more than 5000. 10000 barrels II

Right now there are about 10000
600 motor vehicles in our country.
Most of these motors are used every
DAY. Some use a gallon OF gasoline
for every seven or eight miles they
travel while others can travel be-
tween 20 and 80 miles on a gallon.
The number of these vehicles is in
creasing every year, but suppose the
number stayed at 100000 for the
next 20 years. I saw the same ar
ucle that you saw and according to
the Investigation recently completed
by the United States Geographical
Survey. the available supply OF pc
troleum in the United States is o.
100000 600 barrels. As there are
10000. 600 automobiles and we will
say 5000. 200. 900 barrels OF petro-
leum. that means 900 barrels for
every auto. Divide the BOO by 20 and
that gives as barrels to each car for
each year for the next 90 years.

NJ Tchitcherin's last word at the con-

DRIVE THUS FAR
NETS ABOUT 800.
Farm Bureau Membership Campaign
Marked by Unusual Attendance and
Enthusiasm-Ends June 8.

About 300 members already have been
enrolled IN the campaign being conducted
by the special team for the Windham
County Farm Bureau, the four canvass
ers who are at work securing an aver
age of about 81 day
The canVassers have been working this
week in Guilford, Putney, Westminster
and Rockingham. Today they are in
Saxtons River and Westminster West
The canvass IS to continue until June 3
James A. Leach, Bennington county
farmer, captain OF the team and speaker
at the advance meetings, said today that
never in the history of the Farm Bureau
had meetings in any county of the state
been so largely attended and so much
enthusiasm manifest as has been the
case with the meetings in this county.
The Farm Bureau movies, Spring Val
ley, and talk by Mr.. Leach will be given
this afternoon in Windham in Jamaica
tonight, in Londonderry Saturday eye
ming, in the church at West Townshend
Monday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock and in
the town hall at T0wnshend Monday eye
ming al : o'clock.
For several days the people of Town
shend had been in suspense over the de
lay in the issuance by the insurance
companies of permit for the showing
of moving pictures in their town hall
The matter of permit was still in ques-
tion when Mr.. Leach. manager of the
Farm Bureau drive, came to arrange for
the meeting. Mr. Leach got on the trail
of the insurance companies by telegraph
and telephone Wednesday. President
Cornwall of the Vermont State Fedora
tion also took the matter up. As a re-
suit a permit came by first mail. This is
an illustration of how things are gotten
through cooperation.
The movie, Spring Valley, is thor
oughly enjoyed everywhere it is shown.
The love story that carries heart inter
est in the picture IS intensified by the
charming surroundings of the rural
home life.
The ways in which Farm Bureau ac-
tivity enters into the farm management
and community life are striking ana ono
can easily forecast what is going TO hap
nen in agriculture when every farmer
avails himself of the help of co-opera-
tive measures.
Mr.. Leach tells in brief talks between
the reels what has been done recently
by the Farm Bureau in the interest of
agriculture
After seeing and hearing this enter
tainment people have a very good idea
of what the Farm Bureau stands foF.
