WOMEN DISCUSS CAUSE
AND CURE OF WAR

Representing Is 200 900 women in Sc di fferent
countries the delegates to the Fifteenth Conference
the Cause and Cure of War considered ways and
means of making their influence felt in future in
ternational affairs. For four days these leaders of
eleven women's organizations the Hotel WASH
ington, listened to experts Pan American, Pan
Pacific, and European problems; they discussed the
teciques and methods effective in mchannel ing
information to thier local membership" in the far
corners of the earth; and they took time off one
afternoon to have tea with Mrs. Roosevelt at the
White House.
Among the g eakers on their program were the fol-
fowing Mrs. Franklin De- Roosevelt; A. Az Berle ,Jr.
Assistant Secretary of State; Clarence X. STREET.,
author of "Union Now"; Carrie Chapman Gait; woen
representatives from China HOLLAND, Inda Honduras
Canada.
Of special interest to Greenbelt women would have
been the talk-fest the techntques of group dis
cussions and group leadership, and the story of
economic reconstruction in China by the Industrial
cooperatives which springing up behind the
fighting lines there. The Chinese delegate
ed by MRS. Roosevelt to tell the Conference of the
work of tfese cooperatives in rehabilitating that
War-torn country.
AS ndication of the fact that there is no
provincial thinking going in the feminine minds,
these incidents included:
tobacco growers wife from North Carolina said
that her women rejoiced that England buying
tobacco from Turkey instead of from US, for the to-
bacco farmers needed to diversity their crops and
build up their soil. Zone wonders if the tobacco
companies have that much vision).
Midwestern argued for the Hull Trade
Agreements saying that in the long the farmers
and the entire country would benefit from them.
(The big cattle raisers don't argue that Nay).
If the expressions of these representatives of
$4,000 900 women any indication of why women are
tanning, the had better begin thinking hard
bout BETTER PEACE, for these delegates de-
termned to utilize their "nui if
makers insist upon being unintelligent.
To the several hundred housewives and local club
women, burdened wi tn small family and provin
cial chickering's, attendance at this Conference
like placing powerful telescope to myopic eye.

1T is always safe to say that wei o.
this calibre is a FREAK, especially when
completed in undrained inadeQuately
tested territory. But an east offset to
the No. 3 likewise turned into a flow

the Big West EllingsOn No. 1.
Big West this week brought in it's
second well, one location south of
the No. 1-44O feet away. The No.
came in without aid of acid, like
the ArOnOw No. 3, flowing wei
rated at FIFTY BARRLES PER
HOUR. That is another 1000
barrel well.
The fourth well drilled on this farm
in recent weeks, the MOrton-Shaw No. 4,
is a half mile south of the discovery
well. wet it has a natural production OF
So barrels per day, without acid, show
ing that this is considerable pool
Thus far it is proven a half mile wide
and half mile long, with large wells
likely throughout the area. This pool
now defined is a fourth as large as
the producing area of Cat Greek oil field.
To most people this is merely INTER
ESTING news but to the investor this
has considerable significance. That sig

who has up-tO-date map of Kelvin

1t will be noted that the Ellington farm

other parts of Kevin-Sunburst field,
which can be quickly discovered by look

There is no such thing in our opinion,

that it is another Ellington farm. 1t may
or may not give gushers but If there
is a section or half section that has no
producing wells on it, we are safe in
concluding that it is UNFRAMED.
There is little evidence that this lime
oil travels any great distance. Except for
acid, the EllingsOn No. 1 well might
have been abandoned before now. Acid
jumped 1t from a tiny stripper TO an 90
barrel well, years ago. Yet the acid did

How long viii the "Open spaces be
avoided?
Not for long, when there is a market
for the oil.
1t follows that the royalty investor
can do no better than look up the "Open
spaces and buy royalties with full con-
fidence that he will get a far greater
yield per acre, under modern prOduc-
ton methods, than has been had in the
past.
Despite the wastefuI production methods
of the past this field has yielded more
for royalty owners. The average devel-
Oped acre has yielded over S4,7OO worth
of oil, according TO official state records.

The completion this week of another
flowing well on the Ellington farm in the
Kelvin pool is stiH further proof that
there is a lot of money to be made in
this remarkable field, even though 1t has
already produced $46,OOO,OOO worth Of
oil.
The Ellington farm. located couple
of miles north Of the town of Kelvin,
has been for years i'm the "cOndemned''
area of the field. 1t is true that it had
one producer but that was offset on the
north by a dry hole. 1t was a dry hole
before the days of acidization, although
it had a showing OF OIL But the dry
hole, in the eyes of most people, is more
significant than the producer although
this particular producer has yielded
100000 worth of oil.
The operator did not even think well
enough of it to maintain the lease and
relinquished back the leasehOld rights
save on 80 acres out of $50 acres. The
lease went begging" for many years
and subsequently was picked up by others
with the result that there are now four
operators on the property.
Last December the ArOnow- EllingsOn
No. well was drilled, one location east
of the No. 1 stripper. No geOlOgist in
the world could have advised the location
from a scientific viewpoint. Every loca-
ton I'm the district looks equally good.
To pretend to spot "gusher location" in
Kelvin field is little less than ridiculous.
However, this EIIingsOn well came in
FLOWING WE'LL, while the owners would
have been pleased to have had TO-
barrel well in natural production, giving
the possibility of developing 80 or 60
barrel well by acidizatiOn.
The No. 8 well continued to flow for
five months, being allowed TO produce
less than 100 barrels per day after the
first few moments when it blew itself in.
That IL would produce a lot more was
evident but not proven until the owners
decided to tubing, replacing the
method of flowing through the casing
The well was opened up over night to
get the ''head off''-fIowing virtually
wide open until the pressure dropped
enough to allow the tubing to be In
serted. In IL hours time IL is said to
have produced 800 barrels of oil, and
when the tubing had been run and the
well again connected onto the tanks, Ii
resumed flowing with the same pressure
as before.
Enthusiastically that EllingsOn No. 8 is
one of the best wells ever completed in
the field and were it possible to keep
it flowing with back pressure might yet
set record comparable with that OF
the Baker-Howling million dollar wells"
