gins the winter in excellent condition and
that no shortage is expected. His constant

that if the production be limited the cause
can be found in local companies neglecting
to keep their plants in good condition. Con-
corning the alleged continued waste of gas
by the oil men Prof. Leach says:
There is no gas being wasted in Indiana
at the present time, notwithstanding reports
TO the contrary. Every we'll in the State is
Closed tight and not foot OF the fuel is
wasted. The oil operators are now tracking
the law and we begin our twelfth ear of
natural gas with not an ounce of the fluid
