companies and followed by the

These cuts appear purely arti-
fetal to Wall street for the rea-
son that while consumption was
increased enormously this year,
the Mexican production has con-
tinued to slump and the total
supply Of gasoline available is
relatively lower than last year.
For these reasons, it is said
that the price reductions both in
gasoline and California crude oil
have been made as blow at the
Independents. If the indepen-
dents were out Of the way, it
would be possible for the large
to take advantage OF
decreasing Mexican yields and
increasing consumption in this

Upset in Oil
Prices Traced
To California
Unlimited Yield OF Light Crude
With 30 Per Cent Gasoline
Responsible

California is responsible for the
present upset in oil prices, ano
its influence over the industry
will become greater, says the
Wall Street Journal. 1t is pro-
bable it will be the controlling
factor in oil for several years,
This change is due to the sud-
den discovery of a tremendous
production 0 f light fefinable
crude for the first time in the
history of that state. Previously
CALIFORNIA; production has been
heavy crude, containing little
gasoline, and mainly valuable as
fuel. The new discovery, how
ever, is light refinable crude
yielding 80 per cent gasoline.
1t is the cheapest oil in the
world. 1t can be laid down in
Bayonne for about S1.80 bar
rel. Mid continent crude of aver
age quality cost $2.75 laid down
in Bayonne.
That difference explains the
recent cut in midcontinent crude
oil, and is the reeson for believ-
ing that tr~- III be further
cuts in the lidcontinent
oil.
Present market production in
California is in excess of 100000
barrels day. If pipe line and
storage facilities were available
a million barrels a day Could be
handled. This exceeds the record
of Mexico in her biggest davs
and as a sensation in the oil in
dustry California far surpasses
Mexico.
Next to it's big gasoline con-
tent the remarkable feature of
the new production is that it is
coming from oil sands Of pheno-
menal thickness, which means
that the big flush production will
last a long time and that the wells
may pump twenty years. In the
new fields a sand thickness of
from 1900 to 1900 feet has been
discovered. Such prodigious sands
have never been known before.
The biggest well in the Signal
Hill field, one Of the new areas,
is producing from a depth of |
more than 5000 feet, the deepest |
flowing we'll in the world. 1t

March Output Of Crude
Oils Breaks Records

Crude oil production in March
attained new high record of L,
810,710 barrels daily, according
to the United States Geological
Survey reports the Wall Stree
Journal. Imports gained slight
Fly, averaging 188,387 barrels
daily against $4,000 daily III
February. There was thus s
daily available supply of crude
|oil in March Of 1.999,096 barrels
Domestic consumption also es.
tablishen a new high record OF
1 1867, SIT barrels daily, compared
with 1864, ,678 barrels in Febru-
ary. March exports are estimat.
ed at %, 250 barrels daily, against
23,786 barrels daily in preceding
month. Total consumption was
thus at the rate of 1.890,927 bar
rels, daily.
Production and imports were
108,170 barrels daily in excess of
domestic consumption and ex-
ports, resulting in a net addition
to stocks during March OF $685.
900 barrels. Totals of crude oil
in storage March 81 being 258,-
1884, 900 barrels, compared with
255,0 900 barrels February %, and
252, 2,961,00O barrels January 81.
During first quarter of 1928,
crude oil production was at the
annualIrate of more than 624, ,000,-
900 barrels, compared with 551,-
100000 barrels in 1922, the in
crease being chiefly due to flush
production In California, which
increased its yield during the
first three months this year So
per cent over the same quarter
in 1922. Final figures for imports
are not yet available, but there
has been an appreciable falling
off. Resulting loss of supply at
eastern and Gulf ports has been
in part counterbalanced by ship
ments Of crude oil from California
which increased from 795,OOO
barrels in December to 1884 900
barrels in March. Consumption
indicated by deliveries to con-
during the first quarter
was at the record annual rate OF
665, 100000 barrels. Production
plus imports, however, maintain
ed the lead over consumption plus
that pipeline and
tank-farm stocks increased ] n
the first three months of 1928 by
J, 3,507, 900 barrels.

Americas High school boys who

Jesse Glawson, who is assured of
place as one of the line men.
Merritt is playing this season at
fullback, while Glawson has not
yet been definitely assigned. In
addition to these men there are a
number Of other ''hefties" who are
trying for positions on the team.

TOWNSVILLE, Sept. 4-Great
interest is being taken by the
farmers of the county in the mass
meeting to be held here on We'd
nesday, the 5, and the indications
are that there will be a gathering
Of them from every section of the
county.

ty Live Stock association will hold

announce that several car loads of
hogs have already been secured,

fore the date the sale. The fine
prices obtained by the farmeks

been a great incentive to them to
bring their hogs to the sale this

Following the sale in the morn
ing a program of much interest has
been arranged for the afternoon,
which will be devoted chiefly to
the creamery movement and what
it is will mean to this county to

ITALY HOLD COMMAND
OF ADRIATiC FROM C0REt

4 LONDON, Sept 4+lBS Associ-
ated Press italy IS holding Corfu
which commands the Adria tic, as 4
pledge for Greek renarations and is
waiting gri1nly for Greece to comply
With her ultimatum. Greece, having
appealed to the League Of Nations,
is also waiting, and Italy thus far
has ignored the protest of the Coun-
ell of Ambassadors against her ac-
ton in selling Corfu.
The Greek legation here made
public the text of the Greek reply 70
the ambassadors council, proposing
the appointment by the council OF
a commission consisting of three
members for an inquiry into all the
circumstances of the Janina crime,
and declaring readiness if Greece is
found in any way responsible to
grant all PREPARATIONS decided upon
by such commission. The reply re-
quests the intervention of the coun-
ell with Italy.
Premier Mussolini has instructed
the italian representatives at Gene
va to abstain from other discussion
and the only hopeful aspect isthat
Italy seems disposed to have the
court of international justice pro-
nounce on the Leagues competency
to deal with such an international
dispute.
The British government still is
firmly supporting the view that the
dispute is eminently one for the
League of Nations and regards the
whole question as subjudice, pend
ing the Leagues decision. In the
event of the eague councils alb
staining from intervention, it is
stated that the Scandinavian dele
gates are resolved to withdraw from
the league as did Argentine in 1920.

said in his sermon Sunday night.
We have Jesus own woods for
it. Asked by his disciples: What
shall be the sign of Thy coming
and of the end of the world Jesus
answered. Ye shall hear of wars
and rumors Of wars. for ma
ton shall rise against nation and

there shall be famines and pesti-

UNCLE JOE HAS GONE HOME TO

Uncle Joe Cannon, forty-six years

life. Every day he visits the Second
National Bank, which he practically
owns; every evening he plays "twen-
ty-five cent limit" poker-and wins.
Dull old age you might say. An old
man might be expected to sit up, study
the stars and ask himself, where do
we go from here?" But old age of
itself is dull, with a few brilliant ex-

IMPROVEMENTS AT SUPERIOR
RESTAURANT

The management of this centrally
located dining room and cafe, in the
post Office building, has added another
improvement there in the shape of
heavy brass rods run around the en-
tire plate glass enclosure, below which
green curtains are suspended. These
rods, rings and curtains add much to
the attractiveness of the big room and
are said to have cost more than 5000.
Very few persons have the faintest
idea of what it costs to equip a mod
ern restaurant of this size and would
be astonished, no doubt, to learn that
the fixtures and equipment alone are
said to represent an outlay of nearly
$4,000. AS enlarged this dining room
has now a seating capacity of ITO
people. The mahogany finished tables
with white vitrifed glass tops look
neat and inviting.
