Standard Oil Withdraws From Alaska After Great Effort Fails To Find Oil San Francisco, April 13. — (United Press)—Five years of hard work and almost superhuman effort and the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars in a stupendous “wild-catting" scheme have failed to find oil in Alaska. The Standard Oil Company Os California has decided to abandon its Cold Bay experiments on the Alaska peninsula. where a well was sunk 5.034 feet without any results. The crew is now engaged ih pulling up the equipment and preparing to ship it back to San Francisco. Thus will ehd one of the most stubborn fights ever made to overcome the obstacle Os nature in searching for oil. It was about 5 years ago that'the California Oil Company sent geologists to examine the reported oil structures on the Alaskan peninsula. Surface indications promised much, and accordingly, in 1922, a vessel was chartered to transport machinery, supplies and a brew to the selected place. The party of 40 men landed at Kanatak. an Indian vilfhge alxlut 275 Utiles west of Sewtyd and oppy&Ue Kadiak island On the Shelikof Straits. From Kanatak a wagon road was built through the Aleutian mountains for 17 miles, requiring months in the making. Two places the road wound over mountains 5.000 feet high, and then at+oss deep valleys. It was not until March, 1923, that the road was completed and supplies moved by tractor into the interior. Actual drilling began the latter part of that month. In the first year the well was .-utik to a depth of 1,200 feet through solid sandstone. The must difficult drilling conditions were encountefod. Whereas in California some of the 5,000-foot wells .have been sunk in five months, it required almost three years to reach that depth through the formations at Cold Bay. Now the well is to be plugged up and abandoned forever. Standard 0:1 Company officials were reticent about the case, but they admitted they were through with the Cold Hay venture. "It's al! in the game," one said. "We shall continue to ‘wildcat’ where we think the indications are reasonably promising. We might do it again some day in Alaska. That is the only way new oil fields are opened up." No tfar from the scene of the Standard Oil's prospecting, the Associated Oil Company has been drilling an experimental well under similar conditions. The well is not so deep as the Standard Oil Company's well and no official word has been issued as to how much longer the experiment will be continued. “Black Reign Os Terror" In Kentucky Believed Over Madisonville, Ky„ April 12. — (United Press.)—Tho “black reign of terror” in this vicinity is at an end. authorities believed today, with the capture late Saturday night of three negroes, charged with attacking Miss Nell Breithaup, 16-year-old white girl, near here last week.

“Your Health” This Column is conducted by th- Adams County Medical Society and the Indiana State Medical Association in the interest of the public's health. Anemia "Simply because your cheeks are not naturally rosy, don't give up iu despair and think vou are a victim of anemia for surface color is not always a safe guide to a person's heatlh,” says the bulletin, issued today by the Publicity Bureau of the Indiana State Medical Association. "Although anemia usually is associated in our minds with pallor, it is far from correct to stamp all pale people as anemic or to say all anemic people are pale,” continues the bulletin. “Cheeks may be painted, they maybe sunburned, the anemic individual may be flushed temporary with excitement or the nat'c-al complexion of the individual may be such as to mask the anemia. The color ot the l:ps and of the inside of the checks gives a somewhat better indication of whether or not a person is anemic, but even this is a very unreliable indication.” ' “Physicians tell whether or not a person is anemic by an examination of the blood. The blood is made up of red cells and white cells suspended in a colorless fluid called serum. “In anemia there may be a redtf;- ' tion in the number of these red cells, or there may be a reduction in the ' amount of coloring matter which these red cells contain. There may ' be a reduction in both at the same 1 time or there may be times when the amount of coloring matter present is ' greater than normal, but at the same time, the number of red cells may be markedly reduced and the patient may be quite anemic. ' “Anemia may be caused by’ loss of ’ blood by actual destruction of the red cells or by a disturbance in the foi- ! mation of these red 'cells in the body. > Anemia may follow homhorrages such 1 as occur in malnutrition or starvation, ' or may come from blood poisoning us a result of pyorrhea’, malaria, rheumatism, dipthcria and other diseases. Anemia also may be caused by arli ' mal parasites, such aS hookworm and. tapeworm. “The loss of a pfnt of blood by an ' adult wilUfroduce some temporary ■ anemia; the rapid loss of two pints ’ of blood will produce a severe anemia ’ and the loss of two quarts of blood 5 may produce death, directly or from ' anemia following. “One of the common fbims of anetni is the-disease called chlorosis. It. is ’ very important that this condition .should be recognized early ami prop--1 erly treated.

her of red blood cells to about four million instead of five million per cubic millimeter. An estimation of hemoglobin or coloring matter of the blood will show a marked reduction both in relation to the volume of blood and of the amount of coloring matter in the individual red corpuscles. Treatment is usually satisfactory and recovery is prompet unless the case be one of progressive anemia. 0 Decatur Schools Entered In State Poster Contest Bloomington, Ind., April 13. —The | schools of Decatur are among forty school systems of Indiana to be enrolled this yehr in the annual state poster contest which closes on April 17.

