The First Advance in Crude.

Oil men were rather inclined to view
the first advance in oil prices, announced
yesterday in the Pennsylvania field, as
the fulfilment of their prophecy that
crude oil was not in a state of over
production, that the demand far eX-
ceeded the supply and that the inertia of
the Southern fields had created a gap
which could be filled only by return
TO normal exploration and drilling work.
The advance for Pennsylvania crude was
20 cents. to sS.o5 barrel, and practi-
caliy all producers Joined the advance.

PLENTY 0F HELP IS REPORTED FOR
 WHEAT HARVEST

Advices received by the Departmen of Agriculture from it's agents in the field indicate that there will be no general shortage of labor, for the wheat harvest, and that in some areas there will be a decided surplus
 In Kansas, where the harvest be- gins about June 1 , in the southern tier of counties, the supply of labor is already in excess of the demand In that State wages for shOckers do not run over $3 a day with board and lodging.
 In Texas, where harvest is already in progress, there seems to be labor enough to meet all demands, with the possible exception of the ''Panhandle' district In Texas harvest wages run from g to S2-50 a day.
 In the northern wheat States the situation has not yet developed suf- Iciently to make possible reliable esti- mates as to demands for outside la bor, but it seems probable that the labor market will be comparatively easy in most localities, with the pre- vailing wage not over SS a day.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, June 15- This small town is going to tackle a big proposition and its citizens will tell you now that what they are going to put over will be a bowling success. Chippewa Falls is to be the scene of the Elks' Mardi Gras and Historical Pageant, scheduled for the week of June 2S-July 1.
 There was some trepidation when the IGlks of Chippewa Falls embarked on this undertaking, for never before did a small city tackle anything of such majOr-league proportions. Chip eva Falls was admOnished that it was an undertaking commensurate only with the facilities to be afforded by such cities as Milwaukee and Chi cagO. But the little municipality on the banks of the Chippewa River had made up it's mind, and the delegates brought home the favorable decision. The river town has been preparing for the festival of the Elks for many and everything is reported in readiness. Facilities have been found to make comfortable the Elk who travels hither from the furthermost point on the map.

CALIFORNIA LEADS

San Francisco, June 15.-Famed for hee nuts, fruits and vegetables, California has stiff competition from other ntates in all but one line.
 hat Is the business of growing edi- ble thistles-that is to say, arti- chokes- Only the climate and soil of California have proven successful in turning this giant thistle into delicate vegetable. Many experi- ments have been made elsewhere, but to no avail, and even in Cali fornia the artchoke is particular about its home. In fact, all arti- chokes grown for shipment come from a small section of down the coast from San FTancisco-the rich black loam territory of Half Moon Bay and similar sections
 And this one agricultural monop- oly in growing missiles has developed into a business giving a return of approximately $500, 900 annually Approximately 500 carloads were shipped last year, the artichokes bringing s3.O00 2 carload.
 The choice aUtichOkes sell at 25 cents each wholesale, thus lordinE it over apples, oranges. raisins or other tanned products of the golden state. Of the 500 cars $50 were sold in the Eastern markets and 150 on the Pa cific coast
