MARKETS FOR OIL ABROAD

There should soon be a perceptible
revival of the normal foreign oil
trade. During the war the civilian
population of all countries affected
by the clashing of arms, has had
famine rations so far as oil products
have been concerned. Now the war
is ended and foreign oil consumers
will have supplies for their needs
This should mean an immediate in
crease in oil shipments abroad. Gas
olne fuel oil and kerosene dre
bound to be in large demand. The
Wall Street Journal, in an article on
this subject says:
There is every reason to expect
that for the next three years, at
least, there will continue an unpre-
cedented demand for oil. During
that period it is likely that the prin-
cipal problem before the industry
will not be one of competition but
OF supplying the steadily increasing
demand for its products.
The leading Standard Oil COM
panies are now carrying out a 81

THE MID CONTINENT
LIFE INSURANCE CO.

Among the noteworthy financial
institutions of this state the Mid

has taken its place to stay as a
permanent Oklahoma institution.
In addition to it as being strong fl
nancially and amply able to protect

denced by its capital and surplus,
the MidContinent Life has a human
side. When we were plunged into
war it was one Of the first to work
out an equitable plan for Is policy
holders who might engage in war
over seas. All premiums were re-
funded plus a liberal interest in
case of death. Now that the war
is over, the company comes right 10
the fore with its announcement that
all war restrictions are off, A most
liberal and attractive line of policies
are issued by the Mid-Continent
Life. Full legal reserves are de-
posted with and held by the state
treasurer, and the State Insurance
Commissioner fully approves the
company in every way.

APPLE GROWER
TESTIFIES At
FOOD HEARING
Former Congressman Pollard
Tells Why Nebraska
Fruit Is Shipped East
for Sale.

Lincoln, Aug. 30.-(Special.)-,
Nebraska apples are acknowledged
to be the better apple and better
keepers than New York or Oregon
apples, according to former Con-
gresham Ernest M. Pollard OF Ne
hawka, Neb., who was on the stand
in the food investigation which is
being held at the state house.
Mr.. Pollard is we'll known
throughout the west as one of the
biggest apple growers in the coun-
try and stands we'll with the other
fruit men of the west. He denied
the charge made by a representa-
tive of a Lincoln jobbing house that
Nebraska Vaisers of apples plug
ged" the barrels when packing the
fruit by putting the good ones on
top and bottom of the barrel and
the poor ones in the middle.
Nebraska Apples Best.
Mr.. Pollard said that it was true
that Nebraska apples went to the
east. He gave as the reason that
dealers in the east were partial to
the Nebraska fruit as it sold bet
ter and kept longer than eastern
fruit and eastern men purchased
all the Nebraska apples they could
get. He said that Nebraska job
bers appeared to have prejudice
against Nebraska apples and will
not pay what others are willing to
pay for them.
Congressman Pollard is a men,
Der of the Central Fruit Growers
association and when asked if he
had ever tried to sell apples to To-
cal jobbers he rather demurred on
answering, saying that they were
friends OF his, but inasmuch as the
people were anxious to know the
facts, he would tell his expert
ence.
Relates His Experience.
He said that his association at
one time had apples stored in Lin
coin, Omaha and Minneapolis. The
first week they did a good business.
the next week it had fallen off
about one-half and the next week it
was gone entirely. Grocers refused
to buy, although they admitted the
apples were all right and the price
right. Finally one man acknowl-
edged that Lincoln jobbers had
notified the dealers that if they
bought their apples of Pollard they
would have to buy all the rest of
the stuff from him.
Next week the apple proposition
will be taken up again and other
prominent growers will be called
to give their testimony.

MUCH OPIUM IS !
SMUGGLED> INTO
MEXICO BY JAPS
crug Shipped as "Cigars"
Sent Over Line in Auto
mobiles Equipped With
Double Gasoline Tanks.

Mexico City, Aug. 30.-A ship
ment of crude opium consigned as
Japanese "cigars" was imported in
to Mexico. through Salina Cruz on
March 80, 1917, from Kobe, Japan,
according to declarations made by
w. E. Hermann, described by the
papers here as German banker"
in a deposition made in, court. fol-
lowing a vigorous anti-opium CAM
paign by the press.
Except for a raid by police and
health officials and the legal in
quiry in which Hermann figured,
the opium expose has not been
pressed in the courts. Although
Herman, in his disposition, did not
give the size of the shipment i'm
ported in 1917. the newspapers de-
clare it totalled 5000 Kilograms and
that, at present prices, was valued at
100000 pesos. In the raid crude
opium valued at $4,000 pesos was
seized it is said and thousands of
tiny empty tins, supposedly used for
retailing the prepared drug, were
found.
According to the newspapers, the
profits of the opium trade, on the
one shipment referred to, ran into
millions of pesos. 1t is said that an
involved system of smuggling re-
suited in most Of the narcotic being
sold in the United States. 1t was
shipped as cigars" sent over the
line in automobiles equipped with
double gasoline tanks and carried
across in hand baggage by a band
of Germans. according to the revela-
tons here.
Since the Mexican law does not
prohibit importations of opium, the
federal department of health being
concerned only in its sale, the drug
dealers confined their operations to
sales by devious methods in the
United States. Branches of the or
ganization are said to have oper-
ated at Nuevo Laredo, Mex, New
York and San Francisco.
During their campaign against
the traffic, the papers printed
charges and names Of personages as
though libel laws did not exist.
