AS the large production has decreased
the price, we have bought considerable
quantities of oil, and have at the pres

burning it. We have never been
willing to surrender to the Oil interests
our supply of fuel, and shall cease
burning Oil if they raise the price to

conversely, we shall use 1t as long as
the price remains reasonable.

other things he had been taught to be

IT seems that the rebellious tribes of
India who are fighting the English in
vaders and despoilers of their country
are about to resort to the excommuni-
eating business to frighten their fellow
superstitioni-ts into joining them in
the fight. In order to secure combined
action they threaten recommendation
from Islam of such tribes as make
separate terms with the British. This
terrible threat will doubtless have the
same affect on the superstitious savage s
of India as it recently had on the
superstitious queen and people of
Spain, when they broke up their cabi-
net rather than offend an excommuni-
catirg bishop by compelling him to
pay his just share of taxation for the
