is today. K ach passing moment hurries

SAVE FOR A PURPOSE
"It does not need argument,"
Postmaster Snyder, "to convinct?
sensible person that saving is a
thing for individuals, for the commun-
ity and for the nation. Saving does not
mean that you shall forgo the comforts
of life, or even the luxuries. But do
not make the iuistakc by thinking the
trfling thugs you do not really need oi
want are either comforts or luxuries.
Do not send your cash for little incon
sequential things. Save it for some
thing worth while. You cannot savi
money by carrying it around in voui
pocket—hoarded money is inexcusable.
Idle capital is the thief of income.
Money slips away unless it is placed in
a safe place. The best place is a suf(
investment, an interest-hearing in
vestment, where your money works fot
you. When the time conies you can gel
something worth while, the home, tin
automobile, the vacation tri,p, or any
thing else that will bring joy into tin
lives of yourself and family. Tf you
have only a small sum to save, invest
the money in postal savings. You cat

NEW DRILLING METHODS AKE
NEEDED IN OIL INDUSTRY
Although wonderful strides have
been made in the development ot the
process of drilling for oil and in pro
during it, many oil men arc of the
opinion that the industry is still in its
says Ira Rlunart, and that
the future will prove present drilling
and production methods extremely ele
mentary.
The present day ofrers great oppor-
tunities to the young inventor to make
i fortune discovering new production
methods. It is said that Colonel Drake
was t'lie first man to produce oil in
commercial quantities, but such is not
the case. Napoleon, in his time, de-
veloped a petroleum bearing mine in
Germany, which he named after Marie
I of Austria, and secured his oil needs
'from it. The oil sand was mined, and
the oil was extracted from the sand.
This mine is still being operated, and
when K. W. Marland, president of the
Marland Companies, of Ponca City
and George Shallcnberger, his assist
| ant, were in Germany a short time ago
1 thev visited it.
| "A chunk of sand was taken from
j the mine for our scrutinization," said
' Marland, "and it was about a foot
and a Italf square. Placed upon a pieeo
of paper, the oil in the sand was not
sufficient to discolor the paper, yet.
when robbed of its saturation, it was
found that it was saturated to the ex
tent of 60 per cent. "
Judging from the German mine, it
would appear that only 40 per cent ot
the oil is now being Obtained from the
sands bv the present production meth-
ods, ami some way is going to have to
he devised to obtain the other sixty.
It la reasonable to assume that what
apples to the Herman tuinc will apply
to other oil fields, as the German sand
had a wonderful porosity.
Matty oil men have remarked that
present methods of drilling are behind
time. Thev complain flint it takes $25,-
DOi) to $550,000 to wildcat for oil, and
maintain that some way should be de
V ised w here a good test could be made
to determine if oil exists in certain lo
l alities by the sinking of a small hole,
mil then, if found productive, drill a
, ommcrcinl sized hole in the improved
I fashion later. Those who are young
I may see the day when such things hap-
\ pen .
