OIL CUT
nv FIELD

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, May
2D.-P-Unprecedented steps have
been taken by Oklahoma oil oper-
ators to remedy overproduction In
Greater Seminole field. the states
flush area.
To curb production to $500 900
barrels q day for the state, Great
er Seminole operators have reduced
their output from Is to g per
cent. Each company makes affi-
davits OF Its decreased runs to d
field umpire.
A six-day week. an innovation In
the oil industry, has been tried by
q dozen companies with successful
results. Operators have found hat
shutting down for one day, general
ly Sunday, does not retard the oils
flow or injure recovery.
A l2-hour day and seven-day
week has been the past program in
most oil fields. This schedule still
exists outside the Greater Seminole
area and In wells which show wa
ter with oil Some companies have
kept the seven day program, but
work eight hours instead OF II.
In no instance has pay OF en-
ployes been reduced because OF
shortened hours.

Curbed Production
OF Oil Is Meeting
With Some Success

NEW YORK. May 20.-LF1-De-
spite the fact that the total petro-
leum production of the United
States Is expected to reach a new
record above 500. 000. 900 barrels. the
trend of daily average output in
dicates that efforts 10 reduce pro-
duction to the level OF demand are
meeting some success.
A report OF the United States bu-
reau of mines shows that the excess
Of output over demand the last year
was considerably below that Of 1927
with tibet exception Of January and
the latter part of December.
This may be ascribed 10 increased
demand, the 1928 domestic require
ments running well above those OF
1927. but 1t Is also the result, to some
extent. of the fact that during the
first half Of 1923 daily average pro-
duction was held TO 1927 levels.
IL was only after July when new
and flush pools were brought in that
daily average production really ex-
ceeded that OF the previous year.

TRUSTS

NEW YORK. May 20.-CPEThe
latest authoritative surveys show
there r 1913 investment trust COM
panies and kindred organizations IN
the United States and Canada to-
day. They represent a combined
capital exceeding 81, 500, 00O. 900. and
the amount is increasing monthly.
Twenty-six Of the companies are
engaged in financing and other &C
ttvities which might take them
out Of the class Of ordinary invest
ment trusts. OF the remaining l72
concerns. 1l9 are OF the general
management type and 80 Of the
specialized type. The remaining q
are Of a different structure, set up
under indenture agreements. with
trust company trustees and called
the cnntractual type.
The aggregate value or all stocks
and bonds listed on the New York
stock exchange Is almost 100 times
the present total holdings Of in
vestment trusts. Converts TO the
trust idea therefore are saying that
the surface has only been scratched
and that there Is q wide area for
expansion.
Some well informed persons in
the financial district predict that
the next step win be the merger OF
existing trust companies into larg-
er organizations, and so on.

BUSINESS WORK
IS GIVEN HERE
Commercial Training Said
Excellent For High
Graduates

With the public schools out for
the summer months. now is an op-
perfume time for the graduate to
broaden themselves with a CONNER
cial course. q. w. Moothart M.SCl
head Of the Valley Business college,
states. "A commercial course IL the
thing for the students. whether they
expect to continue on In school or
to enter the business world, he says.
"A student who has taken only
academic courses finds himself
handicapped when seeking employ
ment. In this day, business cxecu-
tives take 1t for granted that young
sters seeking employment have had
training IN business colleges or their
equivalent in the public schools"
Moothart says.
"As for the pupil who would con-
tinue In college after high school. a
commercial course in between the
two aids remarkably. This in-be-
tween work broadens the student
with only an academic viewpoint
and helps him IN the selection Of a
LIES work to which he Is adapted.
The business college work Is often
found to be q strong ground work
for those who plan to seek a Bust
ness Administration degree from a
university.
Shorthand, typewriting and
other things learned at the business
college gives the pupil advantages
In studying the lectures In univer-
stiles. The manner of teaching in
the average high school and univer-
sity represents an abrupt change.
Unless the pupils are prepared to
take full notes from the university
lectures, they are likely miss a
number of important parts. With
business cvollege training this be-
comes easy"
With this training one can also
earn their way through higher in
situations or learning, Moothart
points out.
The college here. located at sO8
Elizabeth street. Is offering special
short summer courses. These are
arranged so that the pupils can
complete them within two summers.
There are days and night classes.
Another line of instruction prov
ing popular here. is the prepara-
ton for civil service work. Young
men and women are prepared 70
take the tests Of the u. S. for posi-
tons in its many departments
through this course.
Moothart states that the demand
Of local interests for business col
lege graduates Is greater than his
institution i able TO supply.
Moothart has spent a life time I'm
educational work. having been con-
nected with public schools over a
loEg span OF years. He was presi-
dent OF an Oklahoma junior college
at one time.
The commercial school here Is
fully accredited by other institutions.

Prescription He Wrote
in 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine. back in 1875, the
needs for a laxative we're not as
great as they are today. People lived
normal. quiet lives, ate plain, whole
some food, and got plenty OF fresh
air and sunshine. But even that
early there we're drastic physics and
purges for the relief of constipation
which DR.. Caldwell did not believe
were good for human beings to put
into their system. SO he wrote a
prescription for a laxative to be
used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup PepSin, is a liquid vege-
table remedy, intended for women,
children and elderly people, and
they need just such a mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
PepSin.
Under successful management
this prescription has proven its
worth and is now the largest selling
LIQUID laxative in the world. The
fact that millions of bottles are
used q year proves that it has won
the confidence of people who needed
it to get relief from headaches, bill
iousness, fatulence, indigestion, loss
of appetite and sleep, bad breath,
