South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1920-09-27

Workers, men and women, those employed in
factories and mills as well as those in offices and
stores throughout South Bend as well as the rest
of the country appear to be following their deter
mination to aid the nation In settling it's econom
ical problem by producing to their fullest capa-
city And it is safe to say that there is who
will deny that their efforts having The desired
effect.
The past few months have been agreeably free
from labor disturbances and rumors of them. Of
course, there have been few strikes, but these
isolated instances do not appear to have married
the general prosperity trend of the nation.
The presidential campaign through which the
nation is now going does not seem to be exerting
any marked influence in either the business in
dustrial world. Neither the worker nor the en-
ployer appears to be unduly exercised over the
flood of warnings sent out by this one and that
as to what will happen to the country if that one
or this one is not elected in November
On the whole, the business and industrial world
appear to be more nearly normal today than they
have at any time since the world war came to a
close. Men and women everywhere engaged
in manufacturing munitions of peace-commodi-
ties the use of which make life worth living, and
they are manufacturing them In such quantities
that their abundance is bringing prices down to a
normal level

Further Reductions the Price of Commodities Go More
Concusively to Prove That Production Efforts
Bring Desired Results

Word again reaches South Bend through the
news dispatches from the country at large that
there has been another marked decline in the
price OF commodities. The dispatches reaching
here this week also carry the promise of further
price decline.
This news, coupled with the assurance that
there is to be continued employment for employed
men and women throughout the winter months,
is encouraging to everyone. Factories of the ma
ton are reported to be in healthful condition,
working at capacity and producing needed COM
modities.
The news that Henry Ford has reduced the
price of his is welcome news, not so much be-
cause the price of Ford cars is to be lower but
owing to the general effect Ford's announcement
will have on other manufactured products regard
ing their cost to the consumer.
General predictions by financial heads in
various parts of the country that the announce
ment by the Detroit automobile manufacturer
will have tendency to reduce the cost of many
other manufactured articles were carried in news
dispatches during the week.
The further announcement that crops generally
are good Is also encouraging, and it now appears
that the country is rapidly approaching normal
level. There has been no decrease in wage scale
and continuance of present nationwide pros

The Homer field, during these six
teen days, had an average of 1888
barrels of new production daily, or
the twenty wells show an average in
itial production of 9OO.S barrels of oil
daily per well.
During the same period, the Bull
Bayou field, Red River parish, has
an average of 979.8 barrels of new
production daily, and each well has an
average initial production of 1874
barrels of oildaily.
The, Caddo field has a daily average
of twenty-nine barrels in new produc-
ton during this period, with each
of the wells averaging ninety-three
barrels of oil daily This field made
the above record in spite of the fact
that there are very few drilling oper-
ations going on in this territory,
which had settled down to what we
thought to be "stableq production"
several years ago.

pendent producers in the Homer, Bull
Bayou and Caddo oil fields are willing
to share the burden of state taxation

Mr.. Keen stands firmly behind the
representatives of the industry who
met April 8 at New Orleans with

operators of the state should be let

share the burden with them but we
do not feel that we are called upon
to bear the heaviest load.
cat present the tax is three-fourths
of a cent per barrel, At the rate OF
one per cent, that which we have
agreed to, the tax would be three cents
per barrel. The present output of on
is about $4,000 barrels daily.
Suppose for example that the
yearly output was but $4,000 barrels
daily. That would give the state ap-
proximately half million dollars. Al
the present rate of production, the
annual revenue from oil would be ap
proximately million dollars. We be

more, the salt, sulphur and timber in

Don't be afraid that your efforts

Be a producer. Cooperate with
those about you in making this a
year of great production. A little
more earnestness little more care

you to speed up and increase the re-
suits Of your labors to such an extent
that YOU will find success nearer to
you at the end of the year than it has
ever been before.
