Capi- talism will remain in complete power until labor assumes that control, and while capitalism rules, it will be only the big interests and not the small capitalists, such as farmers, etc.” Foster, in discussing the candi- decies of John W.

Our average consumption js over five barrels ayear for every man,woman and child. The average for the rest of the world is less than one-fifth of a barrel a year! True, we are also the biggest producers, but we consume more than we produce. To keep the country supplied with gasoline, kerosene and lubricating oils the industry has had to go to the ends of the earth to huntoil. It has had to dig deeper and still deeper. California’s deepest well has been pushed to a depth of over 7,000 feet without striking oil. The orders are to drill to the limit of mechanical possibility. That is the spirit that inspires the industry to keep every way- side pump filled with gasoline: explore to the limit, drill to the limit, refine to the limit,improve quality to the limit. Only in that way can 15 million motorists get reliable “gas” whenever and ‘wherever they need it. It is this spirit which has kept the“Standard” tank wagon on its weekly round over our remotest roads and kept “Standard” Gaso- line up to the limit of quality.
