Use 7 Bbls. of Crude
Per Capita in U. S.

Chicago Seven barrels of crude
oil per person willie be used by the
people of the United States this year,
according to bulletin of the Ameri-
can Research Foundation.
Ninety gallons of gasoline for
motor fuel will be required for ev-
cry man, woman and child in this
country" the bulletin stated. For
every person in the United States the
wells and refineries will be required
to produce in addition more than a
barrel of lubricating oil, barrel of
kerosene and the balance in fuel oil,
chemicals and medicinal products
The incessant increase of demand for
gasoline is likely to force the price
up slightly this summer. fabrication
IS more vital than motor fuel. Lack
of fabrication would put an instant
stop to every form Of manufacturing
and transportation.
I'm 1870 consumption of crude
oil in America was IA barrels per
person. In 1900, before the arrival
of the motor car, oil consumption in
the United States was "a barrels per
capita. In 1920 it was 5.O2 barrels,
in 1928 it was 5.S6 barrels, and in
1924 the per capita consumption Of
petroleum, crude and refined, in the
United States was approximately GA
barrels per person. This year the
wells will be called on to produce
approximately 77O,OOO,OOO barrels
of oil, an amount equal to Z barrels
for each individual in the country"

Refining Capacity of
U. S. 1854, ,842 Barrels

The Indicated capacity of the pre-
troleum refining plants of the United
States has reached a total of 1854,
S42 barrels daily, states the Depart
ment of the Interior, in comment
ing on a statistical report prepared
by the Bureau of Mines. The figure
represents an increase in daily refin-
ing capacity of 1 1,678,687 barrels, or
more than 141 per cent, for the seven
year period, 191S-1925. There are
at present $50 complete refineries
as compared with 267 such plants
completed on Jan. L, 1918. In adj
dition, refineries are in process of
construction.
OF the total refinery capacity,
plants operating on May had an
indicated capacity of 2,51LS17 bar
rels daily, while those in shutdown
condition had an indicated capacity
of 342,O25 barrels. Plants in process
of building will have a capacity of
1900 barrels daily.
California, with a daily refining
capacity of 743,72O barrels, led all
states in this respect. Texas, with a
rated capacity of 566,5S0 barrels
daily, ranked as the second state;
Oklahoma, with 348,950 barrels, was
third; New Jersey, with 243,00O bar
rale wac fourth Louisiana with an
indicated daily refining capacity of
165,S45 barrels, ranked as the fifth
state; Pennsylvania, with 143,94O
barrels, was sixth, Wyoming, Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, and
Ohio, followed in she order named.
Petroleum refineries exist in 81 diff
ferent states, the largest number, 113
being in Texas. Oklahoma, with SO,
ranks second; California, with 81,
stands third; Pennsylvania, with SO,
is fourth; and Kansas, with "a, is
fifth.

Government is Loser
Over Five Million

Washington, Aug. % (AP) The
government received $5,353,132 less
in royalties for mineral leasing on
public land during the last fiscal
year than the preceding year, due to
the temporary closing down of wells
in the Wyoming field and to storage
for better prices. Total receipts last
year, the interior department re-
ported today, were sS.27S,7OS
against $13,631,S4O the year before.
Receipts from leases in Wyoming
are reported as $12, 500 in 1925,
and SS,953,5O1 in 1925. The depart
ment pointed out that the price of
oil dropped from a maximum of 81
barrel during March, April, May
and June last year to maximum of
$3.50 during August and September
and S1.25 in October, November and
December, Leases on California
lands, on the other hands, showed a
gain in receipts from S957,4SO in
1924 to $1,O97,OO7 in this year.
Income from royalties in other
states we're: Colorado, $71,2S4;
Montana, $172.6S4; Nevada, $72O;
New Mexico, sS,474; North Dakota,
$3.50; South Dakota s16S; Utah,
s26,S21, and Washington, s4,O65.

