OF MINES
REPORT ON HEWITT
NOW ON PRESS

The United States Bureau Of Mines
report on the Hewitt field has been
and Is now in the hands Of
local printers. It is expected that the
printed copies of the report will be
ready for distribution TO all persons
desiring it within the next few days.
The Ardmore Chamber vf Commerce
will have charge OF the publication and
distribution of the reports. The cost
Of the printing, etc, will reach be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. To defray
this expense, states James Barron.
secretary of the local Chamber Of
Commerce, there will be a charge Of
100 for the printed reports. This is
very reasonable, considering the fact
that the report besides containing a
complete investigation of the entire
Hewitt field, also is illustrated with
many sketches, drawing and maps
The reports will be worth much more
than they will sell for, but it is the
intention Of the Chamber of Commerce
to defray the actual cost Of the pub
lication and not to make any profit
on it.
The government engineers COM
menced the investigation Of the Hew-
lit field in April, 1920, after they had
completed similar work in the Walters
field.
The work OF the bureau of mines
engineers in the Walters oil and
gas fields was so fayorably received
by tine operators that after the Wal
ters work had been completed, num-
erous requests were received by the
Bartlesville station of the bureau ask
ing that engineers be sent into other
fields of the state. One operator in
the Walters field reported that his
production had been increased by 500
barrels per day by following the rec
concentrations in the government re-
port. Other operators reported that
they had been benefited by the work,
thus when II came time TO select
n new field, there were requests that
the same type of work be done in a
rumber of fields throughout the state.
There were. however, a number of
operators in the Walters field who
were also interested in the Hewitt field
These men realizing the value OF the
bureaus work asked that engineers
be sent to investigate conditions in
the Hewitt field in order to assist the
operators in solving their problems.
The work in tine Hewitt field was
started about the LIST Of April, 1920.
T. +. Swigart and +. y. Schwarzen-
bek, petroleum engineers at the Bar
tlcsvile station OF the bureau OF
mines, were assigned TO this work. A,
that time the Hewitt field was only
partly developed but operations were
going ahead AT a rapid rate.
The first work done in The Hewitt
field by the Bureau engineers was
the running of elevations of each well
location and well The next step was
the collection OF all obtainable logs

Harding in his campaign last year,

he would sign any resolution Con-

Peace means trade, and here are the

Anplo-Irish Conference.

The Anglo-Irish conference is on the
schedule for October II. The note of
L,oyd George reopened the way and
Eamonn De Valera accepted the invi-
tation. De Valera in his acceptance
repeats Georges statement of the OBJ
ject of the conference to be the ascer-
tainment of how 1.-The association Of
Ireland with the community of ma
ticns known as the British empire
may best be reconciled with Irish as
pirations" De Valera also agrees with
George that conference and not cor
respondence is the most practical and
hopeful way to an understandings
I,a says that "our respective posi-
ticns have been stated and understood
and ", agree to that conference"
This conference is to be momen-
tous and historic. The wise and pa
triotic men at the table should, and
may, devise terms of arrangement Of
an age-old problem which will involve
surrender on neither the Irish nor the
English side-which really will find
a way to maintain the association Of
Ireland with 1.-The community of ma
tions known as the British empire" /"
and in harmony with Irish national
aspirations" 1t is to be a great task,

The Land.

The Secretary of Agriculture has
appointed a committee of five scien-
lists from his department to give
special study to the problem of bring
ing more land under cultivation.
The committee will make a survey
covering production. consumption, for
eign demand and population increase.
It may also make a survey of the
extent of arid tracts, swamp lands
and cut-over timber lands that may
bc brought under cultivation.
The land.working question is not the
most pressing economic issue with US,
but in the long run it is the. most
important. The land is the treasure
house of mankind. There the basic
wealth is to be obtained and the land
gives up its riches only as reward
for hard work. except, of course, in
those rare cases of accidental mineral
discovery. Without adequate working
of the land all other industries must
languish. 1t is much more important

Prices and Unemployment.

No part of the reports laid before
employment is of more far-reachins
Importance than that section of the
report of the manufacturers commit
tee which deals with price reductions.
Put into logical execution, the COM
mittee's recommendation would bring
the prices of all commodities nearer
to a normal level, abolishing inequali-
ties which are as hurtful as they are
unjust, and would make it possible
with fairness to ask labor to accept
reduction in it's money wage.
The committee recommends that
prices shall be readjusted on a basis
Of Replacement values in terms Of
efficient producing and distributing
costs plus a reasonable profit" and
strongly urges all manufacturers and
wholesalers who may not yet have
adopted this policy to do so; but it
adds that cit is essential to the sue
cess of these measures when put into
effect that retail prices shall promptly
and fairly reflect the price adjust
ment of the producer, manufacturer
and the Wholesaler
1t is not expected that such a policy
would operate to bring prices down to
the pre-war level, the large increase in
currency circulation making that il
logical, but the effect would be to
equalize prices and to stabilize them
at a level commensurate with post
war conditions. AS the prices of
manufactures came down the prices OF
farm products and certain raw ma
terials would have to come up until
they met a point of true relativity,
and there the level would be estab-
lished. Wages, by force of logic and
circumstance, would adjust themselves
to this level; confidence both in the
Justice and the stability of prices
would be restored, buyers would re-
turn to the market and the country
would be on the way to prosperity
which would quickly take up the slack
of unemployment.
The program of emergency meas
ures recommended to the states and
municipalities is excellent within the
limits of its possibilities, and will
help greatly both to prevent immedi-
ate suffering and to get the larger
movement under way, but the big
achievement of the conference is eX-
position of the fact that no permanent
prosperity can be hoped for so long
as one man is forced to sell for less
than it cost him to produce while an
other exacts an unreasonable and un-
fair profit.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
A Farmers I

IA dTIlcl . lllc.
A farmer l should like to be,
To live all happily and free.
Alas! 1 know I never will
Possess the needful sense and skill.
A farmer has to know the way
The markets go from day to day,
And how to read statesman's mind
And speak his own in phrase refined
He has to know in terms exact
How various chemicals react
Which he inserts into the soil
To stimulate the fruits of toll.
To keep hired help upon his list
He has to be hypnotist,
And learn to make a f1ivver start
And still maintain cheerful heart.
Each ev'ning he must read anew
Psychology and science, too,
The genealogy of germs.
And study maps Of isotherms,
And figure out the laws Of chance
And economics and finance.
A farmer should like to be.
The blissful hope is not for me.
1t isn't that the toll is tough,
I simply do not know enough.

The Watch on the Rhine.

Senator Lodges intimation that the
American troops would soon be with
drawn from the Rhine has excited
unfavorable comment in France.
|. 1t is still too early to believe in Ger
many's good faith. So long as the
reparation payments remain doubt
full and America is committed to the
clauses of the treaty in which Ger
many binds herself to make these
payments, it is desirable that Ameri-
can troops remain with the allied
troops as a constant reminder to Ger
many that America stands with the
allies in this matter. Their early re-
moval would be mistakenly inter-
preted by the Germans as an aban.
donment by America of any support
of these clauses. The result could only
be unfortunate and encourage those
elements in Germany which seek to
nullify the penalties of the war.
Mr. Borah opposes the treaty with
Germany because of the principle Of
force which runs through it." Except
for this principle 1t would have died
violent death two years ago. And
If this principle is weakened the Ger
mans will soon refuse to meet their
obligations.
Two things stand out plainly: Ger
many must be made to pay the PEN
atty OF the war, and Germany re-
spects only force. To encourage Ger
many to resist the treaty is to, nulli-
