THE DAILY BANNER, GREENCASTLE, INDIANA TLESHAY, .U'CLsT IS,

Oil i > n)mot<*rs In West Curbed SACRAMTCNTO, Cal. <UP)—A detennined drive against the sale of questionable oil and ,;as property has started in California by officials of the state division of real estate. The beginning of the campaign was marked by the issuance of citations to show cause why stop orders should not be issued against more than SO oil and gas projects in California, New Mexico and Texas. The campaign was undertaken principally to give investors a “reasonable opportunity” to obtain a return on their money, according to J. Mortimer Clark, state real estate commissioner. On this basis, recent orders were issued giving all .subdividers of oil and gas projects an opportunity to establish, if they can. whether there is adequate title, reasonable possibility of obtaining gas and oil in commercial quantities, and reasonable prices in connection with the property offered for sale in Colifornia. Another order requires that all subdividers of such projects file specific geologist or petroleum engineer acceptable to the commissioner, indicating a “reiisonable possibility of procuring oil and gas from the property proposed to be sold. "This step was necessary to properly protect the public in these alleged investments,” Clark said. “In New Mexico the leases were obtained from ihe state mostly at a price of 5 cents an acre. In many instances no regard

was given as to whether the lands could reasonably be classed as oil and gas lands. The selling plans were purely promotional and the profits had been going into the pocket of the promoter and none to the investor. In most instances it was a complete loss to the investor.”

MIMXTI KK <<I \KK FOLLOWS 1,800-TON KXPI.OSIVE BLAST CHELYABINSK, U. S. S. R. <UP> — The Soviet might boast of creating a man-made earthquake if it so desired. At the Karkinko coal fields in the Northern Urals 1,800 tons of explosives were set off simultaneously. Onlookers said it was a grand sight, j About a million cubic yards of earth were hurled more than a quarter of a mile high. A trench was blasted out about three-quarters of a mile long. 55 feet deep and 250 feed wide. The shock of the blast was recorded on seisforgraphs in various sections of the Urals. It was registered in Moscow nearly six minutes after the explosion. Two years work was saved by the tremendous blast, mine officials esti-

mated.

Highway.

State Highway went on a rampage in the fourth inning to score nine runs and defeat Fillmore in the first game last night by a 10 to 6 score. Except for the one bad inning, Owlser and Robinson, Fillmore pitchers, held the Highway team in check. Don Grimes, Midwest third baseman, drove out a home run in the last of the seventh inning to break a 5 to 5 tie and give his team a 6 to 5 victory over Zinc Mill. Midwest overcame a five run lead with a five run rally in the last of the sixth to tie up the ball game. The victory gives Midwest the top position in the National League and shoves Zinc Mill hack into second place. In the final tilt the Colored Giants edged out Kroger 5 to 3. The Giants won the game in the sixth with a three run rally.

LONG HARVARD SERMONS IRKSOME 162 YEARS AGO CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. (UP4 — Imagine a dignified president of Harvard college being run out of office because he talked too much! That is what happened to the Rev. Samuel Langdon, college president from 1775 to 1780, according to documents found in the files of Harvard Divinity School. The Rev. Langdon resigned after students, protesting that his sermons were too long, had petitioned the governing board for his removal and had sent a committee to convey to the Rev. Langdon their opinion of him.

BEGGARS RAISE ANTE PUEBLO, Colo., (UP) —Local beggars have raised the ante. No longer do they want a ‘‘nickel for a cup of coffee.” Now it’s a “dime for a loaf of bread.” OBITUARY Eva Dell Hannon, daughter of Lydia and Ear! Harmon, was born December 12, 1926, in Greencastle, Indiana, and departed this life August 4, 1936. at the tender age of nine years, eight months and twentytwo days. Eva Dell led a happy life in her home with her aunt and little sister and being of a sweet and happy disposition will be sadly missed by all who knew her. She leaves to mourn her loss besides the parents, her beloved aunt, Mrs. Rachel Cox. with w’hom she always made her home since the death of her great grandmother. Mrs. Lydia Patterson, in 1926; a little half-sister Sylvia Scott, two grandn,ethers, one grandfather, two uncles, William and Lemuel, two great uncles, one great aunt; also a little cousin Charlotte Patterson, and a host of friends and neighbors who will miss the smiling face of such a sweet child. Although it seems difficult for us to give her up at such a tender age, and we may not understand why, we must always remember that He who giveth and He who taketh away knows best, and His will be done. I cannot say and I will not say That she is dead, she is just away. With a cheery smile, a wave of the

hand,

She has wandered into an unknown

land;

And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since she lingers

there.
