Of Commerce in Washington would
present each business man In the coun-

would be of great benefit to the ma

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE resolution
passed by the senate calling upon the
interior department for all the infor-
nation in its possession regarding the
recent jumps In the price OF gasoline
and the causes therefor. introduced by
Senator McCumber OF North Dakota.
may be made the basis of far-reach-
ing investigation so declared Nc
Cumber In speech to the senate.
Official government figures disclose
that in the face Of rising prices of
gasoline the production Of crude pc
1914, although production was "pur-
posely retarded as far as practicable; 1"
that reserve stocks Of crude petroleum
now held in the country are the larg-
est ever recorded, and that exports of
/ gasoline, to which the rise in prices
frequently has been attributed, were in
the last 10 months Of 1915 less than
the exports In the corresponding pc
Rod of the two years previous.
A statement issued by the Geolog-
| ical Survey estimated the 1915 produc-
ton Of market petroleum at 267 400, 900
barrels, 1000 barrels more than N
| 1914. The statement adds:
This does not agree with the cur
rently reported reason for the excep-
tionally high prices now prevailing for
motor fuel. AS a result of the overload
put on the transporting and refining
| phases Of the petroleum industry by
/ the excess output of 1914, the yeaI
| 1915 may be characterized as a period
| Of readjustment In which production
activity was purposely retarded as far
as practicable. The small increase
therefore is more significant than the
| simple figures indicate"
A low petroleum price level was
reached in April, and until August the
price remained at S135 a barrel for
/ the market standard. Then the price
! began to soar, and on Dec. II petrol
cum was selling at s2.15, and indica-
tons are that the price soon will reach
( $3.50, its previous high record.
One production fact brought out by
! the survey is that crude petroleum
stocks held in reserve, the largest ever
known, increased 100000 barrels in
1915, and at present more than 100000
600 barrels are held. Field storage
by producers accounts for 24,000,0OC
| ha pF
| Export figures for the first 10 months
Of 1915 show that gasoline exports
dropped far below the same period in
1914, and slightly below 1918. During
the 10 months ending with October
98,471, 466 barrels left the United
States against 14o,275,273 for the same
period in 1914, and 1O0,353,S71 in 1913
Officials familiar with the situation
say the recent discovery by DR.. Wal.
ter F. Rittman, a government chemist
Of process for obtaining from crude
oils 200 per cent more gasoline than
by old methods, probably will have 6
bearing ON both production under the
new method. and their output, and
the output Of others to be started, il
was said, will be felt on the market
soon.

DESIRABLE HOUSE PLANTS

Asparagus plumosus is one of the
most beautiful pot plants. The DARK
green leaves are lacelike and fine fol

Asparagus sprer geri is for vases
hanging baskets and brackets. The
branches droop gracefully in long,
delicate lacelike sprays and are occa-
sionally covered with delicate sweet
scented white blossoms which are sue
ceeded by scarlet berries.
II you have not provided yourself
with hanging basket they can be had

There is nothing lovelier. Oxalis bulbs
make pretty plants and for best ef-
forts should have been bedded some

One of the best palms and the quick

The seeds will germinate as readily
as corn, and the plant will stand dust,
dry air, lack of sunshine and general
neglect, growing right along in any
situation and with any treatment that
will keep geranium alive.
It is compact grower, well adapted

On the Field Of Honor.

In a field in the Department of the
Aisne where the English were beaten
in September, 1914, some Of our terri
torials discovered two isolated mounds
covered over with grass and surmount,
ed by wooden crosses, one Of which
bore the word Tin" and the other the
word Rubbish" Greatly affected, our
territorials gathered flowers, Of which
they made bouquets, which they pious-
ly placed upon the mounds Then,
with a trembling hand, they wrote up.
on the crosses this inscription: Dead
on the Field of Honor!" There the in
scriptions remained until one day,
when an officer, who understood Eng
lish had the sod broken open and dis
covered in one of the mounds many
empty cans, and in the other a lot of
worn-out clothing.-Le Cri de Paris.

A WORD ABOUT PE0NlES

Peonies should be planted in the
autumn early II they are to do well
the first year, October being the
best time for the work. They are
not too particular as to soil: but
in every case this should be well dug
to the depth of IS inches, enriching
Il with manure. which should not,
however, be allowed TO come in con.
tact with the root in planting, but
rather be mixed with the top soil. at
the distance OF a few inches from the
plant.
Peonies are propagated both by
seed and by division; the former plan,
however, is lengthy and troublesome,
as the majority of a batch Of hybrids
will be found worthless, and a large
plot of ground is necessary as a place
OF trial.
They can only be obtained true to
name by division of the roots: but
this should not be attempted until the
plant has been in one place for two or
three years, as they do much better
when undisturbed, when it will ma
ture fine shoots, which year by year
increase in size until the peonies be-
come one Of the grandest sights in
the garden.
During a drought in summer (par-
ticularly when the plant is young) an
occasional soaking with water will
benefit the peony, and every spring
lin March) a mulch of rich soil or
hotbed material should be laid over its
roots.
When peonies are grown in a sep
arate bed an edging of daffodils will
be effective with the crimson shoots
of the peonies in April. The foliage
of many of these plants turns in au-
tumn to various shades of purple,
bronze and crimson, when the plants
again become decorative; and it is a
mistake to cut off the foliage of the
peony directly after Towering, as it
is necessary to the plant while ma.
turing its growth for next season and
makes a mass of not undecorative
green.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1916-01-28

Tall lilies can he grown between
the peonies in a border, choosing the
hardest varieties for a cold situation.
These will make their way between
the foliage of the peonies and look
very handsome after the peonies cease
10 bloom.
Other suitable plants for massing
with peonies are the tall blue and
white delphiniums, Campanula persi.
cifolia lin blue or whitel, pyrethrums,
aquilegias, etc, all of which are
perennials. Carnations are attrac
tive massed with peonies, and will
do well with the same cultivation as
the peonies. For a bouquet for the
home, these splendid flowers are
unique when cut with long stems and
arrange in a bowl with plenty OF
their own foliage TO set them OF.
