PD-Latcst reports from Rosiclare and
Elizabethtown today indicated that con-
ditions were quiet in the tluorspur

brought details of rough treatment at
the hands of those opposed to unioniz-
ing Of the workers.
1t seemed to be established that num-
bers of miners and members of their
families had left the mining towns in

DOES TRAINING PAY?

At the present time the business
world is passing through temporary
depression Although conditions have
been improving number Of industries
are laying off employees, cutting
salaries, and getting down to a rock
bottom efficiency basis.
Which class of employees are releas-
ed at time like this-the trained
worker or the unskilled man who has
no special ability? The unframed
man is always the first to 60. He is
never sure Of his job, and even when
working draws a low salary.
The man or woman who knows how
I'd do some one thing well, the man OF
woman who is prepared for his Or
her work, is the one that stays on the
payroll and the one that draws the
best salary.
+ Specialized training will lift anyone
above the masses. Ability is nothing
but an average brain specially pre-
pared. Such training is necessary tC
success in this age Of specialization
Brains are at a premium. There are
plenty of men and women for the

the gas pressure decreased, and was
practically abandoned when oil went
to 35 cents.
Bailey No. 2, close by, came in pro-
ducing 1900 barrels, and flowed three
years, with the same fate. Altogether
five wells were drilled, at that time
proving the section a profitable pro-
ducing one.
Later the lease was taken over by
the Church, Burton & Pfeiffer Syndi-
cate, which brought Bailey No. l back
last October producing 250 barrels.
The Bedding Oil Cooperation was or
ganized to wildcat in Bull Bayou. Its
roster Of charter members contains the
names Of some Of the most influential
and prominent men in Shreveport.
Instead Of wildcatting, however, the
directors Of the corporation believed
that more money could be made for
stockholders in the rehabilitation Of
abandoned territory in the Caddo field,
which belief has been justified. Cadl0
has been one Of the most consistent
producing fields in the United States!
The lure Of newer and Shower fields
frequently has drawn seasoned oil men
away from their properties in Caddo
only to return later to the old meal
ticket when they, had dumped their
winnings in another field.
It was on this theory that the Bed.
ing Corporation took advantage Of the
opportunity to buy the Bailey. Caldwell
lease with the intention Of bringing It
back to production.

Read what the Shreveport journal, Jan. IS, says:

-Four Of the old wells on this prop
erty have been rehabilitated to good
producing capacity; No. l, making $50
barrels on the pump, and the others
producing and coming back stronger
every day.
As soon as the corporation saw that
Bailey No. l was coming back, it con.
tracted for three new wells, which
show every indication Of becoming
good producers. One Is completed and
producing, and the other two have
been drilled in and are awaiting rigs
The prospects are that all three will
be substantial producers. The Beld
ing Corporation has reserved its deep
rights" in the Woodbine sand, and are
contemplating drilling into 1t.
There are other properties on the
Caddo Strip that are capable Of reha.
Utilization. A deep stratum Of oil sand
has been discovered close to the Strip
at 1900 feet. A we'll close to the
Strip came in producing 1900 barrels,
estimated, proving an abundance Of
deep oil in that locality. AS many as
twenty new derricks are up in the
Strip now, and 1t is reported that one
Of the big companies has ordered SIX
ty derricks built in It at once.
Interest in the Strip has been re.
vived, and oil men, competent by ex-
perience, are more than ever convinc-
ed that Caddo is the mother pool"
and that almost every part of it is
susceptible to further exploration, anf
in many places, capable Of profitable
rehabilitation.
