Facts On Old People

r.. f. podd, our venerable and promi-
nent friend of Bethesda was in town
Friday on business and despite his 90
years appeared much livelier than a
man of so, the heat failing to dampen
his enthusiasm like many younger ones
who talked to him. Mr.. Dodd said he
had been reading with much interest
about the list of people in Holmes
county 80 years old and older and that
he wished every person in the county
would drop line to the paper, telling
their age and bit of their personal
history in order that the facts might
be made permanent in the files and to
also acquaint many folks with them.
So once more The Advertiser opens the

January Demand for
Montana Crude Oil
Larger Than Forecast

The market demand for crude oil
IN Montana in January, 1871. will be
1900 barrels day. against the De-
ceinoer forecast OF 1900 barrels. ac-
Cording to the monthly forecast of the
U. s. Bureau OF Mines. which forsees
an increase Of 8 percent in the daily
average domestic demand for all oils
IN the year l94I in the United States.
The actual daily market demand in
January. 1870 in Montana was 1900
barrels. so the estimate for the COM
ing month is 1900 barrels per day
greater.
The daily market demand forecast
is greater than the present daily pre-
duction CT all Montana oil fields
which is averaging Slightly above 49,
600 barrels per day. This would n
dictate that refiners Will likely be short
OF oil amid the peak refinery demands
coming next spring.
The increase of percent in the
daily average domestic demand for all
oil in 1871. including special defense
sonable and conservative assumption.
assuming no drastic changes in inter
national relations. the forecast states.
This would amount TO an actual in
crease of about l02 million barrels for
the year. A further loss in exports
might reduce this figure to percent
increase in the total demand for all
oils. gain of about 81 million barrels
in 1891 over 1910.
Crude production Of about 300 900
of demand as indicated by an esti-
mated increase in tie stocks of all oils
'crude and refined OF about 40 mil
lion barrels for the year. Consequent
ly. the same rate Of production in
1874. with no stock change would sup
ply almost one-half of the increased
demand for all oils C87 million) as es-
timated above the remaining increase
of AZ million barrels in the demand
for all oil= might be met by stock de-
creases OF 10 millions, By increased
imports o. 10 million. and by a gain ir
crude-oil production of 81 million bar
res This would indicate a daily av-
erage crude-oil production Of 3.775y00o
barrels in l94l. an increase of per-
cent over 1910.
The balance of possible refined oil
exports. imports and stock changes
would indicate an increase in crude
runs to stills of over percent-an
average rate OF nearly 100000 Dbl
daily for lS4I.
