OIL MEN HAVE
 LANGUAGE ALL
 TO THEMSELVES
Technical Phrases and Other Things Are Interesting
 to All Classes.

TULSA. Okla. July 1S.-Oil. men have a language all their own, as it were. for the oil industry, like others. has a number of more or less technical terms and phrases con rected with it that are not Sener- ally understood outside the oil Held districts.
 For instance. shooting a well has an entirely different meaning rom that applied in river naviga- ion to the term shooting the ra apids." In the oil country the phraee means the lowering into the well Of several dozen quarts of nitroglycerine and allowing it to explode in the bottom of the well in the oil sand.
 Oil wells are drilled much like artcsian water wells. A rig" or tail pyramid framework, is erected over the spot where the well is to be drilled At various stages dur ing the sinking of the well it is cascdsin by steel pipe. the joints Of which are screwed together, making continuous pipe. This serves to keep out. water and to keep the well from caving.
 As the well is bored deeper, the size of the casing is reduced in order to keep putting it down inside of that already in place Two or three changes, or possibly four, are all that are usually made in re- ducing the size of the casing.
 If, no oil is found the well is termed dry hole" If gas is found, it is a "gasser" A producing well is named according to the number of barrels of oil it produces in 24 hours, as 50barrel or a 500-barrel well.
 Oil at it comes from the ground Is called crude oil" It is carried to the refining plants in pipe lines, iron pipes ranging all the way from 3 to 10 or 12 inches in diameter, or in railway tank cars. There it goes through the refining process.
 Almost all oil men lease the land -sa which they drill, paying royal ties from one-eighth to one-six- Itcenth of the value of the oil pro- duced going to the owner of the land location is piece of land on which a well is drilled. It varies from 300 to 800 feet square Thus in a field that is closely drilled, each well will have wells on four sides of it between 300 and 300 feet away. These wells are known as offsets"
 A tank farm is a tract of land on which are located number of large storage tanks for oil.
 sTest wells" are the first wells drilled in a territory where oil has not been discovered. 'Wilf cat" wells are those drilled in territory where geologists have not found rock formations that indicate the presence of oil. A pool is an underground supply of oil, or oil sand saturated with oil. The "Mid-Continent" field com prises the states of Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Mis- souri, Montana and New Mexico.

ROCK ARRESTS
JOHN SCHOLEY
Detective Takes Constable
Into Custody on AS
Assault Charge.
ORDY IS PLAINTIFF

1t was a case of the "pincher''
pinched Saturday when Detective Rock
walked up to Crusader John Scholey,
who has caused moonshiners in Keno
sha county much loss of sleep, and in
formed him that he was under arrest.
Scholey gave in without any argument
and stated that he would go along
peacably and that the wagon need no
be called. The arrest was made fol-
lowing the swearing out of warrant
for Scholey's arrest by one Jack Ordy,
who claims that recently Scholey struck
him in the eye while making raid.
''Not Guilty" Says SchOley.
Scholey was released from custody
on his own recognizance Saturday and
ordered to appear in the municipal
court this morning. Scholey was up
bright and early this morning and was
one of the first to face Judge Tuily.
John, you're charged with assault
and battery on the person of one John
Ordy," Judge Tully said. "Are you
guilty or not guilty" "Not guilty,
your honor" promptly came back
Scholey. The case was continued until
week from today in order that
Scholey might have time to employ
counsel. 1t is understood that Attor-
ney Clifford Randall will appear for
Ordy.

GERMAN TROOPS
REAY TO DISBAND
by Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Defense Organizations Along SiIesian
Border Will Lay Down Arms as
Soon as Protection Assured.

Ober-Glogau, Upper Silesia - Ger
man defense organizationes in this city
and in other towns west of the Oder
river will disarm an disband as soon
as inter-Allied authority has been re-
established in Upper Silesia, said Cen
-eral Won Hoefer, commander of Ger
man guards here yesterday. He added
that the Allies should be thankful that
the Germans had organized 'these men
and had maintained order, instead of
trying to disarm and disband these
troops at this critical time"
eve do not want to keep these men
under arms minute longer than neces-
sary," he went~on, "but we must pro-
tect ourselves"
General Won Hoefer lost his right
arm during the great war and is con-
sjdered the strongest German person
atty in Silesia. He is credited with
having established discipline among
the defense forces gathered along the
Oder, but many of the men he has
disarmed and others who came here
from Germany, were sent back. Gen
eral Won Hoefer has repeatedly pre-
vented the Germans from starting a
general advance, rising one morning at
4 o'clock to send orders to Germans
already under way toward the Oder
to turn back. He has been in close
touch with the British control officers
in Upper Silesia and is said to have
had considerable influence with Allied
officials.

Milwaukee 'The world will be

ent, said before the annual meeting of

day, "and long before that time laws

presents the constitution and America
is not in the mood either to lower her
flag or nulify her constitution to please
any foreign power on earth.
Evidence multiplies that the liquor
interests of the world are banded to-
gether in conspiracy to nullify and
defeat the principles of the American
people as far as prohibition enforse-
ment is concerned. Today the temper
ance forces like the Allies are faced
with the necessity of compelling the
defeated and outlawed liquor interests
to fulfill the terms of the treaty. 1t
will be DONE" Resolutions on the
Matheson bill, which has been passed
by the legislature and vetoed by the

TREMPER UNDER
SURGEONS KNIFE
Principal of High School is
Operated on at the Ke-
nosha Hospital.
SEE EARLY RECOVERY

