INDIANA OIL FIELDS While Indiana oil fields may never rival those vast producing areas in the west and south, nevertheless the industry is a profitable one and annually this rich resource is taken from Hoosier soil —this past year in increasing volume. A report of Dr. W. N. Logan, state geologist, filed with the state conservation commission, shows that in 1927 the state produced 8)2,000 barrels of • oil, which was 44,000 barrels over production in 1926. Os the 1927 production 85 per cent or 727 000 barrels came from wells in southwestern Indiana and the remainder from the northeastern field, known as the Old Trenton limestone field. For the last ten years, says Dr. Logan, there has been a gradual decline in production from the Trenton field, but 25 years ago this field produced practically all the oil produced in Indiana. At that time the annual yield was approximately 1,000 000 barrels. As the old field began to wane new producing areas were located in southwestern Indiana in Daviess, Pike, Gibson, Knox, Sullivan and Vigo counties. Oil production in Indiana in 1927 shows an increase despite the over production for the entire United States which resulted in unusually low prices for crude. Figures for our state last year show production greater than at any time in the previous three yearfe. Advices to conservation officials point to unusual drilling activities for 1928 and this opinion is based on the large number of leases already taken and likewise the field work of geologists employed by several of the larger companies. —.—o A NEW BUSINESS ERA Mass production opens an entirely new business plan for America. It involves mass buying. and mass buying means unhampered consuming power. All lines of buying- are consolidiating, concentrating for co-opera-tion. Middle men, traveling men. credits and expensive delivery costs must be eliminated by those who hope to survive. No man can look far into the future —it will certainly be different than anything we have ever known. Whether it will be beneficial to the mass of people is a question that time only will determine. Where it all leads to is just as much a mystery to great financiers as to the mechanic. It is a new era that must be bravely faced and conditions squarely met. The man or community i persists in our fathers’ methods will be left at the hitching post. o * — A classified ad will sell it.

“UNCLE SAM” DIED IN KOSCIUSKO COUNTY The original “Uncle Sam,” whom admiring million s of Americans have held in worshipful respect, died March 7, 1878, in Kosciusko county at the age of 100 years and three days. His[ body was later removed to Merriam, Noble county, Ind., where it now rests with other members of the family. A woman’s intuition and her love for patriotic history has led to the discovery of the last resting place of the original “Uncle Sam.” This woman was Mrs.| Louise B. Young, of Kendallville. She discovered the tombstone of “Uncle Sam” in an obscure graveyard along the Lincoln Highway. Visiting the son, John M. Wilson, 93 years old, and his granddaughter, Mrs. Clara Zumbaugh, both living at Albion, the following facts were obtained and fully verified': Samuel Wilson, one of triplets, two boys and a girl, was born at Wilmington. Del., March 4, 1778, the son of Marmaduke and Mary Wilson, who came to America from Scotland. There were no other children in the family. Growing to manhood there, Samuel, with his brother joined the Lewis and Clark Northwest expedition in 1804, accompanythem as far as where Mandam, N. D-, is now located. These I young men spent the winter | there, returning to St. Louis, Mo., in the spring. Later they returned to Troy-on-the-Hudson, N. Y., where they were joined by their parents. Samuel secured employment with one Elbert Andei son, who owned and operated a general supply store. When war with Great Britain was declared in 1812, the Anderson store was converted into a government supply headquarters, with Anderson as commissary and Samuel Wilson as his superintendent afterward a quartermaster. Among Mr. Wilson’s duties was that of examining and marking all packages for government use. The mark placed on these containers was “E. A,—U. S.” Wilson was known by his associates as “Uncle Sam,” and one day when a longshoreman was asked the meaning of these initials, he replied by saying “For Elbert Anderson, the commissary and Uncle Sam, his superintendent. for he and the United States are all one. He represents the government, too.” Meant as a joke, the idea took hold and Mr. Wilson’s name, “Uncle Sam,” since that time has passed current as a personification of the United States the world oner. Later Uncle Sam began to appear in caricature, in many guises before the Civil War. Although tall and slender, as Mr. Wilson was, it is though the present conception of Uncle Sam which began to appear in cartoon in the early 80’s, had its inspiration of the tall, guant figure of Abraham Lincoln, “Uncle Sam” had a varied experience luring the war. He was on ba.ard the Constitution in that famous twenty-five minute battle with the Guerrierre, when the latter was sunk off Cape Kace. In this battle Uncle Sam was cited for gallantry by Capt. Isaac „ Hull, and when he was' honorably discharged he received two ladid warrants from the government. One of these warrants he sold to his son, John M.„ who now lives at Albion Ind., while the other went to Jim Harrison and was also used in Indiana.. After the war in 1812, Uncle Sam went to Pennsylvania where he was united in marriage to a Miss Susan Anderson of Cumberland county. To this union ten children were born —seven boys and three girls, as follows: Noah, David, Andrew, Samuel, Anthony, James, John, Mary, Angeline and Lucinda. By trade and profession Uncle Sam was a tailor and a doctor. His son, John, now has a lance that was used by Uncle Sam to alleviate the suffering of his patients. in the old days when “bleeding” was regarding as a cure-all for most ailments. As time rolled on, and the caricature of Uncle Sam became more and more in use, his family developed a strong antipathy to this familiarity, and when they moved to Indiana among strangers they resolved to avoid any further publicity along this line and kept the identity of Uncle Sam a secret However, a chance remark furnished a clue which when followed brought the above story which was freely told and fully verified. o A Polish laborer, out of work and hungry, picked up a small canvass bag near the curb on a Brooklyn business street which contained $52,000 in bills and silver which had been dropped by a transfer truck. The bank to which the money was consigned was notified and the young man was rewarded with a check for SSOO and another for SI,OOO from the truck company together with a job. Verily the streets of America do contain