$50 BARRELSN
PUMPING TESTS
Group Plans to Sink More
Wells on Their Eighty-Acre
Troct

Production of $50 barrels daily
from the Lewis Oil company we'll
n Sc 1853 west. is indicated by
a pump test that was continued
for three days, Great Falls men
who are interested in the proper
ty were informed in a report re-
ceived Monday.
The pump was operated each
day of the test for eight hours
and in that time the production
was 20 barrels, a rate of approx
lmately $50 barrels daily. The
well flows at intervals and it is
thought that the production could
be increased by deeper drilling,
but that action is not contem-
plated by the owners.
The well and the 80 acres on
which it is situated has been TAX
en- over by eight men, most of
whom were interested in the ori-
ginal company. The new owners
are J. w. Sherwood, w. C. Kirk
patrick, Frank Lampen, George
Sutherland, E. F. Cobb, Bruce

Greeley.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick announced on
Monday that a drilling campaign

GROWING OF QUEEN
FEATURE AT FAIR

Helena, Sept, 2.-One of the
States Fairs biggest features is the
crowning Of the Queen of Montana.
Princesses have been elected from
IA counties after spirited contests
and they will be entertained while
at the State Fair by the Helena Com
mercial Club.
The Royal Court is also making
elaborate preparations for the recep-
ton of the Princesses which will
arrive from every section of the State
TO participate in the contest for hon
ors as Queen. The Queen this year
i'll secsive, IL addition TO the trip
to the Petroleum Exposition at Tulsa
and honorary trips about Montana,
trip to The National meeting OF
the American Legion in Omaha,
which is making the interests more
pronounced than usual.
That there will be keen competition
for county collective exhibit prizes
is evidenced by the Interest already
being displayed by the various coun-
ties. This feature of the Fair,
which was virtually dead for many
years, has been revived with surpris
ing activity. Over 80 counties have
up-to-date reserved space for their
exhibits and the number is daily
increasing. There will be ample
room provided for all counties wish
ing to enter. $500, is the first prize
Offered for these exhibits, 5000 the
second; and 500 the third. A total
of $500 will be given for the best
display of grains and grasses, includ-
ing shelled grain and miscellaneous
samples, which will undoubtedly
stimulate interest amoung farmers
to make individual entries.
Particularly interesting will be the
exhibit of the International Harves-
tor Company this year. The will
have on display an unusually varied
collection of modern, time and labor
saving machines, many of which
will be demonstrated on the grounds.
Judging from the number of re-
quests being received for premium
lists in other lines of entry, such as
livestock, fruit, vegetables, dairy pro
ducts, fine arts, needlework, culin-
ary, ETC., there is stimulation OF
interest manifest which eclipeses
that of any previous year, and which
may be attributed to the reaction OF
the handicap under which the State
Fair was placed this year and the
people of Lewis & Clark County and
Helena going ahead in spite of it all
with indomitable vim and courage
The reaction has spread throughout
the State and it now looks as though
All Montana will be on hand in
Helena during the week of Septem-
Der to 12.

Advertising Did 1t.

Wrigley, the chewing gum man, has
explained how he built up business
of millions of packages day. q
He has done i. by sticking to his
one line and advertising it. He spends
over million dollars year in buying
newspaper space to tell the world
about 5 cent chewing gum. He has
educated people to chew gum and to
chew Wrigley's. He did not stop
shouting as soon as he attracted at
tention.
He says you must keep it up or the
buyers will forget you. Whether
yours is a 5 cent or a $4,000 busi-
ness, keep telling about it.

There Was No Hurry About It

A brawny negro prize-fghter made
application at an athletic club which
was putting on a series of bouts. for
an opportunity. to meet some suitable
opponent. He announced that he
was a dark cloud, a whirlwind. a
tempest, tornado. hurricane and
a sirocco.
His language impressed the match
maker and for the preliminary go he
was entered against a dependable
colored scrapper. The stranger made
a deplorable showing. For two
rounds his opponent hammered him
all over the ring. Early in the third
round the beaten darby decided he
had enough. He took an easy poke
on the jaw and f1attened out on the
canvas to be counted out.
The referee was half way through
with his tally when disgust moved him
to interpolate a speech:
"Say, Niger" he growled out of the
corner Of his mouth, "you amt hurt.
Get up from there! Amt you goin'
to fight any more?"
Without stirring from his comfort
able recumbent position the whirl-
wind made answer:
"Oh, yassah, I'm gwine fight some
