A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By s. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

These are the days when thousands
Of young women and young men
are receiving their diplomas from
universities, high schools and other
institutions Of learning.
1t is an appropriate time to recall
one Of Lincoln's observations on
education. In 1859, in a speech
delivered in Milwaukee, Wis, he
said: Educated people must labor,
otherwise education itself would
become a positive and intolerable
evil. No country can sustain in
idleness more than a small percent
age of its numbers. The great
majority must labor at something
productive From these premises
the problem springs: How can labor
and education be most satisfactorily
combined?'
Conditions today mark well the
wisdom Of Lincoln's words One of
our most serious problems arises
from the over-supply of so-called
white collar" labor. There are not
enough young men who are willing
to don overalls and get down to hard
manual labor There are too many
who are willing to sacrifice personal
income for the false advantage of
holding a gentleman job.
1t is not enough for our schools
and colleges to send our young peo-
pie forth into the world possessed of
mere text book knowledge 1t is of
equal Importance that they step into
life's experiences with a deep APP
probation of the honor and dignity
of labor
Not enough Of our educational
institutions are instilling this thought
in their minds, although, happily,
vocational training is making
progress.
From the beginning of the
elementary grades to the very last
day of school life, the student should
be given a deep understanding of the
significance of Lincoln's words
Educated people must labor"
This is one Of the most worthy
accomplishments to be attained
through the teaching of thrift in the
schools For one of the fundamentals
of thrift is an appreciation of the
value of labor

CARRIER AND THOMAS
DRILLING IS ACTIVE

TULSA. Sept. 19.-While Okla
homa production in general is declin-
ing, the CARRIER and Braman-Thomas
areas continue unusually active. Crude
oil buyers in both localities are begin
ming to increase their facilities for
handling of more oil on the basis of
performances to date. Marland Oil
Company is putting in new line at
Braman and the Sinclair and Roxana
interests are enlarging their pipe line
carrying capacity out of CARRIER. Late
reports credit the deep sands at Gar
Der with 81, 5S3 barrels and the regu-
lar shallow sands with 1877 barrels.
The recently discovered 4400-foot or
Belveal sand is still turning out the
biggest production in spite of water
trouble.
Estimates on the CARRIER field as q
result of the deep sand development
are conservatively put at between
100000 and 125,000 barrels. Before
salt water put in an appearance it was
previously placed as high as 10000
to 100000 barrels. The field has prac-
tically been defined on the south and
southwest sides-only the east, north
and northeast directions still remain
ing intact. Still the big play seems
to be in the latter direction.
The latest best CARRIER well was the
Sinclair Oil and Gas Company No,
22-W Kisner in section 1928 west
which started off at $50 barrels an
hour at depth of 4414 feet. In the
first II hours it made 24S5 barrels.
On the theory that extensions will be
found around CARRIER much the same
as were found at Tonkawa, operators
are beginning to play further out for
a continuation of the deep sands. Sin.
clair, Roxana, Cosdcn and Marland
interests control practically all the
proven area of the CARRIER field. the
first named companies having about
6400 acres out of about 10000 acres
in the field.

MEXICAN PRODUCTION
IS LOWEST IN YEARS

TAMPICO, Mex, Sept. 10. - Pro-
duction of light and heavy crude oil in
the Tampico district in July, totalling
S,512, $40 barrels was not only a de-
crease of 1,1S7, 424 barrels from with
drawals the month previous, but was
the smallest monthly production in
Mexico since 1920.
The intrusion of salt water in its
Corcovado holdings was reflected in
the POI, S73 barrel decrease of the
Mexican Gulf Oil company and with
the exceptions of the Agwi (Atlantic
Gulf and West Indies), National Rail
ways, Frecport Sulphur and the Pierce
Oil Corporation, which showed slight
increases, all of the other major COM

BUILDERS PROTECTED
BY CONTRACT BONDS

Construction work had reached the
eighth floor of a concrete hotel being
erected in Benton Harbor. Mich, when
without warning, the building started
to crumble. At the end of three days
nothing remained except a huge pile
of wreckage. Construction errors and
unfavorable weather conditions were
assigned as the causes Of the build
ing's collapse.
A contract bond would have covered
this loss. Contract bonds not only
insure the integrity and ability Of
contractors but also guarantee that
neither human fallibility nor uncon
trollable circumstances shall prevent
contracts from being successfully com.

