So. ! cannot tell. am getting so thai

These are the words Of John Il. Wal

the owners of oil wells are responsible
for the tremendous boost in price.
There is a shortage in the produc-
ton of crude oil" said MIR. Walker
"and even at that the men who own

great increase. The Standard Oil Com

the crude petroleum in the New York

The Demand Keeps UP.
1T is an odd thing. but even with the
