SNOW JAM AT MATAWAN


MATAWAN, Dec. 30.-This bor-
ough is still struggling through the
snow which fell Thursday night and
Friday morning. The trolley a of
the Jersey Central Traction Com
pany is only operating up to the
Rivoli theatre which is not quite half
way through the borough. The
snow is packed so tightly to the rails
that it is likely it will be several
days before they will be dug out so
the car can run the entire length of
the borough.
Yesterday the children, congregat-
ed on the Ravine drive hill and un-
til a late hour last night spent their

PARIS ATMOSPHERE
FOUND IN PICTURE.

"A Rogue's Romance" which will
be shown at Washington Theater on
Thursday night is filled with the at
mosphere of gay Paris. Its cafes, its
night life, its Bohemian existence are
all caught by the camera. Even Earle
Williams and Rudolph Valentino be-
come distinctive French types in this
story of famous French crook who
did more good than evil and who aided
the police. The we'll known resorts of
Paris are pictured, depicting the gay
night life, and Rudolph Valentino does
an Apache dance which would do
credit to Paris itself.
Much of the French atmosphere is
preserved by art titles with the streets
of the city and its famout haunts Wis
ible in the background. Paris famed
in song and story has been caught by
the eye OF the camera and brought to
the theater in "A Rogue's Romance"

Somebody asked me what had been
done about the coal shortage. It may
have been Freddie. At any rate be-
cause the departn Mt of commerce
and labor at Washin ION realized that
a strike might occur and had warned
the public and made a study of the
coal stocks each month, there were
larger stocks of coal on hand when
the strike came, than ever before.
What about the farmers?" asked
Freddie.
Freddie, the Administration found
the farmers in a bad condition in
March, 1921, because they were unable
to get credit or find a market for their
products. Hundreds of little banks
had loaned the farmers SO much
money, and, the farmers being unable
20 pay 1t back, these banks were in a
terrible fix. The war Finance Cor
poration was put into effect again and
It wasn't long before $3.50 100000 Of
Uncle Sans money was loaned to the
farmers to see them through their
troubles. This brought farm prices up
about 20 per cent, saved hundreds of
the banks and put the whole farming
ection of the country back on much
firmer basis.
in other words, Freddie" said
Uncle Ted as he arose from his chair,
there is no section or part of our
government but where the Republican
administration has accomplished some

as usual they were not agreeing any
too well. Freddie had said that after

to do this, that and the other, no one
had shown him where they had ac-

all this Jack had replied, talk is

house and when we are ready for bed.

won't have any more to say"
1t was all fixed up and before many
hours our little friends were gathered
around Uncle Ted as he began his
story.

been done at Washington by the pres

facts that It is hard to know where to

OIL NOTES.

Oklahoma produces more high grade
crude petroleum than any other single
state in the Union. The latest official
figures indicate an output of more
than 100000 barrels a day.
The oil industry was founded In
1859 with one producer and maxi
mum output of 25 barrels day. At
present there are $4,000 individuals
and companies producing oil and the
average daily output les nearly 1,500,-
900 barrels.
Only 16 years ago the maximum
daily capacity of the oil refineries of
the United States was $4,000 barrels
Today the refiners have no difficulty
in handling upwards of 100000 bar
rels day.
