mental computation, that not less than
10 per cent Of all the petroleum taken
from the wells is converted into lu-
bricating oil. As the estimate for
1918 fixes the amount of petroleum
produced from American wells at
$40. ooo. 900 barrels (Mr. Williams in fact
fixing the amount at 3t5, 600. 600 barrels
in 1919. II is reasonable to assume
that something over $4,000. 900 barrels
Of lubricating oil were furnished last
year by processes which utilize Pc
troleum-
soon, 900 Barrels Exported.
OF this amount 5000, 900 barrels were
exported to our allies. These figures
of themselves suggest the magnitude
of the use of oil for lubricating pur-
poses. DIR. Acheson is convinced that
1t will be possible to reduce the
amount of oil used for lubricating
purposes by at least 80 per cent and
yet secure a better fabrication than
the oil now furnishes. II this be pos
sible then there will be set forth an
illustration of one of the ways by
means of which conservation OF our
oil production may be secured and
by q large amount This can be made
possible by the utilization in connec-
ton with oil of an inexhaustibfe lu-
bricating resource.

greatly to increase the life of this

that public opinion acting in full SYM

ton of measures whereby this vital

RURAL SCHOOLS
GO FORWARD
Many School Districts Voting Extra
Lcyies and Erecting New RuiIdinps.

Many School Districts Voting Extra
Lcvics and Erecting New Buildings.
Mr.. Wilson, County Superintendent
of Education, states that much inter-
est is being shown in the schools Of
Luarens county by the trustees and
patrons. Because Of the compulsory
attendance law bringing many new
pupils into school, there Is an urgent
need for more teachers, more room
and seating capacity. The question
Of state aid plays an important part
In many schools at this time, states
Mr.. Wilson. State aid, under the term
extension law, the rural graded school
law and the high school law, may be
withheld when any teacher has more
than nifty pupils In classroom.
According to reports from the trus-
tees many school are preparing for
these needs, in the way of f'voting more
taxes and building more commodious
buildings. Shiloh, Friendship, Grays,
l1anford. Merna, Mt. Bethel, Poplar,
Mt Gallagher, Cross Hill, Long
Branch and Laurens have voted an
additional levy. Prospect and Cen
trail, at present, are planning to make
additional levies. Shiloh is building
a modern school building on the same
plan as that by which Bethany was
Du1lt some years ago. Poplar Is re-
modelling it's old building into a mod
ern building. Among other schools
that arc planning for new buildings
are Merna, Princeton, Long Branch,
Belfast and Lisbon Wade and Pine
Grove have uaitcd and built a now
modern building. In addition to these
the negroes are awakening to the need
Of better school houses and are plan
ming to build in several districts.
Watts Mills and Laurens Mill have
employed an all-time teacher for
adults. Mr.. Swcaringcn, state SUPER
intcndcnt OF Education, states that
l.aurcnS county is the first county to
have teacher giving full time 10 this
work.
