fearful that thousands of the Amer

OF the German automobile industry
1t is said here that S0DO0 American

biles and bicycles Experts say that
Americans have stored up quantities
of tires in the occupied territory

manufacturer cannot meet
There is no question in the minds
of the Germans that there is an
adequate supply of rubber in the
world and the financial papers say
that rubber production was more
than doubled from 1918 to 1918. They
say that lack of Transportation pre-.

OIL FIELDS FAILING
That Is the Report Which Comes
From Oklahoma State.
UNITED Press Dispatch.1


Oklahoma City, October 23.-Okla-
homa's oil-ffelds are failing. operators
think.
Since 1917 production has shown
steady decline ranging from 5000
TO 1000 barrels a day. and now, with
the continuing decreases operators
are confidently expecting price in
creases for, the raw products. A dis
covery of new fields is the only al
tentative, they say.
Thirty one out of Oklahoma's sew
enty seven counties yield either oil
or gas and comprise the richest de-
posits in America. Their contribu-
tion now is about 21S,000 barrels
daily, according to figures offered by
the state auditor, who collects three
per cent tax on gross production
More than So 100000 had been col
lected by the state this year at the
beginning of the present quarterly
period, and this did not include about
e-third Of the production which is
from Indian lands. 10

NEW TRUCK LINE

w. w. Savage Of GAINESVILLE Is at
Head of the Venture.
w. w. Savage of GAINESVILLE has re-
Gently purchased of the local dealer
a REQ Speedwagon and has announc-
ed his intention of establishing a
truck line between Mankato anu
Owatonna, says The Waseca Journal :
Radical.
The venture is undertaken, Il Is
reported, because of the rail condi-
lions which prevail at present and
which many consider very slow ana
inadequate. The undertaking will
he in the nature of an experiment,
but Mr.. Savage has hopes that IL
will prove. a paying proposition once
it is in working order.
For the last couple of years a pas
senger and freight line of this kind
has been conducted between Manka-
to and Elysian and has been so sue
cessful that recently another car has
been added to the equipment in ord
er to make the service more COM
plete.
In that case, however, the truck line

with the train service of the North
western line.
With the advent of hard surfaced
roads there is no doubt that the auto
truck will eventually be brought
more and more into competition
with the railroads and it is not i'm
probable that the continued improve
ment Of the Black and Yellow trail
along the route Mr.. Savage purposes
establishing his truck line will insure
its success

PLANS MADE FOR DRneu
RED CROSS ROLL CALL
FROM now TO II
Teams Will Be Engaged In the
Work Of Solicitation; Be-
come Members

Plans for the membership drive
which will take place on Sunday. Mo-
vember 2, are well matured. Over
$50 men and women will compose the
teams who will make house to
house convass of the city. 1t has rec
emily been announced from divisional
headquarters that all workers are re-
quired to wear their Red Cross uni
forms while engaged in the drive. 1t
is expected that not one royal Amer
lean in Mankato will be A. w. o. L.
when the canvassers call.
Red Cross workers who have rem
dered 800 hours service, and whose
names have been handed in to the
chapter, may secure their certificates
at the Red Crss office in the Richards
building. Any one holding certifi-
cate of service is entitled to wear
the honor medal which may be pur-
chased for the sum Of 81. These med
ais are very handsome and are well
worth having. A certificate and medal
is also given for 400 hours service.
These also may now be secured at
the office of the chapter.
Among the many reasons for uni
versal membership in the Red Cross
is the fact that it is the disaster re-
lief agent of the American people.
During the period extending between
1881 and 1905 the American Red
Cross expended the sum of $685.
444.64 in disaster relief. This does
not include the fifteen war relief op-
erations in different parts of the
world An average of dozen disas-
tiers a year-calamities too large for
local relief measures to suffice-is
shown in the Red Cross records since
1905 and an interesting fact in con-
nection with the detailed report is
that the disasters during the years
1916 and 1917 were more than double
that of any other single years. Sure
ly no greater argument could be adj
vanced for renewal of membership
and support.
The first meeting of the Study class
on Family Work was held at the Red
Cross rooms Wednesday morning.
About twenty people have expressed
their desire to join the class. At this
first meeting a tentative program was
discussed and the subject of the. next

Alarm the Household

They Managed to Steel Auto and Not
Alarm the Household.
Owatonna, October 23.-Harnessing
horse and then hitching the animal
to an automobile to haul it far enough
away from the house so that the
sound of the engine could not be
heard, automobile thieves made their
first haul of the year in this county
early Tuesday morning at the home
of Mrs. Rose Sanders on the Waseca
road about two miles from Owatonna.
The stolen machine is five pas
senger 1919 model Ford. 1t carried
a Minnesota license No. 227480 and
its motor No. is 309502S. The left
front fender is bent and the left front
wheel is wobbly.
The theft was not discovered until
latter daylight Tuesday morning when
the horse, used to pull the car from
the garage to the road, was found
hitched to pole. The thieves had
tied the animal near the spot where
they started the car on the main
highway. The theft is believed to
have taken place sometime between
one and two o'clock. Occupants OF
the Sanders home heard the dog
barking furiously at this time but did
not make an investigation. The
thieves evidently spent some time
in making preparations to haul the
machine away from the garage be-
cause they entered the barn and har-
messed the horse and also removed a
single tree from wagon which they
attached to the machine.
Sheriff Leehy was notified of the
theft shortly after it was discovered
and Immediately notified the sur
rounding towns. !. He has also posted
$25 reward notice throughout the
state
