California Oil Production.
That the oil industry is putting1 forth
every effort to nit'Ct the petroleum
short on the P;u iric Const is fully
demon str.itd in the figures of October
crutH'-oil production. The October pro
ductior, of ?.4.".1" barrels is the larp
c?l proi! uotion ever recorded in Cali
fornia f-r a month. a".d is an increase
of approximately l.m'HOVO barrels over
the pn-'Hiction of January of this year
In 114, during" the days of "gusher"
wells in the Midway Field, California
produced l3.r3.f i5 barrels of crude
oil, the state's record output. Many
observers believed that production had
reached its peak and that it would
thereafter decline, this beine the his
try of the oil-fields of other stataa
How little one may see into the futur
of the industry is well shown from the
fact that the production of 1920 will
unquestionably exceed the banner year
of 1914. The indications are that the
output "for both November and Decem
ber will be greater than that of Octo
ber and that the total production for
120 will be greater than that of 1914
by at least two millions of barrels.
To-day California has two new fields
in active development, the Elk Hills
Field, of Kern county, and the Hunt
inpton Reach Field, southeast of Long
Feach. One of these, the Elk Hills
Field, is chiefly responsible for the In
creased production which wilt carry
California to a new record, and is one
of the most remarkable and productive
oil-fields in the history of the state. In
the other field, the Huntington Beach
Field, the development is as yet too
limited to determine the full extent of
the field, but the evidence to date Indi
rates a pool of great possibilities. At
the moment of writing, a well just com
pleted in this field is producing 6!$
barrels daily.
There are now 474 wells drilling in
the state, the greatest number since
January, 1S12. Many of these wells are
drilling in unexplored areas, and the
efforts of these "wildcatters" may re
suit in new oil-fields. It is estimated
that the 4T4 wells now drilling will cost
at least $20,000,00.
Consumption of California crude oil
in October was more than 10,000,000
barrels, and in excess of production by
approximately 20,000 barrels daily.
While this consumption is probablv
above normal, it constitutes a record
consumption. It appears nevertheless
quite possible that the present pace of
production and development may over

Why wouldn't It b a good acheme
for the authorities of every hamlet, vt.

adjacent piece of land, adequate to the
sue and needs of the particular com

purpose of creating a municipal wood

Association. He believes that by pur

comparatively a few years until many
most homes In our towns and vil
lages would be heated largely by the
use of wood.

It would not be well for mankind:
mankind would starve from the face of
the earth.
The trouble is that there Is too much
false pride and too much false self-respect
among alt the other false things
in our cities. Hauling garbage to the
incinerator and cleaning the streets Is
a good deal more important work, so
far as humanity la concerned, than
working in an automobile factory, and
the men who do those Jobs should have
pride in the knowledge that they are
accomplishing the necessary In thla
world of people.

False Pride; False Self Respect
Learning that there were many
thousand idle worklngmen In Detroit.
Mayor Couiens offered a thosuand Jobs
at street cleaning and other municipal
labor at what used to be a fat wage
Here Is Couiens' report:
"Of 265 Jobs at street cleaning. pay
Ing 16 per day. and garbage collecting
paving $6.50, which the city offered
only eight were accepted. The unem
ployed apparently don't want jobs: they
want positions, while the Detroit edl
tors conclude that, after high wages in
automobile factories, Detroit's 75.000
unemployed are 'too proud' to do ordin
ary public labor."
Whereat a great editor with the city
slant on things wrote:
"It is well for mankind that men who
formed a mighty army in a great fac
tory, associating with better fellows
than ever before, standing higher so
cially and In their own" self-respect
than ever before should rebel In pure
pride against rolling a garbage can or
chasing street refuse In a gutter for $6
a day, or any other wage."
And yet the farmer does exactly those
same things every day In his barn and
his feed lot and in his fields, and he
does them with pride and self-respect.
Would It be well for mankind If the
farmer refused to clean out the cattle
