Not luck, but necessity, brought
about the development of the Kelvin
Sunburst oil field. There have been
many stories about the beginning OF
the Tooie county oil development,
but this is the true story, as re-

trict who were driven by necessity
to replace rusting binders With oil
derricks.

A RECORD LOAD

There have been many instances
wherein trucks have been pressed into
unusually hard service, but one day
last week Edward Phillips, of Elkton,
driving a big White truck, gave a
mighty good example demonstrating
the reason why shippers are turning
to motor transportation rather than
waiting for slow freight. Mr. Phillips
hauled an 1000 gallon iron tank
from BALTIC. to Chesapeake City with
ease and dispatch, and among expert
enced truckmen, that is no small feat.
The huge tank was consigned to the
pumping station at the latter place.
1t measured % fit. in length over all
and was 10 ft. in diameter.

He is surely fitted for the work as he
has both the ability and patience to
teach the blind.
Respt. yours,
Walter P. Graham.
The field worker has made further
progress with the public school child
at Stockley and entered another at
the public school in Leipsic, where he
will supervise her work and teach her
the blind system of reading with the
fingers and thus augmenting her edu-
cation.
The concert for the blind will be
given on Dec. 4, 1922. 1t will be the
best ever. Our great pianist, Mr.. E.
A. Vogts, will be with US again with
his wonderful Interpretation of the
old masters on the piano. We will
then present new feature in Miss
Holterhoff now of New York but of
transoceanic reputation. Our own
talented pianist, Miss Marion Bur-
rows, will play and we feel sure will
show surprising improvement. Mr..
Vogts will appear for the first time
as a violinist. He will be accom-
panied by the new Mrs. Vogts. We
feel sure that all will be amply repaid
in very high grade musical presen-
tation.
Through the kindness and interest
of Mrs. dupont and Mr.. w. w. Laird,
a wireless station is being installed
at The Blind Shop for the edifcation
of idle hours of these industrious
workers. 1t is very deeply regretted
that the Commission records show the
death of one of the oldest in term of
service of all its Industrious toilers.
Carroll Day passed away on October
2, 1922, aged 3S years. He had been
faithful worker at The Blind Shop
for twelve years. All his fellow
workers joined in his obsequies.
His Excellency the Governor of the
State paid The Blind Shop visit on
the 9Th inst, with ]. Hall Anderson,
Esq, secretary of The Delaware State
Board of Charities. Our distinguished
guests seemed to be much interested
in our blind friends and their efforts
to rise above their handicap and earn
their living.
The operations of The Blind Shop
were as follows: Six large rugs, 576
small rugs, 400 chairs and 2 couches
recaned and 48 chairs repaired, 50
basket handles repaired and baskets
made, 1856 dozen brooms made, II pi-
amos tuned. The total amount paid
to the blind was 81 1,6S6.3O.-The Della

THE WORK FOR THE
BLIND PROGRESSES

The industry of the blind shows
great signs of activity. In the past
three months half a score of new
cases of blindness who lived in the
black despond have seen the light, and
have passed out of the gloom of in
dolence. Three men and a boy have
been brought to the Blind Shop where
they are making good progress to-
wards a well-earned livlihood. One
boy from Newark has been brought
to the shop and sent to school during
the day while he learns a trade after
school hours, together with the en-
bossed print of the blind. One blind
girl who has been lately stricken has
been taken by our teacher, Miss Bur-
rows, and introduced to all vocations
of the blind. She is bright and active
and is a wonderful prospect for
achievement in her new condition of
life. She will be taught to read with
her fingers, to study music and may
be prepared to return to her sighted
school to take her place among her
normal fellows.
A gentleman of some degree, of
Milford, has been visited by our field
agent and taught the Braille alphabet.
Here is the beautiful letter he writes,
all in the revised Braille type for the
blind. We have sent him plenty of
books and begged him to come and

Stating that Nevada's range land
was its biggest and that 1t
should remain under Federal or State
supervision Vernon Metcalf. secre-
tary of the Nevada Live Stock Assoc
iation, declared In a talk to the mem
bers OF the Rotary Club at the River
side hotel in Reno that this land
should never be allowed to go into
private hands. nor should It be made
a part of a vast reclamation scheme
or converted into National parks.
Basing his statements on an array
Of charts and figures Mr.. Metcalf said
that of the three leading industries
in the State, mining railroads and
live stock. the latter contribute more
to State development and more de-
pend upon it than any other industry.
Mr.. Metcalf said that twenty-one
per cent of the people Of Nevada de-
pended directly on the live stock in
0uStry lot u source Vi uNlHS anu III
summing up his talk declared that at
the present time Nevada's vast nat
ural range could not be
converted to other use that would
be of more benefit to the State or
would give employment to more peo-
pie than by using them for cattle
ranges.
Through the grazing of live stock
100000 tons of forage crops from
the ranges were marketed in a year
while but 100000 IONS of other farm
crops were marketed in a year, de-
clared Charles A. Norcross, who
spoke briefly following Mr.. Metcalf.

MARGOT ASQUITH PROVES
INSPIRATION TO BELLBOY

Chicago, March 11.-When Margot
Asquith came to Chicago she inspired
Mark Nyland to greater things. Mark
has spent thirty-three of his forty
eight years working as a bellboy at a
downtown club. He read how Mar
got got $4,000 a night for her lee
lures, and couldn't see the Joke OF
his $14 a week at the club. So Mark
hired Orchestra hall for March IA.
paying in advance most of the wealth
he had accumulated during his years
OF bell-hopping. Then he engaged a
printer to turn out several thousand
tickets and advertising matter which
announced that he would give a lee
ture on THE Life and Works of
Rube Goldberg" He then began his
sale of tickets. He had a wide ac.
quaintance among club members and
500 disposed of $500 worth. Fired
with ambition, he began a drive to
dispose of the remaining $40, 200
worth of tickets. He discarded his
job. donned a dress suit and opera
hat. Last night he invaded the BAN
quet hall at the club and announced.
What you birds need is a good
literary lecture. You're fat both sides
OF the neck. don't like your city.
The laundry wagons aren't colored
properly. Chicago women have funny
faces. These tickets are SIS each, and
you'll have to hurry"
Then the manager had him cap
tured and taken to the psychopathic
laboratory. DR.. w. j. Hickson dag
nosed his case as "delusions of grand
eur" He did not attempt to diagnose
the cases of those who had bought
the tickets.

John Bryce, in his latest book on
modern democracies, tells of a poor
trash white white man in the South
compelled to work for a prosperous
competent negro. The white man
went to work, but only on condition
that the negro employer should al
ways address him as Boss"
That saved his dignity. Young lad
les of the Lucy Stone League of high
err grade than that sample of poor
white trash need not tie their am
billions to a name as a title that
means nothing.
Let them fight child labor, taxation
of the public by corporations, and
control of government by the same
corporations. Let them compel pub
lie officials to take interest in the fact
that five million men are idleEthe
wealth that they might produce 60

Let them use their votes to COM
pei government to wipe out breed
ing places of mosquitoes all over the
country, or at least near all centers
OF population. That would end ma
laria and put the country ahead sew
