As 10 Crude Oil

~ the Editor Of the Evcrino Public Ledger
Sir--The reason given in the EVENING
PUBLIC LEDGER of March IL by Mr. j.
b. Van Kenan, gasoline salesmanager
for the Atlantic Refining Co., Is anus
ing. considering the fact that the Atlan,
tic Refining Co. and the standard on
Co. are one. and that the Standard on
Co first started In business as a crude
oil producer and now controls possibly
two-thirds of the oil wells and pipe lines
Of this country, and of course quotes
the advance price o. their own crude
oil as an excuse to tdvance the price or
a necessary commodity they call gaso-
line to thirty-one cents per gallon. and
which Is really nothing more than COM
mon benzine, and poor quality at that,
and which sold In 1876 at seven cents
per gallon and poor seller at that
hgure.
The present quotations Of the STANDARD

monopoly they have secured In the OH
business The decrease in crude OF,
cannot be true. The United states and
other countries would not build oil-burn-

AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF AGRICULTURE Is TO

The first American Institute of Ap- piled Agriculture in Europe is to be built and equipped this summer in the department of the Aisne, France, by France.
 This school will be built from block plans resembling those originated by President A. A. Johnson of the New York State Agricultural college at Farmingdale, Long Island It will be more of an agricultural community cen ter than a school. Books will be less popular than live pigs and COWS. Mid night oil will be burned in studenb lamps in far smaller quantities than gas in up to date field tractors
 The school will be CO., educa ttonaI and entire families will attend, although the bulk of the student body will be made up of war orphans. Those children who for three years worked in fields factories and abandoned trenches under the enemy's lash, given insufficient food and deprived of all kinds or edu- cation, comfort and recreation, will have fresh milk from the school dairy and vegetables and cereals from the demonstration gardens and fields; they will be given thorough instruction in the three R's-also accounting, in hy- giene, and other practical subjects, they will have a gymnasium Scout and Camp Fire organizations. and li- DAdilSs eQuIpiftu Hol dibAs With oootAe but with games of all descriptions.
