At the meeting of the National
Dairy Council at Chicago on Dec. A,
it was shown that milk consumption
in the United States has increased
during the past three years from 43
to SO gallons per person, butter con-
sumption from 14.7 to II lbs. per
person, ice cream consumption from
2.46 to 2.68 gal, and cheese con
sumption from 3.51 to 3.91 per per-
sen. We some times wonder where
the oceans" Of milk produced go to.
The following gives you an idea:
$3.50 is used as fluid milk; 36.4R
as butter; Az goes to calves; 3.79d
is made into cheese; 1880 is used
as ice cream; $500 is condensed and
evaporated milk; go of the milk is
wasted; 098ee is used in milk choco-
lates; .044@e as powdered milk; .0299s
used in matted miIks; 002R in
powdered cream.
The outlook for dairymen in 1925
is very hopeful. The high price of
feed and lew price of milk, both,
have had the effect Of cutting down
on winter production. The steady
employment of labor at good wages
has helped to assist and even in
crease the consumption of butter.
The cold storage stocks have begun
to be reduced. In October, it was
reduced Is million pounds.

of cheese on hand are considerable

High School Notes
written For Last Week.

tWflJLen or Last w eek
School has begun again and the
students and teachers are all back
on the job. Our first program after
vacation is as follows: A piano
duet by Mildred Olsen and Alice
Larson, and some New Years reso-
lutions read by Charles Gallup. The
committee for our next program is
Stanley Price, Viola Swenson and
Maurice Taylor
Tuesday afternoon DR.. Doyle gave
a talk to the student body. The sub
ject of his talk was Success and
Failure He has talked with many
Of our most successful men and with
some of the worst failures, so he was
able to give us some real facts that
go toward being a success in life.
Everyone knows that the high
school has developed a number Of
geniuses in basketball, football and
public speaking, but until recently
no one dreamed that a number Of
poets lived in our midst. The Senior
English class has recently developed
into vantable Greenwich Village
and everyone has turned poet. The
choicest of these literary gems are
being reserved for the high school
annual that is to be published in the
spring, but the editor of this column
has received the rights to a number
of them. This weeks poems are writ
ten by Ethelyn Brown and Bernice
Evenson.
Is this better world
Because I'm passing through?
Is this world brighter world
Because of me or you?
Have we gathered piercing thorns
By heat of blazing sun?
When our days toll is done?
A smile as one divine?
Have we greeted strangers here
Or sent them just a line;
Have we found the better part
That life through toll doth give?
Have We given the weaker ones
A part that they might live?
Have we cheered our neighbors here
With just praising word?
Stirring up his courage here
To battle sword to sword?
Then when death doth beckon me
Some youth viii fill my place
And find this world a better world
Because I've won the race.
Shadow Lawn
Shadows are creeping, creeping
Over shadow lawn;
The moon comes climbing, climbing
Up in the starry sky;
A heecy cloud comes sailing
Across the harvest moon,
And shadow lawns in darkness
Until the cloud goes by.
And all my cares are lifted,
When on this scene | gaze.
My troubles are forgotten
And peace doth fill my soul.

"A &c gasoline tax will, accord
ing to these assumptions, mean a
toll rate of less than lac a mile.
or a sc tax will result in a toll
rate of slightly more than 1-3c per
vehicle mile 1t is interesting to
compare these gasoline tax rates
reduced to a toll basis with some
of the toll charges which motorists
formerly had to pay on toll roads
and turnpikes. On six different
turnpikes in Virginia and Maryland
only few years ago tolls amount
ing to $5.05 were charged for a
total distance of 1875 miles. equiv
alent to 2.7c per mile. If state
attempted to charge this same rate
for the use of the public highways
by automobiles, it would have to
establish a gasoline tax of 36c a
gallon, assuming the same mileage
and gasoline consumption as in the
foregoing analysis"
The Winslow mail., 1925-08-28

