A number of smaller gushers we're
struck during operations there since
1880. In the same year a German
American company was formed In
Munich under the name OF "Bavarlan
Mineral Industry" with share capital
of $4,000. The company acquired eX-
elusive concessions to undertake borings
in Southern Bavaria.
Entirely different, however, is the sit
uation in the northern part Of the coun-

solely on the strength Of the discovery
of an allegedly huge subterranean oil

The bulk of the company's shares
amounting to $4,000, was sold in small
portions to residents within few days.

Trade With Russia

one or the most significant things
about recent developments on the
stock market is the fact that at least
part of the optimism displayed in
Wall Street is reported to be due to
a belief that trade relations between
the United States and Russia are
about to be very materially improved.
There is no question but that the
overwhelming majority OF Americans
have very scant sympathy for the
Communistic experiment in Russia.
But there is, at the same time, no
question but that the huge orders
which Russia is placing with foreign
manufacturers these days would do
American industry lot of good.
II the nation is at least on the
verge Of realizing that the Russian
market ought to be cultivated, it is
small wonder that Wall Street feels
that better times are ahead.

Snow at 5000 Feet

Those aviators who make daily high
altitude flights to get the dope on
the weather seem to have some odd
experiences now and then.
Ralph Wenzinger, who makes such
flights for the weather bureau at
Cleveland, had one of them not lone
ago. He went to an altitude of 5000
feet on a hot summer day-and ran
into the heaviest snowstorm he had
seen in more than a year!
On the ground everything was sum-
merry, and not flake got down to
where earthbound mortals could see
it. But Wenzinger, a mile and a half
off the ground, was fighting a Jan
uary blizzard; and he had to 60 up
to 10000 feet before he could get out
into summer weather again.
The moral of all of this seems to
be that if you have an airplane YOU
needn't worry about hot weather. You
can find your own snow by going up
far enough.

Beware of Fire

Farmer readers Of The Tribune
suggest that some warning ought to
be given against the possibility of
disastrous prairie fires this year.
Without question, the suggestion is
timely. Farmers and others in posi-
ton where fire might do them harm
should waste no time in preparing
their defenses against the ravages of
the red monster, for conditions are
unusually favorable for serious con-
3lagrations.

prairie fires, many years since a fire
of the proportions which the early
settlers knew has been reported. But
there is little except the forethought
Of our citizens to prevent one now in
many areas.
The usual practice in fighting
fires, as many will recall, is to lay
the groundwork for a backfire. The
necessary blowing will take relatively
little time and probably will mean
that much of next years work done
in advance.
This year it also may have an
other value. Grasshoppers now are
laying eggs and if they are plowed

tating swarm of insects next year

would seem that as much blowing as
possible should be done this fall.
