T>1c4 d well anywhere in the world from which } oil flows in promising quantities and at once there will be two men bidding for it. \ The chances are that of the men will be an American and the other Brton. And the chances ere even or more than even that the American will represent Standard Oil and the Brton the Royal Ditch.Shell.
 For oil today not only spells wealth. It also means power.
 That's why national governments get bsaand their citizens and use all their diplomacy to fly their own flag over the oil wells of the world
 IN THE OLD DAYS
 Men used to fight for land Then they fought for trade. Then they fought for coal and iron Now they are ready to fghs for oil.
 In times of peace 1t promises to he the most Important of all fuels. With it men will rim the big ships that carry the trade. On land it is the fuel of the automobile. In the air it is the fuel of the airplano In times of war it is all Important
 The fastest warships now oil as fuel Armies will be fed and supplied and even carried by motor lorries-oil-driyeu, The air will be domi- mated by airplanes-oildriYen
 Sluch of the presentday keen striving in fnan, e,al exploration, research, political and diplomatic circles to get control of every newly developed oi, field probably would not have taken place but for events that happeStl in l$39 and lEa3,
 WHlT J. D. SAW
 Eightyfye ysars ago in an American Baptist rome in Rchaord, New York, there was born John D. Rockefeller, who revolutionzed the oil Industry by seeing the possibilities of the pipe line. The pipe line moro than anything else is the basis of the Standard Oil power and fortune, Seventyone years ago in an English Jewish home in the east side of London there was born Marcus Samuel, who also levoutonized the oil industry years later by pioneering in the trans port of petroleum in bulk and by fighting in sea sen and out for the superior claims of oil as a fuel when used in internal combustion engines This laid the fortunes of inc Shell Trading and Transport Company, which later was to be merged with q Dutch concern and is now known the world over as the Royal DutchShell
 grateful country made Samuel baronet ant later lord
 Whether future generations will have caus' 10 be grateful to Rockefeller and Samuel now Baron Bearsted, depends upon whether Ameros and Great Britain succeed in composing their oi differences without friction.
 For it is significant thing-oil is defined as ; lubricant. but in world politics it has been mainly an irritant.

 After her defeat in the war with Japan, Russia ceded the southern half of the island to the con' queror. As an aftermath to difficulties between the Soviets and Japan, the latter some time ago took possession of the northern half of the island also.
 The soyiets have never ceased to demand that the Japs gct out and the Japs are now negotiating about it.

AMERICAS SHARE

At first glance the United States ought not to have to worry about the oil problem, Last year the United States produced II per cent of the worlds oil supply, Mexico came second with i3 per cent and Russia third with 3.4 per cent,
 Taking what we produced, plus what we control outside our country. Americas share was about

It had also bought other interests at Grosny and In the Jral Mouaains Standard Oil was interested because it had bought the Nobel hold ings in Baku. But the Soyiets cynically ignored all these claims
 They had plan of their own whereby there was to be one administration of all the rich oil fields in Russia Twenty-Five per cent was to be. long to the sovets, 9 per cent to the former owners and 50 per cent was to be bought prin' cipallv by American and British interests. But Standard Oil and Royal Dutch refused to work in cahoots.

The soviets are still dangling Bakl and Batum before the eyes of the American and British oil kings.

 But the Turks spilled the beans hy at once demanding the return of the provinces of Mosul. Sulamanieh and Kirkuk, ostenslbly because of ethnic, historical and strategic reasons. But the real reason was that Mosul, especially, is one of the richest remaining oil regions of the world.

XV7ITH 1o,o00o0o Fords and w goodness knows how many
 other kinds of autos eating their three square meals of gaso. line, 1t Is small wonder that nations and captains of industry fight for possession of the worlds oil supply. A total of 5,O93,O56,7o0 gallons of gasoline were produced in the United States alone in 1921. This rate has been increased. This product was valued at sS40,672,300.
 But autos are not the only vehicles requiring gasoline as fuel. Tractors, motor boats, motorcycles and air. planes take their share.
 THERE was more gasoline com \ sumed in July, 1924, in the bIllLtu CLdLSS tIAhfI Ill elS uLuSl pil7 month in the nations history. The domestic demand for this fuel in July amounted to 794, 4,o30,S52 gallons, rep, resenting an increase of 107,ooo,0o0 gallons over the consumption figures for June, in which month high rec ord mark had been set.
 Each day during July 25,s13,sss gallons were used.
 But while the consumption of gaso. line for July amounted to 794030,S52 gallons, the production amounted only to 741,974,s13 gallons.
 It was necessary, therefore, to draw on the reserve supply. which on August 1 was 1,46655S,939 gal, Ions, This is q decrease from July of 32,2aa2SO gallons, but an in- crease over August of the previous year of 3Q1 Ooo.o gallons.
 TO go deeper into the gasoline \ situation. which affects every auto owner, let it be known thet st the July rate of consumption the ne tion's gasoline stocks represent but 57 days supply.
 During the month of July the Bu- reau of Mines received reports from 254 operating companies with an az gregate daily crude oil capacity of 2,225,472 barrels.
 The July figures are mentioned, not because they gre the latest avail able figures. but because they rep. resent consumption and production figures for the typical summer month, when more gasoline is used than at any other time.
 The condition will not improv much As the years go on mor gasoline will be used, unless Q sur stitute is found.
 Finding a substitute for gasolir' would do two things overnight, l. would make 6 billionsire out of the inventor or discoverer" and it would revolutionize the motor vehicle world. Such 2 substitute probably would be cheaper than gas. That would cause more people to buy autos. Congestion would increase in big cities, and such municipalities would practically have to be remade to accommodate the tremendous traf- fc.
 R1t that time hasn't come--yet.

Every Little Twinkle Has A Meaning

ncw is II that telephone ope ato.s
know at once If you are Gaining from
a public pay station or from an indi-
vldual line or party line?
In telephone exchange every little
twinkle has a meaning all its own,
and the type of service is designated
to the operator by a symbol on the
lamp cap that covers the line lamp
which lights when the call is made.
Generally speaking. the plain white
lamp cap is used for the type of serv'
ice which is in a majority and. for
that reason, the signals differ in diff
ferent sections OF the country. In
most places a green lamp indicates
that the party is calling up from a
pay station. A white lamp cap might
mean an individual line and a white
lamp cap with a black cross might
signify party line service.
On the keyboards and cord shelves
OF the switchboard the red. white
and green lamps correspond to the
color of the cords. These lamps have
nothing to do with the class OF serv'
ice, but are used to assist the OPP
orator in associating the cord signals
with the proper pair of cords.

"IS JAIL A RESI-

COMMISSIONERS

Should a county Jail be considered
a residence or an office is a question
which is perplexing the Nebraska
Utilities Commission.
Certainly the sheriff would consider
the Jail a place OF business. for 1t
serves as his headquarters during the
time he is holding his Office. On the
other hand, do the prisoners regard
their cells as homes? The frequency
with which some prisoners get back
In Jail after once they get out might
seem to indicate that they hunger for
