To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that I saw a report upon the Chemical Examination and Etc, [mud] from Davis Spr ing. The report was quite favorable as to oil. They reported that there was no doubt oil to be found some where around and scum around t h e showed oil. It was evidence that it there.-- ^ -Yours jruly,— . C. P. Vincent, Jr., M. D. American Good Nature. One of the most attractive things about the American people Is their unfailing good nature. The cost of living is simply terrible, as the phrase Is. Everybody except the rich feels It severely. Wagesf and. In a less de gree, salaries ar« higher, but they have not gone up nearly as fast or as far ns the*prlces of commodities. Llv- ing Is no joke, says Ohio State Jour^ nal. And yet almost all of us make a Joke of It. The groceries and the meat shops, for instance, are full of good-natured banter among customers and proprietors as to a dime’s worth for 25 cents and kindred simple pleas antries. The husband, father and pro vider and the housekeeper have their moments of depression over the ques tion of how much longer they can keep out of the poorhouse at this rate, and yet most of us do contrive to keep out and laugh about our alleged prox imity to It And somehow or other we manage to scrape up enough to give a little something to every worthy cause that comes along, and how they Somebody has been reminded by the first transatlantic flight that there Is another ocean, Just across th6 Ameri can continent, which nobody seems to have thought of In connection with aeroplanes. The Pacific, however, Is used to playing second fiddle—If an ocean can be Imagined fiddling. It might be even said that Japan Is val uable to the eastern half of the United States as an occasional reminder that there is such a thing as the Pacific ocean, says Christian Science Moni tor. It would be a wider space to cross, but it has many - more Islands than the Atlantic, and a course could perhaps be charted without much dif ficulty which the airmen could follow from California to Japan. Or again, if he started far enough north, the air man, theoretically at least, could cross the Pacific without stopping anywhere In about 15 minutes. It cannot be doubted that the course of human progress and development for all the future will be affected In Important respects by the mingling of races along that awful battle line from the North sea to Switzerland, In Alpine Italy, on the eastern side of the Adri atic, In Macedonia and Mesopotamia, »Qfnc W, For 2,716 airplanes sold back to tho 38 the makers, the government got 4 per cent Spring strong existed You Do More Work, You are more amUtidus and you get more enjoyment out of^verything when your blood ia in good condition. Impurities in the blood have a very depressing effect on the system, causing weakness, laziness, nervousness and sickness. GROVE'S TASTELESS Chill TONIC restores Energy and Vitality by Purifying and Enriching the Blood. When you feel its strengthening, invigorating effect, sqn how it brings color to the cheeks and h«w it improves the appetite, you will then appreciate its true tonic value. GROVE’S TASTELESS Chill TONIC is not a patent medicine, it is simply IRON and QUININB suspended in Syrup. So pleasant even children like it. The blood needs Quinine to Purify it and IRON to Enrich it These reliable tonic prop erties never fail to drive out impurities in the blood. The Strength-Creating Power of GROVE’S TASTELESS Chill TONIC has made it the favorite tonic in thousands of homes. More than thirty-five yean ago, folks vronld ride a long distance to get GROVE’S TASTELESS ChiU TONIC when a member of their family had Malaria or needed a body-building, strength-giving tonic. »The formula is Just the same to day, and you can get it from any drag •tore. 60c per botflb. , ' th Eastern Asia and South Africa and the arctic regions of Russia and Sibe ria, says Philadelphia Record. It must be that among the besefits of the great war will be a sense of human soli darity which occasional poets have dreamed of, but which has hitherto seemed to be beyond the limits of possibility. The figures of the Red Cross show that 8,000,000 women volunteers made garments and surgical dressings worth over $81,000,000. It was something of a “bit” the women of the country ac complished, exclusive of the nurses and war workers in various military and naval departments. EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY. * “The world In which we live must be brought more fully Into the school house," says a bulletin from* the De partment of education. This ia well enough as a way of putting the fie- - maud for expansion of school interest. But the really Important thing Is to make more of the world live In the pupils. For It Is only that part cf the of what It paid; for 4,605 motors it gets 19 per cent. At such rates. If these were offered to the people, hundreds of thousands would be able to afford a flying machine. Some French actuary Is now esti mating that in another half century Paris will have 6,000,000. There is aa much Paris right now as France needs. France needs more communities that will behave better and work harder than Paris. Better roads In the country and bet tor housing facilities In the city will give, needed employment on necessary improvements, discourage bolshevism and generally help make the world safe for democracy. The prince of Denmark visiting here, likes Americans. And the Amer icans he has met like the prince of Denmark, so here Is one nation with whom we have successfully estab lished reciprocity. world and Its sensible facts that gets Into living consciousness that consti tutes “the world In which we live” to any person. Here Is a thing; the edu cators must not forget or belittle. In creasing subjects taught, means of teaching them, teachers and the sal aries of the teachers, will all be meas ured for value received In what of the world lives In the minds of the pupils. Progress does not come of facts known, until those facts are handled by the Imagination. We are moving on to new masteries of forces and means that are beyond sensation. Electrons^ ether, super-violet rays, atoms, all the supersensltlve newer discoveries that are making such mechanical mastery of nature possible cannot be brought Into the school room, says Rochester 6s minds of people who take the facts they have, put them Into all sorts of new relations, make suppositions and see If these are consistent with known facts, and slowly reach out beyond what can be sensed In the world about us. An education that busied Itself with the sensible facts of the < world and failed to develop the think ing power of the pupil would be a futile affair. The lesson of sound Investment has been learned by many millions through the liberty and victory loan campaigns. The moral of the campaigns has prob ably been lost on great numbers of men, but the lesson will stick in mil lions of minds. The other lesson—gar dening—has been learned by great numbers whose hands had never be fore known the pleasant feel of a hoe handle, says Washington Star. This is obvious within Washington and the nearby country. Hundreds pf families are making potatoes, onions. Carrots and tomatoes grow where such things never grew before. The gardening habit has probably become fixed and Is likely to spread, because of the force of good example. The home garden is full of pleasure and profit- after a man learns how. — The brutal U-hoat commanders a to be put on trial. If they are found guilty of sinking hospital ships, of firing on lifeboats and deliberately drowning their prisoners, there will probably be no voice, raised against their capital punishment, for even or ders could not relieve the doers of such Illegal and Inhuman deeds of per sonal responsibility. Count. Sergius Witte, who died two years before the czar was overthrown, was perhaps the best Informeid of Russians on diplomatic mattera, though he officially retired In 1906. His widow has arranged for the pub lication of Witte’s ‘Memoirs’ In the United States. They may throw much light on Russia’s part In the beginning of the world war. Over seven million and a half resent the total paid In human life as the price of the jsvorld war, says Baltimore American. It would be un thinkable if this tremendous crime against humanity should go into his tory without Its authors and thelf punishment going along with them as a lesson to future generations. It Is a pity that the self-styled, war lord who told Ambassador Gerard he would stand no nonsense from Amer ica, did not tarry long enough to see the American doughboys raise Old Glory over the Rhine. He would have realized then how little nonsense he would have been called upon to stand. I i I I 15th and 16th Mr. Smith, Special Representa tive of !
