SENIOR CLASS DAY
Continued from LIST Page

of the most amusing features of the
program was Miss Corbitt's presen-
tation of such gifts as she thought
fit the tancies and foibles of her
classmates. The president of the
class received the posterioT appen-
dage of a fox, emblematical of his
habit of always being behind. Space
will not permit OF mention of the
others; bat each eft" sometimes
to almost the hurting point.
Miss Smullen was prssimist, and
as 1t Is the privilege, even the duty,
of the pesslmist to say hard, dis
agreeable things about everybody
and everything, this young lady
tried to do her duty. She had her
hammer out and roasted the ones
she felt deserved it, even to the
queens taste.
Another interesting event was
the presentation of the huge "key
of knowledge" by the Senior class
to the Junior class. Mr.. John Fin.
layson on behalf of the Juniors
received the key and made neat
speech Of acceptance. In all the
evening was delightful.
Tonight Is the Junior entertain
ment In which, for the first time

The scribe who writes the Stan
dard Oil eompany's oil field news
for their syndicate of subsidized
newspapers seems to have found a
new oracle on information pretain-
Ing to the why and wherefore OF
market fluctuations In Mr.. E. II.
Jennings OF the Pure OH company.
The syndicate scribbler quotes Mr.
Jennings of the Pure OH company
as having remarked to him early In
the week, or before the cut of
cents per barrel In the price for
credit balances last Saturday, that
Russian refined oil was selling In
England 20 per cent below the
quotation for our export product
and was a sharp competitor OF
American products, etc, etc. Long,
long before Mr.. Jennings became
prominently identified" with the
the management Of the Pure
Oh company Russian oil hg-
ured as a sharp competitor OF
American products, but the infor'
nation as to the weight of this
competition usually was quoted as
coming from Mr.. Joseph Seep, Dan
O'Day or some other Standard off,
clal. It must be relief to those
gentlemen to know that they may
no longer be looked to as authority
for market changes and conditions
when such a worthy successor has
been found In the person of Mr..
Jennings, of the Pure Oh com.
pany. Probably the trade has noted
the fact that there was no cut In
refined products at the time
crude was reduced In price
last Saturday, and that the
margin of profit to the re6ners In
the absence of such cut IS just 3
cents more for home and this mar.
gin of profit all comes off the pro-
Queer. The refners connected
with Mr.. Jennings of the Pure OH
company engaged in manufacturing
refined products for foreign and
domestic markets seem to be In a
highly prosperous condition, and
while Mr.. Jennings of the Pure Oh
company, may attribute the slump
in price to Russian competition,
the refners are not seriously
damaged. In fact all re-
fners connected with the Pure
Oh Company have increased
their refining capacity to a great
extent and their profits according
~. Notwithstanding the State
ment Of Mr.. Jennings of the Pure
Oil Co., the report statistics show
the foreign markets are taking all
the oil offered at high and profitable
prices, also that stocks of both
Ohio and Indiana and Pennsylva-
MIA crude oil being reduced each
month and even the Pure Oh Co.,
are accumulating no stocks. The
effect of a cut In prices should
be to diminish the enthusiasm of
those who were recently eucourag.
ed to start the drill on a "jolly"
of three cents per barrel, especially
as the end of Russian competi-
ton" cannot be foretold If the
statement of Mr.. Jennings, of the
Pure Oil company, can be counted
to indicate anything, but the pro-
ducers wosld like Mr.. Jennings to
explain why the refners product
has not been cut In price If condi-
lions are to be taken seriously.
