At Scranton, Pittsburgh, Erie and

street intersections, blocking sewers and
causing great inconvenience to pedes-

The snow fall this morning increased

1t seemed to make the ice more slippery
and the cement pavements and streets
doubly so.

An urgent plea to help the foreign =

was made last night by Mayor Moore
in an address before the Christian
Americanization conference in the Arch

at length on the misery of Russia, re-
Sulting, she said, from Bolshevik re-
gimc.
When Mayor Moore was introduced
he defined Americanism as ''the desire
Of high minded and peaceful people
to be free and to be allowed to govern
themselves and to worship God in their
own way
Tells of Their Struggle
The Mayor told of the struggle many
foreigners coming here are having be =
cause of changed living conditions. Many
others, who are growing richer despite
this struggle he said, should take heed
of the situation.
Mr.. Moore said that in the last two
decades the population Of the eastern
section of the country had changed and
half of it is now foreign born.
II wish to emphasize the danger oil

that consists of foreignersa' the Mayor

OIL COMPANIES MERGE

Little Rock, July 12.-The Victory Oil Companies have been merged into a million dollar concern with headquarters in Little Rock Victory No. and Victory No. ? organized in June and July 1919 for the develop ment of two five acre tracts in the midst of the Desdemona field of Texas have been merged into the Victory Oil Production Company, chartered under the laws of Delaware with an author i7ed canital stock of $1,000,000 of which $235 5,000 is all paid. There are 2000 stockholders scattered all over Arkansas and the South. They will send their certificates to the head of flee in Little Rock and certificates in the new corporation will be issued for like amounts and future dividends of the new company will be paid upon the basis of the paid-up capital.
 The officers of the new company are the same as those of the old: John R Frazer, president; Dr. C. c. Gunnells vice president and C. N. Wilhoite, sec etary-treasurer.
 Since the organization. of the origi- nal companies, three dividends have been paid, aggregatirg 40 per cent It is the policy of the new company to pay quarterly dividends. It now has three producing wells, two of which are producing 250 barrels daily each One was producing 100 barrels but this is being drilled to second sand and the experience of other producers ir the neighborhood is that greatly in creased production may be expected These wells have been producing since November P, 1919 and are steady and dependable Based upon the estimat- oc value of production in wells that Lave sen producing so :. period it is estimated in the oil field that they are worth 5000 per barrel day pro duction, which would make the total value of the three wells at the present time S600,000.
 The Victory Oil Production Com pany has no stock for sale at this time. and should it be decided to sell any of the new stock, the proceeds of the sale would be used exclusively fof the development purposes in the pur- chase or lease of new acreage and the drilling of additional wells. The com pany now has splendid monthly in- come and plenty of cash on hand with which to continue operations. A dividend of , per cent was paid this week and at least two more may be expected during the present year. The company owns 300 acres in Ouachita Columbia and Union counties. near wells that are being drilled with every prospect of success. It has in the field an organization of superintendents and geologist who are looking out for it's interests and whose investigatisAs will prove of great value in the devel- opment of the company's business.

EX- SERVICE MEN ARE FILLING
 SMALL FARMS
Veterans Recovered From Wounds
 Making Good as Food Producers

New lork.=A number of modest little farms operated by veterans Of the world war who have recovered from shell shock, gas or wounds, now dot the states of New Jersey, Connec- ticut and New York The owners of these farms, most of them graduates of the New York state school of agri- culture at Farmingdale, L. l., have been "rehabilitated" and are now mak- ing good as food producers with same enthusiasm that took them lover the top" in France.
 The transformation of most of these former soldiers Who selected farming from the subjects offered by the fed e. al board for vocational training in many cases has been q complete meta morphosis of railroad brakemen, plumbers, policemen, mechanics and laborers. One recent graduate of the school was a bartender before the war and today lie owns thoroughly up- to-date place near Toms River, N. J.
 According to 4. A. Johnson. direc- tor of the school, there were 76 feder- al men enrolled in June and a number of these have since graduated. D. rector Johnson was lavish in his praise of what the soldier farmers are ac- complaining, declaring that not only were they doing their full share in the economic program of their country but in good many cases, considerably more than others less handicapped by wounds" He said they were about equally divided as farm tractor me chanics, general farmers. poultry rais- CTS and hog breeders.
 Archie A. Stone, former member of the Minnesota legislature, who is in charge of the work for the govern inent, and has studied the results of tl,e farm vocational training plan, said that 1t is producing results of a definite and permanent character. The students may have both theory and practice at Farmingdale 365 days in the year.
 Michael Leddy,- who lost an aim at Chateau Thierry, is specializing in tractor work and with one hand and a steel hook drives as straight fur row, it is said, as any two-handed farm boy.
 A year ago Charles Kupinski, an other crippled soldier, had never rid den in 8 motor car. Recently, ac- co.ding to Director Johnson, he re- paired cracked cylinder in a heavy farm tractor at a saving of nearly S20 to the school.
 Other soldier graduates of Farming dale who are operating farms are Har ry F. Cruise at Holbrook, L. l.. Edi- son A. Smith, New Canaan, Conn.,; Elmer K. Sturtz. Wellersburg. Pa: Austin A. Sullivan, Ronkonkoma, L. l.; and number of others within 50 miles of New York

Judge Swing in his instructions to
the grand jury made number of pert
inent recommendations.
OF chief interest to the public is the
paragraph which draws the attention
of the grand jury to articles and charges
which have been made against the
county highway commission, which in
the words of Judge Swing amount to
almost common scandal" He says
''if these men are guilty Of any consid-
cradle portions of these charges they
are unfit to hold public Office and if they
are not guilty they Should receive vim
dication at your hands,
Another paragraph refers to vice
and although the judge states that the
jury is not called for the purpose of
making a special vice investigation,
yet it is the duty of all members Of
the grand jury to look into these things
and he suggests that little watching
on the part of individuals can determine
Some of the facts in the vice conditions.
The matter of new courthouse also
received attention and Judge Swing REQ
ommends that this be thoroughly looked
into.
I Salaries of public officials are the
Subject of one section and in this mat
ter Judge Swing recommends that
raises be granted as it is a common
fact that the cost of living has been in
creased. However, in view of the fact
that it will be year until the legis
Nature can grant such increases the
grand jury is given ample time to look
into this question.
One paragraph refers TO the law in
that any county official is not permitted
ito become party to contract selling
the county materials in which he has
private interest The attention OF the
grand jury is drawn to this fact
Another paragraph refers 10 the
amount Of expenditures permitted the
board of supervisors by law.
The instructions go into detail as TO
the methods by which the grand jury
may accomplish results.
They are very complete.
