La Toilette Clears the Air

CENATOR La TOILETTE has cleared the political air
- by his letter about the ST. Paul convention He says:
"a The communist party believes in revolutionary
action which is force instead of action thru the ballot
box
t2) Therefore real progressive have
cause with communists.
(3) Communists control the treasury and the prelim-
mary credentials of the soaed third party convention
at St Paul.
l Therefore real progressives should stay away from
that convention.
(5) Both old parties have been controlled by campaign
contributors and sinister influences shown by scandals
in administration and legislaonoi department of JUS
tice shipping board veterans bureau and and
(6) Both old parties have chance to purge themselves
at their national conventions by smashing machines and
repudiatng the control of invisible government
CD Unless the old parties do this the voters should be
given a opportunity to repudate them.
1t is plain that La Toilette expects this opportunity to
be offered by the political conference at Cleveland July
4, writing progressive platform and naming indie

Her only weapon was her machete.
Today she carries rifle and pistol in addition captured

In one of the futile attacks against Cepe OF the

into the trenches of the defenders and carried off one

PLEASANTvlLLE BOOST CAR.
Memphis, Tennessee,
Aug 9th. 1924


Editors Pleasantville Press
Arrived here tonight-a great sight,
the great Mississippi River, with its
packet boats, stern wheelers, going up
and down. All day and night they are
on the go. | Travelled part of the way
on the levee, a big e~mbankment on
each side of the Missippi to keep the
great body of water from overlooking
the low lands, where large crops of
cotton and rice are raised. | saw
boats from st. Paul, Cincinnati, and
all points ON this great river. Over
100 excursion boats passed through
Memphis last Sunday. | was invited
by the captain of the st. Louis and
New Orleans line to travel on his boat
to any place on the river, load the
automobile on the boat, and all with
his compliments. | had dinner on the
boat with the captain today. He has
travelled ON the Mississippi River as
captain for over 40 years. He started
as a cabin boy.
At Loew's Theatre | gave a talk on
my trip and the a was parked in the
lobby, and the street was crowded, all
reading the Pleasantville Boost Signs
on the car.
The Southern States all seem to be
in a prosperous condition. Prospects
are great for good cotton. corn and
rice crops, and everybody seems hap
DIV and contented. | will remain here
a few days, as it is terribly hot and
makes travelling very uncomfortable,
especially in the inland towns and
cities. | will go from here to Flor
ence, Alabama, and look over the
Muscle Shoals territory.
The Chamber of Commerce in Mem
phis is a fine body OF men who take
great interest in civic affairs. City
Council are with them and request
them to submit any proposition that
will benefit the city in general. Both
bodies work in harmony, and that is
why Memphis is prosperous. Every
body boosts for the city, and Memphis
is getting bigger and greater and is
one of the best cities | have visited
on my trip. They give the visitor a
pleasing welcome, which makes one
like the place.
Well, | have another big jump to-
morrow and will get a good nights
rest for a daylight start. Will try and
write more in my next letter, as | ex-
pect to see great doings in the Muscle
Shoals district, and then on to Bir-
Alabama. | will also visit
Alabama, and then on to
Atlanta, Georgia.

Gas Output Doubled
In Past Ten Years
Under New Process Four Gallons
of Crude Oil Yield One Gallon
Gasoline.

Every time you put ten gallons of
gasoline in your tank someone has to
get one barrel-40 gallons-of crude
oil up out of the earth. That is the
average yield of gasoline to-day per
barrel of crude if all the latest pro-
cesses are used in refining. 1t is not
so long ago that only half that amount
of "gas" could be got from oil. For
tunately in those days there were only
a million or two of automobiles in the
country, so there was enough fuel to
go around. But as car registration
grew by leaps and bounds it became
evident that something had to be
done, and done quickly. to increase
the supply.
Two ways lay open. To find more
crude oil and to get more gasoline out
of every barrel of crude. Both meth
DDS were used and now the production
of gasoline is six times what it was
ten years ago. Half of this increase
is due to the invention of cracking"
processes which have doubled the
yield of gas per barrel. If you COM
pare a barrel of crude oil with a bar
rel full of gravel, then oil refining APP
pears very similar to sitting the grav-
ell through a series of fine and coarse
screens. The sand that IN through
the finest screens corresponds to the
gasoline which ev~aporates first when
the crude oil is heated in a still. Next
comes kerosene, corresponding to
somewhat coarser sand; then fuel oil,
followed by various lubricating oils
which correspond to fair sized pebbles.
If you have to have some more fine
sand and you have sifted out all there
is in the barrel, what can you do?
Obviously you a take some of the
coarser sand and have it crushed. 1t
will cost a little more, but at any rate
1t gives you the fine sand you need.
That is just what The oil industry did
to give the motorist his fuel. They
cracked" some of the heavier distil-
lates that were not SO much in de-
mand and broke them up into fine gas
oline. Science thus came to the aid
of the oil driller and helped to feed
the $4,000, 900 lars that are always
thirsting for gasoline.
