CONSTRUCTIVE OIL POLICY.

Predicting that the United States will maintain its
eminent position in oil, Edward o. Finney, first assist
ant secretary of the department of the interior says
The government desires to cooperate with and assist
american oil men in every possible way"
Further says Finney the people are taking advan-
tage OF the leasing law of February, 1920. He pointed
out that in twenty-five months there have been fled
between 1000 and 1900 applications for permits
and leases in eighteen states and in the territory of
Alaska To date, he said, nearly 5,coo prospecting
permits have been issued. as well as $50 leases to pro-
ducing properties, on which there are some 500 oil
ard gas wells.
IL Is absolutely essential that in a nation of oil users
sucn as ours, the oil industry be afforded every oppor-
tunlty to expand and develop without unnecessary
legislative and governmental handicaps and restraints.

ing out a perfect article
Is In a way unfortunate,
inasmuch as he has no
control over the final
step in manufacture the
making of the coffee In
the home. The very fin
est coffee, unless it is
made correctly, will not
produce a beverage that
is worthy of the effort
put forth by the manu-
Acturer, and the money
expended by the pur>
chaser. It is, however,
a matter of great salts
faction manufacturer
Priding himself on the
quality of his product,
that the public is today
becoming aware of this
factandis devoting more
care to coffee making.
1t has been definitely de-
termined that the best
way to prepare coffee
is by the French Drip
Method. This is where
boiling water is poured
over the cofeeand drips
into another receptacle.
AL restaurant urns are
made on this principle.
Agood FrenchDrip Pot
can usually be obtained
in any store carrying
kitchen utensils, but if
your dealer cannot sup

to fill your order.
Although thisis thebest
way, very good coffee
can be prepared by the
following method, using
a heaping tablespoon Of
coffee to each cup of
water.
Into an ordinary coffee
pot or sauce pan, meas
ure the desired amount
ofground coffee andadd
water; bring to a boil,
stir thoroughly. then
take from the fire. Its
most important to do
this, for continued boil
ing causes the flavor or
aroma to escape and
leaves a drink that lie
bitter and unsatisfactory.

water is removed from
the fire will help to set

ONE MORE INFAMY ADDED

Washington D. C.-Political prison
ers whose wives and children are pick
citing the White House to secure their
release will be penalized by the Ad-
ministration. Their cases will be
held back by the Department of JUS
tice until all other cases have been
reviewed and sent to the President
with recommendations for or against
reduction of sentences to peace
time basis.
This direct threat has been offici-
lily conveyed to the leaders of the
Children's Crusade in an effort to
force abandonment of the picketing
campaign, which daily is placing the
Administration in more uncomfor-
table position. If any threat could
accomplish the purpose of those who
made it, this one was calculated to
do So
The brave reply of the Children's
Crusade has been given in a continu-
alton of the picketing without let up.
When the question was put to them,
the crusaders showed no hesitation.
The implied promise of early and ia
vorable action on the cases in which
they were most interested, if the pick
eting were dropped, caused no waver-
ing. The unanimous decision was to
"go on until all are out"
The fact that the Administration,
in its effort to check the picketing
well in advance of the Congressional
elections, has been reduced to ex-
treme measures of this sort serves to
convince the leaders of the Crusade
that the public pressure upon the
President caused by the picketing has
been far greater than is indie ated by
tie Administrations outward attitude
of indifference.

ALMONT SCENE OF BIG
GATHERING JULY FOURTH
The Gunnison Empire.

The Gunnison Empire.
The Gunnison and, Crested Butte
Odd Fellows and Rebekahs were hosts
July 4th at Almont, to some 600 peo-
pie who gathered there in response te
an invitation from the members Of
this popular lodge, to come and be
merry. g..
Games were staged and many
stunts put on which afforded much
amusement for the onlookers.
A ball game was started and was al
very interesting point when the loss
of three balls in the river and the
knocking of the cover from the rest
brought the game to close at the
md of the fourth inning when the
score stood to in favor of Crested
Butte.
The tug of War between Crested
Butte and Gunnison Odd Fellows was
also won by the Buttes team.
Bruce Palmer won the sack race,
and the spud race was won by the
little daughter of R. S. Logan.
Then there was the pie eating con-
test, and this was followed by nail
driving contest for the ladies, this
latter affording much fun for the
spectators.
A game of Quoits was watch ed with
much interest, as this diversion has
but recently been taken up here.
A three legged race was also on the
program, but we were unable to get
the winners in many of the numbers.
The Declaration of Independence
was read by kev. Jones. DIR. Quigley
was the main speaker of the day and
delivered splendid talk.
Everyone was asked to bring along
his lunch basket and fine picnic
dinner was spread about noon.
The Normal people had prepared a
fish fry and it was said 300 trout
were fried for the visitors, so that all
who wished them had fish to eat.
A special train of seven cars was
run from Gunnison and they were all
as heavily loaded as could possibly be,
besides numberless autos also carried
passengers.
The day was ideal and Beautiful
Almont was never more attractive
than on Tuesday.
Dancing at the Pavilion drew many
of the young folks.
The crowd fingered till the shadows
fell and then many remained for the
dance in the evening.
Thus came to a close one of the
most successful affairs staged by the
Odd Fellows and the hope that it be
made an annual affair was heard on
all sides.
The lodge members of both towns
were voted clever hosts, who afforded
a happy day for many people.
