Many and many a day in wartime
there would be long lines Of people
standing in the street waiting to get

Pershing Had Suite.
Gen. Pershing went from here to
his expedition into Mexico, and we
were ready for him when he came
back to prepare for going to France.
He was our guest with his suite when
he came home victorious in 1919, ana
they occupied the entire third floor,
in the same place that Mr.. Wilson
had had before he went to the White
House. There were continual demon
strations around the hotel while Gen.
Pershing was here. and always
crowds were waiting outside to see
him when he went out. He was espe-
cially fond of children and would PICK
them up and talk to them WneheVer

and this time we were headquarters
for the Japanese. with Prince ToKu-

August. 1914. Cecil Spring Rice, the
British bassador. and Count Won
Rernstorff, the German Ambassador,
had been warm friends before tnat
time and used to come frequently Tor

But after the war was declared tne!

time. Personally, they still We're
friends. but officially. they couid not
recognize each other. So L seated one

tho other at the other end, and there
after we kept a divided house. The
Austrian Amba assador gave Count Won
Rernstorff a dinner the night after
he had received his passports, ana ne
left Washington the following day TO
sail for Germany. And the Austrian
himself was entertained by George
Vanderbilt just before Nanderbllt
died. All the Presidents who have

more than oil It the present mark

Two recent price cuts have reduced
the price Of crude oil in the field to
$1.O5 a barrel and the pipe line car
rying charge to Sunburst is II IL
cents a barrel. No water suitable
for drinking and household purposes
is available in the town and those
who make a business of hauling from
other sources make a charge Of $1.25
a barrel for the water and it's de-

For the average person a bath in
Kelvin or Sunburst is impractical. Or
dinarily it is cheaper to pay for trans

where deep wells furnish the towns
with water. The bath taking prob

however, by partial failure Of the
SWeetgrass wells.

land on which wells can be drilled
will be secured before the end 0i
