many pockets. Nothing but headaches this morning for the democrats. Well some one had to have ’em. We will try to stand it if the r< i of the 105,000,000 people in the United States do. Now we shall have “normalcy” and we will see how yon like that. Ct course if you don't you will have the opportunity in four years to change i baok and that's probably just what i you will do. The victory was so big for the republicans that they don't seem to realize it themselves. There was less celebration last night than in any presidential election since we • can remember and that takes In several of them. Adams county gave a republican majority for president for the firsttime in its history. The vote so governor however showed there were

i _ .. ■, ... - o, Hols in tl|e Greand COMMENTING upon the rise in the price of gasoline, a man who is unfamiliar with petroleum production writes: “The Lord, who put the oil in the earth, charges nc more for it than he ever did. It comes for nothing out of the ground when you dig a hole.” This is true, if it comes out of the ground without help. The greatly increased cost lies in digging the hole, casing it, caring for the oil when it comes out,’and transporting and handling it on its way to the refinery. Petroleum Age i»its September issue says: “The cost of drilling and equipping a well at the present scale of prices for material and labor runs from Five Thousand Dollars for a shallow sand pumper to Seventy-five Thousand Dollars for the deep wells. A general average covering the entire country would run about Twenty Thousand Dollars per welk” One item which is often overlooked is the cost of drilling wells which fail to produce oil. It is estimated that from 20 to 30 percent of all well% put down are , ■ dry holes. Yet, in spite of all discouragements, which included shortage of casing, difficulties of transports'ion, and the increasing expense of labor, on July 31st, 1920, there were eleven thousand wells drilling or under way east of the Rocky Mountains, with completions averaging about three thousand wells a month. Probably thirty six thousand wells will be completed during 1920. The total expense including investment in drilling tools, lease equipment and labor, is roughly estimated at one billion dollars. Deducting two hundred fifty million dollars (25 percent) for salvage on equipment susceptible of further use, the net investment in new production for the year will be seven hundred fifty miilion dollars. It is apparent that oil does not come “for nothing out of the ground.” Oil is usually discovered in spots remote from rail centers. The cost of pumping and transporting it to the refinery is a heavy charge, nt the refinery charges begin to pile up, for refining oil is a true manufacturing pwcess involving application of chemistry, the use of specialized machinery, and human labor. All of these factors add to the cost of a product which Nature has given us. The Standard Oii Company (Indiana) has been steadfastly applying the trained power of its organization to increasing the yield of gasoline from crude, and in achieving economies by large scale oporativns in refining and distributing its products.

McLaughlin, Muskegon; 11th district. Frank D. Scott, Alpena; 12th fiistrict W. Frank James, Hancock. A hard fought battle between opponents and proponents of the anti- , parochial school amendment to the state constitution resulted in its de- . feat by approximately 2 to 1, returns I today showed. The amendment it adopted would have excluded all parochial schools from the state and forced all children between the ages of 5 and 16 to attend public schools. Next ’to president, the school amend ment was paramount in yesterday’s election. Alexander J. Groesbeck, republican was running far ahead of Woodbridge N. Ferris, democrat, for governor. For lieutenant governor, Thomas Read defeated Frank A. Picard. the same returns indicate. The count on candidates for other ; state offices was being completed ■ morning.
