Report Brought to Mt. Vernon
OF Stream Thrown Sixty
Z, Feet High iiay
ESTIMATE IS ONE OF
BEST WELLS in FIELD
Increase In Oil Quotations
Discovers Many Unr
known Prophets

A report was brought to Mt Vernon
Saturday that well brought in this
week by the Utica Oil & Gas Co., on
the Brown farm in Clay township,
while being cleaned out on Friday af-
ter having been shot, had flowed a
stream of oil between so feet and go
feet high and six inches in diameter.
By the common method of compu.
tation; estimates place this well at bet
ter than 100 barrels daily capacity.
When pumping is started it may pos
sibly make the first day production
between 60 and 80 barrels. Later it
may settle down to an average of %
barrels.
Whatever the capacity of this well
may be, there seems no reason for a
mistaken estimate that it is one of the
best wells yet drilled in the Mt. Ver-
non field. But one other well, one
drilled by the Peru Oil & Gas Co, has
a similar record of flowing oil after
being shot.
The average production of wells in
the Mt. Vernon field Is rated at six
barrels day, while the average for
the state is placed at one-half barrel
These are. figures upon which conserv.
ative oil men base their confidence in
the Mt. Vernon field. While none of
the wells has proved a gusher, in the
popular understanding of that term,
they give promise of being steadily
productive.
f. Marion Snyder, who was the ear
liest oil man to come into the new de-
velopment of the Mt. Vernon field, Is
particularly elated over the showing
of the well on tie Brown farm. The
well is located within 70 feet of a
| fence that is the boundary line of a
lease. held by Snyder and Ross Adams.
Theys have made a location and will
| be drilling in short time.
have moved onto a location on the
| John Mckee farm. The well they are
about to start will be the Mckee No.
| g. .u,
A'notable change has been wrought
in the expression of oil men since the
recent increase of 25c in the price OF
oil Prior to Tuesday many of them
had been pessimistic and hopeless OF
any improvement or an advance be-
fore spring. The few who predicted
an advance in September found them
selves in position to place valua
tion upon the Biblical verse, "a proph
ct is not without honor save in his own
country
However, since Tuesday, when the
Standard published its new quotations
giving oil an upward~boost, a surpr.s
ingly large number have been found
who now distinctly recall the date ant
place they predicted II September
raise in oil quotations.

The CHEAPEST HABIT

The children of the country are to
be taught that health is a habit, not
bit of luck The federal buearu of ed

experienced teachers, has prepared an

better could happen to the children,
and II the old folks are wise they will
take a leaf from the book
1t isn't what you are that deter
mines whether you are well or sick,
the children will be taught, but what
you eat and do Instruction in what
to eat and what to do every day in or
der to keep well OF to remedy health
defects will follow as n matter OF
course.
What world of whining and sniff
fling and avoidable disease may be
saved In the rising generation through
this simple lnstructlon-fo 1t is sim
ple. The habit of health Is one OF
the most easily and cheaply acquired.
Older people are more handicapped In
formns it than children, for they have
more unhealthfui habits to overcome
But the way Is open, none the less, To
all who have sense and determination
enough to walk IN It,
The same rules which keep the chi

CIVIL WAR CLAIM
IS UP FOR REVIEW
Bounty Of $3.50 Under Grant
of Congress Is Subject
of LITIGATION.