Prof. George N. Tremper, principal
of the Kenosha High school was op-
Grated on at the Kenosha hospital just
after ten o'clock this morning for
the removal of stone from the kidney.
The operation was performed by DR..
j. F, Hastings assisted by Doctors
Gephart and Mayfeld and it was de-
clared that the operation was a sue
cessful one. Mr.. Tremper was in ex-
cellent condition when he came out
from under the anesthetic just before
noon and he showed no serious con-
ditions as result of the operation.
Mr.. Tremper has been suffering
from kidney trouble for some time and
his condition became such on Sunday
that it was decided to take him to the
hospital. An examination by physi-
clans resulted in the decision that an
operation was necessary.
In Hospital for Six Weeks
1t will not be possible for Prof.
Tremper to return to his work at the
Kenosha schools during the present
school year and it is probable that he
will be in the hospital for at least six
weeks. Physicians who have been
attending the well known school lead
er declare that they believe that Mr..
Tremper will entirely recover his
health as result of the operation.
Keen anxiety over thei condition of
Principal Tremper was felt in the city
schools today and the announcement
at the High school that his condition
showed improvement following the on-
Grafton was greeted with cheers.
Prof. S. W. Ward will have charge
Of the work of Mr.. Tremper at the
High school for the remainder of the
year.

German Now Feel
High Living Costs

Berlin.-The Aiga cost of living,
coupled with the deterioration of the
mark and low salaries, has hit German
government employees such a blow
that a number of them say frankly the
only way in which they can exist is
ito go deeper into debt every day."
Some of them have borrowed money
on their salaries for months ahead,
and must borrow more.
One government official, on a salary
of 2,000~marks a month, which before
the war was reasonable wage, said
he had been unable to buy any clothes
for four years, that his garments now
were threadbare, his shoes worn out,
and he had contracted debts with his
grocer which he could not pay.
There is nothing to do but keep on
going deeper and deeper into debt"
he said. II do not know where it will
end, nor what will become of me. I
earn 1000 marks month; a suit of
clothes costs me 5000, a pair of shoes
800, good meal nearly 100-cigars,
cigarets and wines are out of the
question"
Another official said he had set aside
one-ffth of his salary for tobacco, but
that this only permitted him a few
cigarettes daily. az feel justified in
spending this money for tobacco<be-
cause smoking keeps the appetite
down." he declared 1t is not uncom-
mon for men who were once wealthy
or held highsalaried positions to ask
foreign acquaintance to remember
them in case they have an old suit of
clothes or pair of shoes Ito throw
away'

burden of taxes is to be lifted, halt
must be called against these enormous
expenditures.
Devotion and loyalty to our country
and to the deeds of our valorous vet
Grams should cause US to protect in

Inspired by their example, we should
accept every opportunity to battle for

For every marked or nameless grave
On the steel-torn Flanders way,
We who are whole of body and soul,

For the youth they gave and the blood

Japs Are Stirred
by Opium Scandals

Tokio.-After the opium scandal
disclosures Japanese political life has
been stirred by charges of graft in
connection with the operation of the
South Manchuria Railway. Allegations
have been made that the Seiyukai, or
dominant political party, has used the
railway to reward its own members in
Gllegitimate ways especially as re-
CARDS purchases, the prices paid being
disproportionately large. Mr.. Yamada,
formerly high official of the company
sent copy of a pamphlet to every
member of the diet making serious
charges against individuals and firms
as well as officials. The indictment is
said to have the general endorsement
of Mr.. Kawakami, formerly director
or the railway, who was recently ap-
pointed minister to Poland.

Swimming Lesson" Re-
suits in Death of I. Long
more and F. Carlson.
LOST LIFE IN ATTEMPT
LOngmore Lad Dragged to Bot
tom as He Struggles to
Save Companion.

A Swimming lesson" ended in a dou-
BILE tragedy on Sunday afternoon when
Irving Longmore, fourteen year old
boy, the only son of widow, and
Floyd Carlson, IS, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Carlson, were drowned in
the gravel pit on the farm Of Paul
Knuck, mile and half south of the
village of Union Grove. The lads had
gone there in company with Arthur
Jensen, an eleven year old lad, for a
swimming lesson which Longmore, a
strapping boy for his years. was going
to give. The drowning occurred when
Carlson, becoming half strangled in
water not more than shoulder deep,
began to founder. Longmore went to
his assistance and both were dragged
to the bottom.
One Knew How to Swim.
Young Longmore was the only one
of the trio that knew how to swim.
Because the water was not very deep,
the lads thought it was not dangerous
to swim there and Longmore had agreed
to act as instructor for the other two.
He led the Carlson boy to the middle
Of the pit where he told him "to lie on
the water and paddle" while Longmore
supported him with his hand.
When the Carlson boy'began to strug-
gle Longmore went in deeper to save
him and was caught in the others
death grip. Young Jensen was using
a long pole to aid him in wading into
the pit so that he would not step
into sink hole. When he saw his
companions struggling, he tried to
reach them with the pole but the wa
ter had circled over their heads be-
fore he could come within reach.
Calls Rescurers to Scene.
The Jensen lad ran out of the pit and
hurried to the Knuck farmhouse, where
he told of the drowning. Immediately
half dozen people hurried to the
gravel pit and searched for the bodies
of the two boys. They were recovered
within twenty minutes but all efforts
to recuscitate them failed.
Coroner Trumen T. Parker was sum
moned and on Monday made complete
investigation of the tragedy establish
ing the story told by the Jensen boy
regarding it.
This afternoon at Union Grove there
was a double funeral for the two vie
TINS of the drowning. The lads were
very well known in that part of the
town Of Bristol and their deaths have
cast shadow over the entire COM
munity.