9. While this report is confined
to the petroleum supply. and de-
mand within continental United
States, the Importance of imports
can not be ignored. Countries to
the south are known to have large
petroleum resources, for the out
put of which the United States is a
natural market and the supply
therefrom must inevitably have it's
influence on the consumption of
American reserves.
10. The availability of future pc
troleum supplies from the vast area
of land mentioned above depends
upon adequate incentives to the
exploration which in the past has
given the nation a sufficient supply
of petroleum, in peace and war,
throughout the history of the Oil
industry, from its inception in 1853.
There must be:
(a) Security of ownership of oil
lands and OF. the right to lease
(b) Conditions of exploration
and development by owners or les
sees permitting exercise of initia-
tive, liberty of action, the play of
competition and the free operation
of the law of supply and demand.
(c) Prices that will provide a re-
turn to producers, refiners and
distributors commensurate to the
risks involved and the capital in
vested
II. The supply of petroleum will
be made to go much further through
more efficient utilization. Automo-
tive experts state that the mileage
of the motor car per gallon of gaso-
line may be doubled through struc-
tural mechanical changes, when
price justifies such changes I'M
proved mechanics will also result
in smaller consumption of lubri-
cants
L. Through improved methods,
principally the process known as
cracking" the refining branch of
the industry has already increased
the yield of gasoline, now the
major product of petroleum.
Through further improvements and
extensions the supply of gasoline
will be augmented still further by
the cracking" of fuel oil. In con-
sequence the supply of fuel oil will
be correspondingly diminished,
thus eventually removing fuel oil
from competition with coal.
49, Waste in the production,
transportation, refining and distri-
button of petroleum and its prod
ucts is negligible.

District of Columbia collected a
tax on gasoline last year. yet the
sum of $40, 9,734.490 was raised AS
eight more states are using this
plan this year, many with higher
rates, and as the consumption of
gasoline is showing an enormous
increase it is plain that a consid-
cradle sum will be collected during
1925 for highway purposes.
Sunset, in its July issue, ex-
planned that the gas tax had made
toll roads of the highways, the tax
not being an impost on a commod-
ity, but levy for the privilege of
travelling by motor car. On this
basis Henry r. Trumbower. econ
Omist of the United States bureau
of public roads, has worked out a
schedule for comparison with for
mer toll rates. In the July num-
ber OF American Review of Re-
views" he says:
If we assume 500 miles as the
average annual motor vehicle mile
age and 440 gallons as the average
gasoline consumption per vehicle
the following toll rates per mile
result:

fall than last fall
The report says:
The movement from the south
west is estimated at 1,847.0O0 head
compared to 2,117, 900 in 1924 and
2.041.O00 in 1928. Because of dry
weather the movement from the
southwest from January to July
has been very heavy, with a con-
siderable increase from Texas.
Oklahoma marketed $4,000 during
this time. compared with 226.O 900 in
the same period in 1924. In New
Mexico a record number, 254,000
head, were moved in the first
seven months, compared with 1914
900 in the same period last year
and a six-year average of 166, 600.
Feed conditions over the range
country are generally very good ex-
cept in the southwest.
"a large part of the western cat
tie moves through the markets to
feeders in the corn belt and the
demand for stocker and feeder cat
tie will be an important factor in
the marketing of western cattle
The August forecast of the corn
crop indicated about 100000
bushels more than last year and
the supply of hogs in the belt is
the smallest in several years, so
the demand for corn for hogs will
be CORRESPONDENCE light.
Early indications are that the
feeder cattle demand will be strong
July prices on feeders and
stocker steers from Chicago were
higher than during July, 1924. Re-
cent sales of heavy, we'll finished

Gas Tax Makes Roads
Into Toll Highways

When the state of Oregon origi-
mated the gasoline tax plan in 1919
it was considered quite novelty.
Today it is effective in forty-four
states and the District of Columbia.
Oregon started with a collection of
1c a gallon South Carolina has
raised the rate to sc a gallon. Three
states - Arkansas, Nevada and
North Carolina-have rate of &c.
Utah has gone to 1-2c and thir-
teen states now collect a tax of &c
a gallon.
The states which have not adopt
ed this plan for highway building
and maintenance are New York,
Massachusetts, New Jersey and
Illinois.
