of no better material is raised cor
rectlv with fairer chance in life.
The Y. NJ. C. A. would act for
Providence and make him into the
right kind of man. strong in both
moral and physical being.
There are a few boys and girls
who would rather read. study
sciences and devote themselves with
sports. Perhaps an author, poet or
scientist is lost in them because they
have no reading room, such as the
''Y" could afford them, to study and
read in after.
A stranger, coming into the city
to take a position that has been
offered him, would find it very hard
to find suitable boarding house
lie would probably have to put up
with all kinds of cooking and bed
rooms, while the "Y" could offer a
nice lodging at very reasonable
price. Let US suppose the man has
no hope of employment. He could
easily get in touch with the "Y- NJ;
C. A. Employment Bureau" and
they would try to get him a posi-
ton.
But do not think that the Y NJ. c..
A is for boys only. The girls have
practically the same advantages as,
swimming pool reading room. victro-
las to play and many other things to
do. When a girl has nothing to do
at home and is tired of staying In,
how nice it would be TO go to the Y
NJ. c. A. and there have pleasant
evening with her girl friends in girls
club room.
Therefore / think the building Of a
new Y NJ. c. A in Alexandria will
mean a great thing to all Besides
being a benefit to Alexandria it will
show the citizens of other places
that we are not in hut but are
progressing as fast as any commun-
ity, and have something to offer our
citizens They think we have no

hut we will show them we have by
building the Y. NJ. c. A. which will
he stepping stone to other improve
ments for Alexandria, for the ''Y''
will bring to our city uniting of all
of our citizens in a common cause,
that of Greater Alexandria.

as one Of the worlds most impor-
tant oil regions"
Several wells are in process Of
drilling. A base camp has been es-
tablished near Loanda. A large
quantity Of drilling and other equip-
ment has been accumulated and de-
velopment work is now being
pressed with the utmost speed.
The original concession was
granted to the Angola company sew
cral years ago, but owing to the lack
of capital and inability to obtain
material during the war, little prog
ress was made. The Angola CONE
pany became affiliated with the Sim
clair Consolidated OH corporation in
september, 1919. Under the permn-
nent and consolidated" concession
which has Just been formally pro-
mulHated by the Portuguese governs
mont. the Angola company has the
exclusive right "to select without
limit within the original boundaries
of tho concession all lands that geo.
logical studies or further prospect
Ing shall indicate are probably oil
fields The company has the rlgh.
TO exploit such lands for an unlim-
tied time and TO remove therefrom
al oil and gas that they may yield.
Selections must be made before
1886.
All the oil rights Of the province
arc the property Of the government
and not OF private owners, so that
tho company'o arrangement with the
government gives It's exclusive rights
without conflict with private owner
ship OF lands. The company is free
from all burdensome taxes and re-
strictions on the importation Of ma
terial for operations and from OK
port duties upon oil which Il may
produce or refine. The potential oil
field covered by this concession ex-
tends 500 miles north and south
along the west coast OF Africa In
the province OF Angola and the oil
deposits In no case extend moro than
so miles inland. The oil region is
crossed by an operating railroad eX-
tending from Loanda toward the in
terror and by several navigable
rivers, the chief OF which is the Gu
anza, which is comparable with the
Susquchanna in size and navigable
for 100 miles Much of the drill
ing equipment has been moved on
these waterways. Because OF the
light rainfall and open, grassy
plains the area IL exceptionally
healthful, and there are no topo-
graphical obstacles TO the Transport

Kansas city Entertaining
oil Men in Great Shape

Kansas city is 20 be commended
m the brand of hospitality It is eN-
tending the oil men and their wives,
tbe latter being much surprised at
receiving any sort OF hospitality
aner being notified that this was
strictly "a business meeting.
The ladies' are being shown the
most lavish hospitality, and are max
Ing the most of IL, and as usual are
rigeIng IN q few OF the home folk
Who are not interested IN oil. II
must be costing the Kansas City
people about $40 a day to feed these
eytIa ladies', but so far there has
been no sign OF complaint from the
Kansas city crowd.
Kansas city had a way of dlsarm-
ing criticism when she remarked:
"You people have all the oil men in
the world right in Tulsa" and this,
OF course, IL really spoken in good
faith, and therefore 1t makes It a
little difficult 10 work off any sar-
casm ON Kansas City as an oil town.
President Nicholas of the Mar
keters association, IN answer to a
question, stated: you know we
would be mighty glad TO come to
Tulsa" meaning himself and Secre-
tary Grant, amy time you send for
Us. We are always willing TO help,
and n there are any problems facing
the oil men of Tulsa, we will come
Immediately, or we will come when
invited, problems or no problems"
From present appearances, the
next meeting of the National Petro-
leum institute IS likely to be held
in Tulsa. This meeting Will be in
December and can easily be accom-
modated here. Secretary Bob Welsh
should be notified that Tulsa will
not take mo" for an answer, and
that II is all off with the National
Petroleum institute as far as this
town Is concerned 81 he does not
lead his cohorts this way for the
next meeting. IL Is the natural place
FOR a big convention of this kind,
and 10 is really pathetic, as Bob
Welsh says, you know. we just love

women"
