THE First Quarterly Summary of
Refinery Statistics issued by the
- Bureau of Mines 1922 states that
259O more gasoline was purchased by con-
sumers in January, February and March,
1922, than in the corresponding period of
1921. Many wellinformed marketers are
predicting that there will be an insufficient
supply of gasoline this summer in the
Middle West.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has
increased its facilities so largely that it feels
safe in stating that it will be able to render
to the people of the 10 states it serves that
degree of service which the public has
come to expect from this organization.
The manufacturing facilities of the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) have capacity of
more than one billion gallons of gasoline per
year. These facilities are being operated "a
hours every day that patrons may be
certain of securing their requirements of
petroleum products as they need them.
When the flood tide of demand occurs, car
owners will realize that the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) has anticipated their
needs fully and completely.
When motorist fills his tank at convent
ent service station in some remote corner
of the Middle West he may never stop to
consider the vast and complicated machinery
needful to put that gasoline where he wants
it at the moment he needs it most. But he
will appreciate that it is there
He may never know that serving him In
wolves experienced executives of trained
initiative and resourcefulness; enormous ex-
penditures for labor and raw material; great,
modern refinerieS continuously operated;
immense storage facilities magnificent dis
tribution system; and the uniform effort of
an organization of $4,000 men and women.
All this is back of that small quantity of
Red Crown gasoline which every summer
tourist confidently expects to purchase and
surely finds at all points in the territory served
by the Standard Oil Company Qndiana).
This the Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
considers genuine service.

LIVES OF THE HUNTED

The proposal of the state game pro-
tective association that the power to ap-
point the state game warden be trans
terred from the governor to the state
game commission should receive the sup
port of both parties and all the people.
1t will make its strongest appeal to those
who limit their sport with the rod and
gun within seasonal bounds and who
respect the law which is intended to
protect the denizens of the wild
Neither the deer nor the dove has anv
interest in party politics, but they are
too often and perennially the innocent
and helpless victims of system which
does not take their lives sufficiently into
account in the distribution of offices.
In many states vast sums of money
are being expended to replace game
which has been wantonly DESTROYED in
and out of season, for the reason that If
has not been supervised by disinterest-
ed organization until too late to be ef.
tective New Mexico may yet profit bv
their example by adopting the simple
measure of non-political game warden
and doing so, will not only preserve our
fast disappearing game, but will go far
toward humanzing sports and those who
follow it.

observation. The war may seem to have
been won by the sheer strength of youth;
but it is to be remembered that the
guiding minds in that war belonged to
generals and premiers, not one of whom
was under fifty. Francis Bacon has said,
"The errors of young men are the ruin of
business; but the errors of aged men
amount but to this, that more might have
been done, but sooner" Where respon-
sibility and keen judgment are the fore
most factors, those who have lived must
stand at the wheel.
Yet the enthusiasm and fire of youth
are essential to progress. What young
men have started, old men have finished
and standardized. The one is check
and a stimulus to the other No man,
because he is young or because he is old,
needs to regret his condition. 1T is
good to compound employments of
both" said Bacon. The world needs
both and finds each indispensable.
