ELECTRICAL DEVICE Is
NEWEST OWNING ROD

Electrical instruments OF sufficient
sensitiveness can be used to detect
the presence of oil-bearing regions
when the oil Is not far from the sur
face. In this case the usual current
transmitted through the earth is
measurably stopped by the insulation
afforded by the oil, and the Interrupt
tion to the flow OF the current from
metalliferous regions serves thus to
Indicate the intervening layers OF oily
material or oil as an insulating med
ium.
But some OF the greatest reservoirs

but it can be used satisfactorily
where the oil is near the esrth's

ELECTRIC SCREW DRIVER
WONDERFUL Time SAVER

The new electric screwdriver, re.
Gently placed on the market, has
proven wonderful time and labor
saver. especially 10 the man In the
shop, who must drive a great many
screws in a day. No more twisting
and turning and struggling with the
hand screwdriver, which often slips
out OF the groove, causing him to lose
a great deal az valuable time. which
he can now make use OF.
The motive power is supplied by a
small motor of one-half horsepower
or less, which may be suspended from
the ceiling or fastened to the top
plate OF a metal stand resting on
casters. The motor may be connected
by plug and cord with any conyen-
iently located electric light socket A
flexible shaft connects the motor
with the screwdriving tool.
The edge of the screwdriver Is
placed in the slot OF the screw, one
hand of the workman holding the
handle, the other steadying 1t by
graSping the ratchet handle.
When the handle is pressed down
against the head OF the screw, the
screwdriyer engages a friction clutch
at the end OF the flexible driving
shaft and revolves rapidly, driving in

new ELECTRIC CODE
SYSTEM IS INTRODUCED

A remarkably simple code-calIing
system is now being installed in
banks, offices, stores, warehouses, and
factories. 1t is composed OF audible
signals distributed throughout the
office and plant and controlled by a
transmitter under the telephone op-
orators supervision.
When a certain man is wanted and
the operator finds him out of his Of
fce, she doesn't have to guess where
he might be and call office after Of
flee until she finally locates him, but
she simply reaches over and presses
the key or keys that correspond to
his code number. simultaneously
through every part of the office and
factory his code number is sounded,
and the code call in each room Is lust
loud enough to be heard-not loud
enough to be disturbing. Instantly,
automatically, and without disturb
ance the man is located wherever he
may be, and if he is not in the plant
or factory that fact is settled with
out waste Of time.
Such a code system works with cur
rent from the lighting system. Any
electrical contractor can install it,
Wires are strung like lighting wires
from signal to signal, and the cur
rent costs only few cents a month.

The petroleum situation as given
by the Geological Survey offers little
comfort to the gasoline user. In 1918
the survey reports the production OF
petroleum as 377,7l9,O0O barrels; the
Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic
Commerce reports the import OF b2.-
746,667 barrels, making a total OF 430.-
465.667 barrels, or a daily average OF
S1,l79.35s barrels. which combined
with the daily capacity OF the re-
fineries operating at the end OF De-
cember, 1919, indicates a surplus ca
pacity OF l77.OO7 barrels daily over
the production and importation OF
cride oil in 1919.

nneries as shown by the census OF

BID Against Each Other.
This condition puts the refineries
to bidding against one another for
crude oil to keep their pants going.
The ultimate consumer will pay the
shot when he drives up to the silent
sentinel in front Of the gasoline sta
ton.
So far. whenever the supply OF pc
troleum has begged down, a new oil
field has been found to make up the
supply. but Mr.. Manning declared that
the public can not depend on new
domestic sources inrefinitely. The
Geological Survey estimates that the
store OF fuel oil under American soil
will last about twenty years at pres
ent rate. There are immense stores
OF shale oil. but there is no immedh
ate prospect of it's being extracted on
a practicable basis.

THE COPPER MOVEMENT

The brisk movement of the copper
that closed 1919 and opened the new
year with such a flourish suffered a
severe contraction in the second half
of January.
In that period total sales amounted
to 100000 900 pounds made by the four
big agencies and the Copper Export
Association.
In the first half of January these
same factors sold 100000, 900 pounds
of copper for foreign and domestic
consumption making a total for the
first 20 days Of January of 10000, 900
pounds.
Including January figures at hand,
it is estimated total sales Of copper
since the inception of the buying
movement early in November amount
to 100000, 900 pounds.
This is not only the biggest busi-
ness for three-month period in the
history of the industry, but it is all
the more important considering the
fact that 100000, 900 pounds went to
domestic consumers and about 200,-
100000 pounds to Europe through the
Copper Export Association.
Of the total sales on this movement,
it is estimated the American Smelling
& Refining. Co., selling primarily the
product Of the four porphyries-Utah,
Chino, Ray and Nevada Consolidated
sold about 350.0O0,000 pounds.

CORN IN MONTANA

Montana had approximately 100,-
900 acres of corn in 1919. State Col
lege extension specialists predict an
acreage close to 100000 for 1920.
Seed corn for Montana planting
should be selected early, and on the
cob. There is plenty Of seed corn in
Montana if it be not fed up.
A poorer grade of Montana seed
corn is better than seed shipped in
from other states and which is not
adapted to Montana conditions.
Corn is the nearest failure proof
of the Montana crops. Hay shortage
is not serious where corn is raised for
forage.
Corn is not we'll adapted to the
higher valleys of the state.
The corn shown at the state corn
show at Miles City last month was
the best quality ever shown in Mon
tana.
Be sure that you test your seed
! corn during the winter.
Corn produces from two to three
tons of fodder per acre and is equiv
alent to timothy in feed value.
