Field Drilling Continues
Despite Winter Weather.
COMPARATIVE FIGURES
FOR THE WHOLE YEAR

Central Ohio, while looked upon by
the trade as an exclusive gas field
heretofore, has done much more for
oil the past year than for gas.
There were Just as many dry holes as
gas wells, both numbering 243, while
there were 454 oil producing wells.
The oil wells averaged around 80 bar
rels to the we'll, which shows the sup
posed worthless territory quite rich,
being about as good an average as
found in any of the fields OF the coun-
try. where shallow oil is found. The
work for 1919 in the various fields are
herewith given in figures which speak

crime of having, four husbands with
not one of them divorced. She said
she did not know it was wrong to
marry another man, having let go
one or more others. Judging by the
ease with which they left her we
doubt if there is any crime in dis

Confidence of Youth

There are some moments in our lives when,
obsessed by the diseouragements and failures
we have made, we think with bitterness of the
time when we looked forward with eager eyes
and glowing hearts to the opportunities to
demonstrate our ability to carve out great sue
cess for ourselves. We recall almost with con-
tempt the Joy we felt when we first arrived at
the dignity Of filing position and the satisfac-
tion of knowing that we at least stood upon
our own feet and were not dependent upon 9TH
ers. We did not become discouraged because
perhaps we were forced to begin at the foot OF
the ladder, and even when we found the climb
ing hard work and the setbacks we received sur
passed our successes we did not murmur but
pushed upward as far as we could. We thrilled
to the young blood that flowed through our
veins and warned Us into action; we could not
realize our experience and because this was so
we dared heights which later on proved beyond
our reach, and when we achieved a failure in
stead Of success we did not grow discouraged.
There is certain buoyancy Of spirit and elastic
ity of hope in our early years that carry US for
ward over the toughest of roads to approxi-
mately our goal, and it is these qualities that
make life-in-the- making SO happy season for
the majority of persons. 1t is only when fall
ures pile up, and encouragement grows, and
one ambition after another and one hope after
another are denied fulhliment that we begin to
lose that faith that has Kept us alive, not alone
faith in the ultimate achievement OF our hopes,
but also faith in ourselves without which we
cannot expect to do very much.--Charleston

Article x and America.

Efforts of the Bipartisan conference to
reach agreement on the form OF reservations to
Be adopted in connection with the ratification
of the Versailles treaty have come to an i'm
passe, Article X Of the covenant for League
of Nations affording the obstacle. This arti-
Gle, according to the president, is "the heart Of
the covenant" It provides:
The members of the league undertake
respect and preserve as against external ag-
gression the territorial integrity and political
independence Of all members of the league.
In case Of any such aggression or in case Of
any threat or danger of such aggression, the
council shall advise upon the means by which
this obligation shall be fulfilled.
This language has been interpreted to mean
that the council Of the League of Nations is
thus empowered to declare war in the name and
on behalf Of the members of the league. Presi-
dent Wilson says that while it entails no legal
obligation it does morally bind the United
States to be guided by the supreme council in
this matter.
Against this considerable number Of pa
triotic Americans have set up that only the con-
gress >of the United States has the right and
power to declare war in the name Of the peo-
ple and that this power can not be delegated
to another body under the constitution The
form of the Lodge reservation, over which the
controversy now RACES and which was adopted
by substantial majority OF the senate, is:
The United States assumes no obligation
to preserve the territorial integrity or political
independence OF any country or to interfere
in controversies between nations-whether
members of the league or not--under the
provisions Of Article X, or to employ the
military or naval forces of the United States
under any article of the treaty for any pur-
pose, unless in any particular case the con-
gress, which, under the constitution, has the
sole power to declare war or to authorize the
employment of the military or naval forces of
the United States, shall by act or joint reso-
luton SO provide.
Th, plainly means the United States will
not enter war until the congress has acted as
required by the constitution; that we do not
pledge in advance to support any war that may
be declared by the League Of Nations.
The moral obligation is not weakened but
the freedom of the nation from entanglng al
liances is preserved by the reservation. With
out it we can not enter the covenant as now
proposed.
