the Southern Improvement and Ferry
Company has not given a temporary
shelter for its passengers since they
lost the other ferry house, about a
month ago. A complaint was also
made against the schedule now being
maintained, and other violations of
the company's franchise.

CINCE the discovery of petro-
~ leum, the per capita produc-
ton ofwheat in the United States
has more than doubled, and this
in the face of a constantly de-
creasing percentage in our farm
population. The products of
petroleum have been largely
responsible for the increase.
In 1850, 90 percent of our people
lived on farms; in 1919 only 80
percent of the population was
listed as rural.
In 1850 the per capita production
of wheat was a. bushels, while
in 1919 it was almost 9 bushels.
On the farms of the Middle West
the bread-basket of the nation
the gas engine is best known.
And here this engine is blowing,
seeding, and harvesting by the
square mile instead of by the
acre, and it is doing the work
better, quicker, and cheaper than
it could be done by horsepower.
These engines must have gasoline, and
thew must have oil. both products of
petroleum.
That is why the u. S. Government
declares that petroleum is a basic neces-
sity, as much SO as wool or wheat.
The manufacture and distribution of
gasoline, lubricating oils, and other
petroleum products, have been developed
to a high degree of efficiency by the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana).
This organization, trained by years of
experience to anticipate unheralded
conditions, has been able to foresee and
prepare to meet problems, which, I'M
solved, might have proved disastrous.
Even transportation and other troubles
in allied industries have failed to make
an appreciate interruption in the steady
flow of products from the rehneries of
the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)
to the consumers of the Middle West.
