OIL SUPPLY LIMITED
United Statc- Will Bc Exhausted Within 16 Years at Present Rate of Production

Columbus. O.. June 4.-The oil sup ply of tho United States will be cx- hausted in 16 years. if present rates of production arc kept. up. and no new producing territory is discovered, it is asserted by Professod John A. Bownocker, state gcoloEist and pro- lessor of geology at ohio state Uni versity.
 According to Professor Eownocker, the United States has petroleum re- scrveS mounting to six or seven bill lion barrels. The rate of production in 1920 was 40 million barrels q year. However. this is thought to he the highest mark production will reach. Bownocker said geoiogists believe. The production rate is expected to decline this year.
 Thus. Professor Bownocker points out. this country actually can produce oil for longer than I6 years. but at a eonstnntiy decreasing rate each year.
 More than 60 per cent of the worlds oil supply is produced in the United States Much oil Is imported here from Mexico. second in oil production. but. Professor Bownocker declared, at Mcxico's present rate of production. her wells will cease to be a factor in two or three years.

WORK OF NEIHARDT
 COVERS LONG TERM
Noted Poet on Piece for Past
 Seven Years

Lincoln. Neb., June 4.-Ofhcial recognition Of an Amo rican poet by law making body came during the recent session of the Nebraska Iegis- laturc when the senate and house of representatives passed a joint and concurrent resolution naming John C. NeihaTdt poet laureate of Nebras- ka.
 This official action on the part of the state was taken by way of recog- niZinE the significance of the Ameri- can Epic Cycle upon which Neihardt has been working steadily for seven years, and which William Stanley I'raithwaito. literary critic of the Boston Transcript has character ized as "oI, Of the profoundly nota- hle and one of the few original things in the development of American poe try"
 Two pieces of the Epic. The Song of Hugh Glass; and The Song of the Three Friends have already 'ap- peared. the latter having won the prize of the Poetry society for the best volume of verso published by an American in 1919. The author is now working upon the third section of the Epic ''The Song of the In- dian Wars" which will be completed in 1923.
 The entire collection when done will consist Of five pieces and the com pletion of the task will require more than a decade of the life of the poet The epic deals wholly with the ma tCrials of western history during the first four decades of the nineteenth century, and all the scenes lie in the region between the Missouri river and the RoCkv Mountains.
 Neihardt holds that this material is as truly epic in its nature as were the wars of the Greeks over Troy or the adventures of Ulysses, and they arc infinitely more interesting to Americans.
 X school edition Of the The Song of Hugh Glass" was published more than year ago, and is now in use in many schools throughout the United States. Prof. Julius T. House of the State Normal school at Wayne, Nebraska. says this is the first in- stance since the days of Longfellow that an entire volume of an Ameri- can poet has been published for schools. The poem is already in use in states as widely separated as Pennsylvania and California we'll as in the middle west.
 Neihardt is western product having been born in Illinois. lived in Kansas and Missouri in early boy hood, and having completed his col lege education and written his works in Nebraska. He is passionately fond Of outdoor life. is fine swim mer and hunter and has skill with tools. He has lived for years among the Omaha Indians Tn order to learn their language and customs that he might make use of them in his poe try. Omaha Indians have given him the name The Littl" Bull Buffalo" Tn 1908 Neihardt went up the Missou ri river to Fort Benton. the head of navigation. and made the long

 No matter how unjust the loyal cit izen may deem law to be, he must obey it and he must not-nor must a newspaper or other organ of pub licity-advocate a breaking of that law. 1t would be perfectly proper and often right for the person or the paper to show faults in such law and urge a repeal. Thus far and no far ther may one go.

COMING IN-GOING OUT.

The Providence Journal comments l on the farewell address of former
 vice-President Marshall and the
 speech of vice-President Coolidge.
 Attention is drawn to the contrast shown in MT. MarshaIl's informality
 of utterance. and the conventional
 character of e-President Coolidge's
 address.
 Naturally there would be a marked
 contrast between the greeting and the
 farewell Of any man. The one seeks
 tJ create a certain impression that there be no mistake about the speak CTS intentions and habit of thought. The other is intended to leave with those with whom the speaker has been associated. the sort Of impress sion he would desire to have them hold regarding him.
 But further than this. and without comparing the strength of the two men. there certainly is an essential difference in their natures Were former Vice President Marshall to assume office at the present time. after all the changes which have come to sentiment in this country. it is quite possible that it would be a different sort of man who would ad- dress the members of the Senate Gone would be much of his charming airy persi1age. and in its place. quite probably. woudd lie deeper signifi- canoe.
 It Is also possible that were Vice President Coolidge in the former vice-President's position when the latter made his address. after years of service in the post to which he has been elected. his words would have partaken of much of the informality which characterized MT. Marshanps utterances.
 But vice-Prcsident Coolidge differs from MT. Marshall. He has not that ability to charm with de- ! lightful expression. He is serious minded to a degree that would be inn proved. possibly. by.something of Mir. ability to see matters from another. lighter. viewpoint.
 Moreover, Vice President Coolidge : comes to hts post with the enthus- : iasm of new man. comparatively , with the hopelessness of making much Of tho office which has { been in evidence in the past He in- i tends to bring it into prominence. MT. l Marshall .. disillusionized probably . leaves in regret that he is not able To look back upon years of hard work we'll done-with results for all to sec.
 Both are splendid men: may the vistful optimism Of the one continue. and may the hopefulness of the other receive its reward.
