e KT AT T I NIRRT [T Where Standard - @il Efficiency IS Needed Most N the ten Middle Western States served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) there is one automobile for each 9 persons. It is estimated that 65% of these vehicles are owned by farmers. That is why the utmost of efliciency in refining, manufacturing, and distribut- ing gasoline and other petroleum prod- ucts 1s needed most in this great territory. To indicate the tremendous increase in the number of cars and trucks, the fol- lowing statement of 1919 and 1920 regis- trations by states is given: STATES 1919 1920 So. Dakota - 104,625 - 122,040 Jowa - - < 363,000 - 442,200 Minnesota - 259,743 - 323,572 Missouri - - 229,577 - 295,817 Kansas - - 228,601 - 265,385 No. Dakota - 82,885 - 90,840 Michigan - 296,378 - 412,275 Wisconsin - 236,974 - 303,246 Indiana - - 277,255 - 332,207 Illinois - - 478,438 - 569,127 2,557,476 3,156,709 To enable these machines to operate in all weather, under all conditions, and wherever they may be located, an adequate supply of gaso- line is needed. To supply this need is the con- stant endeavor of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The refineries operated by this Com- pany are working night and day to increase the yield of gasoline taken from crude oil, without in any way sacrificing the quality of the’ gasoline. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) operates a distribution system maintained at as near to 100% efficiency as is humanly possible. To do this calls for a minute and unwearying study of local conditions, and for constant anticipation of future needs. All activities of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are co-ordinated to the highest degree of efficiency to insure maximum economy. Thus in the” Middle West, where efficiéncy it needed most, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is performing this essential economic service to the benefit of all the people.

This Bureau PAGE SIXTEEN ADVERTISEMENTS - From a Pioneer Kansas Fight Recalls Story of John Brown DITOR Nonpartisan Lead- er: Inclosed you will find two editorials, one from the Kansas City Post, the other from the Kansas City Journal. Both of them rip “Townleyism” up the back. Their antics carry me back in memory to more than half a century ago when Missouri editors used to say all kinds of crazy things about Kansas when John Brown was preaching abolition of slavery in that state. To-. day John Brown’s spirit goes march- ing on and every school boy and girl knows more of old John Brown than they ever heard of all his traducers to- gether. I can hardly wait till the mail comes to get the big dailies. Oh, boy, it is great to live in these days! Nothing like it. If I were not so old I would go up ear.

BANKER HEADS BUREAU Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Ine closed find a clipping of the Cleveland Plain Dealer on the Farm Bureau movement. It is a good thing that the farmers are waking up to what they will have to do. I do not like to see the Farm Bureau movement. I, for one, would rather see the Non- partisan movement, for in my estima- movement is, in my way of thinking, a movement by the capitalists to head off the Nonpartisans and the general public will again be sidetracked in the betterment of their condition. : You will notice a W. U. Noble, a so- called farmer, but really a banker of the town, is at the head of the move- ment. He doesn’t care a rap-for the farmers and their condition but he blows on the same horn with big business men. You will also take notice of the last four lines of the article about taking a farm speaker along to the meeting so as to take up the time of the meeting and when it is over there is nothing done for the betterment of the farmer, and again you may repeat “Oh, what fools these mortals be.” WILLIAM C. LANG. East Cleveland, Ohio. I have written a book, en- titled “All About Silos.” It describes silos of different types, and explains the good and bad points of each; tells about silage as, feed.
