One cf these was the discovery of an ex- plesive bomb, which, when opened, proved to be the bonus.bill. Another con d upon George Harvey, ambas- sador to Great Brita‘n, impersonated by a club member, who demanded an opportunity to make a speech, “President .

It has become such a chestnut that this year we cut it out.” Letters were read which had been received in answer to this advertise- ment: “Wanted. A Leader for the Re- publican \party ing congress. Experi- ence unnecessary. Address the Gridiron Club, Washington, D.

LIGNITE COAL’S OUTLOOK GREATER’ THAN THAT OF STEEL 20 YEARS AGO (Bulletin from Office, North Dakota Reclamation Herbert A. 'Hard, Fargo,.N.'D. ‘Fargo, N. D., April 25&—But.a few years ago the boosters of. the possi- bilities. of lignite, . as of airplanes, were indulg2ntly smiled on as either dreamers or as propagandists, in whom sound business could take no stcck. ‘Today, to show fully: estab- lished is, its economic basis, a prom- inent financier has said of lignite: “It is one of the greatest possibiligies of financial development of the U.S. It, has a greater outlook thane had steel 20 years ago.” The recent announcement that the federal appropriation of $100,000 is now available to the Burcau of Mines for investigation of lignite, adds new confidence. : It is remarkable: that the wonder- ‘ful possibilities of lignite, and the op- portunity to overturn the present un- sound coal marketing method of the northwest has not long ago attracted eastern capital, and it is but a natural outecme that recent press digpatches | indicate its organization to develop the state’s vast mineral wealth. The .superiority of North Dakota's coal is attested by the fact that South Dakota has recently established and is, successfully operating a: state mine in North Dakota for its institutions. ‘Recoghizing Value’ ‘The full value of lignite for uss un- der boilers and even in home heating is gradually: being récognizéd as. grates, furnaces and, drafts are, being adapt:d to its needs, and ag the peo- ple become familiar with the ordinary ig rapidly being extended to all kinds of service and it will be but a few years until its consumption will.'be quite general on account of its low iprice.

DEALISM combined with prac- tical efficiency are the motives, inspiring the 25,000 men and ‘women who make up the personnel of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). ee The ideal of production is to create petroleum products as nearly perfect " as is humanly possible. The expres- sion of this ideal in tangible form has resulted in a vast and superla- . tively efficient service to 25 million ‘people in 11 Middle Western States. To perform this service our com- plete refineries are working 24 hours every day. At the Whiting Plant alone the Standard : Oil Company ‘(Indiana) employs.more than 3,500 people and has an annual capacity. of 14,600,000 bbls. of crude oil 7,750,000 bbls. of gasoline 2,190,000 bbls. of refined oil. 1,800,000 bbls. of lubricating oil. 35,000 tons of refined wax 100,000 tons of asphalt products. * 14,000 tons of candles _2;500 tons of parowax - ‘ ‘24,000 tons of grease . These plants are the visible expres- sion of an ideal, To bring them to their present degree of efficiency fequired years of: time, intensive training, wide experience and almost _ limitless resources., Ree The seven men who guide the affairs _of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are. planning constantly “new methods and more ways to . achieve greater effectiveness in serv- ing the people depending upon the Company for petroleum products. These men are working to perfect a complete service—first by manufac- ~ turing a maximum number of useful petroleum products and second by maintaining a complete system: of distribution which shall: carry.thesé _ products to the consumer whenever and. wherever he may have need for them. : men are at your disposal.
