The acknowledgement Park.

Congress now has before it bill
known as the Barbour bill, that pro-
vides for extending the Sequoia Ma
tional Park in California over wide
stretch of magnificent wilderness to the
eastward, ending at the main ridge
Of the lofty Sierras and including the
slopes of those mountain giants, Mount
Tyndall and Mount Whitney.
The Sequoia Park is one of the most
interesting reservations in the country;
t includes and preserves the most re-
-narkable forest in the world. Many
n the giant sequoias approach three
hundred feet in height, and some eX
:eed thirty feet in grth. The largest
e them can scarcely be less than four
thousand years old. They nave stood
here in their mountain fastness since
he days when Abraham went forth
:reat people. They were mighty trees
When Troy fell, and perhaps were as
arge as they are now when Rome was
quilt. The dozen separate "groves"
Sequoia Park are wonderful places
o visit. No other form OF life is so
IMPOSING to the sight and so impressive
o the imagination as those remarkable
trees.
The park is also famous for the
grandeur Of its peaks, its canons and
IS waterfalls; and the proposed ad-
iition, which will increase the area
from two hundred and fifty-two square
miles to eleven hundred contains
beauties of the sort that are even more
striking. The enlarged park would be

Paid $3.50 for Three PINS of LIQUOR.

Paid $3.50 for Three PINS of Liquor.
On March % when John Walter, IT.,
OF Hanover, Pa, bought what il was
represented to be a can holding 10
gallons OF good, old liquor and is al
legged to have paid $3.50 for it, he was
actually paying at the rate OF Sl2O a
quart for the liquor, for the can only
held one quart and one pint. What
there was Of the liquor was good.
Another chapter in this liquor story
was written Thursday, when Squire
L. d. Sell received a telegram from
Irwin Fairbie, Chief of Police of Shen-
andoah, Pa, who said he had arrested
Charles Halal and was holding him for
the Hanover authorities. Halal is the
man, it is said, who made the deal with
John Walter. After he discovered the
deception, John swore out a warrant
before Squire Sell, charging Halal
with obtaining money under false pre-
tense, Since then, March %, Halal
has eluded the officers, but was finally
caught late Thursday
The game that Halal is alleged TO
have played was this. Taking a TO-
gallon can it is supposed he removed
the top, placed a funnel that fitted
inside the can and to the funnel spout
soldered straight tube. The can, be-
low the line of the funnel-rim, was
filled with water. The funnel and tube
were filled with liquor Then the top
was replaced
Approaching John Walter, Halal, it
is alleged, offered to sell the liquor for
$3.50, or SIS gallon. John inspected
the can. He looked inside and saw
the liquor, then ran stick into the
can which went into the tube below
the funnel. The trick can was clev-
erly made. Apparently the can was
filled with liquor which. after taste.

Cutting OFF the Engine.

While riding on a train recently,
William Wrigley was approached by
a man who addressed him:
pardon me, Mr.. Wrigley, but do
you know you're wasting a lot of mon
ey?"
Mr.. Wrieley, always anxious to learn
anything about his own business, ask
ed in return, How"
"Why, in Advertising" the man re-
piled. "Your product is so we'll known
now you don't need to advertise"
"My good man." Mr.. Wrigley an
swered, "do you know what would hap
pen if we were to cut the engine of
from this train ?"
"The train would coast along awhile
and then stop, suppose"
Exactly" replied Mr.. Wrigley, "and
that's just what my business would do
il ! cut off advertising. Advertising
is the engine that furnishes the motive
power for my business"

larger than they are today. All an

OF huge stature. The mythology of
the Greeks, the legends of the lost At

and general is the tradition of phys-
lcally greater race on this earth. Sacred
history also in such story as that of
David and Goliath points in the same
direction. The tradition must rest on

MEXICOSECOND
IN RANK AS BIG
OIL PRODUCER
Output Increasing as De-
yelOpments Extend Over
Country.

NEW YORK, April 11-Mexico Is to-
day the second largest oil producing ma
ton in the world according to figures
published by local oil companies. The
United States has first place.
Oil production in Mexico is increasing.
As against the 100000 barrels produced
in 1917. 16S,54O,OOO barrels were produced
in 1920. The 1921 figures, while not yet
tabulat,d, it is estimated, will show a
considerable excess over the previous
year; notwithstanding The enforcement
of the New Mexican tax law, which
went into effect July /, 1921
For several years now America has
been importing oil from Mexico~tO make
up the excess Of domestic consumption
over production, trade statistics show, in
1916 the United States produced 0O,167,
15S barrels of oil and consumed 31S,599,
600 barrels; in 1917 production was 3d..
31j,601 barrels. and consumption was
81, 736, 600 barrels; in 1918 production
was 355 927, 716 barrels, as against con-
sumption of AIS, 477, 900 barrels; in 1920
production was 433, 402, 600 barrels,
against consumption of 513,1S6,000 bar
rels. During 1921 it is estimated that
close to 10000, COO barrels were imported
from Mexico, although the productions
had increased 100000 barrels over the
year 192O.l
Oil experts believe that the United
States soon will have TO face a consump-
ton demand Of from COG, 900 to 70O.-
100000 barrels of oil in view of the fact
that battIeships, merchant marine and
lighting and power plants are being con-
verted into oil burners. The extra oil,
these experts say. will have to come from
Mexico.
