years ago.

you introduced that bill every election
year and it hadn got nowhere vet.

that am going to have an artillery
park and rifle range established on the

How the Money Was Spent

Following is an itemized account of
how much money was taken in at the
play and how it was spent in each room
OF the Pickens graded school building
for the DaSt session.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-02-29

Cincinnati, Feb. 2S-The National
Baseball Commission today refused
the application Of Player Tony Smith
a free agent. In making the decision
the commission report said:
at appears that all members OF the
Galveston team were paid in full UP
to Aug. 10, 1915, and that on the Vol
lowing day that city was visited by a
hurricane in which many lives and
much property were lost.
ION the application to suspend op-
erations after August 81 and retain
the privilege OF reserving its players
for the following season.
1.-THE commission denies this play
er's application to be declared a free
agent and holds that under the cir
cumstances the board was justified in
it's action and that at most he suf-
in being required to wait for sixty
days for the six days salary due him.
"The Galveston club was assuredly
entitled to extraordinary considera-
ton because of the exceptional plight
In which it was put by a storm which
wrought ruin in it's path"
The national commission also is
sued a statement relative to the new
rule on players given their uncondi-
tional release by the Federal league.
1t follows:
'In all cases in which a player has
reverted to national agreement
club as the result of his uncondi-
tional release by the Federal League
or any of it's clubs, it is the duty of
the club to which he returns, to
promptly contract with such player,
transfer him to another club or waive
all claim to him in writing.
Major league clubs are instructed
to notify the president of their re-
spective league what action if any has
been taken relative to players which
have reverted to them.
minor League clubs are required to
file similar reports with Secretary
Farrell. In all instances in which the
interested national agreement club

higher percentage Of gasoline, nat-
uraily. than any other big filed in the
world. 1t gives about 80 per cent, gas
oline under the oil process.
California produces about 100, 0o0,-
QUO barrels of petroleum annually.
aalr or this contains no gasoline at
all; the other half only about five
per cent. gasoline"
The United States produces about
SIS per cent. of the worlds entire
petroleum and gasoline supply.
From these figures it is easy TO see
reason to expect continued Increase
OF demand; little reason to hope that
big, new supplies will be opened soon.
China, Peru, Mexico Russia and other
regions have big oil fields. but none
comparable to those Of the United
has been retarded by the war in all
those countries.
Still, there's a remedy. DR.. Ritz
man, inventor of it, explains it thus:
Petroleum contains kerosene, gas
oline. and a lot of other things-all
useful The difference between kero-
sene and gasoline is simply that the
molecules of kerosene are about twice
as big as those of gasoline. They are
otherwise. identical; made Of the
same materials: To make kerosene
into gasoline 1t is only necessary to
break the kerosene molecules in two.
That's hard to do, considering that
drop of petroleum on the head of a
pin contains billion or two Of mole
cules."
But Rittman found the process 10
do it. He can get 80 to 90 per cent.
of gasoline out of Cushing oil. The
California oil, which in its natural
state has no gasoline at all. turns out
40 to so per cent gasoline under
Rtttman's process. All that's needed
is to establish the Rittman system in
all refineries-or some other process
that will accomplish like results-and
the trick is turned. That's what the
reffners are beginning to do. The
Standard OIL company has a different
process that gets much the same re-
suits: a number of independents are
installing the Rittman method. A few
years will see these processes i'm
mensely increase the gasoline pro-
duct, but II the demand confines to
grow the prices will hardly drop
again. All experts believe the day of
gavoline under % cents Is fast pass
ing and that much higher prices will
prevail for a long time at least. Ul-
timately tIere must be found some
substitute and alcohol looks most
promising.

FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS FEVERIsH.
Over Foreign Situation and the Ger
man Offensive in France.

New York, Feb. 28.-The foreign sit
uation, as represented by the delicate
state of the submarine controversy,
and Germany's offensive in France,
cast it's shadow over today's feverish
market. Liquidation was insistent and
the short interest accelerated the de-
cline by a resumption of its recent
aggressive tactics.
Shares of the war group and other
specialties which are wont to follow
the lead of those issues recorded ex-
IRENE losses of three to six points,
while seasoned or investment shares
yielded two to three. There was
marked improvement in the final hour,
the bears rushing to cover on rumors
that Germany had agreed to some
notifications as to attacks on enemy
ships.
Support was lacking most of the
time and the feeble rallies of the mid
session simply accumulated the extent
of the downward trend. Further cause
for uneasiness was occaSioned by ru-
troubles in Mexico, shares of conpa-
MES operating in the southern republic
manifesting acute weakness.
Yet another unsettling feature was
found in the renewal of heavy selling
of Ang1o-F'rench fives, which fell to a
new minimum of SO SIS. Dealings in
these bonds excited much unfavorable
comment and heightened apprehension
regarding new foreign issues which are
likely to be offered in this market.
There were a few neutralizing influ-
ences, such as additional excellent
railway returns for January and re-
marl1able earnings of several of the
leading concerns engaged in the full
f1IIment of war contracts These were
completely ignored, however, in the
sterner. issues of the day.
Almost the sole element of strength
was furnished by Reading, that stock
showing an extreme gain of 2 IL at
80 1-2. The familiar story of an early
distribution of Readings hidden as
SETS" which has served its purpose in
the past, gained currency, but con-
firmation was lacking in authoritative
quarters. Total sales amounted to
S05,000 shares.
With its increase Of $780, 900 in
January operating revenues Northern
Pacific presented quite the best state
ment of any road in it's territory for
that period.
Bonds in general were disposed to
shade, but concessions were mostly
nominal Total sales, par value, ag-
gregated $4,290,000.
United States bonds were unchanged
on call.
