MAY Be FORGED TO
CONSERVE "GAS"
REQUIREMENTS OF FARMERS
MUST HAVE PREFERENCE
Price and Production Of Precious
Fluid Have Reached a Maximum
JOyriders May Be Cut Out-Ten
Million Motor Vehicles in United
States By 1922 Is Indicated-Saye
Needless Running of Cars.

In the last few years the demand
for crude petroleum has increased
more than $50 per cent. In a like
period, production has increased only
$50 per cent. A shortage of crude
and high prices necessarily follow.
Pennsylvania crude oday costs S6.l0;
Oklahoma crude $3.50 per barrel and
Louisiana crude 1925 to $3.50 per
barrel at the wells. Conservative fig
ures indicate the registration OF over
ten million motor vehicles m the
United States by January !, 1922.
This will incur an enormously IN
creased consump ion Of gasoline, All
Of these conditions make gasoline
high in cost.
Farmers must have gasoline and
refined oil to plant and harvest their
crops. The requirements Of the
farmers must be given preference if
the demand for food is to be met. The
gasoline you save helps to eliminate a
necessity for higher prices on food
products, which we all must buy.
Gasoline is vital necessity today
in the industry and commerce Of our
country. Without an adequate sup
ply for trucks and business cars, the
growsh Of industry and commerce will
be seriously handicapped-with an
increase Of unemployment in the
great manufacturing centers.
The reasonable use Of motor cars
for purposes Of pleasure and recrea-
ton can not be questioned, but crops
and industries must come frs. II
the crude shortage continues, the use
Of gasoline for pleasure must be re-
duced to the lowest minimum, Dis
pensa with unnecessary trips Save
needless miles. See that your car
bure-or is adjusted 50 that there is
no waste. Do not let your motor run
idle. If all practice strict economy
there should be sufficient gasoline
for every purpose.

that Miss White had urged the governor
OF Tennessee to issue call at once, so
that the women will be permitted to
