WILL BOND DRILLERS

All companies and individuals
drilling for oil on proven state
fields in the future will be re-
quired to post $4,000 surety
bonds, according to action TAX
en- by the state railroad and
public service commission. One
$4,000 bond will cover any COM
pany in the state, and will pre-
vent financially unsound COM
panies from leaving open wells
after development work, it was
said.
In the past, the board said,
the state has been required to
cap open wells abandoned after
unsuccessful development work.
Requiring the surety bonds will
eliminate many "wildcaters" and
will protect the state and the
oil industry, the board said.
Chairman Austin B. Middleton

L L EVERYBODY:

II ELLO, EVERYBODY:
L l. Distinguished dventurer Graham Babcock of Pater-
son, N. j., takes the Adventures club rostrum today, and
Graham wins ten bucks because he wouldn't take another
fellows advice. If he'd done what that fellow told him to
he'd have had no story to tell us today. But Graham paid
no attention to that fellow, and the result is one of the most
thrilling, blood-curdling adventure yarns I've seen in a
coon's age.
1t was in August, 1913. Graham was just seventeen years
old, lived in Suffern, N. Y, and spent his spare time hunting
in the Ramapo mountains, in season and out. At the time,
hunting was out of season, so Graham carried his rifle in a
gun case and took along a fishing basket, just in case he
happened to meet up with a game warden. Game wardens
can put you in the jug for hunting in August, but there's no
law against fishing for minnies at that time of year.
Graham started out up the tracks of the Erie railroad and walked
as far a the Ramapo crossing. From there he planned to cut into the
mountains, but the crossing tender, a old friend of his and an old-imer

Graham U~nknowingly Walks Into Nest of Snakes.
But Graham had seen ratlers before and he wasn't afraid of them.
Whenever he'd come o them they had always wriggled out of sight
as fast a they could. He forgot, though, that a nest of ratlers in the
late summer season might actually be LOOKING for trouble.
Graham climbed up the side of the hill and walked along a ridge
of a small cliff. There wasn't a ratuer in sight, and he began to think
he must have passed the nest the crossing tender had spoken of. He
saw some berry bushes a few yards away and set his gun and fishing

Supreme War Council was reported
today to have decided to give all

Firms in their stand against Russia.
Prime Minister Chamberlain, who
has been in France inspecting British
troops, attended the meeting. Pre-
mier Daladier also attended.
The war councils reported decision
to aid Finland was in keeping with
the League Of Nations resolution con-
demnlng Russia as an aggressor, and
calling upon League members to give
the tlnns material and moral assis-
lance
On the western front, military dis
patches said, a French patrol made
daring daylight raid several miles
within German lines to defeat a Nazi
detachment and carry off its tour Of
ficers. The French patrol left its ad-
vance post in the heart Of the Vosges
forest and slipped by German posi-
tons until they encountered the Nazi
detachment, the dispatches said.
After a sharp engagement, they made
their way back to the French lines.
