Do Gasoline Prices Fluctuate? nn HE average man, paying for staple comJ modities by the month, fails to consider the wide fluctuation in prices, while noting quickly the smallest change in the price of gasohne, which he buys at frequent inteivals and for which he pays cash. Bureau of Labor, and Department of Commerce, statistics indicate that gasoline prices fluctuate less than the price of most staple commodities. In 1922, the price of eggs fluctuated 125 points; potatoes 210 points; sugar 51 points, as against only 25 points in the price of gasoline. In 1923, the price of eggs fluctuated 110 points; potatoes 114 points; sugar 59 points, milk 49 points, as against 47 points for gasoline. The reason for the wide fluctuation in the price of gasoline during 1923 was the opening of new fields, which flooded the market with crude oil rich in gasoline. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) bases its price for gasoline fundamentally on the varying price of crude, which in turn is regulated by supply and demand. To equal ize supply with demand, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has erected and maintains Storage depots of tremendous capacity. It has located these depots at strategic points throughout its territory. These huge tanks are filled to capacity, in the off-season, to supply the insistent demand during the season of heavy motoring and agricultural activities. This Company has systematically passed on to consumers, in the way of price reductions, the benefits derived from improved methods of refining petroleum. It has blazed the trail in originating improved technique, improved equipment and more efficient processes of refining and distribution, thereby aiding the industry to keep abreast of continually expanding needs for petroleum products. The service of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) tends to hold gasoline prices down —and to modify fluctuation by increasing the supply in proportion to demand—and by equalizing distribution, so as to bring gasoline prices into seasonal and sectional harmony.

Many Conferences and Practical Measures Are Bettering Farm Situation From
Ground Up.
The merits of Intermediate and longtime agricultural credit now available, organization and co-opera-tion of producers for balanced production. and orderly marketing are the chief topics of discussion at many banker-farmer conferences being held in various parts of the country with the assistance of the American Bank-
ers Association.
At a Texas Agricultural College meeting representatives of agricultural and livestock associations agreed that there is no such thing as over-production, and that every increase in production should raise the standard of living higher. They saw need for the organization of producers for balanced production and orderly marketing to relieve the stress In agriculture, with credit provided of suindent time to cover farm and
ranch turnover.

worth. He said upon arriving home from Springfield, Mass., the first headline that caught his attention was that a race driver in Indianapolis had gone at the pace of 98 miles per hour a distance of some 500 miles. Bishop Grose asked and answered then this question. It was, “Where was he going.” The answer was “Just around, and around and around.” He contrasted this headline with what should, he thought, have been the dominating story—that of the memorial day exercises for those who had given their lives that America might go on. The address was full of fire and was one of the best baccalaureate sermon Bishop Grose ever gave in Greencastle. His address to the seniors which follows was a fitting climax to his 12 years of service to DcPauw University and Greencastle and brought out in it what Bishop Grose has striven to live up to while in
this city.
Bishop Grose’s charge to the Sen-
iors was as follows:
Tho college has sought to give you I thru study of histoyy some acquaint- 1 ance with the accomplishments of men. Thru literature you have got glimpses of the lofty ideals of the j race. Thru the sciences you have been introduced to a vast world of ! physical forces. The practical arts i wall put keen-edged tools into your \ hands for doing the world’s work. I But something more is needed: Not . only must your vision be broadened, j but your sympathy must be deepened, j Men expect you to he able to tell them | both about the mastery of life and j the mystery of life. When men all about you are crying only for things, you must have a passion for good causes.
