The first process treats crude petroleum by method whereby 200 per cent increase in the output of gasoline is obtained, extracting it from residue and oils that did not give up any gasoline under the old process.

Wet Figures Destroy Themselves

One of the latest stunts of statisticans is to
publish tables of figures showing the per capita de-
poslts in savings banks in Prohibition and license
states. That these socaed statistics are distorted
and false and wholly unreliable, is clearly shown from
the following:
The Beacon, new wet weekly published at East
St Louis Ill, gives the per capita savings in Kansas
banks at $23I.6o; wet writer in the Houghton Line
gives the Kansas savings at $4,000, and the Cham
pion of Fair Play, leading liquor Journal gives the
Kansas savings at $I9173 per capita
This last named paper gives the per capita
ings of Prohibition Maine at $780, and the per
capita savings of license California at $797.18, while
the Beacon the wet paper already quoted places the
per capita savings of Maine at $4o3o1, and the per
capita savings of California at $685.
All these wet writers claim that their statistics
are true, based upon government reports etc. The
wet publicity bureaus should get together and agree
upon set of figures and then stick to Them for they
would then be following the advice of Bob Ingersoll
whose memory they all revere "A lie if consistently
stuck to- is good as the truth"

Good Example to Follow

Mr. d. {. Allan of Forreston when that town was
wet, was elected a member of the Oge county board
OF supervisors. Soon afterwards he informed
It would be part of his official duties to sign the IL
censes which would be hung up in the saloons of the
town. AS result he refused to qualify. The thought
OF having his name displayed dramshop license
as authority for the sale of dseaseinducing, crime
producing poison, too much for Mr. Allan, as it
should be for any man who loves his fellows.
