EMBRACES GROWING
PRODUCTION WHICH
IS WELL-P ROVE \

Carter county people have a right
today to rejoice in the Developments
that have been made in the Hewitt
field.
When the discovery Well came in
there was much fear expressed. Some
OF the producers who examined the
sands stated that they were just like
the Simpson sand in the southeast
extension to Healdton, and expressed
the opinion that the producing sands
would cover small area, because
The Simpson sand at Hcaldton cover
ed only small portion Of that field
There was another cause that re
suited in creating fear among the
investors. and that fear was found
in the fact that n large number of
gculOgists and others who make for
nations a study felt that the Hewitt
field would cover 4 very small area.
/ frhis opinion was expressed by scores
1 Of people and resulted in keeping the
timd investors out Of the field
But the results have not justified
the early opinions held by these peo-
pie. The producing area is now more
than a mile east ana west, it is more
than a mile north and south, and it
is more than q mile and a half from
northwest to southeast.
The proven area now covers 500
acres OF land. II will require a
steady drilling campaign of two years
10 develop the acreage that is proven
at this time, ana still the limits Of
the field are unknown.
The field has been defined only on
the south and nov far production
will go east. northeast, north, north
west and west has not been determ.
ined and it is believed now that Hew.
1T will be u greater field than Head
ton.
At this time there is production
either in the following sections OF
cffsetting them:
Sections 10, 16, q, p, 20. q and
SS
This VIII give the field seven sec
sions. of $40 acres each, should pro
duction reach to all of each section,
Such result is not expected as an
oil field zig Gags something like the
bed Of river and in the Healdton
field only one entire section produces
oil
Every other section in that vast
field, t2 miles in length, has some
! dry places. Section 4, in Healdton
Mas no dry area and it looks now
Ike at least section % in the Hewitt
field will be underlaid by solid sands
There is production now in every
quarter section and no failures have
been found.

in crude oil prices since the first Of
this year amount TO from 90 TO so
per cent, earnings for 1920 are likely
to be considerably higher. So prof
table have been the operations Of the
oil companies during a period of years
that they have been able to accumu-
late enormous surpluses, and many
stock dividends are said TO be in con
temptation.
The fact that the production of pc
troleum Is far below the requirements
should not be made the basis for rails.
ing prices to the extent of "all the
trade Will stand" The great profits
accruing from oil field operations have
encouraged increased development Of
oil territory and searching for new
fields. Hope is entertained that these
efforts will be productive Of good re-
suits. but it is likely to be some time
before the volume of production will
/ fully meet the increased demand

Gnsnline PricrS AdNanCp

Another two cents a gallon has been
added to the price of gasoline by va
rious companies in the United States.
What is even more unwelcome than
this fact is the news that the price
may go much higher still. 1t may
seem strange TO many consumers, par.
ticularly automobile owners. that gaso.
line prices should advance at time
of the year when motoring has been
extremely light and the use Of gaso-
line comparatively small. Yet the so
called law Of supply and demand,
which is supposed to regulate prices,
is said by producers and refiners Of
oil to be the actual cause of ascend
ing prices II is asserted that the cost
of gasoline is necessarily based on the
cost Of crude oil. and inasmuch as the
cost of crude oil has recently made
rapid upward strides, it follows that
gasoline also must sell higher.
In view of the enormous earnings
of the oil companies, some argument
is necessary in order to convince the
ordinary individual of the necessity
for advancing prices. Pennsylvania
| crude oil Is now quoted at $G1O a
barrel, while in 1915 it was sold ut
$1.35 a barrel showing a price in
crease amounting to $50 per cent. In
the same period of time Kansas-Okla-
homa oil underwent an increase in
price Of 40 per cent, and Gulf Coast
grade of $40 per cent. These mount
/ ing prices We're ascribed by oil inter
ests to a shortage Of supply. In
| 1919 the United States consumed 4lS,
Z 100000 barrels OF crude oil, whereas
/ it produced only 376,O00,000. The de
! ficit was made up by importing large
amounts from Mexico. Another cause
Of advancing costs was given as being
/ the greater distance OF new oil fields
from the refining and consuming cen
| ters. New pipe lines We're made nee
essary for the transportation of oil
from the new fields. Increasing costs
were attributed in part also to the
fact that the depth of drilling was
increasing. 1t seems certain however
that the soaring prices of crude oil are
out Of all proportion to the increased
expenses. This apparent fact is at
tested by the tremendous profits which
the companies are making. The earn
ings Of the various leading companies
for last year range from $50 TO $lOl
or more a share, and, as the advance,

Marion Schools Plan
Wide Scope of Work
snecinI to -The Times

MARION, Ind, July 21.-Plans for the
development in Marion of an educational
plant more extensive than any in the
state Of Indiana have been announced by
A. E. Highley, superintendent of city
schools.
Fifteen acres in the heart of the South
Marion residential distric5 have been
purchased by the board of education for
school building to house GOO pupils and
for the establishment of fve-acre ath-
letic field.
Five acres will remain for experiment
tai agricultural work.
The building itself will be erected this
fall at a cost of approximately $lSOOOO.
There will be instruction in all the
lower public school grades in addition TO
junior high school department with all
standard vocational subjects.
A large assembly hall with a capacity
of $50 persons Is to be used as com
munity meeting place.
Tentative plans for the new educa-
tional plant have been approved by
Prof A Jones, dean of the department
of education of Marion college, who has
characterized the project as outlined by
the school board as the most complete
and modern institution of its kind in the
state"
