Dear Sir: What's the penalty for
making or selling short measure
paint in your state?
And does it make any difference, II
three i"urths Of the paints are short
measure?
Ia seven pints a full gallon or o
fool.gallon?
What's the penalty for making or
selling shitewash for paint?
If whitewash paint, IL mixed with q
little pain and labeled Pure mixed
paint" or something like that?
But we uon't intend to 60 into the
business. We make Devoe lead and

A BIG CUT IN KANSAS OIL.
The Scent Reduction May Al.
NEST Stop Production.

Chanute, Has Jan. 16.-The Kan.
sas oil belt was given another sur
prise this morning. The Standard
announced a five cent cut In Western
oil, making cut OF Is cents in the
last three weeks. The new quota
tions range from y cents barrel
for oil grading 81 gravity and more
to 81 cents for oil grading 2Sto 2Sk.
The price ranges 5 cents less for each
hall grade diffsrencAin quality. Fuel
oil grading between % and % is
quoted at thirty one cents. The
Chanutc Oil Producers Association
decided to suspend operations untfl
an increase in price and this cut
shows their action was we'll based.
The Standard will be unable to ham
die the present production until the
Whiting line Is finished and perhaps
not even then. The STANDARD now
has oil stocks In Kansas in the GUS
tidy of the pipe line of mure than 5
million barrels. The decline in oil
quotations will practically suspend
developments all over the field ex.
cept where lease provisions require
developments or forfeiture 1t was
pre1ictod that when tn Kansas leg
islature met the Standard would in
crease the price OF oil, but it has TAX
en- the opposite course.

DEMONSTRATIONS WILL NOT BE QUIETEO
Defeated in Council, Those Who
Oppose Proposed Action Now In
tend to Go Into Court
with the Fight.

Even after the city council has passed an
ordinance providing for the pavement of
Twenty-fOurth street 1t looks as If the
work would not be done this year. Some
of those who have demonstrated declared
yesterday that an attempt on the part of
the city council to let contracts for this
paving or to issue bonds will be opposed.
Injunction proceedings are talked of and
some of the demonstrators have secured
the services of an attorney to put stop to
the work.
Mayor Koutsky said last evening that
the council will not take any steps to go
ahead with the paving until Monday night,
City Engineer Bealr is expected home on
Monday, and it will be necessary for him
70 supply some data regarding the assess
ment per lot before special tax for the
payment of the paving can be introduced.
Even after the city attorney reported that
the petition of the demonstrators does not
contain a sufficient number of names to
make 1t binding, and the council passed
the pending ordinance, the members Of the
council are stin dubious about the outcome.
