STANDARD OIL PRESIDENT PREDICTS OIL SHORTAGE
 

Walter c. Teagle, President of the
 Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
 predicts that great problem will have to be met in this country as re- gards making the oil supply meet the demand. Here is part of long state ment issued by MT. Teagle:
 New uses are continually beinp found for petroleum products. We know that the percentages of growth of the oil industry during the past thirty years has averaged s.54 per cent per annum. This may not seem a large figure by itself, but when one applies it to the quantities being con- sumed today, one realizes that it does not require a sts.istician to appreciate he magnitude of the problem of sup ply Tor the fufure. During the past ,ear the United States has produce, title over 100000 barrels a day of 1 rude petroleum, a total of 376, ,OOO ,OO0 ] 'arrels, according to the Governments 1 rellminary figures. In addition to | his there has been imported from lexico about 6O,0OO,OOO barrels.

TEXAS OIL IN 1919
 AT 96,QQQ,QQQ BBLS.

A preliminary estimate of oil pro- duction in Texas for 1919 places it at 96,000,000 barrels. In 1918 the state produced 3S,750,O31 barrels. The estimate, which exceeds expectations, is based on actual pipe line runs from the various fields for Il months and part of December. --.
 The increase of approximately ST. 100000 barrels, or 146 per cent, is largely accounted for by the .Burk- burnett and Ranger fields of the northern light oil territory. Burk- burnett production is placed at 2S,- S42,000 barrels, against 11,527,034 barrels in 1918, and Ranger output at 22,6S5,00O barrels, compared with 3,784,434 barrels in 1918. ,.,... If oil production measures up to the estimate of 96,000,O00 barrels, Texas will rank third in the list of oil-producing states of the country, only exceeded by Oklahoma and Cal ifornia, which each produce in the neighborhood of 10O,OOO,OO0 barrels annually.

ALL NATIONAL" HOLIDAYS
 THIS YEAR ON SUNDAY

One of the strange calendar CO., incidents of the good year 1920 is that all national" holidays and many important holidays, fall on Sunday, so that they will in effect be double holidays. Washington's birthday, February 22, comes on Sunday, Easter of course does, the Fourth of July follows Saturday, the 3rd, Dec oration day, the 3Oth of May, also comes on Sunday; Christmas will come on a Saturday, so that the double holiday will still hold good. There has been some discussion as to the term national holiday" no holiday has been the subject of national leg islation, but only of state and terri torial legislation, which makes them legal holidays. There are different legal holidays in different states, such as Lees birthday in Louisiana. New Years day is legal holiday in all but three states.

FOR EX=SERVlCE MEN
.FRFNCHMEN ASK FOR
 . RETALIATION WITH LEGION

Over in France there's an organi- zation of veterans known as Les Cam arades de Combat, says. The Stars and Stripes, Washington, D. c.
 They have organized and elected a president, one F. o. de Senechal, by name.
 And he, in turn has written to our own American Legion, asking for af- filiation.
 Here's his letter:
 q have been hoping for the last three or four weeks to hear from our honorary president, Marshall Foch, as to whether he is going over to the United States or not. I saw him yes- terday morning, but so far he does not seem to have taken any decision in the matter, owing to the heavy dut- ies he has to perform here at present.
 "It seems to me, however, that your association and ours might come into close touch, whatever decision might be taken by Marshal Foch about his journey. We might get affiliated to- gether; that is to say, that we would extend the privileges of our members to those of your members who might happen to be in France, and you would reciprocate in New York. Moreover, for any big national ceremony, we could cooperate and also work in com mon agreement on any big inter-allied question:"

THIS VET DIDN'T FORGET HIS WIFE;
 SHE FORGOT HIM

Elkton, Md.-Several instances have been received in which returned serv- ice men suffering from shell shock forgot they had wives, but the first in stance where wife forgot she had a husband came to light here last week. Myrtle E. Grube, of Lancaster, Pa., was informed by States Attorney Joshua E. Clayton that she is the wife of Isaac Charles Irwin, of Chadds Ford, Pa.
 Rapid-Fire Stuff.
 The couple visited Elkton, Md, May 29, 1917, and were granted a marriage license in the county courthouse. The same day they were married by Rev. John McElmoyle at the Presbyterian manse.
 Shortly after returning to his home Irwin was called to service with the Army. A few months ago he was dis charged and returned to Lancaster to claim his bride. He located his wife, but.found her using her maiden name. She denied having married him or re- membering that she had made a trip with him to the Maryland town.
 She Asks for Record.
 He continued, in later visits, to per sist that she was his wife and re- quested her to go with him to his home to live. It was then she wrote to the Elkton authorities asking for a record of her marriage. In the letter she said that if Irwin's allegations are true she will gladly take up the duties as "wife, companion and help mate to Charles Irwin"

GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE PER-
 MANENT THING

Director R. G. Cholmeley-Jones of
 the Bureau of War Risk Insurance an-
 nounced today that misleading and in
 correct statements relative to the per
 manency of Government Insurance are
 being circulated by individuals appar-
 ently, engaged in attempted twisting"
 of insurance. A specific and typical
 report received by the Director was
 to the effect that some of these in
 dividuals had boarded a naval vessel
 at Philadelphia and had told the sail
 ors that Government Insurance would
 not be good after five years.
 Government Life Insurance for
 veterans of the great war is a per manent proposition" said Director Cholmeley-Jones. Misleading state ments have been made to the effect that Government Insurance will cease at the end of five years after the war, or that it will be turned over to prl- vate companies. Such statements are absolutely false and without founds- tion. There is, however, a require ment that the temporary term insur- ance held during the war which in- creased in cost from year to year, be changed or converted into one of the six permanent forms of Government Life insurance, Ordinary life, 20-pay- ment life, 30-payment life, 2O-year en- dowment, 30-year endowment, or en- dowment at age 62) within five years after the formal declaration of peace by proclamation of the President, if the insured desires to continue to be protected. This permanent insurance does not increase in premium cost as the insured grows older.
 Improper conduct by the indivi- duals l have referred to is in direct opposition to the attitude of the great life insurance companies, which is em- braced in a statement by the secretary of one of the large companies, who re- gently said: ..,., l
 "Of course, a life insurance com pany can not grant insurance at less than cost, but the Government offers insurance to soldiers and sailors at less than it would cost the Govern ment to grant that insurance (that is because the Government bears all ex. ! oenses of management, ec.). The government is justified in this liber- .iity in consideration of the fact that hese soldiers and sailors have risked l, heir lives, or have been willing to lsk their lives, for. the benefit of the ' .ation. All this being so, it is ob- lously expedient for soldiers and sail !, fs to take all the insurance offered !. V the Government at the low rate " larged." -
 me company whose secretarv ade the above statement has in- ructed all its agents to refuse to ke applications from soldiers and liors until they have taken the fuII lount of the new Government Insur- ce to which they are entitled"

Benevides, Texas, Jan. 8.
 The people of Benevides believe that the Becker No. 1 is in the big pay sand. So certain are they that a great new field will be opened up that they are buying up acreage and town lots at fancy prices. Today there is very little acreage for sale in this immediate section. One real estate dealer reported the sale of ten town lots at $30OO, which is pretty stiff price Benevides real estate. The lit- tie town is rapidly being put on the oil map.
 According to information obtained from lease uien, acreage in the vicin- ity of the well Continues to advance in price and much buying is going on involving tracts st considerable distance from the we'll in every direc- ton. Prices as high as $200.00 per acre are being asked, with very little trading even at that price.

I'm my opinion there will be harmony"
Peace, admittedly would expedite

ASTRONOMY EASY
BY PHOTOGRAPHY
U. of P. Professor Says Dis.
covery Of New Stars Is No
Longer Surprising
HARVARD FINDS SMALL ONE

"The discovery of new stars is no
longer a surprise since photography has
played such an important part in as
economical study says DR.. Eric Doc
little, director of the Flower observa-
tory of the University of Pennsylvania
in commenting on the new star discov-
cred by Miss Johanna c. s. Mackie. of
the Harvard College observatory staff.
Its position is right ascension Is
hours 40 minutes 30 seconds. declination
plus 90 degrees 6.3 minutes $4,000.
Miss Cannon has studied the spectrum
Of the new star and finds it to be char
acteristic of nova in its early stages.
Between December 4 aud 6 it increased
RAPIDLY in brightness from the sixteenth
magnitude, or fainter. to maximum
of about 6.5. Since that time it has
undergone marked fluctuations. and its
present magnitude is only about S.5.
The Pennsylvania observatory, ac-
cording to Doctor Doolttle, will prob
ably not make any study of the star
because it has no spectroscope and its
telescopes are not large enough to study
so small a star.
The discovery just made is the thirty
fifth of its kind in the history of astron :
omy and the nineteenth to the credit OF
the Harvard College observatory. Ii
the 400 years preceding 1886 only nine
new stars were detected. In the inter
val between 1886 and Miss Mackie's
discovery twenty five have been located
eighteen of them by the Harvard staff.
