Our statistics are compiate up %
July / . 1928. We have tabulafed all
the leading of fields which 20 thar
date had produced five billion OF
the total Of "a billion barrels Of
oil produced In the United States
since 1870 None OF the fields @re
abandoned. It Is safe 10 assume thai
they will produce for many more
years but we cannot estimate that
figure.
The average recovery per acre IL
the leading Fields Of the United
States Is 42.068 barrels per acre
Figure the oil worth 81 per barrel
and the average acre has produced
S42, 06S worth OF oil.
That figure is pushed up By three
tremendous fields.
spindletop, Texas. 1851 Dbl. per
aors.
Santa Re springs. Calf. 1o5.as4
Dbl. per acre.
Long Beach. Calf. iss.aas bbi,

Eliminate these and the average
is 16.7es. That means e2s,7es.00

Reduced to our own basis OF fig
uring. the average one per cent
royalty on one acre has paid

We ordinarily buy royalty At
from SO cents TO $40 per one per

The lowest figures we lad we're

Had we kept the highess returns,
however, the average one per cent

BOY HAMMERS
DEADLY BOMB .

Darn tough when a fella can't
play with a loaded 10-pound aerial
bomb without police coming along
and taking his toy away from
him.
That at least is the sentiment
expressed by James r. Carroll,
jr., II, of 81 Randolph Pl. N. W.,
who yesterday caused several po
licemen to recount their gray
hairs after seeing the lad pound
ing on the bomb with a hammer.
The boy told police of the Sec
ond precinct he found the bomb
on the grounds of the Mckinley
Manual Training High School,
Belief was expressed the bomb
was wartime souvenir.
Comparison will be made today
with another bomb which was
found on a vacant lot across from
the Senate Office Building sev.
eral days ago by a tourist. The
decorating head in each instance
had been removed, although the
bombs are both said to be fully
loaded.

Republican leaders of the

Unless this action is taken at

The gathering called by Repre-

chairman, and Representative
Wood (R0 of Indiana, secretary,
is to name Republican candidates
for Speaker, floor leader, clerk
of the House and postmaster in
the session beginning next De

While there is no opposition to
Speaker Longworth or Republi-
can Leader Tilson, western Pro,

was named as the Progressive can,
didate for Speaker in the La Fol,

"a caucus is a secret meeting
at which all those attending it
are considered as bound by its
decision. The evils of the caucus
system became so unbearabIe
