W. C. T. II. NOTES
The Inavale W. C. T. U. gave an
old fashioned Hard Time Social on
Tuesday evening, March 4, at which
time they served supper from 6 to 8
p. m. cafeteria style. The stormy
weather kept many from coming, but
everyone that did come said, it was
the fun of their life. Over $30.00
wan taken in on the supper and about
$4.00 was realized from fines.
Every one present who was not
dressed in accordance with the social
or had on any jewelry was fine 10 or
25 cents. Many will say, what arc
the W. C. T. U. going to do with so
much money, now that the war is
over, and they do not need it for war
work. That is so and we rejoice
that the war is so near over. We
need lots of money for relief work,
and for reconstruction work, but this
money is not for either purpose, but
for homo work, in this way. When
we go to Lincoln to the State Fair,
what place docs the poor, tired, ex
hausted mother with her weary, cry
ing baby look for? The W. C. T. U.
rest room where there arc cribs for
baby, couch for the tired mother and
everything for their comfort and oth
er tired persons. The Y. V. C. A.,
have their rest rooms, chairs, writ
ing tables and laboratories, but the
mother looks for the things the moth
er organization is supposed to fur
nish. Last year, September 1918,
the W. C. T. U., failed to have a rest
room at the State Fair at Lincoln.
Why? From the lack of funds.
This $!10.00 will go to help promote
and make possible a rest room at the
Fair this fall.
Why would it not be a wise plan
for Webster county to have a rest
room at her county Fair? I am sure
if we had a rest room there, every
citizen of the county would bo so well
pleased with tho result that no one
would ever say, I am not going to
help the W. C. T. U. cranks any more
At any rate, a crank is a very im
portant thing, for what would wo do
without our Fords and Grnphophone
u it was not for their cranks? Or
what joy would there be in this world
if it were not for tho woman? There
would be no mothers or sisters.
One more rest room I would like
to speak of, is in a permanent cot
tage, at tho Epworth Assembly
Grounds. This will cost several hun
dred, but the state W. C. T. U. desire
to put a rest cottage there, but to do
so are obliged to look to the local
unions to raise the funds. New Vir
ginia Union raised 350 not long ago
for this kind of work, and the need
is great. And funds arc scarce. Will
other Unions help the good cause?
The state W. C. T. U. have discon
tinued their headquarters for lack of
money to pay expenses. Will not all
the White Ribboners wake up and
put every effort forward to raise
funds?
Inavale Union will hold a Fair
next month. Last year Inavale raised
about $G0 at the Fair and they ex
pect to do better this year. If each
Union in every county will do their
best all of tho things I have spoken
of would bo a reality instead of an
ought to be.

The Vibratite Method
There Is much misconception as, to
the value of vibratile forces and meth
ods of application in the search for
and the locating of commercial ac
cumulations and veins or belts of oil
and gas.
The popular idea sees the operator
cither endowed with some sort of
"witchcraft" or "second Bight" which
enables him to sec tho oil deep undpr
the surface of tho ground, or
equipped with some mechanical de
vice that he fails to understand, and
jumps ut conclusions us they happen
to occur. There is no excuse for
such ideas, as the principles of vi
bratile forces are purely scientific and
easily understood.
The scientist of today tells us that
everything is vibratile. I will not at
tempt to reach out on this broad ques
tion, but will confine myself to its
use and value in locating minerals
und oil nnd gas. These waves or
forces have been known and spoken of
by many well-known professors and
philosophers in their ancient historic
researches, but are not even at tho
present time very well understood, al
though many learned men seem to
have a very clear knowledge of their
existence.
Professor Proesc speaks of themaa
being "mechanical forces" governed
by natural laws not fully understood.
(Reference, Encyclopedia Ilrittancia.)
Prof. Grosvcnor A. Parker, in his lec
ture on ether defines it as a conductor
of wave force. He declares that eth
er is a hypothetical something that
fills all space and vacuum and per
meates everything, tho planets and
the universe as water does a sponge,
of incnlcuablc density and elasticity,
having no resistance or gravity and
being a conductor of wave force.
It has been conclusively established
that light is a form of wave motion
and that it cannot be conveyed in
nothing, therefore it must be convey
ed from the heavenly planets to earth
by tho conductor, other, as .that is
tho only known substance existing be
tween them.
Sir Oliver Lodge, in his famous
lecture on electric waves, speaks of
many kinds of waves that apparently
pass through ether not effecting tho
floating electrons by which they pass.
He also speaks of othor waves, such
as the Roentgen or X-rays Hertz
ian waves, the waves of wireless tele
graphy, passing by all kinds of mat
ter, but being absorbed when special
arrangements are made for their re
ception. Whenever there is ether they can
pass and as there can be no break in
the ether, they pass everywhere. Now1
if electrical wave motion and light
wave motion and other forms of wave
motion are conducted by ether on the
earth's surface, why not vibratile
motion that is created in the earth.
