FORTUNES WASTED IN OIL STOCK
Many Companies Have Failed, While
in Others There Has been Great
Shrinkage i'm Values.

1t Is apparent that extensive losses
have been and are being sustained by
the people of Woming through absolute
failure of many oil promotion compa-
mics and through s%hrinkage in the
value of securities of other companies
still alive" said Leslie A. Miller, inter-
nal revenue collector for Wyoming and
one of the principal stockholders of
the Kinney Oil and Refining
in an interview recently ''Shrinkage
value in securities of companies in the
latter class is due to several reasons,

an American steamer, just outside of

Get BLsY!

Real development lies in arouslng
the potential worth that has been ly-
ing dormant in your character. The
first step is in starting something that
will challenge the whole being to ac-
tivity. Many Il man does not feel
equal to the tasks of the day. But
circumstances are such that he has to
make the start. The first few strokes
of the pencil may not mean much. but
the fact that he starts something
rouse him to keener thinking, and
before long he may be doing his best
work. And each idea begets another
until the fellow is aroused to full ca
pacity. Yes, and there are occasions
when the very stress of necessity
makes n man rise to the superman
that lies within each of Gods crea-
lures waiting the challenge worthy
of it.-Grit.

This Old Earth.

In a recent lecture Sir Oliver Lodge,
the eminent English scientist who is
now visiting America, announced that
the earth would probably continue to
exist for 20,000,00O years more. These
are, of course, round numbers. Some
scientists estimate that the earth will
live for ten times this age. There have
been animals of one kind and another
on This planet for fully This length of
time. The dinosaurs are believed to
have lived through some such period.
The age Of man, which is probably only
a few thousand years, seems the mer-
est trine by comparison. When we
consider how man has developed dur
ing recorded history, which is less than
ten thousand years, we may hope that
he will evolve to an infinitely finer type
in the future.-BoySi Life.

VILLAGE OVERRUN BY DOGS
Housewives of Silver Lake, New York,
Had to Guard Kitchens From the
Hungry Animals.

The hamlet of Silver Lake. on the
outskirts of White Plains, n. Y. is al.
"het' up because of the large number
of dogs that have migrated to that
section. according to the New York
Evening Sun. In the daytime they for
Z through the own and at night
they make sleep impossible by their
bowling.
Silver Lake has a population of
about 500 persons, and it is said that
there are 141 dogs, one lap poodle and
half a dozen hounds by actual count.
A staid old resident says that there
is every kind of a dog imaginable in
Silver Lake-small ones, big ones,
short ones. long ones, dogs with no
tail and one eye. lean ones and fat
ones, but mostly lea ones.
This great influx of dogs to Silver
Lake has created many nuisances. In
fact. the housewives don't dare leave
their kitchen door unlocked or half a
dozen hungry nuts will be roaming
around trying to find something to eat.
The story is told of how one woman
Ike a raisin pie for supper for her
husband. She left it on the kitchen
table to cool while she went about her
household duties. A little later she
heard a great cOmmotion. and when
she went to the kitchen she found half
a dozen hungry CANNES, big and little,
fighting for the last raisin of her pie.
h struck them with a broom, but
that did not do any good, because they
had her pie.

LOOK TO FUTURE OF FOREST
Experts Point Out Folly Of Practices
Which Prevent the Reproduction
of the Trees.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
That young growth in the woods.
known popularity as "bruSh," is
thing to he rid of. is a prevalent but
mistaken conception since a forest
cannot maintain itself long without re-
production. For the sake of getting a
scattering of green grass in the spring
1t Is the short-sighted practice In hun-
dreds of localities to fire the woods
regularly. This results in killing thou
sands of small trees needed to con
tinue the forest in the future. and also
Injuries a large amount of marketable
timber. Furthermore. such burning de-
stroys n large amount of rich vegetable
fertilizer.
Cattle and hogs in hardwood stands,
and hogs in long-leaf pines. keep the
forest from being reStocked. Damage
from insects can he reduced by cutting
timber mt the proper time of year and
by utilizing li~ghtning-killed trees with
out delay, since they harbor destruc-
tive pests. Cattle destroy the prOduc-
tive leaf mulch which keep the trees
growing during long. dry spells. All
large openings where light comes
through into the forest should be filled
with younger trees.

Keeping Warm With Games.

Games were never so popular as
now in country houses, and the rea-
son is not far to seek. Living looms
are not heated as they were in the
good old times, and guests, young and
old, vote for games because they are
warming. There isn't a better game
of ball than "%ives.' known in the days
of Queen Elizabeth and declared by
her to be "the best sport she had ever
seen."-The Gentlewoman.

Coal in Mexico.

The only state in Mexico producing
coal is Coahuila. Normal production
is about 100000 tons a year, but at
present only about half that quantity
is obtained and none is exported. The
shortage is supplied from the United
States. Coal is not needed for heating
purposes and charcoal is used for
cooking.

DISASTROUS YEAR FOR

Hamburg. Dec. 26.-(By the A. P.)- Germany's foreign trade relations, which in 1919 gave some promise of gradual and substantial improvement, suffered disastrousIy during 1920, the Hamburg chamber of commerce says in iis annual report which is to be published tomorrow. Without revision of the Versailles treaty. the report considers it will be impossible for Germany to arrive at her normal economic and political sondltion.
 ''There are some signs of the beginning of better state of coalitions in the ap- parent increased inclinati ton to work and the desire for better productive results" adds the report There is a further movement toward improvement of Ger many Economical conditions in the ov- restocking of foreign markets with food and rawstuffs.
 The report advises against acceptance of foreign credits by the Germans unless the sttpul&tions for paying back ths loans are clearly prepared"
 It is believed by She chamber of com nierce that the United States is in remark able position for the development of its world trade and 1t thinks that the Ham burg-Amerioan line-Harrinan. shipping arrangement has placed Germany in a position to secure some of the expandins susiness.
