According to a we'll known and fairly authentic source, the Standard Oil Company will continue opera tions in the Gold Bay district for .a period of at least ten years. It was also stated that the fact that the company has already drilled two dry
 holes means nothing, for in producing oil fields throughout the world thou sands of dry holes have been drilled, while, sometimes, at a short distance, gushers emit the liquid gold by the hundreds of barrels 1t is also a we'll established fact that prior to the entry into the westward district of the big oil companies, nationally known experts and authorities had visited the district and pronounced that oil was there.

Congress Pleads for Army.

PHILADELPHIA. December 10,
1776.-A stirring appeal for support
for tho Continental Army was issued
today by Congress. 1t was addressed
by "the representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assem-
bled to the people in general and par
ticularly to the inhabitants of Penn
sylvania and the adjacent States. !"
What the address has particularly in
view is mot only to promote unanim
ity and vigor through the whole
States" but to excite the inhabitants
of the section near Philadelphia to an
immediate and spirited exertion in
opposition to the British army that
now threatens to take possession of
this city.
Reciting in eloquent phrases the
causes of this war for independence
and relating with pride the successes
Of the Northern and Southern States
In forcing the enemy out OF Boston
and in preventing them from gaining
foothold in the Carolinas and Vir
ginia, the address urges the people of
the Middle States to display equal zeal
and bravery in order to prevent such
great catastrophe as the loss Of
Philadelphia would be.
1T is certainly needless to multiply
arguments in such a situation" says
Congress. "All that is valuable to us
as men and free men is at stake. 1t
does not admit of q question what
would be the effect of our finally fail
ing. And though blessed be
Cod even the loss of Philadelphia
would not be the loss Of the cause, yet
while it can be saved, let us not, in
the close of the campaign, afford them
such grounds Of triumph, but give a
check to their progress and convince
our friends in the distant parts that
one spirit animateS the whole"
Today's address will be followed to-
morrow by a resolution addressed to
the States, urging them to appoint a
day of fasting and humiliation ito inn
plore of Almighty God the forgiveness
of the many sins prevailing among all
ranks and to- beg the countenance

but he wanted to get another good
meal before he went to bed. But he
yawned more and more. Peter, follow.
ing along behind him at safe dis
tance, heard him yawn, and every
time he heard him yawn Peter
laughed down inside. 1t really was
funny. Buster would yawn and then
would grumble.
After a while Peter noticed that
they were gradually getting deeper
and deeper into the Green Forest.
He wondered if Buster was going back
10 the den he had used for several
years. But Buster wasn't, for the
very good reason that Mrs Buster
already occupied it. Peter didn't
know this. SO he was a little sur
prised when they reached the lodges
where Busters old home was and
Buster merely stopped to look over
there and sniff. Peter looked over
there. He knew just where that cave
was in the Lodges, and he saw that all
about the snow was perfectly smooth.
There were no tracks there You see,
Mrs. Buster had gone to bed before
know this and he was surprised when,
after standing for Il few minutes
with his head swinging from side to
side. Buster, grumbling more than
ever, started on again. Buster tray

ther, and if he doesn't go to bed by
that time Eli just have to give up
1t was just after this that Buster
Bear stopped. There was a great
windfall there. You know a windfall
is where a lot of trees have been
blown over and have fallen in a great
pile. Some Of these trees had fallen
across a ledge of rock which stood
high above the ground. In this way
they made a sort of cave. Peter saw
Buster go in underneath the fallen
trees. Then Buster came out. He
looked this way and he looked that
way and he looked the other way, and
he grumbled and he rumbled. and he
rumbled and he grumbled, and finally
he went over to a young hemlock tree
and broke off some branches.
Now, what is he doing that for?''
muttered Peter to himself, seeing
there was no one else to mutter to.
Buster raked the branches toward the
opening under the windfall. With his
big paws he raked them inside. Pres
emily he came out and got some more
and did the same thing. All the time
he kept rumbling and grumbling and
muttering away to himself. He was
making his bed. At first Peter
couldn't think what it meant, but after
little he understood. Buster Bear
was making his bed.
IT do believe" thought Peter. that
this is where he is going to sleep all
Winter. There must be lot of dry
leaves in there, but he Is going tc
make sure of having the right kind OF
bed. I wonder IL he'll go to bed to
night and not wake up until Spring.
Presently Buster Bear came out
once more and sat up. He looked very
| tall and big and black against the
| white snow. He tested the air with
his nose. He wrinkled his lips as he
still grumbled to himself. To Peter
that made his face look very unpleas
ant, because 1t showed those big teeth
| of his. Then, after look this way
and a look that way and look the
other way, he once more disappeared
| inside his home. Peter heard him
| sigh several times. Those sighs were
| long, heavy sighs. He heard him
rustic the leaves as he twisted anC
| turned to make himself comfortable
Then, though Peter waited for long
time, he heard nothing more.

