KENTUCKY'S OIL
OUTPUT INCREASING
This State is Rapidly Com
ing to the Front as a
Steady Producer

Kentucky's crude oil production. in
stead OF diminishing as many have be-
lieved, IS Increasing by leaps and
bounds, according 10 the quarterly re-
port OF L. +. Loomis, Secretary OF the
kentucky oil Mems Association, COW
ering the FIRST three months Of 1922.
AS proof OF this, the output for Feb
ruary exceeded January by more than
5000 barrels, while March showed an
increase OF more than 10000 barrels
over February
The report reveals the fact that
during the three months a total OF o.
15b,76l.27 barrels was produced in the
state, which had market value Of
s4,3s5, ,S62.06.
II this rate OF production is main
tained--and weii-posted oil men here
believe that It will be increased with
the extensive Developments planned
for the coming spring and summer
and more favorable weather for drill
ing operations-the States production
for 1922 viii not be far from 10000 :
900 barrels, valued at between s20,-
600 900 and s25,000,000.
Lee county, with it's famous Big
Sinking pool, which Is regarded as
one of the most productive In the mid
Continent field, leads the other oil
producing counties Of the State, with
total production OF S93,7l0.66 bar
rels valued at sl,s4s,o74.22 for the
quarter.
Warren county, in the Western Ken
lucky field, holds second place, with

Negro Sent to Pen
From Louisa Hid Himself

Frankfort, KY, April 25.--Julian l..
Dale, negro convict, sent up from
Lawrence county for five years for
storehouse breaking, who has been
missing since Friday morning, was
found hiding under the floor Of the
prison shoe shop inside the compound
early today.
He had had nothing to eat for more
than four days and was so weak when
a guard discovered him that he was
unable to speak.
Dale apparently had secreted him
self Thursday night He was missed at
roll call Friday morning. The prison
and the compodnd were combed but 1t
was not until about 8 o'clock Monday
night that any trace Of him was found
when Guard w. T. Webb saw him eau
tiously emerge from his hiding place.
Apparently he saw the guard and
hastily crawled back under the shoe
shop floor No immediate search was
instituted but this morning about day
light Guard Chappell explored the
space under the structure where Dale
last had been seen seized him and
brought him out.
1t is certain that he has eaten. moth
ing since his last meal in the reform
atory. Specializing on whether he might
have secured water, guards say it is
possible that he may have been able
to enter the shoe shop at night for a
drink.
He was sent up for robbing J. Is
ralsky's store in Louisa.
The Louisa Jail was guarded all the
time Dale was in it for fear he would
escape as it was realized he was ar
experienced criminal and was very ex-
pert in his line. He was taken tc
prison in February.
