The Government appealed to-
day for greater petroleum pro-
duction.
Secretary of the Interior Krue
asked the cooperation of Governors
of ajor producing States to bring
about maximum output. He stressed
however, that sound conservation
practices should not be ignored.
Needs for the armed forces, motor
and tractor fuel this summer, and
heating and industrial fuel oil next
winter require additional production
Mr. Krug said.
His appeal went to the Governors
.of Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana
Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico
Oklahoma and Texas.
Oil Officials Meet.
1t was made public as oil industry

The Story of The
Tobacco Plains Country"

The manuscript of The Story
Of the Tobacco Plains Country is
nearing completion It is a mighty
job to edit and write up the ma
terial from at least three hundred
sources-to use a great deal of the
contributed articles and reminis-
cences in the words of the teller,
yet eliminate overlapping and
track down the truth in conflicting
stories. For example, the contri-
button of Charles Loring, home
steader of the '90's and now Chief
Justice of Minnesota'S Supreme
Court, was cut into about a dozen
portions, and used in four or five
different chapters, while some sec
tionS were eliminated because their
subject had already been covered.
The result is some twenty five
chapters, each one a readable and
meaningful story in itself, and the
whole a panoramic history of our
locality from earliest times to the
present (later events, since the
early l900's, are merely touched
upon to give a perspective). There
are facts and figures, adventure and
hardship, tragedy and humor, with
wherever possible upon
personalities.
The material should print about
two hundred rather large book
pages, with some twenty or more
pages of Photographic reproduc
tions. BY having the book printed
in as large a quantity as possible,
