Supplying Gas
By Truck Loads

The field plant Of the Absher
Refining company is now supply
ing gasoline by tank trucks to
several Of the towns about the
oil field, according to j. O. Alb
sher head Of the company.
The field plant is located on
the main field road at the point
of the branch line to Kelvin. The
plant has a capacity of 12H bar
rels an hour, and is turning out
a superior grade Of gasoline. The
only difficulty has been that there
is a slight odor to the gasoline,
all 0 f the sulphur having not
been elimated. The company
chemists are now working out
the best system Of treating the
gasoline to climate both sulphur
and the odor and the gasoline
will then be of high grade.
The company plans to build
two or three more plants in the
field. These will be located where
they can take the oil from the
wells and sell fuel oil or exchange
fuel oil for crude.
The sales organization is now
being perfected. Tank trucks
now serve towns as far east as
Lothian and include Shelby and
|Sunburst. The distribution will
spread to include Sweet Grass on
the border.
The field refining system being
used was perfected by Mr.. Alb
sher and makes use Of the in
coming crude j n the place of
water usually used in refining.
The crude is raised to the tenn
perature of $50 degrees before
it reaches the furnace and the
greater part of the gasoline is
out of it before passing into the
furnace.

18TH YEAR

A copy of the Bedford (Pa.) Gazette
under date of December 18th has just
come under our notice. 1t contains
report of the 18th anniversary of
the pastorate of Rev. ]. Albert Eyler,
St. Johns Reformed Church, Bedford,
Pa. The article says:
"The old saying that "time flies"
was brought home to thes members
of St. Johns Reformed Church at
Bedford on last Sunday when it was
recalled that their beloved pastor,
Rev. J. Albert Eyler, had served
them for fifteen years, period longer
than that of any other pastor since
DR.. Ellis N. Kremer was pastor here.
"These have been very prosperous
years for the congregation in things
both material and spiritual. They
have been years in which Rev. Eyler
had always unselfishly and willingly
devoted himself not only to the work
of his own denomination, but in aid
ing anything that stood for the NOR
al uplift or for the betterment of the
community, and in everything worth
while for both town and community
and in doing this he gained, also, the
love of those of the community out
side of his own congregation.
"While time flies in the passing of
days and years, yet deeds done and
things worth while that have been
accomplished remain to bless or to
condemn, and what joy it is to look
back and see the noble accomplish
ment of love and of ones best effort
over a period of fifteen years.
"On last Sunday morning in mes
sage which Rev. Eyler brought to his
people and at which time he had an
unusually large audience of his own
people, he used as a texta the text
which he used the very first sermon
that he ever preached to the people
of St. Johns fifteen years ago."

MAY INTEREST TRAPPERs

A report, in the Baltimore Sun, from
Easton, Maryland, regarding the trap
ping of muskrats and the selling of
their hides, says in part:
"Trappers of muskrats, as we'll as
the buyers of skins, are somewhat per-
picked over the condition Of the mar
ket for hides. Buyers in Talbot coun-
ty are offering $1.50 for the very best
hides and the others are bringing
$1.25, or at least this is the sum
offered.s
"But the trappers as a whole are
not selling, according to one of the
principal dealers, believing that these
prices are not in accordance with the
market. While the law permitted the
trapping and gigging of muskrats be-
ginning with January 1, there has not
been seen a muskrat in Easton up to
the present time. Heretofore the
butchers and grocers have had them
for sale, and they are bought readily
by many people, who prepare them in
many homes similar to terrapin.
''The cause for the aloofness of the
trappers-is the postponment of the big
sale at st. Louis from February until
April. Heretofore the February sale
has been a standard governing the
prices of hides, and the trappers and
buyers easily adjusted the standard to
be paid for all grades of hides by this
big sale. Now that the sale has been
postponed until after the law stops
the trapping, the dealers and trappers
are at odds as to the prices.
talbot county has many thousands
of dollars worth of muskrat hides ev-
cry season, but those caught at the
beginning are of inferior grades on ac-
count of the rats being young and the
fur not fully matured. The largest
sales made here in former years have
been in the month of February, when
the hides were of greater value and
the market stabilized. This year, how
ever, this has all been changed and the
business has been thrown on a purely
speculative basis.
dealers say the Maryland skins are
more valuable than those from Della
ware or New Jersey. They sank sec
ond to those of the middle West where
| the best fur is found"

TWELFTH NIGHT

Saturday, January 6, was Twelfth
Night" the end of the Yuletide holi-
days, the Feast of the Epiphany, and
the Bean King. Festival. In America
the day means little, but in many of
the European. countries, and especially
in England, it has been the occasion
for popular celebration from time i'm
memorial.
Originally the day was the Feast of
the Magi, and celebrated the visit of
the Three Wise Men of the East to
the infant Christ at Bethlehem with
their gifts of gold, frankincense and
myrrh. In western Europe, because
ii fell on the twelfth night after
Christmas, it was later known simply
as "Twelfth Night"
The festival is one of the oldest in
the Christian calendar, being first
mentioned in history in the year 1914
A. D.
To the average man, Twelfth
Night" Immediately recalls the name
of Shakespeare, because he wrote a
comedy to be performed as part of a
Twelfth Night celebration, and gave
he name to the play itself.
The Bean Kings Festival, which
falls on the same day, is an old folk
tradition of France and Germany
where a cake was baked each year
with one bean inclosed. When the
cake is cut the person who received
the bean was crowned king for year.
