OIL BOOM DAYS IN
MEXICO ARE OVER

! BY FREDERICK G. NEUMEIER
! Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
TAMPICO, Mexico (By Mail to
United Press )-On boom days in
Mexico are over, in the opinion of
American oil men here, as a result
of finding emulsion and water in
the Toteco-Cerro Azul pool.
Oil industry In Mexico has entered
the period of stabilization, American
oil men say.
"The time has come when the
same group of capitalists controlling
several subsidiary concerns will quit
duplicating plants and develope on
la cooperative plan" A resident
manager of one of the largest or
ganizations told me.
"The prospective oil production in
Mexico is absolutely unknown, but
there is every indication from a geo
logical point of view that it will still
maintain it's lead as one of the great
est oil producing countries of the
world.
Future production of oil in NIeXi-
co will not in all probability be of
a spectacular kind"
Oil men here pointed out, how
ever, that there is no reason why
the development in the Mid-Con-
tinent field in the United States, be-
cause practically the same organiza-
tions are working both fields.
Tampico. as a result of the new
developments in this field. has reach
ed the end of its mushroom growth
in the opinion of the Americans
here. From this time on, ii is eX-
pected that this city and district will
develop along more conservative
lines, with agriculture being an inn
portant factor.
This development along agricultur-
al lines will also affect the Americans
in this district, because of the fact
that probably as high as thirty per
cent of the land holders between this
city and Monterey along the railroad
lines are Americans.
The finding of emulsion and wa
ter in the Totcco-Cerro Azul pool
will probably mean a decrease of ap-
proXimatcly 100000 barrels in the
monthly production of light crude
beginning about September /, oil
men estimate. 1t also means, it is
said, a decrease of approximately
fifty per cent in the oil tax receipts
by the Mexican government.

contractor, who played 81 holes in one
day, spending l l and IL hours in con-
tinuous play.
At the finish, Mr. VelGurh was ap-
parently as fresh as when he started.
But his caddie, Bobbie Wizard, one
of the huskiest lads at the municipal
field, and his only companion, was
almost in state of collapse. 1t IS es-
timated that during his nine times

A called meeting of the Club was

witches, ices and home made cak will
be served.
The regular meeting of the Club
will be held at the Community
House on Thursday the 31st at 10:-
80 a. m. This is an important
meeting as four voting delegates to
the Convention in Shepherdstown,
September 12-14, will be elected at
this meeting. All members of the
Club are expected and requested to
attend the Convention. They are
also invited by the President of the
Woman's Club of Shepherdstown,
Mrs. VIM. B. Snyder, to attend a re-
ception given the delegats on Thurs
day evening, September the four
teenth.
A tea will be given the visiting
delegates to the Convention by this
Club on the afternoon of the thir-

Town, through the courtesy of Mrs.
John Briscoe, one of the Club men,
bers.
On that same afternoon the visit
ing delegates will be met at Hare
wood by Committee from the
Charles Town Club and will proceed
from there to Claymont Court by
Mordington to the residence of Mr..
VIM. B. Packette (the spot where
John Brown was hung) then to the
Court House and to ST. Hilda's Hall
winding up at the Charles Town
Inn for tea. They will be entertain
ed at supper by the Woman's Club
of Harpers Ferry.
The Efficiency of the Federation.
Go into any small American town,
and in half hours survey you can
tell where there is a club in that
town by the evidence of its activity.
You will discover it in the appear
ance of the public square, in a
library or an art gallery where you
would never expect to find one, or
rest room for the farmers wives.
And all the male citizens will be able
to tell you of how such public con-
veniences came into existence, is
that the Woman's Club did it. If
the men helped at all it was only BY
doing, willingly or unwillingly, what
the women told them.
Some of these community house
keeping accomplishments of local
clubs are so interesting that it could
be only fair to stop here and recount
some of them, except that for wom-
en- readeres it is not necessary.
Perhaps the most remarkable
thing about the whole movement is
the way in which the clubs federated
themselves some twenty-odd years
ago. 1t would pay any politician
to make study of the Federation
machine, for, compared to it, most
mems organizations are clumsy and
inadequate. Mems organizations
seldom function except in the pres
ence of a crisis. But the Federated
Clubs, like Tennyson's brook, run on
forever and forever, and are exactly
as efficient on the second Wednes-
day in April as the first Tuesday in
November.

ENDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Charles Town Citizen.

The public endorsement of local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better none strong
er can be had. When a man comes
forward and testifies to his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he is
thoroughly convinced or he would
not do so. Telling ones experience
when it is for the public good is an
act of kindness that should be APP
preciated. The following statement
given by resident of Charles Town
adds one more to the many cases of

partment and the agriculture de-
partment are advised that those who
exhibit three or more articles will be

THE BOWER.

On the banks of the Opequon,
Amid great Oaks it stands,
Like the Feudal Castle
We read in other lands.
The stiffness is unbroken
Where the moonlight loves to play,
And amid its silence
Fond memory holds its sway.
We can hear gay Stuart's laughter
From his bivouac there,
And the strains of Dixie
That float upon the air.
We can see white canvas cleaning
Down the Sylvan Street
And hear the shouts of laughter
To those he loves to greet.
And amid the dance and music
Ringing through the Hall
Comes the winding Of the bugle!
The soldier knows the call.
Oh! the Bower, Oh the Bower!
Nature has painted Thee
Under her Blue, Blue Canvass
Under the Old Oak Tree.
