Don't let Sir Richards predictions
hurry you into buying poor oil stock
in any case. The work of Harvesting
the tides, already begun in England
and in Maine, and later direct use
of the power of the sun will make
power cheaper than it ever was.
Some Edison of the future will in
vent an electric battery, light in its
weight, carrying power sufficient to
drives an automobile or an airplane
across the Continent.
Such discovery, as made now,
would make oil from the ground,
an important in power production as
whale oil now is in the production
of light.

Cotton growers are discouraged
and their complaints are just, against
a government helping with its re-
ports to put down cotton prices.
Governmental crop reports announ-
cling gigantic production do MORE
than give information to buyers.
The Government announces that so
many million bales more than usual
will be offered for sale. That is equi-
valent to saying Don't be in any
hurry to buy You will get it cheaper
later on" The Government does not
print such reports concerning the
steel business, oil business, or other
business. Why is it necessary to broad
cast to the world at public expense
reports of which the result is to
injure the American cotton growers?
Sir Richard Redmayne, who un-
derstands oil, says the worlds supply
will be exhausted in one hundred
years, and the supply of the United
States in twenty five years. That
is largely guesswork, Of course. No
body knows how much oil is hidden
underground in the lands along the
Pacific, up in the Arctic, in Mexico
and elsewhere.
