OHIO WELL AT LUSK HOLDS UP Tank Erectors Working in Three | Shifts to Supply Storage for | Oil Flowihg in Solid * Stream The well of the Ohio Oil company at Lusk is holding up as well or bet- ter than was expected yesterday af- ternoon. Last, night the first tank was completed and the tank erectors are}. working in three shifts to supply stor- age for the oil that is flowing out of the four-inch casing in a solid stream. It now looks as tho the well will go over a thousand barrels per day production and it has certainly as- sured the promoters of the , Lusk field that the field is a comer and a great oil development is certain. The head officials of the Ohio were on the scene yesterday morning and took charge of the work of providing storage for the crude. Some of the flow was caught in earthern storage but a large part was wasted before the well was gotten under coritrol. An odd feature of the well is the way the number 36 has run. It has been 36 days since the first Wall Creek sand was drilled thru, it was 36 hours after the gas flow was struck that the oil started, the loca- tion is on section 36 and township 36 and the hole is 3636 feet to the pay. —EE STRONG POLICY | URGED ON U.S. Report Submitted by Ameri- can-Russian Chatnber of Com- merce Recommends Help of Constructive Nature NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—Immediate| adoption of a constructive policy of civic and economic assistance for the Russian people is recommended by the American-Russian Chamber of Commerce in a report submitted to civic, trade and commercial or- ganizations thruout the country. The | chamber urges that a civic-economic mission be despatched to Siberia this fall to follow in the wake of the Al- lied military expedition and form ral- lying points for the Russians freed from German-Bolshevik domination in their efforts to restore normal conditions of life. Unless order is restored, it is said, it will be* diffi- cult for the masses of Russians to understand the necessity or value of supporting a new government. The report was prepared by the executive committee of the chamber, | which is made &p of representative Americans who have had long expe- rience in Russia. The program, which has been approved by the commit- tee on foreign relations of the Uni- ted States Chamber of Commerce, calls for the establishment of a lib-) eral government in Siberia and_re- organization of /agricultural, mining and manufacturing indystries there as an indispensable prelude to such accomplisments in European Russia, | with the ultimate object of enabling Russia ta free herself from German domination. The recommendation for a civic- | econome mission ,contemplates the} leadership of a man of national re-| pute and known disinterestedness | and the inclusion of sectioris to as- sist in reorganization of the rail road, financial and industrial sys- tems, to assure maximum crops in Siberia next year, to ascertain-and / meet the most urgent needs com-!| mercially of the people, to advise the} Russiay workers, in reconstructing | their industrial life, to acquaint Rus-| cians with the purpose of the Allies | by means of a publicity series and, thru the Red Cross, Young Men’s Christian asSociation and other or- ganizations, to combat disease and improve social conditions. a WYOMING RAISES GREAT WHEAT GROP THIS YEAR! The { | ’ farmers. in. Wyoming have this r produced ah unprecedented | wheat crop, thereby proving the con-| tention of many that the state occu-| pies an important position on the! agricultural map. While the success-! ful production of a crop is the farm-| er’s first. thot, from a — patriotic standpoint, he is financially ested in knowing what prov been..made for its purchase. Chicago is the most favorable market for Wyoming farmers, the best prices being secured there, cording to the U. S. food adminis- tration bulletin recently issued. Pro- ducers or dealers may ship their] wheat direct to the food administra-y tion grain corporation at Chicago. !

Little is known of the work which these organizations. doin the | out-of-the-way places, far from the biggest theater of war, but none the less important in the winning of the Secretarisg, recently returned, tell \of the opportunities for service at Gibraltar and up near the Arctic cir- cle.on the Mourman Coast. Allied troops and nayal-forces are doing their bit at these extreme points just as much as their brothers who are nearer the center of activity. , Recent cable dispatches told of the opening of a Y. M. C. A. hut in Archangel, | where American troops are now be- ling landed, having gone up from | England on transports to Mourmansk, | thence by rail to a port on the White | Sea and across to Archangel. | A. L. Fluded, of Chicago, general |manager of the Chautauqua Man- agers’ Association, who has just com-) pleted a rercord trip as a “Y’' trans- port secretary, says of this work in | the far North: . “The opportunities for real seryice , to mankind are far greater in the iso-| llated places than in those where by| their very numbers the fighting*men | need fewer distractions and attrac-| tions. The Mourman Coast, to an} American fighting man, presents a), cold and dreary prospect. The various war work organizations have recog-! nized this and apparently because the! *¥’ has a foundation upon which to build the association, has taken the responsibility of, carrying a bit of homeland to American units assigned to service in Russia. A ‘Y’ man or a Knights of Columbus secretary, per- aps both, may be found on the trans-! ports which go north. Up there the; *Y’ assumes «charge of the work on! behalf of all the co-operating. organi: zations, i “Charles M. Bond, a New Jersey} man, is the secretary at Mourmansk, | where most of the men land.

SERVICE ORGANIZA } AMERICA FOLLOW THE FLAG INTO ARCTIC CIRCLE AND OTHER LANDS DNESD U TIONS OF The first man on the gang plank was a Serb, both of whose eyes had been gouged out. After trying many in. terpreters he was made to under. stand that we wished-to know how he had lost his sight. Without a word he held out his two clénched fists, thumbs sticking up, indicating very clearly how the atrocity had been committed. Morale Strengthened G. H. Rateau, who was the Y. M. c. A. secretary at Ridgewood, N. before he volunteered for overseas service, presented a glowing picture of the results accomplished by the war work organizations. Since these organizations were invited to enter the field, he said, general courts mar. tial had been reduced 80 per cent. “The work at Gibraltar,” Mr. Ra. teau added, “‘is.of tremendous impor. tance. It teaches the Navy almost ex. ‘elusively, and little is known of it ex- cept that which reaches the familics of American boys thru their letter: home. The work of the censor surely has been multiplied since the ‘Y’ took over half a dozen buildings in Gibral- tar. A bath and writing home are the essential activities of the build- ings. Many of the men are stationed on small boats which have few or no opportunities for-either. Convoys come dowh from the English Channel! and other convoys come in from the Mediterranean. “The situation in Spain is very in- teresting. The country is full of Ger- man agents, but with the growth of pro-Ally sentiment among the conser- vative element the Germans are nat- urally forced to slink about after dark and appear to be cowed thoroly.” gal tadis aber is Don’t put off, but have Allmetal Weatherstrips installed at once.
