CLEAR NEED TO
SAVE GASOLINE
Oil Man Offers Figures
Proving Need Of New
Reserve.

New York, Sept 1.-"German prop
sganda Is doubtless responsible for
the vicious rumor. given currency in
Washington. that the 'gas-less' Sun
day ruling was part Of a scheme to
advance or TO prevent decrease in
the price OF gasoline" said H. F.
Sinclair, president OF the Sinclair on
& Refining Corporation, and a MEM
ber OF the National Petroleum War
Service Committee, when asked to-
day for his opinion.
1T Is to Germany's interest 20 stir
up discord and suspicion in this coun-
try, especially II 1t may hamper one
Of the vital Industries.
There is at present large supply
OF gasoline, IL we consider merely
the total number OF gallons but TO
maintain a large supply or gasoline
Is as essential as to maintain Amer
ica's bank reserve.
The United States Bureau Of Mines
reports 41s,44O.353 gallons OF gasoline
on hand June 30 1913, this being the
latest report available. The supply
decreased more than 100000 gallons
in three months from March u to
June %. Consumption OF gasoline has
exceeGed BdsOluc
ily since April. 1913
IS Days supply.
THE apparent daily consumption OF
gasoline in June was II, ,g7, ,3Sz gal
Ions, this figure being based upon the
Bureau of Mines report as to pro-
duction during the month and supply
on hand at the beginning and end
Of the month. In other words, at the
indicated rate OF consumption in June
3 days supply was on hand.
"One month earlier, there was 80
days supply on hand, 40 days supply
on April 30, 81 days supply on March
81, and 81 days supply on February Is.
Relatively speaking, therefore, the
supply OF gasoline on June 30 as re-
ported by the United States Bureau
Of Mines was less than half the sup
ply on February IS, though actually
the decrease Of supply was not quite
% per cent.
IN the first half Of 1917 the appar-
ent consumption OF gasoline was
S,552.ss gallons daily. During the first
half OF 1913 the apparent consumption
Of gasoline was 9,125.s26 gallons daily,
an increase OF almost 10 per cent.
Obviously, as the volume Of business
increases a larger reserve is neces-
sary. But the actual supply on June
20, 1913, was not quite Is per cent
arger than on June 30, 1917.
Growing Consumption.
The heaviest drains on the gaso-
line supply normally come in August
and September. In August a year
ago the apparent consumption was
a,54s, ,905 gallons daily. This was the
record. and it will be appreciated still
more when It Is remembered that dur
ing the year 1916 the average produc-
ion of gasoline was only 5,625,35 gal
ons daily. This year the increase in
consumption after the midwinter lull
vas more rapid. The average in Feb
ruary was 6,292,64O gallons daily, in
March S.452. 9O9. in April 1882. IA. and
in May II, S69. So gallons daily.
In the face Of such figures It
would be dangerous to permit the sup
plies to fall much below the present
figures. especially when II is realized
that the increase in production of
gasoline has taxed to the utmost the
ability Of refiners."

". S. S. TO SUPERSEDE
OLD YULETIDE CARDS
Will Combine Practical Patriotism
and Christmas Sentiment.

The time-honored Christmas greet
ing card, as we'll as a large variety
of holiday gifts usually classified as
nonessential. bid fair to be super
seded this year by another card
which combines practical patriotism
with the usual sentiment. These
cards, while issued in varying forms,
are generally known on the market
as Thrift Greeting Cards. with
slit or envelope attached in which
to place a war savings or thrift
stamp. 1t bears an appropriate greet
Ing or verse.
The idea IS in line with the sugges-
ton the District War Savings Com
mittee will later urge with vigor, ad-
vocating the giving Of war stamps in
place Of less practical gifts. With
manufactures of Christmas gifts
greatly curtailed this year, It is
pointed out that W. S. s. gifts as
substitute will not only be acceptable
tokens Of remembrance, but will also
serve to help win the war.

of potatoes this spring? ItreQuiees
 10 to l2 bushels of potatoes to plant acre. So, if you have not al- ready done so, arrange to get the seed. The early maturing yarie- ties are considered best for the South, because they mature before the excessive heat of summer. and are likely to keep better than the other varieties which mature later.
 The Red Bliss and Bliss Triumph are the very best varieties for us to grow. The Ohio and the Irish Cobbler are also good varieties. If you have supply of home grown potatoes from your fall crop that are in good condition, plant these. If you wish further information on the Irish potato, write to J. s. Knox with the Extension Division. Old Statahouse, Little Rock, Ark.

Deaths in British Forces.

Now that American troops are taking their places in the trenches attention is again directed to an es- timate by the secretary of war, that the losses up to June 1, 1917, ot the British expeditionary forces from deaths in action and from wounds amounted to but z pei cent of the total number of all mer sent to France since the beginning of the war.
 The ratio of this character today because of improved tactics, is less than z to evoly 100 men.

fOr County and Probate Judge.

By referring to our announce ment column this week, you will notice the name of one of the very best men in Union county aspiring to be County and Probate Judge He was born six miles south of Fl Dorado, and has lived there all these years, raising large family and educating them, earning the money to do so on the farm, and as commanded to do in the Holy Writ, In the sweat of his face
 For twenty years he served as school director and for three years superintendent of county roads, under his brother. the late Judge w. Nj. VanHook. During that time the improvement of the roads all over this county were so marked, we take it that everybody knows of his good service.
 The truth is, he has been a suc- cess at everything he undertakes. He has a good common school edu- cation and fair knowledge of the law, having kept up with the enact ments of the legislature, and stu dent for years of the digest, and an mate desire to do right between man and man. So you see he is well qualified for this honorable and important position.
 We take it that the people at this time are more interested m the public roads than anything else, and we submit to you, MT. Voter, that he can perform these duties which are incumbered upon the county judge, better than a lawyer, and we have his word, which has never been broken, that he will give the roads of this county his personal attention.
 No man ever had a better neigh bor; he is that which is best in manhood, and represents that which is best in government, so we name him the Hon. R. R. VanHook.

Notes on Recruiting.

Men with railroad experience are wanted for the railway service of the army. This is an exceptional opportunity for railroad men.
 Men not subject to draft under the salective service law, and be- tween the ages l8 to 21 and 5l to Al. and whose applications for en- li8tment have been approved by the office of the chief of engineers, Washington. D. C., can enlist in a number of engineer organizations.
 Skilled mechanics are desired for enlistment in the aviation corps. It has been found hard to obtain ef- ficient mechanics for this service, and an appeal is made to skilled mechanics who will volunteer their services for this corps It is thought that there are number of men throughout the state who are q lalifed for this service, and who are not of draft age, who would en- list in this branch of service.
 Any information relative enlist ing in the army can be had by ap- plying or writing to Recruiting Of fioer, U. s. Army, Main ard Mark ham Sts, Little Rock, Ark.

 It would be a fine thing if every one in the state could visit Camp Pike. l believe that 1t is really worth a considerable sacrifice to come even though you may not have no relatives here, or do not expect to have. It really doesn't t give much idea of the place to say that there are more than thous- and buildings or that so many tons of aails, or so many million feet of lumber were used. Even a state ment that there are 50.0OO men cant convey the real spirit of the camp.
