FAITH IN OIL DEPOSITS
REVIVED IN OHIO COUNTY

Recently there has been revival
in the belief that rich oil deposits ex-
list under the barren hills a few
miles north of Hartford, and a re-
newed effort to locate it is being
made.
Discovery of oil in a number of
wells drilled in that community ten
years ago lend color to and makes
tenable the conjecture that a larger
pool lies hidden somewhere in that
locality. and a further tryout is to
be given that field.
The Smiths Grove Oil and Gas com
pany, under the management of Mr.
Harold Holbrook is now drilling
well on the Brown farm, at a point
about 500 feet from the nearest pro-
ducing well, and this company is con-
templating drilling at least two 9TH
err wells in the community.
A recent shooting of the produc-
ing wells has resulted in an increas-
ed supply of oil in these wells, and
the fact that this group is the old
est continuously producing territory
in Kentucky encourages the hope
that the right spot has not yet been
reached. Oil operators from several
other oil fields have visited the coun-
ty since the Smiths Grove Company
decided to make further tests of
the territory, and if this we'll proves
to be producer other companies will
at once get active in this field.
The fact that these wells have pro-
duced through a longer period than
any other wells in the state is an en-
evidence that there may
still be paydirt under those hills. The
discovery of oil in really paying guam
Titles would attract large volume |
Of capital to the country, thru |
which everybody would receive more
Or less benefit. and it would perhaps
be worth while for everybody to lend
Encouragement to the present effort |
o further tryout the venture.

ing divorce, and few hours after
getting her decree Of divorce was
married to Henry d. McHenry. This
is Daisy's second martial venture and
the third for Henry d. The very
brevity of Daisy's freedom indicates
that she is one woman who does not
stand sampson-strong on woman's

DOGS, AUTOS AND TRUCKS.

In an article in this paper last week
copied from the books of the tax COM
missioner, the number of dogs appear
ed as 2,1S9, number of automobiles
455 and the number of trucks s. An
examination of the license records of
the county court clerks office shows
and interesting shifting of the for
tunes and vicicitudes of the public
with reference to these, types of prop
erty. To illustrate, the number of
dogs was almost constant from the
date of assessment, July /, to jan
uary /, decrease of eleven. The
assessor found 2,1S9 dogs and the
number of tags sold by the county
clerk was 2,17S.- The assessors re-
cord shows Ohio county citizens own
ed 455 automobiles July l, 1920, but
the clerk licensed SOS January /,
1921, showing 113 tin lizzies and
limousines had been purchased be-
tween those dates. But the biggest
change was in auto trucks. At the
time of taking the assessment only
five such trucks was owned in the
county, but January the number, as
shown by the clerks licenses record,
was 2t. These figures 9ra given to
illustrate the rapid increase in motor
transportation vehicles.

incorrect statements had been made

GERMANY BOWS To
ALLIED ULTIMATUM
Reichstag Votes Acceptance
BY 221 to 275; Cabi-
net Formed

Berlin, May 1O.-Germany will
sign.
This fateful decision born after
much mental despair, political agony
and economic pain, was reached at
almost the twelfth hour. The decision
was made late this afternoon.
The Nationalist, the German Peo-
pies party and the Bavarian Peoples
party voted not to sign and refused to
re.enter the new government cosli-
tion.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1921-05-13

Berlin, May 10.-Germany has ac-
cepted the allied ultimatum. The
Reichstag tonight Wy vote of 221
TO 175 yielded to the final demands
OF the allied powers. and in so doing
agreed to fulfill the terms of the
treaty of Versailles ito the capacity"
of the nation to do so.
DR.. Wirth, the Centrist leader,
finally succeeded in forming a coali-
ton cabinet, composed of Centrists,
Majority Socialists and Democrats,
which, confronted by grave necessi-
~, speedily decided that acceptance
OF the ultimatum was the only course.
In making this announcement to
the Reichstag the new chancellor ask
ed for an imemdiate decision by that
body.and in the voting which fol-
lowed, the government was sustained.
The allied ultimatum required a
definite reply. based on yes" or
mo. No conditional reply would be
Entertained, and the ultimatum was
formulated to expire on the night OF
May IL.

Fails To Meet Favor.

DR.. Wirth, the chancellor, is un-
favorably regarded by the Industrial
lists and banking interests because
he is closely associated politically
with Matthias Erzberger, his prede-
cessor, as finance minister. who advo-
Gated a raid on capital, rather than
Indirect taxes, as a means of meet
ing Germany's pressing financial
needs.
The conservative elements in the
Reichstag regard the cabinet as too
socialistic and incapable of outlining
a policy whereby Germany can begin
immediately meeting the Entente's
financial demands.
The present cabinet is the out
growth OF two days of the Widest
possible chaos, in which the parties
met day and night and finally, in
desperation, the members agreed up
on an improvised slate, which under
went scores of changes in the last
forty-eight hours and admittedly new
er could have obtained ratification

Cabinet Can Not Last

While the cabinet obtained a COM
Portable majority in the Reichstag, it
has the undivided support of only the
majority Socialists and Clericals The
members Of the other parties, 4. is
declared, have given it support as
a makeshift and are net pledged to
give It parliamentary support. A
leading DemcsI attic member OF the
Reichstag said today;
! THE cabinet can not last, as II is
not on a broad enough basis to car
ny out the myriad of financial and
economic problems involved in Ger
man acceptance of the Preparations set
Element"
1--WE democrats have loaned 'Schif-
fer and Gessler to the cabinet, reserv-
ing to ourselves the right to withdraw
them later unless the cabinet is am
plifed- to include the German peo-
pies party"

To Pay Huge Sum.

The total sum which Germany is
calles upon to pay is $3.50. OOO. 900,
disarmament must be carried out by
Germany in accordance with the pro-
visions of the treaty and the trial of
war criminals must be put into eff
feet. Numerous other important
FERNS in which Germany has been in
default will be enforced.
Noncompliance with the allied Ill
timatum would have subjected Ger
many to the occupation by the allies
of the Ruhr Valley and whatever
other military and naval, measures
were deemed advisable.
The new cabinet is generally re-
garded as a makeshift, largely un-
representative but good enough to
accept the Entente ultimatum and
thus avoid French advance into the
Ruhr.
