If "the markets of the world"
afford $1.15 per barrel for the best
oil In the world, what then, Is the
use of oil hunting fresh territory In
remote fields of say Kentucky,
Tennessee, Colorado or any other
STATE? If the Standard Oh Com.
pany control the pipe line systems
and the markets, how can outside
producers expect to beat the game?
If producers CANE exist in home

use in going Into new develop
ments?

competition. There never could
be a better time for competition OF

be assured of reasonable benefits
they should lend their support to
any competition that will reduce

SERMON TO SUIT.

Many Maine people who live Ill certain part of Cumberland county will well remember one sAbner''-so, he was always called in town. Abner was the wit of the village and he was commonly selected to take charge of funerals. because he was about the only man in town who had time hanging on his hands. A citizen died, man who never amounted to much, who was never positively wicked, because that would have required more of an effort than he was willing to make. He was, however, far enough from being a good citizen, and Abner knew it as well as anybody else.
 Abner was requested to ask a cer- tain minister to conduct the service, and he hitched up his old horse and drove to his house. The minister said he would attend and then tried to get little information concerning the late lamented.
 What sort of a man was hep he asked.
 ..Well, about the same as no sort of a man at all,' replied Abner, frankly.
 q suppose his loss will be deeply felt ill the community?" said the min ister
 They're all bearing up well under it, said Abner slowly.
 "Was he Christian?" asked the minister.
 If he'd been accused of it, the yer dict would have been not guilty, and the jury wouldn't have left their seats," replied Abner cheerfrlly.
 Did he attend church? asked the minister a bit anxiously.
 T never heard of his doing it, said Abner.
 How did he die?'' continued the minister.
 Just the same as he lived-sort ot naturally" said Abner. | T don't see how I'm going tc preach much of sermon under sucl circumstances, said the minister.
 ..The neighbors all said they didn'1 think they wanted much of a ser mon, and so they sent me over to set you" said Abner.
 The minister pocketed his wrath an( $5 bill, and after the funeral tht satisfied Abner said: ''Well, we go just what We wanted, b'gosh. .'-Lewis ton Journal.

FACING MEATFAMINE
Teamsters' Strike Puts Chi
 cago Tn a Bad Plight.
NO SIGNS OF A SETTLEMENT YET.
PreHfdent Young Says His Men VIII Be Backed by Union Labor and Win if It Takes
 Five Years.

CHICAGO, May 31.-Chicago begins nent. Butchers who nave bought of the packers fighting the striking stock yard teamsters have lost their ice supply. Restaurants are in straits to procure choice meat The commodity has risen in price, and many shops have shut down in different parts of the city. President Albert Young Of the Teamsters' National union declares that the strike will be backed by union labor and won if it takes five years.
 Butchers have practically abandoned the hauling of meat from the yards. All passes issued by the strikers have been called in, and all meat that goes out in cars is followed and traced. Ex- cept for the few wagons that leave the yards under heavy police protection early in the day no meat is being hauled.
 At the leading hotels and restau- rants it was stated last night that the supplies would last three days longer. If the strike is not settled by that time. the managers do not know what they will do. It might be possible to get meat if they had only to deal with the packers teamsters, but the stanch sympathetic stand of the icemen and coal teamsters leaves the restaurateurs completely in the hands of the strikers
 The four pig packing concerns of the stockyards at conferences held yester- day with union leaders representing the striking teamsters refused abso- lutely to grant the concessions asked or any part and went openly on record as being unalterably opposed to the recognition of union labor in the yards
