Too broad an iiifWenoe from nnv
set of fitcures is unwise, but other sta
tistics point in the same direction.
Fuel oil is used on 3fi7 vessels of our
navy and the shipping board has an
nounced that there will soon be 17:11
oil-burnine vessels of the merchant
marine under the American flim: sins
oline is now sold at every cross roads,
and we know that the use of this
fuel in automotive cnirines has inor?
than quadrupled durintr the present
decade; and the country's demand for
lubricating oil, which is an essentia!
in every phase of modern civilization
increases so rapidly that we mast
' agree with the Bureau of Alines in the
belief thut the current consumption
of lubricants is nil excellent barom
eter of business and industrial con
ditions. There are six million pleasure cars
in the United States..
Inventive genius and economic ne
cessity mriv from time to time change
the relative demands for this or that
petroleum derivative, but the sum total
of these demands must increase ns
the number of swiftly turning
wheels in the world increases.
It is' when we think of the marve
lous growth of the automotive in
dustry thnt we realize a future de
mand for lubrication that stuggers
even the prophetic statistican. With
more than -six million plensure nuto
mobiles operated in the United States
alone, we have an' annual consump
tion estimated bv the officials of the
foremost compnny manufacturing
high-grade lubricants, at 120 million
gallons of lubricating oil, where 20
yenrst' ago the demand for this pur
pose was practically nothing.
Moreover, today a fleet of half a
million motor trucks travel up and
down' our city streets and state roads
delivering every kind of commodity
from eggs to pianos, nnd these pow
erful " motors furnish a market for
37V4 million gallons of lubricating' nil.
, But while wemny expect the demand
for oil by automobiles to continue to
increase rapidly and the require
ments bv trucks may possibly double
within a few years indeed, a tiro
company estimates that even now n
million trucks are in service who
can even guess at the number of
tractors that may be operating oi:
our farms within the next five years.
Already the number of tractors in
operation is' estimated as a third of
a million and thov consume about
thirty-five million gallons of lubri
cating oil.
We have, .then a total of fully two
hundred million gallons of lubricating
oil already required to keep tho auto
motive equipment of our country run
ning smoothly, nnd we must not shut
our eyes to the fact that millions and
millions of gallons more will be needed
each year.

SEATTLE, Apri 20. Senator
Miles Poindexfer, who reached Spo
kane yesterday, will arrive in Seattle
tomorrow, It was announced today.
Senator Poindoxter plans to attend
the republican state convention at
Belllngham and will make a three
weeks tour of Oregon In the interest
of hlB campaign for the republican
presidential nomination.
In her latest play "The Woman of
Bronze," -Miss Anglin has scored not
only a success for the moment, but
she has achieved with her excellent
company a production which will
command its public for many a day.
The response to the appeal of this
play of Henry Kisteraecher and
Eugene Lelard, and Miss Anglin's in
terpretation of Its leading character
is immediate. One's Interest is hl
Horn the rise of the curtain, to life
close of each act, and to the end of
the play, by tho brilliancy of the dia
logue, the flashes of humor, and the
strong emotional appeal. There are
no dull moments in this story of mod
ern life, and in it one finds Jliss
Anglin bringing to her audience once
again that power of emotional ex
pression, as well as personal charm,
which haB always made her work dis
tinctive. Not since the presentation
of "The Great Divide," has -Miss Ang
lin found a play so compelling.
The cast is large necessarily, pic
turing as it does the life or people of
affairs in their social intercourse, and
Miss Anglin has chosen her company
with great Judgment, fitting each to
the special demand made by the part
to be portrayed.
As the drama develops, one finds
comedy nnd pathos, human strength
and weakness, feminine foibles, but
dominating the whole the tragedy of
three people.
Miss Anglin has given this play a
setting In every way perfect. It Is
the work of Livingston Piatt, and in
it one finds an artistic background
most adequate.
One cannot afford to miss this
splendid production which will be at
the Page yieater on Monday night,
April 26th.
One peck of medium-sized seeil po
tatoes, cut so there will be two good
eyes to a piece nnd dropped one piece
to n hill, will plant 3"i() feet of row,
according to the United States de
partment of Agriculture. If seasonal
nnd other conditions lire right this
peck of seed potatoes should pro
duce at least sixteen-fold, or four
bushels of potatoes. ' Some home
gardeners have grown six and seven
bushels of early liotatoes from a
pack of seed, but thut is exceptional.
Sixteen pecks ot potatoes, or4o qunr-ter-peeks,
will provide the potatoes
for at least 48 dinners for a family
of five, witli some left form each din
ner to bo fried for breakfast the lot
lowing morning.
Potatoes are important in the diet,
nnd enrlv potatoes from home gar
dens are especially appetizing. It
may not nay to crowd out the more
intensive gnrden vegetables in order
to grow early potatoes, but wherever
space will permit at least one pccK ol
seed should be planted. A good plan
is to plant late sugar corn between
the potatoes about the time the po
tato vines begin to show sfgns of
ripening. Then as tho potatoes are
dug, hoe the soil around the corn.
Late cabbage plants arc often set
between the potatoes and a crop of
cabbage is produced after the pota
toes are removed.

taneous campaign of the churches co
operating in the lnterchurch World'
Movement has been set at $",700.

$230,000. This sum is the total for
tho general campaign, und is in addi
tion to the denominational quotas,
several of which already have been
announced. The campaign will he
directly in the hands ot the Inter-
hurch county director for this coun
ty.
This does not comprise a budget
or the interchurch movement as an
organization. The subscriptions to
this fund nro to be divided among
the cooperating churches. In the
coming united simultaneous cam
paign memberships of the various
cooperating churches v.-ill be asked
for millions of dollars to carry on

county campaign director, "not for

ters, welfare work In backward in
dustrial fields. The program of the
churches cooperating in the Inter

than a 'Christian' program in its or
dinarily accepted sense as applying
to particular religious denomina
tions. It is a humanitarian move
ment Christianity In its broadest
sense."
