by drowning in the cistern at her home
near Barbertown last Saturday morn
ing. She was the wife of Edward Van
selous and the daughter of C. A. Butter
foss, of Lambertville She had been in
poor health for several months and this
caused her to become respondent and
probably deranged. Her husband left
her alone on the farm in the morning
and later neighbor came in and found
the cistern trap door open and the body
in the water. Her age was. 40 years.
The funeral was held at the home Wed

looks after such items as the railing
along bridges and roads, the pave
ments, and receives reports of all OBJ
structions or defects.
The duties of the Lamp Committee
are obvious. The street light are
supplied by contract from Lambert
vile, the borough carrying through
this committee the poles, reporting
defective lamps, etc. In this connect
ion it is interesting to know that the
lights cost about $66 a month. Any
defect or request is to be reported to
a member of this committee.
The Poor Committee receives the
information of the poor officer as to
any case of distress, gives orders to
the Constable to see to taking per-
sons to the County Home, and brings
the cost, or expense incurred, to the
Council, receives instructions if neces-
sary and gets orders for bills to be
paid by the Treasurers.
The Borough Property Committee
has charge of anything the borough
owns, such as the Town Hall. 1t
cares for this and maintains its up
keep.
The Fire Committee acts with the
fremen's association in rather a pc
culiar way. It's members are all in
the firemen's association and the pro-
perty and work of the association
cannot in any way be controlled by
the Council. The Fire Department of

sent these claims and to watch over
the safety of the town that the fire
committee is formed of Council mem
bers with their distinctive authority
to report necessities and to arrest on
the spot anyone guilty of suspicious
actions.

enter any dwelling or premises for
inspection and can not be resisted. He
receives complaints and has power to
enforce the abatement of nuisances.

Failure to make such report is heavily

report the termination of the case to
the Health Officer who alone can lift
the quarantine. When the services of
the Health Officer are needed appli-
cation stould be made to the Chair
man of the Board of Health.

The Fidelity Oil Company of New
Jersey, which was recently incorpor-
ated in this state by Jerseymen for
the purpose of drilling for oil in the
States of Texas and Oklahoma, is
growing rapidly and interesting many
of our citizens who would not ordina-
rily invest in an oil enterprise organi-
zed and named by strangers. The
officers and directors of the Fidelity
are the kind of men the careful inves-
tor wishes to see in charge of COM
pany that he puts his money in.
The ever increasing demand for oil
at time when there is a world short
age of this necessary commodity in
sures market for all the oil that
can be produced at rising prices.
Automobiles alone are using millions
of gallons more of gasoline than they
did few years ago, while the govern
ment's requirements have increased
enormously.
At the beginning of the year, there
were serveral thousand wells drilling
in Texas alone, and a number of these
in close proximity to some of the
holdings of the Fidelity have been
coming in with large production.
Word has just been received from
Texas that the Matthews well on the
tract adjoining the Alexander lease
of the Fidelity in Stephens County
is showing oil and number of other
wells are proving that tract to be of
considerable value. Wells are also
being brought in in the Burkburnett
field and in the Desdamona field,
which are proving up the Fidelity
acreage.
A prominent oil operator, realizing
the value of the Fidelity lands and
the practical certainty of striking oil
on the Stephens, Erath and Wichita
tracts, has offered to drill well on
a fifty-ffty basis, which means that
the operator pays all the drilling ex-
penses and gets half of all the oil
found. This proposition is being
favorably considered and will be de-
finitely decided by the committee on
it's arrival in Texas in the near future.
Those who desire to subscribe for
stock in the Fidelity ought to do so
promptly, since it is the purpose of
the Company to advance the price of
the stock as it becomes more valuable.
People cannot expect to wait until
oil is struck and then buy stock at the
price paid by the original investors,
nor can they expect to hold back while
neighboring operations prove up and
make valuable the Fidelity holdings,
which are acquired with the funds
supplied by others.
Liberty Bonds are accepted at par,
because the Company realizes that
they will ultimately be paid in full
and that many patriotic citizens who
bought them do not care to sacrifice
them at the present market prices in
