GaSOIene Barrels
Must Be Returned.
To The People of Tennessee:

To The People of Tennessee:
A careful investigation by this
office reveals the fact that one Of
the reasons for the scarcity of gas
oline in Tennessee is that people to
whom gasoline is shipped in iron
barrels are not taking proper steps
to return the barrels, which the
present war situation renders neces-
sary.
Therefore, strongly urge my
people to Immediately empty the
iron barrels and return them
promptly to their owners. By do.
ing this you will greatly improve
the gasoline situation, and will be
helping the movement Of badly
needed gasoline to our troops ia
Europe.
