gineer H. S. Wagner of Akron, who

ment.

beaches, bath houses, picnic shell

The Cozier Wood Container COM
pany, with headquarters in Cleve-
land, will reopen their branch fac
tory in Caldwell some time this
summer, according to word re-
ceived from officials of that COM
pany.
A car load of new machinery is
enroute to Caldwell and it was ex-
pected to arrive this week for i'm
mediate installation. The factory
is located in the old car barn on
Miller street, owned by Clyde Rob
inson of the Stafford community.
Formerly the Cozier Wood Pack
age company, the plant has been
standing idle here for several
months. This was due to the sud
den termination of the war, at
which time the plant was turning
out ammunition boxes.

PhilO Coal Company
Buys Oglevee Farm

E. r. ED" OgleVee has sold his
farm of 164 acres near Cumberland
in Noble county to the PhiIo Coal
Company which exercised an op-
ton to purchase, given some time
ago. The Oglevee farm, formerly
owned by the late H. H. Oglevee
and willed to E. R. Oglevee is one
of the most fertile in the commun-
ity.
With one exception, all of the
farms on the creek in this section
of the county have been sold for
strip mining operations, the coal to
be used by the Ohio Power Com
pany.
The fertile Beckett (Milhone)
farm of 260 acres has also been
sold at what is said to be very
large figure.

STAFFORD OIL
FIELD ENDS AFTER
DRILLING SPREE
Rock Pressure Gone
And Wells Coming In
Dry To Kill Boom

The Stafford oil boom has come
to a sudden close of operations
after one of the widest spreeS in
the history of this section, with the
coming in of dry wells north, south
and east of the town. Located on
the edge of Noble and Monroe
counties, Stafford has occupied the
spot light for several months.
Wells were a dime a dozen and
sprang up like mushrooms.
Now comes the big headaches
among operators who have spent
around $150,O0O and have drilled
some thirty wells. Nine of these
were dry and several more nearly
dry and will be abandoned.
This pool was confined prin-
.cipaIly inside the corporation of
Stafford and has become about ex-
hausted. Wells that have been
drilled for some time are becoming
exhausted and new ones coming in
show that the rock pressure is
gone.
It is believed that had about
four well have been drilled the
right space apart, the pool would
have continued to produce indef-
initely.
But Stafford has been like a
mad house with machines being
thrown in against each other with
probably just a fence line between
them. This was a contractors para
disc with thirteen machines in
operation a few weeks ago.
In the opinion of interested oil
and gas operators, it is doubtful if
more than three or four of these
wells ever. pay out.
So fades the golden dream of
many and several months hence, it
is said that Stafford will return to
normal by-gone days with perhaps
her only bid to fame as that of the
last resting place of Mrs. John L.
Lewis.

COzIER PLANT WILL REOPEN SOON:

All the lumber which was stored
in the plant for this use has now
been sold at inventory sales and

the installation of the necessary
machinery.

Summerfield, is treasurer of the
company. Announcement that the

MORE STUDENTS WANTED

In spite of soaring enrollmentS
in most studies, there's one field at
Ohio State university which can
accept many more students-dairy
technology. One of only three such
schools in the nation supplying
most of the dairy industry's need
for highly-trained men, this de-
partment at present has only about
one fourth of its quota of students.
The university predicts a serious
shortage of such dairy technolo-
gists in the next few years, unless
more young people become inter
ested.
