rrub'.ms confronting the oil men.
The rpf.nCrs are up against the
,Sal thing. as day by day freight
M are being imposed that vir-
MHv shut them out from their old
,r..t.fa. and, worst of I'll, it app
r.... to be getting no battcr rap
r.r uarketcrs should understand
fHlf this Is a most important meet

Sew York papers are glorying in

that batteries are now available
that win propel motor truck 100
miles at cost OF 81. II is cleo
iriU.rr that Is to be feared, and no
substitute for gasoline.

The marketers must face this

lines are so thiCkly interspersed
throughout the fields that there is
but little chance OF a new pool and
an over production such as might
benefit the independent rCfiner ever

pipelines for gasoline ana fuel oil
