Drop in Price Expected.

Automobile owners and others. take
notice.
Prediction of cheaper oil and gasoline
is made by the bureau of mines. on
the strength of reports from field
agents in the Oklahoma fields. Owing
to the great activity of producers in
Oklahoma. together with maximum
production by the older established
producers in other states. it is believed
that there will be a gradual drop in
the price of gasoline as the result of
the increased supply.

necessary if the business of the courts
are ever to be brought up to date. The
remaining space on this floor will be
used by the clerk of the court.

one above the main floor, is to be en-
tirely replanned. The height of the
ceiling will be increased and portions
of this floor which has been used only
for storage purposes will be made
available.

bers OF the court and for the two hoped
for additional ones will be located here.

down, except for keeping up fires un-
der boilers. in kilns IN which are tile,
burning of which was commenced be-
fore the strike was declared on, there
was said this morning to be some
prospect that today might see an
agreement reached.
No one seemed particularly optim-
istic on either side, but there WAS some
hope that the differences might be ad-
justed during the day, tho no one
seemed to know just when or how, or
which side would give concession, or
what they would be.
Altho practically every man N the
employ Of the Mason City Brick and
Tile company's four plants, The Amer
lean TWO. and the North Iowa's left

burning.
No forecast was hazarded by any
one, however, as 10 "beil, II d. dill "-A'
attempt would be made to resume OPP
arations on a larger scale, should It be
decided upon before settlement Of the
strike.
No Disorders.
The police did not have single call
growing out Of the strike. Last night
the police business was even lighter
than usual. partly because OF the bad
weather, but 10 a greater degree be-
cause they have Of late been successful
