400-Page Book Details Oil and Gas Resources And Development Work
For Oil
Kansas Second State in Union To Make Serious Search
A thousand questions are answered fully and discussed in "Oil and Gas Resources of Kansas," a new bulletin just issued by the state geologist, Dr Raymond C. Moore, of the University of Kansas. The new bulletin is in Kansas, on application to Doctor Moore of postage. 25 cents. The book contains 400 pages and nearly one hundred cuts, charts and maps.
The new bulletin is the most complete survey ever made of Kansas oil and gas and its contents are almost a complete oil education, from a layman's standpoint. While the book is absolutely rigid in its adherence to scientific facts and methods and to painstaking accuracy, it is extremely practical and is written with a view to making it as valuable as possible to every Kansan and to non-residents who are or might be interested in Kansas. It covers the whole field of oil and gas, its probabilities, and its geology its geology the migration and accumulation of oil, the formations that collect, seal or dissipate oil and gas, the locations of wells, methods of drilling, costs of drilling, rigs used, well management, methods of refining and percentages of gasoline, burning oil stock, tar and loss in different plants, history and records of drilling and of production.
Kansas was the second state in the Union to engage in a serious attempt to find oil. That was in 1860 at Palola, a year after the celebrated "Colonel" Drake well was brought in by President Patterson. Palola was Erasmus Haworth, head of the department of geology at the University.
Doctor Moore hopes to extend the usefulness of this bulletin still further, to include the lead and zinc fields of Kansas. Kansas ranks fourth in the Union in lead production and third in zinc production. Kansas also produces more than eleven million tons of coal annually and Doctor Moore says the geologic survey work can be made to help the coal industry greatly as well as to help further exploration in undeveloped parts of Kansas that give promise of oil and gas. The geologic survey, however, was neglected entirely by the military, the voluntary work of the University was the new oil and gas book brought out this year. Other states give $10,000 to $200,000 a year for geological surveys and Kansas one of the foremost mineral states of the Union gives nothing toward the development of its second greatest industry—oil and minerals.

Candy being composed principally of sugar, chocolate and nuts, is very high in food value. The Food Administration realizes this, and does not ask people to stop eating candy. Instead it simply requests a wise selection of the kinds of candies eaten, buying only those that contain the least amount of sugar. Minimallows, jellies, nut candies, etc. We make "Hoover-approved" candies--ask for them.-Wiedemann's.-Adv.

Poets Told to Purify Their Pensive Product
Scurrilous verse that is sent into the Kansan prize poem contest will suffer expurgation and still carry the author's name if it is printed. This is rule No. 10 and was promulgated at 10 o'clock Monday morning when the second terror libel came in without the least apologetic disguise to hide its slanderous intent. The poet fed up his pervasion on peevishness and then dug in the spurs. If anything, he went out with a week about a really good professor who had flunked the author of poetic execution.
The editors could not allow the name of that abused prof. to be used, but since the poetry was rather good, and because Dean Swift and A. Pope could not have descended quite so far and still retained classic severity of form, the editors delegated one of their number to deform the worst of the poem, and let it run to no personal destination. The composing room did the rest, only consenting to the death of the poet; the son was whispered to it with the express injunction to keep darkness thick.

The real name of the prof. who stole into heaven in that poem has not been given to anybody, and the editors say, never will be. But Monday morning's poem cannot run without exhaustive expunging—total excision, according to Guy the Composer. He suggested the rule on rough verse.
