The management Of some large
companies is often permitted to
rest in the hands of high salar-
led employee. He usually hasn t
anything of his own in his head,
SO just to prove that he'is trusted
with the management and knows
all about the business he gives
away all he knows and some
things he. don't know as he de-
lights in swelling up. He tries to
impress people who are stockhold-
ers with his Importance by monop-
olizing all the talk and making
confidants of each officer. He
knocks other employees and spars
for an opening whereby ne may
catch them off their guard in
some slight deficiency. He aims
Ito GUST the higher officials and
usurps the privileges of all the Oh
rectors. He votes himself a great
man and glories in his success IN

Gas


How many people, when buy
ing gas engines stop to consider
complications There are few.
If they would only investigate
the different makes before decid-
ing on the purchase there would
be fewer repair shops over the
land. A spring here and a gear
there, and loaded down with lot
Of inventions, most people say,
"That must be good engine. "
Well, they buy it. In q little
while, to keep it going, they COM
mence to tinker, and the more
time and money spent the more
she gets out of whack. Then
they realize that it takes an ex-
pert to do anything with it. Now
if they had only bought a simple
engine-one that would not run
because it did not have a lot OF
fixtures they could have avoided
the expense and delay.
Our advice to you is not to
overlook the "Stoner" when you
are thinking of buying an engine,
as we can prove to you that it is
the simplest engine built, and we
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the 'fStoner, . as il
gives them but little work.

Over 500 of Kansas oil goes to
fuel products and is reported to
find a good market at profitable
prices for that purpose. In the
west coal is a luxury and high in
price and Kansas oil will do much
to. cheaper fuel. 1t is said that
500 of Texas oil is sold for fuel
leaving a small percentage for IL
Illuminating and gas oils. There is
nothing particularly bearlsh in
the Kansas or Texas situation that
should onterfere with prices for
the high grade products of the
eastern fields. The reported agree
ment between foreign oil dealers
probably means that the Standard
Oil company have agreed upon a
division of markets. Just where
the Pure Oil company will stand
is matter for conjecture. Here
tofore, the Pure Oil company has
relied upon the merit of it's prod
ucts for a market, but just now it
seems those markets have been
partly closed and the export bus
mess, of the Pure Oil company
does not seem to be fully up to the
limits of it's capacity, and further
the prices for high grade export
oil are not profitable. That the
Standard Oil company. is once
again in control Of a large per-
centage of the markets of foreign
territory is now believed to be
true, and the agreement between
it and the foreign dealers which
failed to 60 through some months
ago should raise the embargo on
home producers, who, as usual,
are made to stand the expense Of
competition warfare. Oil produc-
ers in all the eastern fields have
been made to stand a reduction in
price that has been out of all pro-
portion to the conditions. The
dividends of the Standard Oil
company have been reduced but a
trife and the Pure Oil company
still paws no dividend. Reports
from the fields for May indicate
the difficulty in maintaining pro-
duction, an increase in completed
wells, according to the Oil City
Derrick failing to bring the new
production to figures for April.
There is no profit in drilling old
territory at present prices, and it
is only an occasional good well
that brings up the average. Even
the good wells are becoming fewer
and far between.
Ida Tarbell, in McClure's for
June, pays further respects to the
Standard Oil company and ably
assists Editor Boyle to circulate
much of his past history as estab-
lished by himself.
The old heads of the Pure Oil
company seem to have relinquish-
ed the active management of its
affairs and have been subtlely put
aside by no one in particular but
the Standard Oh company un-
doubtedly under cover. A very
large number of its employees
were former employees of the
Standard or it's closely allied indi-
viduals and companies. There
has long been a suspicion that
there has been something wrong
with the independence of the in
dependents.
The management Of some large
companies is often permitted to
rest in the hands of a high salar-
led employee. He usually hasn t
anything of his own in his head,
