April, 1921 The figures for domes-
tic consumption plus exports and
shipments for April Of this year show
an increase Of 1851 per cent over

gallons.
A daily average Of 1,357,00O bar
rels of oil was run through the stills
Of the 303 refineries reported to the
Bureau of Mines as operating during
the month Of April These figures
show a decrease of $4,000 barrels in
the daily average run. and also 3
less operative plants than the re-
port of the previous month The April
reports show operative plants to be
running Y per cent Of their daily IN
dlcated capacity.
The seasonal decline in the gasoline

he has received letters from every

while the State Journal did not

new feature brought in SubScrlp-

purpose as being to demonstrate
that the modern newspaper is wiki

PRESSING STONE WITH BONE

Most of the time during the
Stone Age people chipped stones by
pounding them with other stones
This way of making tools is shown
in the upper part Of the lllustra-
ton. Among the tools made in such
a manner were stone knives, axes,
borers. scrapers, and hammers.
Hundreds of thousands of these
have been found beneath cave
floors in Europe, Asia and North
ern Africa.
As thousands upon thousands Of
years passed, men slowly learned to
chip their tools better and better.
Some splendid results were obtained
in those olden times. Men pounded
away on stones-uSually flint
and lol the stones were made into
good tools and good weapons.
Then cane time when people IN
Europe did not chip stones so well.
Perhaps the race was becoming
rather worn out"
From time to time, howevot3
tribes from northern Africa and
Asia made their way to Europe and
refreshed the human stock. Among
these tribes were people who learn
ed a better way to chip stone.
Notice the lower part of the il
lustration. 1t shows how men who
lived in the latter part of the
Stone Age made their tools. A

AN of which brings to mind
the caption Of tins editorial. The
Gazette feels that its columns
should be made forum for the
public. In no more efficient way
can a consensus OF opinion of the

of great moral or social or civic
importance are constantly before
the community to be considered.
1t is the variance of opinion, the

GROWING WHEAT IN
The FROZEN NORTH

The Alaska Experiment Stations of
the United States department of agri-
culture have demonstrated that it is
possible to raise locally a large part
Of the wheat needed by those who have
settled in the Territory. A recent
report from the agronomist In charge
of the five Alaska stations states that
in the summer of 1921 a crop of $500
bushels OF spring wheat was produced
in the vicinity OF the Fairbanks sta
ton. Most of this wheat is being
ground into flour in a small mill re-
Gently Installed at Fairbanks. The
quantity available will supply the
1880 people living at or near Fair
banks. This wheat is the product of
a selection made from a small sample
of grain received from Siberia in 1914.
The grain is hard and the flour of
excellent quality. b
About 1000 bushels Of wheat were
produced in the Matanuska valley In
1921. One field of wheat at the Ma
tanuska station yielded 40 bushels
per acre. At the Rampant station the
varieties of wheat developed from 81
berian stock and most Of the barley
hybrids and oat selections ripened
while their parent plants did not fun,

UNFFED WE STAND.

There is an important truth in the
assertion made by Chairman John T..
Adams, of the Republican national
committee In a rec dress when
he said: "Fewer gre-te misfortunesR
could befall our coun ~ 1 these try
ing times than to haze l. civic en-
ergies frittered away in contests
among groups, factions, oceupational
interests or 4ocial DIVISIONS
That is particularly true Of the
party in power, for upon that party
rests the responsibility for accom-
pFishment. There is only a limited
amount of energy to be expended in
public affairs. IF the Republicans
should expend their energy in con-
tests among themselves, they would
have little chance Of attaining any
considerable results when they meet
the solid opposition of the Democrats.
Differences within the party should
be discussed and settled in a spirit Of
friendly desire TO give and take
to let the majority rule, and when a
policy has been adopted, the whole
party should be united in its sup
port.

AGRICULTURAL BLOC e, w
FOR TRUTH IN FABRICS

United States Senator Capper, of
Kansas, n of the leaders of the Ag-
ricultural Bloc, and a sponsor of the
Truth in fabric" bill, in a commune
cation to Alexander Walker, presi-
dent of the national sheep and wool
bureau of America, predicts progress
in a few weeks toward the enactment
of the Truth in Fabric" bill, and ex-
presses the belief that the agricul-
tural group in congress viii stay with
the measure until it is finally enacted
into law.
Mr.. Walker states that the national
sheep and wool bureau has received
communications from hundreds OF
civic and business organizations from
all over the country, urging the en-,
actment of the Capper-French "TrutE
| in Fabric" bill.
