Patents Modelling CLAY

A patent for the Yellowstone mod

from the government patent office at
Washington, D. C. The clap is used
in the making of flowers, plaques, or
namental picture frames, book ends
and many other art novelties. The
feature of the clay which makes it
very adaptable to this work, accord
ing to Mr.. Shook, is the fact that it
will adhere to any surface, wood,
metal, glass or stone, and will not
crack, peel or chip off.

Stops Free GASOLINE

Miss Alice NJ. Woody, Missoula
county auditor, has clamped the lid
down upon the motor hobo" He can
no longer get free gasoline and oil
from the poor fund. In many counties
the officials would rather supply the

oil than to pay his board bill, but
Miss Woody refuses to do either.
Recently she was appealed to for aid
by a family whose head said there
was nothing to eat at the house but
potatoes. The auditor inquired how
the family came to the courthouse
and was informed that it's members
had ridden down in an automobile.

With the st. PauI-AIOntana well
on the Cox farm, four miles north
of Shelby, sprOuting a volume Of
gas claimed to be the largest ever
encountered in the KeVin-Sunburst
field, operators see possibilities Of
the greatest extension ever added
to the fields oil producing area.
The gas was struck at 1854 feet,
supposedly in the Sunburst sand,
and the Ellis, where oil production
is possible, is approximately 40
feet below the present bottom of
the hole.

from Is, 100000 feet daily upward,
but at this writing has not been
measured. Operations have been sUs-
pended until the flow is brought IN
der control. The drilling tools were
Jared off the bottom and a cOnsid-
cradle distance up into the hole by
the tremendous pressure.
Much excitement has resulted in
Shelby from the St. Paul-MOntana

regarded by operators as good and

WITNESS TELLS
HOW AKRON BUS
SYSTEM FAILED
Hearing Adjourned by Com
missioner Till Satur-
day.

Although recent motorization of
all transportation in Akron, Ohio,
was a filure, combination of street
car and busfeeder service has been
satisfactory, Ernest V. Atchley, of
fetal of the Akron street railway,
testified today before the public
service commission as a witness for
the Indianapolis Street Railway
company in its fight against motor
buses.
Atchley said bus transportation
caused terribly congested traffic.
Cross-examined by James w. Noel,
counsel for the Peoples Motor
Coach Company, Atchley admitted
that traffic in Akron during the bus
regime was no worse than that at
Columbus Circle. New York City.
said to be the busiest spot in the
world.
Atchley told Commissioner Clyde
H. Jones. presiding, that the Akron
Railway Company is now operat
eighty-five feeder busses, in addi-
ton to the regular street car serv-
ice. He said the feeder service has
proved satisfactory.
Commissioner Jones adjourned the
hearing until Saturday, in order to
attend to other affairs which have
been allowed to lag because of the
time consumed in the local trans
portation fight. He said the hear
ings positively would be completed
Saturday noon.
