of land has been taken over by the big companies
which companies will bring in many big wells
and sell you and me" gasoline at about thirty
cents gallon, netting themselves profit per-

others to KNOW the immense profit there is in
it

bit of Ferris o. 'Brien stock-take chance along
with the big fellows-dont give it all to them
grab off little for yourself so that when you
buy gallon of gasoline you can do it with
smile on your face.

There are TWENTY-FIVE rigs now in the

The Capital published several days

OF Interest
The Board Of Civilian Reorganiza-
ton was appointed BY Admiral Eberle,
but made It's report to Admiral Scales.
About the time the new superinten-
dent arrived, conditions were any
thing but favorable for the hopes Of
the civilian instructors. The consent
3f the Navy department to the pro-
posed reorganization could not have
been obtained without the strong en-
iorsement OF strong superintendent.
The war record of Admiral Scales
as commander Of one of the Anleri-
can battlesEips with the British Grand
Fleet and hts experience IN handling
large affairs as Commandant of the
Great Lakes Training Station gave
prestige and weighs to his opinion.
He lis known to have thought that
the work of the Academy could not be
maintained at high standard with
out radical Improvement II the
status Of large part Of the teaching
stan.
Ha action after the board had
formed its report was vigorous and
successful Several times IN the early
morning the superintendent battle-
gray car was seen departing for
washington, as noted at the time BY
the Capital He spared no personal
exertion in carrying the matter
through number of very difficult
stages The accomplishment Of sub-
stantiaily what the board recommend
ed Is undoubtedly due to Admiral
Archibald Scales.

gave out the following statement to-
day:
The federal government assumed
CONTROL of the property and business
Of this company on August ], 1918.
Since that time II has been operated
under government supervision The
Act OF Congress under which the gov
ernnent took ovef the control pro-
vided that the corporation should be
paid just compensation for the use
OF its property. and contract was
made covering this compensation.
This contract provides for the up-keep
OF the property, continuance Of the
past high grade Of service, and the
payment of interest and dividends at
the same rates as heretofore. There
fore. the moneys now collected for
telephone service belong to the gov
ernment.
But, even under government con-
troll. there is no reason why the bus
mess should be operated At q loss. 70
do SO means that deficit must be
paid out of taxation. At the rates
now being charged, there Is not
enough revenue to meet expenses, and
ii is imperative that the rates for local
service be Increased. The telephone
business, just like the individual, has
been suffering from steadily increas-
Ing costs Every means possible has
been applied to meet this difference
between revenue and expenses BY
economies. but We have reached the
point now where the business must
have increased revenue II II Is to
maintain satisfactory service and
not result IN direct loss to the gov
ernment.
Every effort has been made towards
making the burden Of this Increase