Why cannot this form of motion be
transmitted through ether to the
earth's surface and be absorbed by
special arrangements for its recep
tion, or in other words, any instru
ment that is in tunc with it?
Sir II. M. Preece, repudiating as ;(h
electrician the theory that any electric
force is involved in locating minerals,
has recorded as his opinion that min
eral finding is due to "mechanical vi
bration" set up by friction of moving
minerals, acting upon tho sensitive
ventral diaphragm of certain except
ional delicately formed persons.
Another theory is that mineral
finders are "exceptionally sensitive to
hygromatic influences." In any
case modern science approaches the
problem as one concerning which the
facts have to be accepted, and ex
plained by some natural obscure
cause.
The theory or science is also spoken
of by Professor Barrett and accepted
by him as a fact in which he ascribes
tha phenomenon to ''motor-automatism"
on the part of the operator.
Now, having established the fact that
the wave forces do pxist, we find
them to be the most prominent in tho
carboniferous formations whero they
find natural conductors in the form
of mineral oil and gas belts, being
created and developed by these de
posits and convoyed to tho earth's
suriaco nnt inrown on into space
through the ether that permeates and
abounds. Therefore they may bo ab
sorbed by special arrangements for
their reception hence tho term
"earth telegraphy."
Now, wo find that these vibrations
vary in tensity, some mineral deposits
throwing off a greater volume than
others and with greater force, for ex
ample, metal and gas vibrations are
much more active than these pro
duced from oil, while those produced
from the carbons are of longer dur
ation and more of a floating nature,
and In distinguishing between them
we should uso the utmost caution and
care, which perhaps will take years
of experience to determine correctly.
Having reached a scientific solution
of these facts, wo naturally turn to
their uso and where they may bo
practically applied to advantage.
Tho oil man of today has tho geol
ogist to assist him In Ills, search for
oil and. gas. Tho geologist, aftor
making a survey or study of tho
earth's formations, will point out
where certain upfolds or depressions
may be fdund that cro 'dative to oil
deposits $id often times carry oil
sands (the home of oil.) Ho can only
recommend that they tost the loca
tion to determine Whether these sands
arc productive or barren, which tho
operator often docs at a great ex
pense, often drilling several holes to
do so. Now, why not eliminate this
expense and determine whether tho
mineral deposits do exist by the use
of these forces which would not oc
cur if there were no deposits thero
to produce them and by careful study
of the same, the operator could easily
tell whether it was oil or gas ort-omo
other substance. The writer docs
not in any way attempt to condemn
the uso of geology. It is all right
and us use is of the utmost impor
tance so far as it assists us in develop
ment, but why not use science and ad
vance one step forward toward a cer
tainty. The oil world demands it.
The wildcatter has got to have some
thing more definite to work upon,
science has got to come to his relief
in order, that production may meet
the demand. Old fields are being de
pleted, new pools must be found.
Work is being held back for the
want of something to supply know
ledge, something definite, something
that can be relied upon. i
Oil men should study these forces,
use them in their work and after they
arc fully understood, they will find
that science has helped one step for
ward in progression and security.
Whether these forces arc used inde
pendently or in conjunction with
geology, they will eliminate dry holes
and give the operator a feeling of
confidence and security. The Oil

INCOME TAXpInALTY
"It must be understood by indiv
idual Income Taxpayers that there
will be no general extension of time.
Returns must be in tho hands of the
Collector or a Deputy Collector on
March 15th," said Collector of In
ternal Revenue, Geo. L. Loomis to
day. "Failure to file return on
time as required by law automatic
ally subjects the taxpayer to a 25
per cent penalty and in addition there
to a $1,000 fine. Any person who
willfully attempts to evade or de
feat the income tax imposed is sub
ject to a 10,000 fine and one year
in Federal prison.
"Taxpayers should not delay in
making returns until the eleventh
hour and then find that due to delay
in mail or other causes they are de
linquent nnd subject to a fine. File
the rcurn at once and take no
chances.
"While the Bureau of Internal
Revenue is sending to every county
in the State experts to aid in tho
making out of Income Tax returns,
it is not to be supposed that these
officers arc to relieve taxpayers al
together of their duty in this re
spect. Many persons, without even'
taking tho trouble to glance over the
forms, hand them to the revenue
officer expecting them to mako out
tho complete return. This neces
sitates a number of questions which
only the taxpayer himself can ans
wer. "Taxpayers are urged to read care
fully tho instructions und fill in the
forms to tho" best of their ability,
leaving to tho experts only such ques
tions as to which they may bo in
doubt.
"On each form is printed the fol
lowing: "If you need assistance, go to a
Deputy Collector or to the Collect
or's office, but first read instructions
and fill out this sheet in pencil as
well as you can.
'"By heeding this advice, taxpay
ers will save themselves and the
government much time and trouble."
