The prlce decline during the month was placed at s1s per cent by the board, which added the observation that the de- crease in price was mainly confined to commodities which had shown a decline previously, rather than an extension of price cutting to other industries
 The decline was reported as most marked in agricultural products, textiles, hides, leather, and iron and steel prod ucts, while coal petroleum, gasoline paper, brick and cement remained large ly unaffected Some reductions were rs- ported in the open market in the latter group of commodities, the board said, but contract prices appeared to be at the same level as in earlier months.

day when CHANGING over copy of the
publication called the Jewish Farm
err" l cannot Imagine a publication
more valuable to you in your immedi-
Ite affairs. 1t seems to give to the
Jewish farmer the very information
he ought to have about his own farm
conditions, as well as constanG guild
ance concerning the proper use of gov
eminent publications in so far as they
affect the farmer. But it was all in
Yiddish. Now we know of the uphill
fight that has been made to bring
about an English page in existing Yid-
dish periodicals SO that the second
generation can learn to use the paper
of their parents and interpret to them
the newspaper their folks are reading
as well as the other purpose of liav-
ing those who read Yiddish only get
to read more and more in English con-
corning subjects chat interest them, ]
believe you will agree with me that If
the Jewish Farmer" had few pages
in English it would make that paper
Il strong medium for the uniting of the
first and second generations of the
Jewish farmers.
l see in the audience Mr.. Gabriel
Davidson, modest and retiring as
usual. And that gives me chance
10 say word or two about the ire
mendous helpfulness to you of the or
ganization of which he is general di-
rector and has been for so long I'll"
guiding spirit. The Jewish Agricul-
tural and Industrial Aid Society, head
ed by its distinguished president. Mr.
Cyrus l.. Sulzburger, has been potent
factor in making known to the general
public the needs of the farmer and in
the helping to relieve those needs.
I was reading the fine record IF
loans made to Jewish farmers by that
organization. To my mind. there is
nothing more interesting than a man
who borrows money if he pays IL bacH.
A man WHO borrows money for proper
purposes is vaIued. asset to the COM
munity. Anybody can stand still.
That is easy But while you are
standing still your neighbor is going
forward. and you will soon find your
self in the background. The man who
is not standing still, who wants TO
improve. who desires to progress and
who asks himself. what do ! need

when you needed financial assistance

OIL NEWS

The Bleyins well in 28-1O-24 is making rapid progress with a rotary rig The 12 inch casing was set at 45O feet, and the cement plug was drilled out several days ago. The well is now drilling at 600 feet and three gas pockets have been encoun- tered already The head driller. Mir. Boutee, has charge of the operations and everybody believes they will get big oil well and if not, they are cer- tain of big gasser.
 The Humphreys people, drilling Sutton No. 1 in 4-13-22, are down a little better than 1900 feet and pro- gressing nicely. The hole is in good shapewith the drill in red shale. This formation is very promising. Pro- ductlon seems certain. The same peo- pie who are drilling the Bluff City well in 16-12-20 are drilling between 1850 and 1900 feet in blue gumbo. The log of this we'll is running true with the log of other wells that have proved to be good producers.
 A new location has just been made in 7-15-21 in the southern part of the county Drill has been purchased and actual operations will begin with in sixty days.
 We are reliably informed that land is being blocked northwest of the Missouri Pacific railway for the pur- pose of letting drilling contract on a fifty-ffty basis. The contract will probably call for we'll to be put down in not less than three and one half miles of this city When the land is blocked, 50 per cent of the acreage will be assigned to the driller to put down the well.
 Some good authorities state that the prairie country northwest of Prescott has the appearance of the Caddo oil field and some fields in Texas. They also state that the general formation has the appear ance of a shallow field.
