OUTPUT
5000 GAL. DAILY
New Tanks Give Storage Capacity OF
263,0O0 Gallons Of Gasoline
and Kerosene

The mammoth new oil tank for the
Standard Oil Company was finished
last week, and the past four days
have been spent in filling the tank
with water for the purpose of testing
1t for leaks.
The tank, the second of it's size in
the state, has a capacity OF 1905 900
gallons
Gasoline and kerosene are becoming
a bigger factor each year in farming
and other business industries of the
country. Trucks, and tractors have
replaced the workhorse to the extent
that a very large amount of the haul
ing and farm work are o being done
by gas or oil pulled machines.
In Miller, the output Of gasoline
alone is estimated at 5000 gallons
daily besides a large output of kero-
sene. In order to meet this demand
the various oil companies in the city
have found it necessary to increase
their storage capacity to accommodate
this business.
When tanks which have been order
ed and are now under construction,
have been filled, the combined supply
will be 49, 900 gallons of gasoline, and
$4,000 gallons Of kerosene, divided
among the following dealers:
Peterson Oil Company:
$4,000 gallons gasoline.
1880 gallons Kerosene.
Miller Oil Company:
34,100 gallons gasoline.
$4,000 gallons kerosene.
Standard Oil Company:
121,000 gallons gasoline.
$4,000 gallons kerosene.
With this large supply, Miller will
be oil headquarters for the surround
ing country

that a considerable group in Califor,

I think that would have been much
better for you, Mr.. o. Possum."
ooh, Mr.. Moon, how could I stay
away when Lady Duck was gone and
l thought she was with the .tKing."
Tears were in O. Possum's eyes
The only thing I can do for you
said Mr.. Moon as he laughed to
think of O.. Postum riding with him.
II, will do anything, Mr.. Moon. But
how car I ride with you?"
"Oh, ] have a swing up here and
I can let 1t down so you can climb in.
But there is one thing hat you must
agree to before l can take you with
me-" -
II will agree to anything. Mr..
Moon. Pray tell me what it is"
you must eve again worry
about Lady Duck nor try to do any
thing to her that will keep her from
going to the Southland"
o Postum hardly knew what to
say about this. but he decided that
anything was better than punishment
from the King. SO he agreed to dc
as Mr.. Moon said, and down from
the sky came the swing from the
Moon.

Fast to the swing,
AS out o'e the world I CO.;
Mr.. Moon with his smile,
Guides all the while.

With the stars l will play.

AS away from the King I CO."

Socialist campaign is being namou-

Socialism. he said, mean public

farmers are opposed to this. the
league leaders must 60 about their
work slowly and in devious ways to.
bring this about. This plan could
be carried out through the adoption
of the single, tax, and, by causing
the and to. bear the full burden Of
taxation. the farmer soon would be
taxed more than he could afford to
pay. Part. Of the scheme is to have
land on which the taxes are delin-
yquent revert to the state instead OF
holding tax sales. This would cause
a greater tax on other and to raise
money enough to run the state, so
that soon it would be, impossible for
many farmers to hold their farms.

QUESTION
CAUSES COMMENT
AMONG H~UNGARIANS

Budapest, Oct. S.-(Mail.)-A pre-
sentation of the Jewish question in
Hungary that has attracted wide re-
publication and comment was made
by Bishop of notwithstanding.
Ottaker Prohazka, in the course of a
debate in the national assembly this
week
The bishop introduced and spoke to
a bill intended to restrict the number
of Jewish students in the university.
the clinics and the colleges of agri-
culture. 1t was meant, he said. to
guarantee a living to the Hungarian
middle classes M at the same time
selection of students. This selection
was to have patriotism for a basis.
The measure was not a plot against
the liberty of education. 4
Since 1857" he continued, "Hun-
garian political economy and Hum
garian trade have experienced great
expansion and for this we have to
thank the Jews. By dint Of their. in
telligence. their diligence and tepac-
ity of life the Jews have pushed back.
as it were. the new Hungarian gener-
alton.
"Anti-Semitism as such does not ex-
list in Hungary. Our anti-Semitism is
such as bids us look upon the Jew as
an essential portion of the nation but
to prevent him gaining a ~preponder-
ance over us. We are not faced by
the problem of anti-Semitism but by
that Of racial self defense. Our Chris
tianity is being made to feel that it is
being pushed back at every step. This
process deserves the name of de-
Contamination. Our attitude Of de-
tense must not be looked upon by the
Jews as an act of hatred. Merely for
the sake of liberalism we must not
suffer that half the lawyers and the
majority Of medical men in the coun-
try be Jews. Not only the middle
classes but also what may be called
the genius Of the race is advancing
toward its determination. Hungarian
literature is saturated with the Jewish
atmosphere. We must defend our
national culture when we see It en-
dangered.
