What does Franco moan by Insist-
ing so vehomontly that German repar-
ations bo paid promptly and In full?
That 13 a question most Americans are
asking but few of them aro able to
answer it correctly.
Just what it does rrieon is explain-
ed by Edwin L. James a correspond-
ent of tho Now York Times. Hq makes
tho Justness of Franco's action very
plain in tho following language:
Th'la year every man woman
ana child in France contributes
the equivalent of ?35 gold for re-
pair of tho devastation tho Ger-
mans wrought in France. This
year overy man woman and child
in Gormany is asked by the re-
parations commission to contrib-
ute tho equivalent of $3 gold in
cash and $G gold in materials.
And the German chancellor re
plies that Germany cannot. Since
the end of tho war overy man
woman and child in Franco has
paid tho equivalent of $200 gold
for reconstruction. Tho total of
nil the German reparation pay-
ments to all tho allies is equiva-
lent to $40 gold for overy man
woman and child in Germany.
Before wo condemn France let's
give her at least a respoctful hearing
THE TRINITY IU.VER
Considering the amount of actual
use it is put to flood insurance in tho
form of levees is ono of the most ex
pensive undertakings imaginable but
from tho standpoint of protection for
human life and property it is literally
dirt cheap.
San Antonio had not considered tho
possibility of serious damage from
flood until a few months ago when
the heavens opened tho rain descend
cd and tho waters rose. It perhaps
would be a slmplo matter to convince
the people of the Alamo City that
flood prevention is at once a sensible
and a cheap form of Insurance.
Fort Worth has had several costly
bouts with tho Trinity. So has Dallas.
Their mo.st teceiit experience we'
might suppose will induce both cities
to take necessary precautions. But
will it?
Levees cast money and both cities
iust now are rather heavily buidened
with financial obligations. Both how
ever are progressive and forward'
looking ana we would not bo surpris
cd to seo soma actual work done along
the lino of levco building in both cities
in tho near future.
It Is bad chough to throw away pro
petty for tho lack of adequate pro
tection! it is nothing short of criminal
to waste human life for the samo rea
son.
Dallas and Fort Worth must settle
tno promem of the Trinity sqoner or
later and tho sooner tho bettor for
both.
sitting r:
Abilene is sitting pretty on top of
tho world speaking from an aqueous
standpoint.
Lake Abilene wo are assured has
enough water ih It to last the city for
all purposes for the next several years
witnout nny auditions to the present
supply
Tho big dam held tho flood perfect-
ly and emerged triumphant from its
first real test.
It means much to 'Abilene. It moans
inoro to this city than a"ny other ono
.thing.
To bavo tho nssyraneo of plenty of
water puro water for many years
to come gives Abllono a talklng-polnS
ana an asset that cannot be measured
In dollars and cents
Tho bringing in of tho Terry well
in tho Pioneer field throo miles from
the nearest production shows that the
newest field Is really worth whllo. The
well Ja reported to bo making COO
barrels dally and Its coming In means
greater activity throughout the Pio-
neer region. Now is tho tlmo for

Science of Geology
From Wichita. Falls. Record-News:
Did It oyer occur to you that out of
each 1000 -wolls drilled In Texas dur-
lng 1021 n( least 730 produced oil
nnd a largo lumber of them nro still
producing oil 1 Asks tho Toxas Oil
Gazette.
And if th.ls has occurred to you.
after you nro told thnt It la backed
by official statistics and government
reports does it mean anything?
Perhaps you nro ono of those who
thinks (he wildcat well that producMa
Oil Is a myth. Listen a moment and
bo wise.
If ono well out of ten drilled pro
duces oil. in tho gusher quantities that
Is found In Texas It will bo a highly
profitable business. But geology and
cxperlonco in drilling have roducefl
tho hazards ro that last year 73 per
cent of tho wells drlllod produced on
This moans that the net profit from
tho oil-producing business is olght
times ns went ns is necessary to car
ry on the business.
That was last year
Tho year beforo was not so good.
The year before that was still worse.
It btands to reason from theso fig-
ures nnd facts that wo nro making
progress. Thoh it stands to reason
that as wo mako progress we will find
moro and more producing wells nnd
fowor dry holes.
Tho great drilling campaigns that
aro under way in Texns and adjoining
states today where tho geology Is
much tho same can bo expected to do-
volop great gusher pools of oil. be
cause they have tho export services of
professional mon of years of standing
and exporlenco bohlnd thorn.
Men do not employ school boys to
settle tho location of a well that is
to cost thousands of dollars and may
mean millions in profits to Its owners
and interest holders Thoy employ
men of known ability and experience
who sere ablo to say with somo degree
or certainty that this location should
be drilled and this other 'one should
not.
For this teason loarned men "have
round it profitable to make a studv
of the scienco of geology and many
oi mem are giving tneir life toit.
They are the ones that command tho
big salaries and llkewiso they aro the
ones that locate tho oil pools.
Geology is advanclntr so rnnldlv. tnr
it is a comparatively new science ns
applied to oil that it is becoming ex
act. That Is tho reason 73 per cent
of tho wells drlllrd Ih Texas last vear
were producers. That is tho reason
wo may look for a better average this
year and tho next until finally tho
dry wells will bo freaks few and
harmless
A man who invests money In-drilling
oil wells today has moro chances
to win than he has to lose. The ad-
vantage of gclonce and cxperlne.ee is
on his side.

ter it is arranged for wo shall' Itnow
who won the war. Ft. Worth Record
Tho question a3 to who won tho
war has been worrying a great many
Americans for somo time. Of course
everybody knows who wop the war
that Is what nation Won the war that t
being America. But whether It was
American money American men orj
American flghtablllty or what it was!
Has not yet been settled satisfactorily '
to all The American doughboy saSj
he won tho war with his fighting; the
American marine says he won It; tlv
American sailor says that he won it
for without him the doughboy and
marine could never have lived and
would have had nothing to fight with J
if the sailor had not brought It across
for him; the American munitions'
Worker says ho won tho war because;
without him the army and navy could
never have had ammunition; the Am-(
erlcan financier sajs he won the wari
for without his money neither tho
doughboy sailor marine or munitions.
woiiter cQuia nave oone anyimng. xne
atny-at-home says ho won the war be-
cause if ho hadn't stayed at home and
kont things going here the country
would havo collapsed and the morale
of tho army and navy would have boon
broken. So you see 'there aro many
claims and the question Js to bo a
mooted one for all the rest of this
generation and maybe the next who
