THE NATIONS GAS SUPPLY

George Otis Smith, Director of the United States Geological Survey is the authority for the statement that there is less than eight years supply con- tained in the oil reserves of the coun- try. According to MT. Smith the total amount represents 6,500,000,000 bar rels. He comments: "The secret of the capacity of Natures storehouse is easier to unlock than the mystery of the progress in mans needs and desir- es. think the oil geologists can es- innate within 50 per cent of the oil fields of the United States, but who could have foretold within 100 per cent of the truth the increase in the con- sumption of gasoline even within the present decade."> The present demand for oil is more than 5,O0O,000 barrels greater per month than it was a year ago, and MT. Smith observes that "the arts of peace are requiring more oil than we have." What are. we go- ing to do about it The problem does not seem to be concerning very many people since the number of automo- bile users is constantly on the in crease, and the automobile manufact- urers are all behind in their orders. At the same time there is steady in crease in the use of oil for heating and power in transportation and in- dustries.

STAND WITH FRANCE

From out all the mass of misun- derstanding which diplomats and roy alists have bred in Europe, the plain man of America who went abroad two years ago for a plain job of fight ing will quickly sift the essential truths and eliminate the confusing falsehoods.
 Intrigues and revolutions, schemes and machinations, plots and counter plots may come and go, but those who served will not be sifted from their fast and firm allegiance to honest first principles, and the honest first principle that we saw with our own eyes was a nation of loyal, brave and true men and women fighting for their homes and liberty against the iron hand of cruel invader.
 No jealousies bred in the confer ences of Downing Street or the Quai d'Orsay can change this fact The ut terances of a score of foreign offices cannot touch the glory of the utter ance of the men who held Verdun- "They Shall Not Pass" No words from tricky tongues of subtle nation alists, grasping imperalists or greedy royalists shall drown the echo of the words of Pershing at the tomb of Lafayette or his later utterance to France-"All that we have is yours."

PAPER STILL SCARS

We received the following encourag- ing letter this week from one of the paper houses from which we buy print and job paper. Yes the printer gets his just the same as the rest of you:
 "'Are conditions getting better?'
 Everyday-yes many times each day, this question is put. That we consider answering, a feature of Ser vice that Serves" prompts us to con vey to you the information that is ours.
 First of all, conditions are not be- coming relieved, nor better. Accept these facts as evidence:
 Orders for newsprint, so it is re- ported, have been placed in New York for spot shipment at IA cents per pound.
 A general opinion prevails in the East that the demands of the Inter national Brotherhood of Paper Makers will be presented about May 1st and in this connection labor troubles are anticipated.
 A rag paper maker cites the fact that the supply of cuttings has been curtailed due to the activity of Du- Pont and Co.,, who are manufacturing a form of celluloid; and the Eastman Kodak Co.,, who are reported to be op- erating five paper machines on photo graphic papers exclusively.
 The large publishers of the country really the factors when consumption is considered-are operating with but sufficient stock to last from publica- tion day to publication day, whereas under normal conditions their reserve in warehouse is from six to eight months supply.
 Practically every mill of consequent ce has its tonnage sold for the balance of the year.
 Envelope makers refuse to quote on any new business and give nothing definite as to price or delivery on or ders representing old business.
 Mill after mill is returning "with thanks" many orders placed by job bers throughout the country.
 Yes-we might go on; but why :! The question has been answered. Maybe in our next letter the outlook will be brighter. We hope so.' =

Nothing that may be said in Euro

Nothing that may be said in Euro pean chancellories can fire nation of freemen as did the words of the Pres ident of this Republic when he said: "To this cause we pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor" The pledge stands. The heart of America beats with the same eternal throb of understanding love for the truest, bravest people on the continent of Europe. We fought with them through fields of blood and death. We stand with them through the ordeals of reconstruction and gaze with them toward finer, cleaner, happier fu- ture day.

She knows Just what she viii do and
where she will do it and what she viii get

A girl who is attracted TO the profession

ir of value 10 the general public which will
not be reached by the paw envelope plan

presented:
