO serve for
dessert should not prove difficult. She
can take vacation from dessert max
ing and at the same time serve her
family with delicious, refreshing des-
serts. Make the most of the fresh
fruit while it is in season. All ripe
fruits contain sugar and by using it
the craving for sweets can be satisfied
without using much cane sugar The
family will be better OFF without rich
desserts for a time.
What better dessert is needed than
slice of cold watermelon or half of
delicious cantaloupe? It is mere Gus
tom tnat makes people feel that bowl
of fresh fruit-pears, peaches or
plums-are not as good served in their
native state for dinner as they are for
breakfast. A return to simpler des-
serts would be of advantage both from
dietetic and economic standpoint.
But, voice protests, 1--WE grow tired
OF fresh fruit day after day" For the
person who wishes a change from
fresh fruit, the following desserts may
please. They are easily made and as
easily digested-two good points dur

Select firm pears. halve and remove

little water, cover and simmer over

one tablespoonful of corn sirup or one
teaspoonful of sugar to each pear half,

HOW DREADEp SNAKE
NV GETS "RATTLES"
THAT GIVE 1T IT'S NAME.
How old is a rattlesnake? 1t
has always been a source of sat
isfaction to believe that a rat
tlesnake's age could be deter
mined by its rattles. The very
simplicity of the theory recon-
mended it. What could be cas-
ier7 A rattlesnake got a new
ring on its rattle every year.
Count the rings and you have
its age. Now the scientists
come along and explode the
theory.
Raymond Lee Dltmars. cura-
tor of reptiles in the New York
Geological park, describes the
development Of the rattles as
follows:
When a rattlesnake Is born,
it Is provided with small but
ton at the tip of It's tail. A few
months after birth it sheds its
skin. In two months more 1t
sheds its skin a second time,
and in so doing uncovers the
first ring or segment of the rat
tie which has been developing
under the epidermis. Therefore,
every time it sheds its skin it
uncovers a new segment. Under
normal conditions, a rattlesnake
sheds its skin three times
year, but unusual climatic or
food conditions may vary the
number of molts.
The rattle is q very delicate
organ. The snake wears out the
older rings dragging them
around over rough, rocky
ground. A rattle seldom attains
a length of more than ten or
eleven rings, as when that num-
Der has beeL acquired the vibra-
ton at the tip, when the organ
is used, is so pronounced that
additional segments are soon
worn, broken and lost"

controls about 5000 acres we found
prospects for our company that are
simply staggering. From all infor-
nation we could secure, not only
from the officials and employees of
our own company, but from exper-
fenced oil men and drilers, it seems
as if we could hardly miss getting a
big pool of OIL We found our COM
pany drilling at about 100 feet with
a fine big outfit and in charge of Mr..
O'Neil, who seems to be a very high
grade and competent man. At some
where around $500 feet the company
expect to strike oil; as the Carey and
Norwood wells, each about $4,000
barrels day, initial production,
there is no telling what we may
strike. We are told that we'll of
only 500 or 600 barrels day would
make this property worth millions
to the company through the sensa-
tional advances in value that take
place whenever a new pool is opened.
We are glad to report that the judg-
ment of our management seems to
be supported with respect to this
property by many of the very big
gest oil companies in the country, as
some eigth or ten of them are drill
ing around this block of acreage of
ours all apparently expecting to Sc
cure big wells.
We visited the world-renowned dis
trict and field of Ranger, and on ac-
count of time required were unable
to visit our SO acres in Stephens
county, but learned from talking with
oil men, this is one of the very big
oil producing counties, and our pro-
perty is considered very valuable
once.

At Cement, Oklahoma, we find the
company has over 70 acres in the
proven district and within about 800
feet of our leases of 80 acres is the
famous Gala Belle well, that flows
by heads, and that when cleaned out
and allowed to produce at its max
imum, seems likely to make a ire
mendous well. Our company has its
derrick up and we understand drill
ing is to begin on our property at an
early date We certainly ought to
get fine big gusher, the way it looks
to use. Our 40 acre tract looks
mighty good also.
At Burkburnett we saw the we'll
now being drilled by the company in
the townsite that is nearing compile
ton, and as this location is surround
ed by fine wells, we look for good
well here. Just as we are leaving
for home, it is reported fine show
ing for big well was had last night
beyond our 20 acres, thus seeming
to make this 20 acres look like a big
producer when drilled. We are told
that from midnight to o'clock in the
morning one million dollars worth
of leases changed hands at enormous
prices because of this we'll, and there
is no way for us to estimate how
much increased value this gives to
our interest in this property.
Our 10 acres in Burkburnett, to
the west, where the big wells are
coming in, looks like it would be
worth a fortune. We are told that
acreage around these big wells sells
as high as $4,000 to 100000 per
acre.

TEXAS AND

Holdings of National Producing and
Refining Company Visited By
Kentucky Stockholders.
Fort Worth, Tex, May 8, 1919.