Lesson for April 18 THE BEGINNING OF SIN LESSON TEXT—Genesis 3:1-24. GOLDEN TEXT—For as In Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Cor. 15:22. PRIMARY TOPIC—Adam and Eve Disobey God. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Result of Disobedience. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -Playing With Temptation. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Temptation and ths Fall. ■ — A look out upon the world proves that man is not what he should be. It Is not reasonable to suppose that man Is now what he was when ho came from the hands of the Creator, much loss an improvement. The only way of accounting for tills is by the historic fall of man as given In the Bible. The Introduction of sin 1* the only answer. 1. Man’s Probation (vv. 1-5). 1. The place. It'was the beautiful garden of Edon. Man’s environment was suited to Ids nature. The testing of the second Adam was quite in contrast. Instead of In the garden of Eden with a companion suited unto him, it was In the wilderness with the wild beasts. 2. The necessity. Adam was created with the possibility of character, but not with character. This he could get only through testing. Alternative choice makes character possible. Free will is what made Adam a real man. Character is the resultant of choice. • 3. The means. It was most simple—Just one prohibition. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was forbidden. 4. The method. Satan, a personal malicious being, appeared in the guise of a serpent. He did not appeal directly to the man. He chose to appeal to the woman through the serpent and through the woman to the man. a. He found the woman while alone. h. He insinuated doubt into Eve’s mind ns to God’s Word and love. Satan’s method is the same today. 110 tries to got people to doubt God’s j Word and then to doubt His love. | c. He appealed to innocent appetite. He argued that there would be no harm In eating, but a great advantage. d. Eve gazed upon that which God had forbidden and lusted after that : which God had prohibited, j 11. Man’s Fall (vv. 6-8). The steps in the fall seem to have been rapid. From doubting God’s lovo Eve went to doubting His word. From gazing upon and lusting after that which God had prohibited there was but a short step to indulgence. Hi. The Consequence of the Fall j (vv. 9-24). j God s holy nature is such that when I men sin. Ho at once manifests Himself on the scene. 1. A disturbed relationship with God (v. 8). The introduction of sin marred man’s familiar intercourse with the Almighty. Adam and Eve not only { hid from God’s presence, but when j summoned by Him they began to make excuse, .-uxd Adam even laid the blame on God. 2. The degradation of the serpent henceforth becoming the typo of sin and Satan (v. 14; of. Num, John 3:14 and Rev. 12:9). Satan’s doom was pronounced without trial. In thgxase of the man it was not so, showing that this was not Satan's first offense. 3. The undying enmity between the seed of woman and the seed of the serpent (v. 15). This bitter enmity has continued from that day to this. 4. The ultimate victory of the women’s seed (v. 15). Satan harassed the woman’s seed, . but on the cross the final stroke was j made which crushed his head (John 1 12:31, Hob. 2:14, 1 John 3:8). This is the first gleam of the glorious gospel of Christ. I 5. The judgment upon the woman I (v. 16). This relates primarily to her as a wife and mother. 6. Man’s new relationship to the earth (vv. 17-19). The earth was cursed on his ncI count. Man must make an increased ' effort to exist. With his sinful nature, man would be in a bud state without the necessity of toil. 7. Death (v. 19). This Includes spiritual and physical death. Shi brought all. 8. Expulsion from the garden (v. lo' Then man’s nature was changed, out from the beautiful garden lie went Being Content And we shall be made truly wise ff we be made content; content, too, not only with what we can understand, but content with xvhat we do not understand—the habit of mind which theologians call, and rightly, faith in God. —Charles Kingsley.

Important News Items Os 1861 Seem Humorous To People Os Today The following Interesting new:; Items which were important ones at the 'time they were first published, were ’printed recently by the Bucher & Gibbs Plough Co., they being a collection taken from the newspapers of 1864. Fraudulent Hoax A man about 46 years of age. giving the name of Joshua'Coppersmith, has been arrested in New York for attempting to extort funds from fknor : ant and superstitious people by exhibiting a device which he says will convey the human voice any distance over metallic wires so that 11 will be heard by a listener at Hie other eud. He calls the instrument a “telephone," which is obvlcus’.y Intended to Imitate the word "telegraph" and win the conI fidence of those who know of the success of the latter instrument without understanding the principles upon which It is based. Well informed people know that it is impossible to transmit the human voice over wires as may be dune witli the dots and dashes and signals of the Morse Code, and that, were It possible to do so, I the thing would be of no practical benefit. The authorities who apprehended tho criminal are to be congratulated, and it is hoped that his punishment will be prompt and fitting that jt mayserve as an example to a horde of other conscienceiess sc'liemers who enrich themselves at the expense of their fellow creatures.
