Canada he finds to a certain extent
symptomatic, but he adds:
I'VE need not fear that such an at

lleves that there is sentiment for a
third party. Mr.. Sweet characterized
the Republican platform and candidate
as "a slap in the face" for progress

Sweet regards as words without

"Pcrsonaliy, [ believe that there will

Sweet. "The platform is a beautiful

ELEPHANT BROKE UP SHOW.
Circus Beast Goes Mad-Takes Five
Army Rifles to XIII Him.

Salina. Kan. Sept. 14-Thousands
OF human lives were jeopardized Mon
day afternoon when Snyder the
largest elephant of the SeIls-Floto cir
Gus. went mad, and became unmanage-
able The cause is supposed to have
been the changing Of trainers, his reg
uiar trainer being sick.
The elephant wasfatally shot, but
not until after the regular afternoon
performance was abandoned. A matt
nee was given at 1 O'Clock. The big
beast was first fed marshmallows and
apples mixed with cyanide OF potaS-
SUM, which added to his madness. II
He upset the animal cagek, and one
cage containing four huge lions, was
thrown thirty feet. Fear that the ele-
plant would ultimately free some OF
the wild animals led to the shooting.
Five army rifles were used, and all
five fired at once. It required three
rounds from these high-powered guns
to kill the beast The mana gement
said the elephant was valued at sI0.-
900. He had gone on a rampage once
before at Winnipeg. When he became
wild. hundreds of people who had pur-
chased their tickets were ready to en-
ter the tent.

TN addition to over a million
I farmef-owned automobiles,
Is, 900 farmer-owned trucks,
and approximately loo, 600
farm tractors, there are SO
motorized Express Companies
doing business in the states
served by the Standard Oil
Company (Indiana) and this
number is growing day by day.
Automotive Industries for 1920 de-
clares Trucks are operating on rail-
road schedules, and have proved more
dependable, on time basis, than the
steam roads have ever been. Their
use to replace the freight car for
certain classes of freight has proved a
marked success.
The Smithsonian Institute, United
States National Museum Bulletin 1O2,
says, In respect to prompt delivery of
farm produce, whether to railways or
directly to towns, the motor truck has
an exceptionally useful opportunity.
It is these motor trucks, tractors and
farmer owned automobiles that are
largely increasing gasoline consump-
ton, particularly in the Middle West.
During the first four months of 1920,
the production of gasoline increased
1870, while during the same period,
domestic consumption of gasoline in
creased $3.50. This excess of conSump-
ton over production has been potent
factor IN the advance of gasoline
prices. but the dominant underlying
reason has been the increase IN the
cost of crude oil
The service rendered by the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) lies In manu-
featuring and distributing to the trac-
tor, the truck, and the automobile a
dependable supply of gasoline and lub-
ricating obs, and selling them at fair
price. The latest refinery methods are
producing a continually increasing per-
centage of gasoline from each barrel of
crude oil While large-scale production
and distribution assure maximum
economy In this industry, the savings
effected by the Standard Oil Company
(ndiana) are utilized to hold down
gasoline prices despite the rising tide
of demand for petroleum products.
