Coastal Wells
Hold Record In
Texas For 1919

Houston, Texas. Jan. 1.-THE fact
that the coastal oil fields OF Texas
produced an average OF 10000 barrels
OF oil per day during 1919 places II in
a class by itself, as no other oil fields
In the country can boast Of such a
record
This record was maintained in the
face OF a hurricane that practically
wiped out Goose Creek and stopped
development in that pool for about
two months.
Reason for High Average.
The reason Of this high average is
that the wells come in larger and hold
a high rate Of production longer than
in other Texas fields. One Of the
latest competitions was a 7QoO-barrel
well in West Columbia
The coastal field is being extended
to the west and southwest. and the
entire coastal country is getting a
good play but Jackson county. which
lies Just west Of West Columbia,
seems 10 lead the way.
Many New Tests.
There are many tests now drilling
in this county. and locations have
been, made for six additional tests
around Edna, the sOuntyseats material
is being moved in on these locations
Without exception. the reputable
biologists have approved Jackson

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Much of the talk about price
reduction is merely mental
fumbling round for some excuse
to postpone the reduction. There
are no two ways about it: the
way TO reduce prices is TO reduce
them; and the ones to begin the
reduction are the ones who began
the increase. Leaders must lead
the procession both ways, going
up as well as coming down, or
their leadership may be called in
question. From purely human
point of view, the burden of any
period Of change ought to be
borne by those most able TO bear
it. Losses always follow wrong
economic conditions. just as gains
accrue during wrong economic
conditions; those must endure the
one who have enjoyed the other.
And it is not loss at that; ii is
wise invcstment.-Henry Ford.

There is less obligation regarding
