WOuld Curtai1 Oil Production.

Efforts are being made to have the
active drilling campaign being carried
on In the Midcontinent field modified tc
a large extent to bring about something
like n more reasonable ratio between
production and consumption. One story
was to the effect that an official of the
Midcontinent Association was In towr
endeavoring to persuade some Of the
bigger producers with headquarters here
that 1t would be to the advantage OF
everybody concerned II a smaller pro-
duction schedule were maintained for
the time being. A member OF the asso-
ctation's executive committee. however
declared that the matter had not been
up for formal discussion In any way. A
great many producers, particularly
among smaller compa MES. favor curtail-
ing production until consumption shall
be nearer production. The latest cuts
in Midcontinent crude, it was said. made
1t almost imperative that something be
done soon.

Railway Common Labor.

The action of the leaders of the
Brotherhood Of Maintenance of Way and
Railroad Shop Laborers in ordering a
referendum on the acceptance or rejec-
tion of wage cuts created no alarm
among railway operators here. The un-
skilled laborers were the only class OF
employees which, under the boards or
der. will lose the wage increase granted
In the award of July 20. 1920 II the
membership of 253,000 in the brother
hood should strike. railway men declare
that their places could be filled overnight
from the large existing surplus of COM
mon labor. No action will be taken on
the lesser decreases prescribed for the

EstD bItshing Tax Losses.

Although 1t Is many months before
the 1921 income tax statements will be
made up. several brokerage houses re-
ported yesterday considerable selling of
stocks for establishing losses. The
theory on which that action was taken
was that the trend would be upward for
considerable time at least. and that. the
lows of the last day or two were about
the lowest marks that many stocks
would sec this year. For that reason
several traders took advantage OF the
situation to establish losses which they
wish to show at the end of the year to
mark off good bit of the taxes which
otherwise they would have to pay the
Government.

Aunt in Cache Twenty
five Years Aqo.

LOCK HAVEN. Pa. March 10
When Mrs. Minerva Miller, who lives
with her son. Clyde v. Mauck. of Mill
Hall. ripped open the old tick with
the intention of burning the feathers.
she found cloth-covered package
from which = number OF greenbacks
stuck out, while q few had become
loosened and were in the feathers. On
removing and carefully opening the
package II was found to be COM
posed entirely OF money, the bills
ranging in denomination from 81 to
package were soiled and destroyed
to such an extent that IL was diff
cult to ascertain their value. but II
was estimated the hnd will amount to
from $1,000 to s1.s00
The feather tick was given to Mrs.
Miller by an aunt living at Millheim,
Center county, who died twenty-five
years ago. This aunt was known to
possess money. which she would not
deposit in banks, but kept about the
house. When she died diligent search
was made for the money, but it
never was found and the discovery
yesterday reveals the hiding place OF
at least a portion of the woman s
savings, quarter of a century after
her death.
When she gave the tick to her
daughter she made no intimation of
the presence of the package OF
money secreted in the feathers and
Mrs Miller did not have the re-
motest idea OF the value OF the tick
on which she had been sleeping night
