Sila Pulse, of Warren, merchant, farmer, philosopher, politician, has sixty-five producing oil wells scattered over 600 acres of his farm, but it takes more than a ten cent drop in oil to disturb him. The sixty-five wells have been producing about 1,100 barrels of oil monthly giving Mr. Pulse a royalty of about S2OO. When these wells were first drilled the production was so heavy that Mr. Pulse got about $1,600 monthly as his share. His earnings from the oil have been greatly reduced, but as Mr. Pulse says, “S2OO per month isn't so bad.” Dry folks at Muncie think they have solved the problem. A plan has been proposed to sell the stock in the Muncie Brewing company to 2,000 or more persons and to keep the plant going by supplying the home and family trade of stockholders in that manner. A share of stock, according to the plan would cost a dollar and this would entitle the owner to be a customer of the company, as he would be in the position of selling liquor to himself. This plan is said to have been worked successfully elsewhere under similar conditions. Otherwise the company, which is now in the hands of a receiver, must go to the wall.