Housekeeping and Home Making
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

out being an expert housekeeper. The
| reverse is equally true. woman
may be competent housewife and be
! lacking in the essentials of the home
maker To run a house well there
must he a combination of both of
these elements. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that it takes ability 10 per-
form the task The woman who can
do it successfully deserves the high
rank accorded her. 1t is no easy job.
Home Making.
or the two things home making is
and should be recognized as the higher
work. II calls forth all the mental
faculties. for tact is needed to make
the wheels of life run smoothly. The
ability to understand the various
points of view of the members of the
family is needed. To this must be
added concessions to those views
whenever it is wise, and guidance into
other paths when the outlook is
wrong. The uphringing of children is
a work in itself. but it comes under
the term home making, for 1t is the
children themselves who form
mighty factor in the home. They
need to have their minds as well as
their manners trained besides having
kept good What is more. they must
be comprehended in order to be
guided without being either spoiled,
uuelled or treated with condescension.
The husband must have a soothing
atmosphere to surround him if his day
has been arduous and he comes home
weary and nervous. All these things
a home maker has to see to-and they
are but fraction of her work as
home maker, and none of them comes
under the heading of housekeeping.
Housekeeping.
It is when we come to cleaning,
baking. sewing making beds, clearing
up rooms, stocking and replenishing
store closets, the pantry, the linen
closet, serving the right sort of meals
at the right times. arranging rooms,
etc, that housekeeping enters into
home making. These are things that
every woman. who runs a house or
the smallest of small apartments,
should be able to do efficiently.
Competent Housewives.
Any woman who really wishes to be
a competent housewife can learn to be
one. Some wives learn in a very short
time, others are longer acquiring the
knowledge. That housekeeping can be
learned is appreciated, for there are
courses in the subject in colleges and
even in what are termed finishing
Gchools," for it is known that even to
lirect servants successfully one must
have knowledge of their requirements.
Pleasure In Work.
It requires technical skill to be a.
good housekeeper. 1t takes under
standing. wisdom and love to be a
real home maker. To run home well
is an absorbing work that is not
minor but a major task, with pleas
ures all along the way.

/ Very early one morning when the

out on d mudflat just a little way
from the sheltering grass of the
marsh. He didn't go so far but that
he could run back in a jiffy. Right
away Danny noticed u number of
| little holes. They were nowhere near
as big holse as Fiddler Crabs dug
over in Crabtown, but they were
holes that some one had made, and
very much aroused.
Peep the Sandpiper came running

"If I wait, will it come out?"
Danny demanded.

Danny. 81 guess a great big worm
must have made that hole. Still,
when the water comes in, the worm
would droWn. / wonder If I could
dig him out. have a notion to Try
Yes, sir, l have notion to try"
Danny leaned over and tried to
look down that hole. but he couldn't
ssee anything. He was still doing this
and wondering what could be down
in that hole, when suddenly a stream
of water hit him right straight in
the eye. Yes, sir. Danny got an eye
full. In fact, he got both eyes full
1t was salt water, too, and it made
his eyes smart. to say nothing of the
way it scared him. And that stream
of water had come right straight up
from the hole Danny had ben look
ing down in.
From the shelter of the 'grass on
the edge of the marsh Danny watch
ed those holes. BY and by Tattler the
Nellow-Iegs came walking along.
When he stepped near one of those
holes Danny saw stream of water
come up. Tattler didn't pay any at
eention. He just went on about his
business. He seemed TO take it as
matter of course. But Danny was
fairly burning up with curiosity.
What could have made that water