Hundreds of claims of civil war
veterans for pay or allowances will
hinge on the determination of the
Court of Claims in the case Of Will
ford McElyea of Oskaloosa, ILL.,. for
a bounty of $3.50 granted by Con-
gress to commissioned officers below
the grade of brigadier general. The
claim has been decided adversely by
the court, in a decision of Justice
Downey of May 81 last, but the claim
ants attorney. Charles D. Penne-
paker. IS seeking reopening of the
case, and toward that end has sue
ceeded in having the court require
the controller general of the United
states to furnish papers concerning
the records and claims of McElyea
At the term of the court which
question as to whether the court has
jurisdiction in the case at this time
Will be decided, and on that point
Will hinge the thousands of other
claims which are expected to- be
| filed.
Declaration in Petition.
The petition of the attorney for
McElyea asserts that claims for three
months pay were made to the auditor
Tor the War Department and disal-
lowed, on the ground that the claim
ant was not in commission between
March and April 9. 1865. The audi
troller who stated at the time that
the auditor was without authority to
even consider the case.
An act of March 3, 1865, provides
for the payment of three months pay
to all officers of the volunteer forces
war below the grade of brigadier
general, who were in the service on
March 3. 1865. and whose designations
were presented and accepted or who
were mustered out or otherwise hon.
orably discharged from the service
after April 3. 1865.
After consideration of the McElyea
claim. the Court of Claims. in an
| opinion by Justice Downey. dis
| missed the case. taking as it's
December II. 1912. that no claim for
arrears of pay, bounty or other
allowances growing out of the
service of volunteers in the Army
OF the United States during the civil
war shall be received or considered
unless filed in the Office of the
auditor for the War Department on
or before December 81. 1912"
Court Construes Clause.
This passage the court construed
dS All IHlentloH Oh congress TO place
a limitation on filing such claims.
and pointed out that while Congress
subsequently appropriated money fon
the payment of such claims 1t did so
only because those claims were filed
previous to the date mentioned.
The subsequent appropriations did
not act as. means Of lifting the bar
of limitations of the act of December
81. 1912.
However. following this decision.
attorneys for McElyea pointed out
that the plaintiff did file claim
previous to the passage, and asked
the court to call on the controller
general of the United States for the
papers in the McElyea case. The
court did request the papers. but the
controller general refused to furnish
them. Then. on request of attorneys,
the controller general was sub
poenaed to furnish the papers, and
on September l answered the sub
poena and provided the papers re-
quired. They show that the plain
tiff, on August I, 1886, filed a claim
for the bounty.

WHY IS
ADVERTISING?
Advepta.sur -.. ho

AdveftisinE was born
as buncombe and grew
up to be Truth.
Way back in the early
days 1T was thought
necessary to exaExerate
in an advertisement and
to be as spectacular as
possible. All adyertise-
mentS used superlntives.
People were fooled. But
they couldn't be fooled
more than once. SO
they began to expect q
thing to be half ms good
as 1T was advertised to
be.
Then. after a while,
and slowly but surely,
advertising evolved into
plain statements Of the
truth about what was
being offered for sale.
So, today, honest bus.
inesses make their pub
lie statements-theif ad.
vertisements-with seri.
Ousness and sincerity,
and they are accepted
with confidence and
faith BY the public.
When u store like this

new PARIS COUPLE
PLANTS four TREES
TO HONOR VETERANS

Proposals to plant trees along pub
lie highways as a living memorial to
veterans of the World war have arous-
ed favorable comment wherever the
projects have been mentioned.
Mr. and Mrs. Reed Mikesell, of New
Paris, O., have written the following
letter to the press:
Reading of the efforts that are be-
ing made to plant trees as memorials
along highways for ex-service men
we concluded that we were not too old
to do our bit, SO We planted four trees
in honor of Clarence Teaford, a boy
who was at our house often when a
lad. and who gave his life on the bat
tlefield of France: one for Walter Cob
lentz. and one for Russell Miller, over
seas veterans and one for Charles
Brawley, who did service in the States
Some are advising the planting OF
walnut SO that those who travel the
highways could gather the nuts, but
how long would it be before limbs
would be broken by people throwing
clubs or climbing the trees for the
nuts!
I'VE planted maple and ash. both
of which make a pretty shade and in
the fall when they put on their lovely
colors, what could be more beautiful .
Now We hope that other farmers who
have a few rods along the highways
will plant tree or two in memory of
some ex-service man, Lest We For
get
Mr.. and Mrs. Reed Mikesell."
