GASOLINE PRICE is
STILL GOING UP
Demand For Fluid Has Caused Recent
Advances In Price--Supply Not
Equal to Demand.

Atheists and others who use gaso-
line for fuel are wondering where the
price of that fluid will go If the adyance
that has been made within the past
couple months continues. The price o.
gasoline has been soaring for some
time, and the indications are that IL
will continue to do so for the reason
that the supply is not near equal to the
demand.
There is a vast amount of gasoline
used in Martinsburg. not only In the
hundreds of automobiles which travel
the streets of the city, but the motor.
cycles call for great deal OF It, Then
the auto tourists, who reach this city
always stop and make purchases. aud
this assists In keeping up the price
short time ago a good grade of gas
oline could be purchased at reason
able price, but it was not long until
it reached the price Of Is cents. The
best grade now sells for 10 cents per
gallon, and it will probably be a great
deal higher,
Within the past few years there has
been a large amount OF gasoline made
at the old oil wells. This is what is
termed as casing head" gasoline and
1t is just as good il not better than
the others which are turned out from
the refineries. AS rule 1t is OF a
higher grade, has more power and is
easier to handle. However. with. this
method of making il the supply is not
equal to this demand and there will
probably be another advance within a
short time.
