EXPERTS TAKING OVER
KENTUCKY DRY HOLES

Bowling Green, Jan. ISIS your
dry hole for sale? Well buy it,"
An advertisement in substantially
those words is being run in daily
newspapers and oil journals of Ken
lucky. The advertisement has paid
handsomely, for the reason that the
purchasing syndicate takes over
properties operated by men mex
perienced in the oil business and
who consequently are not Compel
ent to Judge whether they have a
paying or non-paying producer.
Another class of wells bought are
those considerably removed from
pipe lines and owned by men or as
sociations of men who haven't the
funds to erect storage or lay pipe
line. There are in instances of two,
three or five men forming a syndi-
cate and using all their funds to
drill a hole which proved unprofita-
BILE because they were not equipped
to handle the oil or believed they
had an Improbable well. Many
properties of these syndicates have
been bought by experienced men,
the wells cleaned out and put on the
pump and the property made valua-
BILE.
A league of operators has been
formed in Bowling Green to take
over and develop just such proper
ties in the western part of the state.
1t is composed Of experienced oper-
ators, geoglogists, engineers and
business men, who are operating for
profit and who also believe that he
resources of the state should be as
far as possible taken out OF the
hands of amateurs.

IN ALCOHOL
ISM SHOWN

New York, Jan. 15.-Almost
twice as many men and women were
treated in New York City hospitals
for alcoholism during the last four
months of 1920 than during the
same period of 1919, according to
figures published here in letter
from Bird s. Color, Commissioner
of Public Welfare, to Mayor John F.
Hylan.
During the 1919 period mention
cd $50 cases were treated in the CT
ty institutions, as against l,3ll
cases for the last four months of
1920.
These figures added to interest in

A perpendicular drop in alcoholism
hut that recent months showed an
"almost equally abrupt ascent.
The reasons for the slump in alco-
holic addicts AT first were given by
the Commissioner as fear of death"
from wood alcohol, timidity on the
mart of saloonkeepers and lack of
organization among bootleggers. AS
time went on, however every one
concerned became holder he said.

U. S. GOVERNMENT ISSUES
new TYPE SAVINGS CARD
Faith of Nation SoIemnIy PIedg'
ed to Pay Postal Savings
Deposits
The United states Postal Savings

The United States Postal Savings
sy stem is today marking its tenth
anniversary by issuing a new postal
savings end which viii displace
the lo-c.l' postal savings card
which has been in use since the es-
adjustment of the System On Janu-
airy l, 1911.
The new card will be furnished
free of cost and when ten 1O-cent
postal savings stamps have been af-
fixed to it will be accepted at any
depository office as a deposit of 81
or it may be redeemed in cash. The
outstanding feature of the new card
is the translation into twenty-four
foreign languages of the statement
that the faith of the United States
is solemnly pledged to the payment
of deposits made with the System.
The Service was first established
at forty-eight post offices, one in
each state, on January /, 1911, and
although hampered by many re-
strictions as to rate of interest and
maximum amount allowed on depos-
it, it has shown remarkable prog
ress. Postmaster General Burleson
announces that the amount on de-
post today is more than $162,000,-
900 and it's depositors have long
since passed the one-half million
mark.
AS predicted by its proponents in
the days before the passage of the
original Postal Savings Act, our
foreign born citizens have been the
principal patrons of the System.
Taught in their native countries to
look to the Government to safe
guard their savings, they naturally
expect this Government to do like
wise. In the present flood tide of
immigration, each newcomer as he
leaves the port of entry, receives a
1eaflet in his own language outlining
the method of operation of the Uni
ted States Postal Savings System
and urging upon him the desirabili-
ty of continuing in this country the
practice of thrift which has been
so necessary in the country he has
Just left. The Service is, therefore,
one of the most potent factors in
furthering the Americanization
movement.
Many banks, usually savings
banks, prior to the establishment OF
the System felt that the Postal Saw
ings System would be strong COM
petitor but experience has shown
that the Postal Savings System
draws it's patrons not from deposit
tors in established and well-conduct-
ed banks but from among those who
otherwise would not place their
money in any banking institution
whatever.
The original act of Congress re-
stricted the total amount to be plac-
ed on deposit at $500 and the depos-
it of this amount was limited to
not more than 500 per month.
Later the monthly limitation was
entirely removed and the maximum
amount increased first TO $1,000
and then to the present amount, ST.
500. Postmaster General Burleson,
in the annual report just submitted
to Congress recommends increasing
the rate of interest to be paid depos-
itors and action by Congress WILL
no doubt, be taken along these lines
within the near future.
