Work on the build ing was done by members of the band and the cost of erecting the hall was not so great. Charles Sellers is dl- I rector of the organization and took a | prominent part in the erection of the building. The band was organized in 1858 I with ten members. It later was j called Harmonica Band and in IS9S finally changed to the Liberty Band. I The band In 1592 moved to the Young Block in South I'nion street where the headquarters were located for twenty-live years, in ini they pur ehased a lot in Swatara street and a building from the Lutheran congre gation at Oberlin. The building was torn down and I the present one erected.

California's New Oil Field of Great Importance ; San Francisco. Cal. A new "i! ; neld of considerable importance lias recently been opened up about eight miles from Los Anfceles, according to 1 t information given out by the State 1 j Mining Bureau hero.

The fact that nine companies, both hirire and small, are operating in this field, is interpreted by the mining ; bureau to mean that there is not, as has been asserted, a combination be tween the large producers to restrict i output and force the Government to ; rescind its conservation policy and j < pen up Government reserves for pro ' duction. The fact that a shortage of oil does I exist, says the bureau, has alreadv I been proved by investigation carried on by the State Council of Defense through a special committee, of which Max Thelan, head of the State Rail ro?,9 . Commission (tlie state public utilities body), was chairman. Wells started in the state since the beginning of the year, savs the min ing bureau, number 859. and indicate tl'.at the year 1917 will see more wells completed than any previous year. Th new oil field reported by the minine bureau is referred to as the Montebello Held and lies about eight miles east of Los Anneles, contiguous, to some ol tyie oldest fields in the' state. It was discovered through geo- 1 loKical investigation. E.

Although he mentioned nothing in his talk about gambling, he authorized Chief Wetzel to take this matter up -vith the men at his earliest convenience. The order which the Mayor issued will be read to the policemen and instructions will be given then> to immediately arrest any person who might be caught violating the order and to confiscate any gambling para phernalia that may be found. "Gambling is a detriment to an>- city." the Mayor said in an inter view," and therefore I will not stand for it. It has not only broken up homes, but it has caused many a man to commit murder. Gambling in the poolrooms, which are frequented by young men. is one of the worst violations of the statute laws and this, above all, I will not tolerate. "When there's punchboards and other gambling devices around a city, it gives an opportunity to the youth of that city to waste money that should be diverted to other neces sary channels, especially in this time of stress, and I am determined to prevent this if I can.
