Washington, d. c., June 20.-On the
basis of the average daily consumption
for the year 1921, figured at the recent
price of % cents per gallon, the an
nual gasoline bill Of the people of the
United States amounts to almost 3d.
500, 100000. An advance of one cent il
the price adds $123, 726.3S to the daily
gasoline bill of the nation. A few
months ago the price of gasoline was
as low as p cents. The increase OF
seven cents has meant a daily toll of
$S66,OS4.66 levied on the consumers,
which amounts to the tidy sum of
$316, 1oO,0OO.90 in a year.
During the first three months of
the present year the total average daily
consumption of gasoline, including ex-
port, was 1883, 1873 gallons, while the
daily production averaged 14,612,4S7
gallons. On March l the reserve stock
on hand amounted to approximately
S54.OOO,OOO gallons. During the year
1871 the average consumption was 49,
SS4,313 gallons per day. while produc-
ton averaged 14,119.313.
Just why there should have been this
advance in the price of gasoline when
there was an abundant supply on hand
and production was running steadily
ahead Of consumption may be explained
in the course of the investigation by
the senate committee on manufactures.
1t may develop that there was good and
sufficient reason for the advance,
which hits almost every man, woman
and child in the United States, directly
Or indirectly.
On the other hand. the inquiry may
prove that there is ample ground for
the suspicion in the minds of some
members of congress that the price has
been moved upward because the pro-
ducers Of gasoline saw their oppor-
tunity to profiteer and have been tax
ing full advantage of it.
At any rate, in view Of the general
decline in wages in all industries and
in all localities, it is not expected that
the substantial addition to the nations
daily and annual gasoline bill will be
attributed to increased labor costs. La
Dor, in this instance, may escape the
indictment that has been brought
against it repeatedly in connection with
the problem of high prices since the
early days of the European war.
In the Good Old Days
In the good old days gasoline sold
at a third the present price and it is
no tax at all upon the memory to re-
call when the price was from II to 16
cents per gallon. In fact, it was only
seven or eight years ago that such
prices obtained. Between July. 1914,
and July. 1915, however. the price ad-
vanced 20 per cent. This sharp ad-
rance was attributed by authorities to
increased demand. and was not ascribed
to increased production costs. On the
contrary, the greater demand was said
to have stimulated improvements in
production methods such that it might
have been assumed that production
costs would be reduced

PAYS HALF
Of HOPPER POISON
COST IN JUDITH
County Board Takes Action
to Rid Fields of
Pests.
Snac;aI tn The Tribune.

GDpCldl ~ ht
Moccasin, June 22.-At a meeting of
the county commissioners Tuesday it
was decided to assist in the combating
of the g%rasshopper pest which is be-
coming quite alarming in many, though
scattered, sections of Judith Basin
county The 'hoppers" are still very
small. but from the number and rapid
growth of the pest great damage can
vet be done to growing fields of spring
grain. AS a result Of the meeting on
Tuesday, supplies and ingredients for
the mixing Of poison have been ordered
and the mixing is to be done at both
Stanford and Hobson.
1t is expected that the poison will
he ready for distribution from both
points by Saturday. As there are a
number of threatened fields in and
around the Moccasin vicinity, John Lii
lard. agriculturist for the Moccasin
school district. will have charge of the
distribution and placing of the poison
for the east end of the county.
Last year, large quantities of the
poison was mixed and sent out to vari-
Gus farms and as it was furnished free
there were instances where only a part
of the poison furnished was used and
in some cases the dope was used
W6SVeIuIly dDh NuCIc tnNAC was nv
or no need. This year the commission
ers have decided to place the poison
after investigating the hopper-ridden
sections and under the direction of
someone who understands how to place
the dope economically and yet effec-
lively.
There are no funds in the treasury
for this work, but in view Of the pos
sibility of great damage to the present
splendid crops of spring wheat. one
half of the expense of preparing the
poison will be met By the county and
the farmers one-balf. which will mean
a cost of one and o%ne-quarter cents
a pound to the user. In coping with
the g~rasshopper pest, Mr.. Lillard be-
lieyes that after a careful and sys-
tematic survey Of the threatened stu
alton the work can be carried out
successfully.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.

" in June one can say that the
grain crop outlook is as hopeful as
it eve was at this time of year.
The handicap of a late spring has
been wiped out by the splendid
growing weather of the last month
and grain crops are as we'll on their
way to maturity as they would have
been with an early spring and less
favorable growing conditions. With
even average good luck for the
next few weeks Montana will reap
a bumper crop of grain this year.
Hot winds in the next few weeks
are the worst danger yet to en-
counter. The ground is yet pretty
moist and we a reasonably ex-
pect more rain in the next week
and early in July.
Those in a position to know the
facts estimate the grain acreage
planted this year much higher than
most people supposed. The linger-
ing spring helped out planting a
good deal, and lack of money to
hire help or to purchase seed play
ed a lesser figure in reducing grain
acreage than it was generally sup
posed would be the case.
A bumpr crop this year will bring
more grain into the market this
year in Montana than this state has
ever produced before. we are in
formed by we'll posted men. Prices
are fairly good, though not as good
as they were a few weeks ago. We
are told that the corn crop this
year will be several times as large
as last year if the acre produces
the anne A great deal more corn
has been planted than is usual. 1t
took some time to convince the
farmer that Montana was a corn
growing state, but as fair corn
crops continued to be grown in dry
years when the small grains were
a failure through drouth, more and
more corn was planted in this
state. 1t is not injured by weather
that burns up wheat and other small
grains.
A bumper crop this year will bring
will pull many Montana dry land
farmers out of the hole. 1t will
enable him to pay old debts, and
money will once more flow into
the country banks and from these
banks into the city banks. 1t will
revive all business as a gentle rain
revives the grain. There is many
a slip betwixt the cup and the lip
in agriculture, particularly grain
growing, and 50 we would be pre-
mature in celebrating a bounte-
GUS harvest not yet in the shocks,
but we certaily feel that the out
look is good, specially good at this
season of the year, and we are
very sanguine that the prospect
will continue good between this
date and harvest. A realization of
that prediction will be a big thing
for all business in Montana

In many cases the second culling
is as important as the first. Ac-
cording to L. L. Jones, in charge of

not later than October, it is a good

one may know how many to plan

are counted figure definitely the

During the first years Of my mill
tary service at Potsdam l had felt
deeply the inadequacy Of the sermons,
which often dealt only with dry dog
matte matter and paid too little atten-
ton to the person of Christ. In Bonn
i became acquainted with DR. bryan

lasting throughout my life. His ser
mons were free from dogma, the per-
son of Christ was their pivotal point,
and practical Christianity" W a S

Later l brought him to Berlin and
soon had him appointed to post at

thrashed out thoroughly the tasks and
the future of the Protestant Church.

powerful, clear and of truly evangeli-
cal strength-made of him a pillar

faithful co-worker with the Emperor,
to whom he was closely bound, in the
interests of the Church and its de-
velopment.
