WINCHESTER. Va, August 2.--With
no relief from the present drought in
sight the churches of Winchester to-
day planned union service here TO-
morrow night at which time prayers
and supplications will be offered 10
God to break the worst drought in the
history Of this section. In the mean

regulations as regards use of fairways
and local officers pronounced O dearth
Of noonshine liquor caused by the
forced closing down of numerous Illicit

ceased to run.
All Asked to Attend.
Tomorrow night union services will
be conducted in the Market Street
Methodist Church and every church
asked to attend. Rev. George w.
Slower Of the United Brethren Church
will lead in special prayers for rain.
Similar services have been announced
by many county churches in this
vicinity.
Frederick and Clarke County farmers
began filling their silos today with corn
that has prematurely dried up. This
operation usually does not start in this
section until September /. A shortage
of hay crops has made it paramount
that the siloS be utilized TO their fullest
extent by scores Of dairymen in this
vicinity.
The winchester Golf Club today an
nounced that they would enforce
Winter rules as regards players on the
fairways due to the grass on their
beautiful course having become but
parched brown sod.
Few Stills In Operation.
Many raids for moonshine liquor have
been conducted into nearby mountains
by local officers with the result that
only small amounts of mash have been
found. Oficers state that the drying
up of mountain streams has kept the
moonshiners from distilling the mash
and that the business has practically
become defunct in this section.
Heavy rains have appeared so miles
south of here, however, Northern Viz
GINA, embracing the counties of Clarke

chester and adjacent West Virginia,
including the counties of Hampshire,

Which Meet New Safeguard"
Requirement.
~ the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, August A bulletin
issued today by the State Banking De-
partlnent disclosed that six stock ex-
change Arms, including j. p. Morgan &
Co., had posted 500 900 each within the
past week as q Safeguard" required
under an amendment to the State
banking law adopted by the last Legis-
lature.
The posting Of the fund was recon-
mended in an Interpretation Of the law
which the New York Stock Exchange
sent to all Its members recently. The
amendment was adopted after the
failure Of Clarke Bros bank last year.
1t provides that private bankers trans
uniting sums OF $500 or less, OF paying
interest to depositors on any deposit
balance of less than $500, are subject
to it's terms. and in some instances
must deposit with the State Banking
Department 100000 in United States
Government. New York State, or au-
thorized municipal bonds against fall
ure or suspension.
The Arms listed as having deposited
the naeney within the last week were,
IN addition to the Morgan company,
j. and ". &eligsaan q Co, Goldman,
Sachs q Co., A. Iselin Il Co., Ki9der,
Peabody Il Co. and Laidlaw d Co.
Thomas Cook d Sons, a private bank
ing firm not a member of the stock
exchange, also made a 500, 600 deposit.
Observers believed that If all stock ex-
change members coming under the
amendment complied with its provisions
more than $50, 600 900 worth of bonds
would be withdrawn from the market
and deposited with the State superin-
tendent Of banks.

OIL FIELD STUDY
TO Be LAUNCHED
Hiuh Government Officials to
Visit KettIeman Hills,
Calf, This Week.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
broad study of the incorporation
plan of oil field development and its
utility toward conservation of the Ma
tons gas and oil supply Is to be
launched this week by high Govern
ment officials ct the Kettleman Hills
field, Calf
Under the plan production costs are
prorated among the holders in pool
and receipts proportionately divided.
Oil Is produced only when there is
market for it, as opposed to COMPETE
tive production.
DR. George Otis Smith, director of
the Geological Survey and a member of
the Federal Oil Conservation Beard, is
en- route TO the West Coast to join Sec
rotary Wilbur, who has been In Califor-
mia for several weeks.
Ely to Participate.
Northcutt Ely, executive assistant to
the Secretary, now in Denver, where he
has studied oil shale reserves, also will
participate.
Authority was given the Secretary,
under Legislation enacted in the clos
ing days of the recent session Of Con-
gress, to enter the incorporation plan
OF production. LeSsees and permittees
of Government lands are also empow-
cred to enter the cooperative agree
mentS.
Private operators of the Kettleman
Hills field have outlined unit-opera-
ton plan. without cooperation of the
Government, which has 80 per cent of
the holdings however, It could not be
consummated. Secretary Wilbur has
expressed confidence that the plan can
now be brought to Alfillment.
Counsel Of Coolidge.
In setting up the Federal Oil Con-
servation Board late in 1924, President
Coolidge said, Government and bust
ness can well join forces to work out
this problem Of practical conservation !"
He emphasized that under the leasing
and royalty practices then obtaining It
was impossible to conserve oil in the
ground il q neighboring owner or lessee
desired to gain possession of his de-
posits.
The board, OF which Secretary Wilbur
is now chairman, after studying the
problem for several years, found that
the urlit-operation plan seems by COM
mon consent to have commended itself
more than any other"
Permissive legislation was requested
by the Secretary upon recommendation
OF the board.
While the Government cannot insti-
tute the plan among individual pro-
ducers throughout the country, and can
apply 1t only to its own holdings where
private operators sharing in the pool
join willingly. Wilbur expressed the hope
that it would be generally adopted.

5-Day Applications Decided
When WiggIers Appear
in Road Water.

On side table in the ONCE of Lieut..
Col. y. s. Grant Sd, director of public
buildings and public parks, there stood
yesterday half pint milk bottle
about three -fourths full of clear, but
brownish-colored water In which were
swimming several thousands OF tiny
creatures that resembled tadpoles-
about one-fourth of an inch long. The
bottle and its contents were the center
Of attention OF many persons who en-
tered the office.
Tied over the top of the. bottle was
a piece of fine mosquito netting. Close
inspection disclosed that there was a
small insect buzzing around inside just
above the water.
Pressed for an explanation, r. T.
Gartside, chief of the park division,
said that the water, with the tiny wig
glers In 1t, was obtained from q road
catch basin between the corner of Sew
enteenth and B streets and the Wash
ington Monument the evening before.
The water in this catch basin had been
treated with oil only 10 days before.
The sample In the bottle was obtained
by j. Z. g. Kinsella, supervisor of mos
quito control in Col. Grants office.
Buzxer Former Wiggler.
The buzzing insect in the bottle was
a mosquito that had emerged during
the night, having formerly been one of
the thousands of wigglers in the water.
Mr.. Gartside said that originally the
instructions had been to treat road
traps and sewer traps in the park sys-
tenn with oil every 10 days.
The discovery Of the wigglers, which
were In reality mosquito larvae, In the
catch basin near the Monument re-
suited yesterday in the issuing of an
order from Col Grants ONCE to spread
a film of oil over these bodies OF stag
nant water every five days during the
remainder of the mosquito season.
1t takes two days for the egg laid by
a MOSQUITO to hatch and reach the

has become a larva. Four days after