According to the old Indian sign
this season is to see big crops to bo
a season when the farmers will be
blessed with plenty of moisture from
the skies. Plenty of snow, rain and
freezing weather in January always
caused tho Indians to prepare for a
wet spring. Another sign they went
by, too, was when tho wind blew from
shifting from one quarter to the oth
er the south one day and the north
the next or when it was continually
blowing from every quarter.

JOTTINGS
From a War Corre
spondent's Notebook
By ADAM BREEDE
Railway travel Is not so comfortabla
In Franco as It U over here. Tha
coaches tire divided Into compartments
and each compartment wLl ncconinio
date eight pi-rfons. This would not
bo so bad if It weio not for the fact
that smoking Is permitted In nil
coaches. Cotit)cucntly, It' thero nra
five or six persons In one compartment
who do not smoke, and two or threo
who do smoke, the Journey is luiylhinq
but a pleasant one.
Thero aio thruo different classes
of travelers In Franco: First class
second class, and third class; and for
each different class there Is a special
coach or carriage. Tho first class car
riago Is fitted up somewhat like tho
American Pullman, only tho aisle i
along the side and In place of scuta
thero aro compartments. Tho second
class carriago is not ho elaborate or
comfortable, while the third clasi
coach Is anything but comfortable.
'
But, one' thing favorable to a traveler
on a French train la that he doei not
av to look aftar hU own baffte.
all tkat he has to do la to chock It an
It will bo taken care of. But If he
stays more than one night In a !ace
a small charge Is made for -eaefa piece
of 'baggage.
This Is qulto different from travel
ing In England, where each person la
compelled to look after his or her own
luggage, and It cannot be checked,
either.
When a travelor In England has sev
era! pieces of luggage he places them
In the baggage car v. here they are left
without being checked. Then when he
gets to his destination he goes to the
baggage car, selects his own luggage
and carts It olt'.
I happened to be on the same train
with Mr. and Mrs. Peter Clark Mc
Farland, making a night run out of
London en route to Ireland. Mr. Mc
Farland had been to Europe to write
war Btorles for the Suturday Evening
Post, and his wife accompanied him.
Now, Mr. McFarland wasn't what one
would call "traveling light", as he had
typewriter, two grips and fourteen
trunks. It kept him busier than a
cranberry merchant getting his lug
gage aboard, and trying to keep it
all together. During the fore part ol
the Journey, he got out of tho rallwaj
carriage whenever tho train stopped,
ran up to the bags-age car, looked in
and then turned and came back. He
kept this up until midnight when he
became exhausted and foil asleep.
'
. The French hods aro clean, well
aired, roomy, and wonderfully soft.
Nearly all of tho private honics are
well supplied with featherbeds and
when you crawl Into one of those beds
you feol as though you wero about
to sink out of sight.
But In the French Inns the beds are
not so clean or comfortable. This Is
due to the fact that none or the Inns
aro what tho Americans would call
up-to-date. ,
' In nearly every French town there
Is a small park, centrally located, and
the walks aro well shaded. In these
small parks, or public gardens, people
gather for various kinds of amuse
ment. Thero are plenty of benches
and small tables scattered about
Here, the people sit and visit over
tholr refreshments.
Tho French arc strong for one big
meal n day, and that Is In the evening,
ana tney usually take their time at it.
Much has been said about -the
French breakfast, which la sorved to
one In bed. It consists of mnrmalade,
rolls, and cocoa. Tho rolls and the
cocoa aro all right, but I have yet to
find an American who will defend the
marmaludo, ,
One thing quite noticeable through
out France -was the wonderful spirit
that was manifested by tho young men
who had" not as yet' been callod to the
colors. '' "" , M
I have seen,thera'ln villages, towns,
and cities, and wherever I found them
they always showed a spirit that was
worthy of observation. Thov were not
only thrilled with truo patriotism, but
they were what wo would call "full of
pep."
The 1920 class used to parade the
streets of Paris dressed up In all kinds
of grotesque and ridiculous coHtumo3.
These fantastically and oddly dressed
young men always had tho freedom of
the city when they started out to do
things. But, be It said to their credit,
they wore not destructive. And nolther
were they oaslly provoked or quarrel
some. One of their chief stunts was to get
a drum, cornet, clarinet, or a grind
organ, and go serenading. (
Quite often they would adopt the
spirit of gallantry and sing for at least,
bait an hour beneath some young
lady's window. In most cases they,
would be successful la drawing the,
young lady to the window; aha would,
jjptle at them, speak to them, an4 In
variably throw flowers to them.
fjlgflaylng In the street or near,
cafes they would secure money by
passing the hat after each "selection."
Boon as thoy gathered enough francs
to buy the refreshments for the crowd
they would march single file into a
cafe, give their order, march out, and
take tholr places at the little table on
the oldowalk. I
