Oil Prices and the
Cost of Production

The price of everything that goes
into an oil we'll or is connected with
it has advanced out of all proportion
to the advance in the price of crude
oil. The following figures taken from
the books of an oil producer in the
Oil City district, of the cost of materi-
al now and previous to the war, show
where the producers profits go if he

From February s, 1918, to April II,
1914, Pennsylvania crude oil at the
wells brought $3.50 barrel. Since
February 8, 1918, the market price
has been 81 barrel. This shows an
increase of go per cent, or a little less
than half the percentage increase of
cost of material.
These figures apply to the Oil City
district, where one string of shallow
casing is used, and the average drill

depth increases longer strings Of

and cites these occurrences: One young
fellow agreed to work if paid $50 a
New-York tribune., 1918-06-03

S220,000,000 and current deposits $274,-
100000, making a total increase of
$494,000,000. Following are compara-
tive figures:

Savings dep. 1898, $4,000 s558,50e, 900
Current dep. 933, 3,644,000 659,399,0o0
This growth is in spite of the fact
that Canadians have loaned the govern
ment $750,000,000 during that period.
On this amount the government will
pay half yearly interest charges in
June, aggregating over 100000. War
bond interest revenues, while distrib-
uted over the entire Dominion, will
place the people in a position where
they can utilize more money for invest

and casualty lists are sure soon to
bring directly home to us daily the
fact that all of us are in the war.

hereby proclaim Saturday, March
23rd, 1918, War Savings Day in this
community, and | now call upon all
our people to join in the concerted
effort to bring this great war move
ment into the homes of the commu-

the end that at the close of that day
no person. man, woman or child can
be found in this locality who has

the year. Let there be no slackers

whoever is not for the government

Dog Killing Sheep.

The following appeared in The
Jackson Daily News:
have letter from a gentleman
in Pearl Riyer county in which he
makes this statement:
A farmer who owned flock OF
sheep killed a sheep-killing dog; the
owner of the dog dragged the dog
out on the sheep range and killed
thirty-five sheep and piled them up
on the dog and sent word to the
farmer where he would find the
sheep. Such a man as this should
not receive any more consideration
at the hands of the good people of
Mississippi than German spies.
"One of our representatives told
the writer that when he went to one
of his neighbors and told him that
his dog had killed some sheep for
him. and asked the dog owner to
please confine his dog or kill him.
He was told by the owner of the dog
that his dog had just as much right
in these woods as his sheep.
1T appears to me. Mr.. Editor.
that the opponents Of a good and
effective dog law are standing 10y
ally by and endorsing the actions OF
just how such undesirable citizens
as the two men spoken of above. l
feel very grateful that live in that
part of Mississippi where just such
men as these two ignorant fellows
are all dead. II we get a good eff
fective Dog Bill passed, such unde-
as the above two men will
hunt for a climate where the rights
If just such citizens are upheld by
The wide awake, progressive law
makers of the State, who continue
70 record their votes against an ef-
|ective and efficient dog law.
