FACTS
From Editorial in the
Gazette Times, January 20, 1871
CHANCES OF STRIKING OIL

The big producers are being found
by drillers in the Southwestern heids
of the United States but there Is
more certainty of striking OH In
Pennsylvania, where the product COM
rnands the highest price and the
wells last long. The country over,
the driller's chances are approxlma-
teiy four to one in favor of getting
oil: in Pennsylvania he has approx
mately nine chances of success to one
of failure. This we learn from the
Oil City Derriick's report OF drilling
operations during 1919
In the United States as whole
% ,462 wells. were completed, of
which 1851 we're dry or non product
i've; in Pennsylvania the compilations
totaled SITS, of which only 573 brot
total disappointment to the owners.
The chief reason for the discrepancy
is apparent. In the newer fields
there is genuine validating; the oil
bearing acres of Pennsylvania are
we'll defined But the risk one runs
in drilling an oil well is not wholly
exposed by the figures quoted. 1t is
not precise to say that there is to
l chance of success in Pennsylvania,
for if one fails his loss is virtually
total as to that well. And so 1t is
wherever one drills.But if one gets
oil he may at present prices, have
the equivalent of fortune in a COM
paratively small producer. 1t is an
alluring hazard That is what, the an
precedented prices offered for crude
are intended to make. Apparently
they are proving effective, but the
now production is not sufficient to bal
ance the demand, which is growing
at prodigious rate. Therefore still
higher prices may be expected. The
prospective reward must balance the
risk that is taken in any form of
gambling, and drilling for oil, wher-
ever it is undertaken is gamble.
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1920-05-20
INCREASED PRODUCTION

Figures published in recent mem
orandum of the Supreme Council of
the Peace Conference show that gen
.eral wholesale prices have advanced
since 1913 approximately as follows:
United States -. 120 per cent
Great Britain ..... ITO per cent
France ..... 300 per cent
Italy ....... 800 per cent
Belgium ...... 800 fer cent
Retail prices undoubtedly have adj
vanced to an equal or greater extent
in this country according to the mem
orandum. In publishing these figures
the Supreme Council pleads for in
creased production, economy and saw
ing as remedies for the situation, and
as safefuard against still higher
price levels.

Periodic Bilious Attacks

Persons subject to bilious attacks
at regular intervals know about when
to. expect an attack. They find that
they have no desire for food when an
attack is due but usually eat because
it is meal time. Skip one meal and
take three of Chamberlain's Tablets
and you may be able to avoid the at
tack. Persons subject to periodic
attacks should not drink tea or
coffee at any time.
