A shortage Of gasoline at this criti,

Of all our national activities which
would in turn retard our war program.
We want no false economy, money will

let nothing happen to interrupt our
daily activities. It is the patriotic OBJ
legation placed at the door Of every

operations during the coming year.
Total Prediction u
The total daily gasoline production
is 6,S49, 900 gallons, so with q cam.
paign against waste, It can be seen
that the war needs should be cared for
easily and still have ample for our
industrial needs. The production Of
crude oil in the United Slater has been
increasing at q tremendous rate for q
number Of years, although during the
past twelve months 1t has not quite
kept pace with the demand, so that it
has been necessary to use quantities
of the reserve supply, which amount
ed to 164 $4,000 barrels on July 1,
1917. There are ALL, 900 motor vehi-
Giles running in this country Of ours,
of which approximately 100000 are
trucks. There are 27,S00 dealers and
25,50o garages. or the 6,S49,000 gal
Ions Of gasoline produced daily, ap-.
proximately 100000 gallons are used
by motorcycles, motor cars and trucks,
while the rest is used by motor boats,
stationary engines and In cleasningI
and other industries. -"
How TO Save
The bureau Of mines estimates that
the following savings can be effected
daily:
Tank wagon losses 1900 gallons.
Leaky carburetors, average 1-17th Of
pint per car, 31,400 gallons.
Poorly adjusted carburetors, y pint
per car, 240, 900 gallons.
Motors running idle, Y pint per car,
10000 gallons.
Wasted in garages, 10 pints per day,
81, 900 gallons.
Can be saved by using kerosene in
garages, 10S, 900 gallons.

CHARLESTON GETS IT

Over hundred cities strove for the
location OF the government armor
plate and projectile factories. among
them Wheeling, provided for by Con
gress. but Of course only one city
could be awarded the plum, and The
Intelligencer offers its warmest felici-
ta1ons to the capital OF the State,
Charleston. in landing the prize.
Charleston possesses no natural ad.
rantages over Wheeling. not even the
important one Of geogra phicl seclu-
sion from possible Invasion during
war. The free sites offered by Charles
Ton, probably weighed materially in
the scale in favor of the pushing, en-
terprising metropolis Of the Kanawha
Valley.
It Is no discredit to the upper Ohio
Valley that this substantial addition
to her industrial activity was lost to
her. as the material advantages that
attracted the plant 10 the kanawha
Valley exist in protusion here. Wheel
ing is plucking no sour grapes. nor
does she entertain any heavy disap-
pointmsnt over the decision Of the
Navy Department.

PRESENTATIONS PATRIOTS

in his obtaining an audience with
President Wilson. which afforded him
the opportunity of pressing his scheme

him. for service in France. The per
sistence OF Col. Roosevelt in putting
this proposition personally up to the
President, may appear to some or his
admirers as fine unSelish display of
devotion to the country, but to many
impartial observers ii takes on more
al the character OF self-devOtion. This

WHO KILLED THE SHEEP?

Ever since the free trade element
of the Democratic party gained as
cendancy it marked the sheep industry
as one of its particular victims. There
is no speculation about this. There
are facts and figures for it. 1t is
shown from government statistics that
in 1881 the total number Of sheep
in this country was 5Q.3Go.OOo. That
was the year Grover Cleveland was
first elected President. Al the end OF
his term 1883, the number OF sheep
had dropped to 1850, 600. In the next
four Years il rose to 4T.9973,00o, but in

suits from farm labor. Any farmer in

the Director of Agricultural Extension
at Morgantown.
The director impresSes nr0u us that

But if our labor supply is reduced b.

be all the more necessary 70 provide
for more efficient uutiiIation OF

The farm labor must bc better di'
rected, whether 1t Is. done by the
farmer himself or by the hired man.
The ambitious. successful farmer
knows that the hired men work the
best when the owner IS working with
them and sets the pace. This IS not
time for the West Virginia farmer
10 be content in merely directing the
labor on his farm; the Nation needs
the labor OF his hands as well. Even
though 4 man may have GOOD IN

coal, oil. or gas. such income Is no
excuse for his being idle now. Inc

The lecture was on Alaska and was il- lustrated by moving pictures and Ian tern slides covering Alaska from the Pacific to the Arctic. Included in the list of pictures were scenes along the White Pass & Yukon Railroad, the Copper River X Northwestern Railroad, pictures of Rampant House Indians, the Midnight Sun on the Porcupine river, pack trains, a bath
