Classified Ads. In The Statesman Bring Results MOTHER THSE SIX I I W I :. IV? -t'h -tfi O; if OIL MEN HAVE LANGUAGE ALL THEIR OWN, JUST AS SOME OTHER OCCUPATIONS TULSA. Ok!a, July 8. Oil men have a language all their owf, as it were, for the oil industry, like others, has a number of more or ies technical terms and nhrnntw connected with it that are not gen- erally understood outside the oil i neid districts. I For instance, "shooting a well has an entirely different meaning Irom that applied in river naviga tion to the term "shooting the rapids." In the oil country the phrase means the lowering into the well of several dozen quarts of nitroglycerine .and allowing it to explode in the bottom of the well in the- oil sand. Drilled Like Artesian Oil wells are drilled much like artes:an water wells. A "rig." or tall pyramid framework Is erected over the pot where the well is to bp drilled. At various stages the sinking of the well is cased in by steel pipe, the Joints of which are screwed together, making a continuous pipe. This serves to keep out water and to keep the well from caving. As the well is bored deeper, the size of the casing is reduced in order to keep putting it down in side of that already In place. Two or three changes, or possibly four. are all that are usually made In reaucing tne size or the casing. "Dry Holes" Hnd 'H'.Hssvrs If 'no oil is found the well Is termed a "dry hole." If gas is found, it is a "gasser." A produc ing well is named according to the or a 'uu-iarrei well Oil as it comes from the trroiinrf is called "crude oil." It is carried to the refining plants in pipe :iies, iron pipes ranging all the way from three to 10 or 12 inches in diameter, or in railway tank cars. There it goes through the refining process. Almost all oil men lease the land on which they drill, paying "royalties," from one-eighth to one-sixteenth of the value of the o.l produced going to the owner of the land. A "location" is a piece of land on which a well is drilled. It varies from 300 to 500 feet square. Thus in a field that is closely drilled, each well will have wells on four sides of it be tween 300 andy 500 feet away. These wells are known as "off setts." A "tank farm" is a tract of 77 ie Well Dressed Woman B, GLORIA SW ANSON. j Star U ftruHut rtctarea. P'A i t 'XjJ . are Who CHINESE KIDDIES land on which are located a num ber of large storage tanks for oil.' "Pools" Are Goal. "Test wells" are the first wells drilled in a territory where oil has not been discovered. "Wild cat" wells are those drilled in ter ritory where geoligists have not found rock formaxions that indi cate the presence-of oil. A "pool" is an underground supply of oil. or oil sand saturated with oil. The "Mid-Continent" field com prises the stated of Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas,' Kansas, Louisi ana, Missouri. Montana and New Mexico. f i Strawberry Growers Find That Advertising Pays California fruit growers believe that advertising i pays since they used it in moving their strawberry crop. k When the strawberry: season opened this year th California growers were offered 3Vi cent a pound by-'canners for their crop. They felt that this was too low and that' the crop should be moved fresh. The growers adopt ed an advertising campaign which enabled them to move the entire crop at s cents ;a pound through local markets. ; Result's were obtained tho first day .with ithe advertising campaign. By an agreement with the canneries all of , the straw berries not sold: every day at 1 1 o'clock were to be barreled. Only the first day rpund any berries on the market i for the canners, so well did the advertising suc ceed. A modest sum was used in ad vertising in 'newspapers and journals of the 'bay cities and re tailers were furnished with post vrs announcing fresh strawber ries to the trade. The growers leceived a fair j price, tlie whole saler made a profit, the retailer was kept busy and the public Dougnt generously. A -: sinele day s slump in the general straw berry market would have cost the growers many j times the entire cost of advertising. 5 A man in California, dropped dead the other; day while wash ing the dishes for his Wife.

SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 9, .1921 POSTAL TEST Dill' AUGUST $ Special Appeal is Made Jo Former Soldiers to Enter Federal Service During the war Uncle Sam had hard enough work to get men and women to run his postofices. The men were tither in the army or waiting to be called in. and t'h women were drawing better wages almost everywhere else outside of the postal service. But now it's changed. The postal service looks almost" like pens'on, a gift from home, a legacy from Uncle Silas, who ran away from home and now dies and leaveh a million .or the nef fies and second cousins back in the dear old home. The wages have been raised until the clerk ships start on 11400 a year, and run up to moo. They give sick leave with pay. and 1 5 davs1 va cation exclusive of Sundays or holidays, and only eight hours a day and every holiday that was ever stuck onto the calendar, and they can now organize till the cows come home with twin calves and sojfs a riot to land in the sheltering arms or dear old Uncle Samuel who hit "em hard at Jia or $30 a month when they were in the army, but makes it up to them now. They're wanting more auxiliary or substitute clerks and carriers in the Salem office. An examin ation has been called for August 6. for a new list of avaiiables for emergency call. Blanks can be secured by applying to the Salem postoffice. These- examinations ore not scheduled regularly. Some times they may even be two years apart, when there is a large wait ing list of accredited avaiiables, and again they may be two qr three times a year, If the help is needed. It Is surmised that there will be no other call for a long time to come,. as a good many ap plicants are expected this time. The examination schedule looks easy enough. Spelling counts for 10 per cent, and penmanship for 20 per cent, for a clerk or carrier must make many pencil notation in the course of his work. Capy ing ability counts for 30 percent and letter wrfting for another 20 Arithmetic Is the biggest item in the schedufe, this counting for 30 per cent on a scale of 100 points. Two Filipino boys are now on the substitute list in Salem, they having passed the examination's satisfactorily. ' v AH soldiers, and dependent wives or widows of soldiers, have many preferential allowances. There is no age. heitrht or weight conditions that applies to them, as they would to other Ap plicants, and many nhvsical ren ditions that WOUld bar nthor U plicants are allowed for former soiaiers.
