Demand for Oil Growing Faster Than Production Output
Must be Increased TO Meet Needs Of the World

THE demands for oil are growing faster
than production condition which is
~ shown by the fact that, in addition to
the immediate mat tketing of all petroleum as
rapidly as it com es from the wells, heavy
drain is being made upon oil in storage If
the needs of the allies are supplied, then pro-
ductior must be increased; and, if produc-
ton is increased, it must be done, mostly, by
the Continent field, the chief districts of
which are Oklahoma, Kansas and northern
Texas The Mid-Continent is now supplying
more than one-third of the oil produced in
the United States. Necessarily, it must
carry its load of war supplies. The older
fields of the Mid-Continent have passed
their zenith in production Whatever in
obtained must be found in the newer pools now
only partly developed it is to the newer fields that the
allies booking for the fuel supply which is to send
their airpanes Germany rush motor trucks to the
front and operate all the machinery which to promote
the against Prussan autocract.

THE NEED FOR OIL.

THE producers of oil have responsibility rest
ing upon them that cannot be shrked. You will
be of invaluable assistance in helping to win
the Your service in this connection is less
important than that of soldiers in the trenches.
Without adequate supplies of petroleum and its prod
ucts armies would be so seriously hampered
that it might well be possible that disaster instead
of victory would be our portion. 1t is of paramount
Importance that there should be no interruption in
the production of oil. The wildcater should be en-
couraged to continue his activity in the knowledge
that his reward will not be crcumscribed. The pro-
ducer should be encouraged and urged to produce,
and at price which will return fair profit upon
his investment keeping in mind the hazards Of the
industry.-Mark L. Requa, chief of the oil depart

than by our own pilots for the reason
that when a fight gets too hot for the
German, he will put his machine in
a spin, and as the chances are nine
out of ten that we are fighting over
German territory, he simply spins
down out of our range, straightens
out before he reaches the ground, and
gets on home to his airdrome. 1t is
useless to follow him down inside the
German lines, for you would in all
probability be shot down before you
can attain sufficient altitude to cross
the line again.
1t often happens that a pilot will
be chasing another machine when
suddenly he sees it start to spin. Per-
hdps they are fifteen or eighteen thou
sand feet in the air, and the hostile
machine spins down for thousands Of
feet. He thinks he has hit the other
machine and goes home happy that
he has brought down another Hun.
He reports the occurrence to the
squadron, telling how he shot down
his enemy; but when the rest of the
squadron come in with their report,
or some artillery observation balloon
sends in a report, it develops that

Der Presidents Gift.

It occurred when Mr.. Taft was pres
ident. He was in Augusta, Ca, and
barbecue was to be given in his honor
at Mr.. G. S. Boilers country place.
Mr.. Taft was expected to be on hand
at a certain hour. The roads were
misleading, and fearing to be late he
bade the chauffeur stop and inquire
directions Of an old negro man who
trudged along. "Can you tell me where
Mr.. Boilers place isT asked the
president
Eyes, sir, kin, cayse I works dar
myself" The way as pointed out was
somewhat vague, so Mr.. Taft told the
old man to jump in by the side of the
chauffeur and act as guide. Upon ar
irving at Mr.. Boilers home, Mr..
Taft gave the old man a 50-cent piece.
Mr.. Boiler, afterward hearing of the
incident, called the recipient, saying
Uncle Tom, hear the president
gave you fifty cents. You ought to
prize that and keep it always as a SOU

Anna Howard Shaw spoke in the as
sembly hall of the Claypool hotel on
the opening evening Of the annual con-
vention Of the Woman's Franchise
League of Indiana. The room was
built to hold 500 persons comfortably
but about 800 were there that evening.
Mrs. Richards Edwards of Peru, presi-
dent of the franchise league, thought
she detected an odor of smoke. From
her position on the stage she sent a
message to Miss Adah Bush, of Kent

Miss Bush left the room for q few

One Quart of Milk.

Doctor Rosenow of Harvard univer-
sity says that the actual food value of
one quart of milk is equal to three
quarter pound of beef, two pounds of
chicken, eight eggs, or two pounds of
Goldfish. Each of these costs more, to
say nothing of the time, labor and fuel
required in preparation. A glass OF
milk costs only 3-4 cents in Corvallis
today. The food value of that glass Of
milk is equal to two large eggs, or a
large serving of lean meat, or two
>moderate-sized potatoes, or five table
spoonfuls of cooked cereal, or two ta-
blespoonfuls of cooked rice, or two
slices of bread. In other words, meal
consisting of one glass of milk and two
slices of bread gives you as much food
value as you would get out of four
eggs.

CTO BE CONTINUED
To Save Foolish Motorist.

The officials of the Long Island
railway have begun another years
campaign to try and prevent motorists
from committing suicide by driving in
front of moving trains. Last year the
Long Island had 100 Embarrassing
gates smashed by automobile drivers.
1t was favorite game to drive at high
speed into these barriers, smash them
and then clear the track just a few
feet ahead of the oncoming train. Mon
days newspapers usually carry long
casualty lists resulting from foolhardy
motorcar drivers, who celebrate Sum
day by going to eternity instead Of
their intended destination. There are
reckless drivers in every state and in
every city of every state. Indianapo-
lis has it's share and sooner or later
they will learn that the game between
the automobile and the locomotive is
an unequal one. The locomotive wins
every time.