$4,000 HOUSE COSTS
MAN $500 TO BUILD

A well-known realty man OF Madi-
son, Wis, owned a lot worth $500.
He decided to improve its value and
stability by putting n house ON IL
and contracted for a $4,000 dwelling.
Shortly after receiving the final
payment due him on the house, the
contractor went broke. leaving many
unpaid bills. Material men immea-
lately filed liens on the house to re.
cover $500 due them.
As the realty man had to discha rge
the liens his $4,000 house actually cost
him $500. A contract bond guar
antecing the completion Of the house
according TO tho terms and specifies

HEAVY OIL FIELD
FOUND IN MEXICO

TAMPICO, Mexico, Sept. 10. - A
new heavy oil field less than ten kiloS
west of Tampico has been proven up
by the completion of well No. V-29,
Caracol, by Grady Venable &c Com
pany, for 1900 barrels production at
depth of 2351 feet. The property is
5000 acres in extent and is owned by
the Tampico Banking Company.
Venable & Company have drilled
sixteen tests on the property within
the past four years and until 1925,
had but little success. This year, how
ever, the company completed three
wells in the vicinity of No. 20, for n
total of 600 barrels daily production.
which together with other competitions
has been giving Venable an average
daily production from the property Of
900 barrels. The best well prior to No.
30 was No. V-24, a 400-barrel pro-
Queer but o. feet deeper, while No.
VA. giving $50 barrels, is flowing
from a depth of 26S1 feet.
The new producer is considered a
shallow well for this district known
as the ToDila section, and because OF
its unusual gas pressure of 700 pounds
it is considered an extremely good
well and it is the general opinion OF
biologists that it will flow for n num-
Der of years before going completely to
salt water.
Prior to the completion of No. 20,
all production from Caracol was being
sold to the Mexican Gulf Oil Com
pany. but it is understood a contract
for this new production is being con,
sidered with the Pan-American East
ern which is also interested in the
acquisition of part of the acreage OF
the hacienda as Is the Transcontinent.

In spite Of the fact that Settegast
No. 1, completed at Pierce Junction
for an initial production of 2500 bar.
rels last week, by the Rio Bravo
Oil Company, is now showing about 80
per cent water, it is believed that the
well will settle for u pumper good for
800 or 400 barrels of oil. Just now
the output is between 1000 and 1900
barrels of fluid, 20 per cent of which
is oil.
The Rio Bravo Company holds
leases on 16S acres along the west
side Of the Pierce Junction Dome and
has announced locations for two off
set wells to No. l. No. PIP is to be
drelled 200 feet north and IS feet east
of Settegast No. /, and No. 3 z will
be 800 feet south and 30 feet east of
the discovery well. Work on the
new wells will start Immediately.
CONTROL WELL.
Tho Rio Bravo Company prides it
self on the way in which No. 1 Settle
CAST was completed. Pierce Junction
wells have a tradition for blowing out
and on several occasions wells about
to be completed there have gone wild
and caused considerable excitement as
well as damage. The field has q
freak gas pressure which is sometimes
very high and which shows up in un-
expected wells. However, Settegast
No. / was completed without u mis-.
hap of any kind. The fittings were in
place and the well was under control
all the time it was being brought in.
Humble Pipe Line Company is TAX
ing oil from the Settegast well as fast
as it can be treated.
This well boosts production at
Pierce Junction to slightly more than
1000 barrels daily. Wells on the east
side of the dome have n combined out
put of about 400 barrels.
Conflicting rumors are out regard
ing the recent test of the Retrieve Oil
Company, drilling Sid Westheimer No
l. about seven miles northeast of
Houston. This well tested at 1920
feet, and one report was that a show
ing of oil amounting to probably two
barrels was found along with consid-
eralble gas. Another report was that
the test showed salt water. At this
time the well is drilling below 2600
feet.
The Rycade Oil Corporation recent
ly abandoned a wildcat test further
cast about the same distance from
Houston as the Wcstheimer well. How
ever, the wells were several miles
apart. The Rycade test. Noteworthy
l, was given up as n failure at 400
feet, and the derrick is now being torn