TO OUR FRIENDS AT HOME:
This trip we are now bringing to
a close was made by US as stock
holders of the NATIONAL PRODUC-
ING and REFINING COMPANY fol-
the purpose of studying for our
selves and our friends and holdings
and prospects of the company in Tex
as and Oklahoma fields.
We have spent about a week in
vestigating during which time we
have visited the Ranger field, the &C.
ment, Oklahoma, field, the Burkbur-
nett field and the Palo Pinto county
holding of the company.
We have been told that the activity
in the new Texas fields surpassed any
thing ever before experienced in the
history of the development of natural
resources of the country, or the
world for that matter, but even at
that, we were not prepared for what
we have actually seen. Words simp-
ly fail to express our amazement.
The Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 191?-19??, 1919-05-17

i Owing to the time required, it was
not possible to visit the other acreage
of the company, but we are very con-
fident that much of the other terri
tory controlled by the company may
prove equally as valuable as that
which We were able to inspect.
j We find the biggest, most success
i full companies on earth are here
spending untold millions, and no
body could possibly spend a week
down here without realizing the oil
business is a great industry, and not
gamble when conducted right, as
these big concerns are conducting it
and we feel sure that our company is
going after it. Our company has
acreage over a territory about 800
miles from north to south in and
around the biggest, most powerful oil
companies holdings and we have the
benefit of the law of average, and we
feel that Dur company is being man
aged with rare good skill, and in the
interest of all the stockholders.
Mr.. Woods is one of the hardest
working business men we have ever
met-he frankly told us all that we
wanted to know, and seemed anxious
we should have all the information
We possibly could wish to possess.
We thing our stockholders should
realize that these men are working
to build up great permanent. enter
prise, and that to do so is not the
work of minute, but we are firmly
of the opinion that the profits of the
company within reasonable time,
may far surpass anything that any of
us had hoped for.
We believe in the holdings of the
company and the management and
believe a tremendous success is COM
ing. Mr.. Wood showed us. that the
company owns about ninety thousand
acres in Texas and Oklahoma, con-
sisting of about thirty thousand acres
which the company owns in fee SIM
pie, including the land, as well as the
oil and mineral rights, besides about
sixty thousand acres in oil and gas
leases. We are informed that much Of
this acreage has already shown a
large increase in value, and as devei-
opments progress, and wells are
drilled, either by our own company,
or by the big companies around us,
values will increase at a rapid rate,
while the successful completion of
good well by us, or some other con-
Germ ought to mean enormous profits
for our company.

I. tste-Nst Yet Found in Maine
orone, Me-. Sept. 1.-THE fo,,ev.
ing concerning the Potato wart di..,
ease Was issued today from the ONE
OF Charles D. Woods. director OF the
Maine Agricultural Experiment sta.
uon at the Univeryity Of, Maine:
Tle Maine Agricultural Experi.
ment Station recently issued An an
peal addressed to every grower ana
user or potatoes in Maine asrsng for
assistance in the State search
tnat y pei4g made, through the CO.
operation OF the Federal plant Dis
ease Survey. to determine whether
potato wart has been introduced into
inns state. For certain reasons II. Is
ieH tnat the Possibilities for the in
.roouction OF the disease are greatest
saroens In the vicinity of the
Aiser towns and cities or along the
coast- consequently all growers and
users OF, potatoes from these locali-
Ties were particularly requested to be
on the alert.
"niie there is considerable reason
10 believe that potato wart has not
reached Maine. il it is here the fact
cannot be known too, soon, SO that
adequate measures can be taken to
prevent it's spread to the CONNER
cal potato growing sections. To be
able to say that the disease cannot
be found here. after a careful search
Is matter of no less importance
A similar survey is being made in
other parts Of the United States
with the idea Of locating all infested
areas SO that measures may be taken
to prevent farther spread of the dis
ease. Already this. work is brin.inp
results. Word has just been received
from the Plant Disease Survey that
wart has been found in a miners
garden in the soft coal region nj
Pennsylvania. The previously dis.
covered infested area is located 100
miles from this one. in the hard coal
district. Fortunately both of these
localities are remote from CONNER
cial potato growing sections and
where 1t will be relatively simple
matter to prevent the spread of the
disease.
For some time It has been known
in England for example. that some
varieties of potatoes are much more
resistant to wart than others. Ac.
cording to the Plant Disease Sur
vey, Dr.. Kunkel. one Of the Federal
, Departments potato disease special.

Green Mountains appear to be resis.
tant and the Irish Cobblers appear to
be nearly. If not quite. immune. This
is good news for Maine for these are
the two varieties most commonl,
grown in this State g..
Early Rose. Dibble's Russell Rural
New Yorker and Bliss Triumph are
listed among the varieties that are
quite susceptible to the disease
Hence it is recommended that special
attention be given to garden inspee-
ton where these susceptible strains
or varieties are grown.
The station will gladly examine
and report on all suspected speci-
mems Of potato tubers. A limited
number Of illustrated circulars and
post cards which describe potato
wart are available for distribution to
those who can use them. Address all
communications to the Maine Asri-
