Oil has gone up to twelve cents a
gallon and the advance has kept the
local dealers busy explaining to their

petroleum as it is consuming, and the
exports are growing daily. The sur
plus stocks are being reduced at the
rate of 100000 barrels a month. IN

famine is quite within the possibilities.
The activity in the Pennsylvania oil
country and other oil producing states
will doubtless be greater than for
years.
