Line Greatly Relieving
Situation in Transport
tation Shortage.

Luling, Tex, Aug. 23.-The field
line of the Magnolia Petroleum Com
pany is reported today to have been
completed and is already relieving
the, tense shipping situation in the
field. This line is already removing
oil from storage tanks from wells
OF the United North and South Oil
Company and officials of the Mag
nolia Petroleum Company have an
nounced that they could care for
nearly all of the fields present pro-
duction If necessary.
The field line connects with the
wells in the producing area of the
field. and runs for about eight miles
to the cOmpany's topping plant locat-
ed about one mile east of Luling
between the $. A. & A. p. and the
:. T.. railroads. On the site the
Magnolia has constructed three 5o.-
0G0-barrel storage tanks, two 10000
barrel tanks and has n number under
construction which probably will be
completed shortly.

Of the United North and South. This
well came in during the first part of
last week and was partly pinched

morning it is reported TO have filled

one hour and nine minutes.
Lack of transportation facilities

been serious Car shortage was re-
ported by the National Petroleum
Company. the Mutual Pipe Line Com
pany. Elliott Jones and the Grayburg
Oil Company as being the cause of
delay in shipping Luling crude. The
Magnolia Petroleum Company's new
field line which will carry several
thousand barrels of oil daily is al.
ready beginning to relieve the situa-
ton. The oil is being pipped to the
company's topping plant east of
Luling. Shipments of oil will be

encouragement has been quietly given
to those institutions which have car

Substitutes, Are Boosted,
The prejudices against soft coal
have been in large part removed. les
timony showing that scft coal can be
obtained in humps lot larger than hard
coal and that other substitutes cheap
err than hard coal can be effectively
used is being distributed by business
organizations in the hope of killing
once and for all the strike fever in
the anthracite coal trade.
The government estimates that an
addition of only 10 per cent of the
soft coal supply will have to be mined
in order to take care of nearly all
the anthracite coal needs Of the coun-
try. This is taking into consideration,
of course. the fact that many people
already have large supplies of hard
coal in their cellars. Also it takes
into account the existence of plen-
tiful amount of soft coal in excess
of the ordinary needs of the industries

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
MAKES BIT HIT
1.-THE GYPSY ROVER"

Once more the young people of th'
High School, under highly efficient
coaching, have demonstrated thai
they can put on as good an enter
tainment, as pleasing and charming
as the average foreign" troupe that
comes along. In their presentation
OF the Gypsy Rover they scored a
triumph second to none that has
been presented by local talent in
recent years.
The solo parts were well taken
and the choruses were rendered in
faultless style. The work of Nancy
Harris, Hollace Arment, Frederick
Shawhan, William Hall, William
Shamberger, Phyllis Shadoin, Phyllis
Dunnick and Keith Anderson, in their
solo roles deserve special mention.
The spoken parts were equally well
done, the impersonation of Lord
Craven, the English fop, by Cecil
Mullen evidenced unusual ability.
Not only was the audience pleased
and entertained, but these young
people have derived from such work
an added ability to appear before an
audience with a confidence and ease
that means greater efficiency in
public life than would have been pos
sible without such training. Who
will say that training along this line
will not have more effective and
far-reaching results in actual life af-
fairs than memory work which gets
good grades but lacks application in
everyday contacts. The schools do
far too little of this kind of work. 1t
is much more important that the
school should give its pupils ability
to write well, simply because people
talk more than they write. Success IN
life and in business intercourse often
depends upon ability to speak well
and with confidence and ease. Yet
the schools make a great deal more
fuss over the misuse of a comma
than the mumbling speech, the alb
sence of sure self-control and yocab-
u1ary as bare as a bone which are
characteristic of altogether too many
public school graduates. The plays,
operettas, literary programs and class
debates now being given in the
schools will help remedy this de-
siciency. Confidence necessarily pre-
cedes accuracy and this sort of train
ing begets the needed confidence.
Altogether the operetta was a
great success and many were the ex-
pressions OF satisfaction, approval
and appreciation by the audience.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

What is it? 1t is an organiza
tion of veterans of the World Wal
who fought in the armed forces Of
the United States. 1t is a great
honor to possess the qualifications
for membership. At the National
Convention in San Francisco in Oc-
tober a large body of young mel
and young women who did not
possess the qualifications required
tried to have enacted a law which
would allow them to become hon
orary members. The number OF
American Citizens who can join is
becoming smaller every year.
What is it for? It's main object
of 1907 Americanism. They are
now over a million strong organized
to fight anybody or anything which
in un-American. The rehabilitation
of disabled comrades is another
main object They see that they
are treated if sick, fed if hungry,
clothed if cold, cheered If discour-
aged, introduced if unacquainted,
employed if idle. Anything the ex-
soldier wants that he hasn't and if
ne is worthy and entitled to it, the
combined strength of his buddies
will produce for him. Community
is one main object of
the organization. Its motives and
objects are unselfish in the highest
1egree-they do things.
Payette's Post of this organiza-
ion the John Webster Rhoades Post
is planning big things for this Com
for 1924. They have numer
1us community and county r/ans
which are not yet made public. A
club house and auditorium is
1ne of the things on the program.
Also plan for the best full years
schedule of clean fun and sport that
has yet been inaugurated. The 1924
iues are only $500 which entities

5000 MILES
BY OK TEAM

The pioneers of so years ago
crossed the plains to the Pacific
coast by means of OK teams, how
ever not from choice, there were no
other means of transportation To
day with the modern improved rail
equipment the trip from coast to
coast is made with all the comforts
OF the finest improved home and re
quires but cc-1 1-E5 ..me. Yet the
OK team is not altogether forgotten
and on Tuesday the old timers. and
some of the younger generation for
the first time, had the pleasure of
seeing the old OK once more under
the yoke.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. C. Berrang, just
past middle age are making trip
from Worchester Connecticut TO Med
ford, Oregon by OK team, covering a
distance including several detours to
Washington, D. c., Baltimore and
other places, nearly 5000 miles.
Their equipment IS made up of an
cient, and the most modern improve
ment, they carry among their neces-
sary articles in the covered wagon, a
radio machine and phonograph, al
so a pressure cooker. When in
camp the radio receiving head set is
placed upon bale of hay while the
travellers take in the latest news and
the concerts of the world
They seem to be enjoying life and
are making their livelihood by sell
ing photographs of their outfit
which seem to find ready sale to the
visitors who call at their camp. They
are driving a pair of six year old
oxen weighing about 1900 pounds
each. The wagon full Of equipment
weighs 1920 pounds and trailer
1130 pounds. A distance of s to IS
miles per day is covered according
to the condition of the roads, the
pavement however is not just 10 the
liking of oxen, they refused to make
use of the modern highway, and had
to be led into town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mrs. Berrang left
Worchester, Connecticut, on Dec. Ist,
1920, and have no definite time
fixed for reaching Medford. but ex-
pect to settle on a farm and use the
oxen in their farm work as they did
on their farm which they still own in
Connecticut
