!. Despite the sentiment against the
Americans chautauQua talent draws
large audiences and the higher class
es do not share this anti-American
prejudice. The chaut2uQua work is
gradually educating the natives to a
correct version of the American peo-
pie and It's ways. New Zealand tai
ent Is visiting our country and upon
return to the island are spreading
wholesome enlightment about Amer
lea among the natives. One evidence
of the lessning antipathy is the ces-
sation Of tent stoning. Several years
ago the natives would stone the tents
where the programs were given. Now
within the canvas the Americans are
being showered with flowers more
prOfuse than an American audience
would dream of.
The scenic beauty of New Zealand
is indispensable. The forest in pla-
ces however have been greatly de-
pleted. This has been caused by the
ambition of the natives during the
war to raise sheep to supply the alb
normal war demand. In order to pro-
vide more grazing room the natives
actually burned large expanses of
forest. Kauri, the finest species of
pine, grows quite thickly and has a
diameter of about twenty feet. From
this pine is secured gum which
grows to the tree trunk like amber
transparent rocks. This gum is used
to make some of the best varnishes.

Car an Education Factor.
The automobile has brought the
city to the country, and vice versa.
From this both have profited socially
and financially. While We have been
talking about good roads, the auto
mobile has forced them upon us and
lessened the cost of farm produce by
reducing the cost of transportation.
The utility of the automobile on
the farm is demonstrated in many
ways. Farmers who live fifteen to
thirty miles distant from their market
used to consume an entire day making
the round trip-and at times, il the
cay proved unusually hot, it would be
along into the night before the tired
horses and men would reach home.
Today farmers in these same sections
start for the market early in the morn
ing and are back on their farms in a
few 'hours-ready for days work at
something else.

Air Renews Oil Flow.

The output of semi-ex hausted oil
wells in Pennsylvania is being in
creased from 80 to 100 per cent by
forcing air down abandoned wells.
which drives large quantities of oil
into the wells that have not been
abandoned, says Motor Life.
In other cases the wells are flooded
with water. J. o. Lewis, chief petro-
leum technolog.st of the bureau of
mines, claims that the Bradford field
in Pennsylvania mas produced as much
oil again by water flooding. He says:
I'VE do not know what will be the
results of the compressed air proc
esses. There are indications in a num-
Der of instances that only 10 to 20 per
cent of the oil in wells has been re-
covered in the ordinary pumping
process. If the compressed air drives
the remaining oil from the sands
there is no telling how much more oil
may be brought to the surface"