TOO LARGE WOLVES SLAIN The two gray wolves, reminiscent of pioneer days, which have been responsible for a reign of terror in the vicinity of Connersville Ind., since they were first sighted two weeks ago, have become good wolves. Their bodies are now being mounted and will be placed in the public school museum. Farmers, whose hen houses have suffered nightly depradations, and who were compelled to put their hogs and sheep in their cellars for safe keeping, are now breathing easy for the first time, since the giant gray beasts were sighted. The first wolf, the largest of the two was brought down a week ago during an organized hunt by members of the Fayette County Fox Hunters Association. The smaller one escaped, however, and continued its devastating tactics. T'he recent fall of snow led to its undoing also. Tracked from the hen house of Elbert Gettirger .where it had played havoc with some of his choice stock, it vas shot and killed by Harry k-dd. near Everson. The male killed by the fox Lmirers, weighed almost 60 pounds. The female, while only weighing half of that amount, was apparently the most destructive of the two brutes.

CONTROL OF INSECTS In discussing the insect pro- i blems of the greenhouse before the State Florists Association meeting at Purdue University] recently J. J. Davis, head of the Entomology department, discussed the importance of controlling insects attacking floricultural crops, which is recognized as one of the most important operations in successful floriculture. The facts also are of interest to the owner of the home gardener. Every insect control, according ] to Prof. Davis, is based on know- ] -ledge of the life history, habits, ■ and structure of the insect invol-1 ved >and urged florists to be- j come familiar with their specific | problems and understand the in- j sects involved that they iriay bet- ] ter and more economically apply i controls. It was shown that a{ knowledge of the feeding habits was the first consideration as it I has a direct bearing on the type 1 of insecticide to use. Similarly the habits and life | histories of the insects are impartant. For instance, to under-: | stand that ’ the chrysanthemum . midge issues about midnight ex- ! plains why florists must fumigate | after midnight; that aphids re- ■ produce so rapidly explains why | one must apply controls when the first signs of an outbreak appears; that cutworms come out to feed at night and grasshoppers in the morning tells why one must apply poison bait in the evening for the former and in the morning for the latter; that furnished plant bugs, thrips and other insects breed in weeds explains why clean culture around 1 greenhouses is important. The speaker also discussed the various insecticides and their respective merits with special reference to some of the new insecticides such as calcium cyanide, and carbon bisulphide emulsion and their value to the florist. o B. & O. EQUIPMENT From the annual report of Dan Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, we glean the following: Total miles of road operated, 5,638; total miles of all track operated, 11,037; locomotives, 2,539; passenger cars, 1,704; freight cars, 105(,940. Purchased in 1927; 115 new all-steel passenger train cars, consisting of coaches, diners, baggage and combination cars; 1,625 all-steel box cars, and 3,000 alli steel hopper cars.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS I I Cabbage can always be used for salad if lettuce is not available. Don’t forget the salt in the breakfast cereal. Very often a lasting dislike for cereals is due to lack of proper salting. A teaspoonful to a quart of water is the usual amount needed. Early spring is the time to get ahead with hot weather clothing. Stores are full of attractive coti ton fabrics. Invest in a few dress I lengths and make them up at I odd moments so yoou will be pre- | pared when the first warm days j arrive. ■ Liver that has been fried with | bacon and a little onion may "be • scalloped with rice in a baking , dish. Salt pork may be used in--1 stead of bacon and raw i thinly sliced, instead of rice. Jam or jelly tarts, made of I left over pie dough and left-over | preserves, will solve the question , what to have for dessert, with | very little trouble. Pie trimj mings can also be cut into cookie I shapes, brushed with egg-yolk, i sugar and cinnamon and used for cookies. Tomato juice from canned tomatoes may be substituted for orange juice when the latter cannot be obtained. Childreii may be taught to drink it exactly like orange juice. For a be-tween-meal lunch in winter- . time, tomato juice may be heated seasoned with a little butter, salt and bay leaf, and served as a warm drink with a cracker. IGNORANCE ABOUT SNAKES For the edific/tion of those innocent snake fight fans, who prove Barnum was right, Cary Jones .known in circus circles as the man who knows most about snakes, begs leave to say: “1. Most of the stories about fierce snake fights are pure bunk. 2. After years of watching snakes I can truthfully say they . like to live in perfect harmony; this regardless to their species.” Ignorance about snakes costs ' the country about $220,000,000 a year, Jones estimates. Farmers who kill nonpoisonous kinds are losing their best friends. “These snakes live on rodents and other pests that destroy crops. They should be protected by law,” he said.
