Hundreds of spectators at the air circus conducted by the American Legion at the flying field two miles north of Elkhart were horrified to see the youth's body hurtle through the air, after he had jumped from a plane, and plunge to the earth. His parachute failed to open until he was within a few feet of the ground. The accident occurred at 5:3u o'clock Saturday afternoon. A biplane, piloted by Roger Mensing, of Fort Wayne, had dived downward at a height of about 4 00b feet, when the youth jumped. His body landed in a ploughed field about one half mile north of the aviation field, just inside of a fence surrounding a garden patch. R. B. Philips, was one of the first witnesses to reach him. and said that the man was breathing when he reached him. He never regained consciousness and was taken to the hospital in an automobile. He is believed to have landed on his feet, the impact through his spine fracturing his skull. Witnesses said that if the parachute had opened a few seconds sooner his fall would have been broken, and he might possibly have escaped injury. —_ o—“High Blood Pressure” Can be overcome by natural methods.

We both feel it is our duty to recommend Konjola to others who suffer”. Konjola is sold in Syracuse at Thornburg’s drug store and by all the best druggists in all , towns throughout this entire section.

A GREAT INDUSTRY Not only is the oil industry important as furnishing a private means of locomotion to practically every citizen of Our Country, but petroleum products from a larger proportion of railroad tonnage than any other manufactured commodity. The oil industry has invested some $11,000,000,000, which is half as much as is invested in railroads and more than twice the investment of the steel industry. In the 69 years since the first oil well was drilled in Pennsylvania in 1859, 740,000 wells have been drilled in 21 states, of which 319,000 are- still producing. One half of all producing wells had initial production of not more than 25 barrels a day, while less than three per cent of wells yield more than 50 per cent of domestic production. The industry spends some $500,000,000 annually for new wells. Physical waste of oil is practically nonexistent with improved methods of producing, handling and refining. Up to a few years ago, natural gas was either allowed to escape or was utilized in its natural state only for lease operations. Now it is one of the most important factors, and 500,000 gallons of gasoline are produced daily from gas from wells. Oil companies bear a staggering burden of taxation, and, in addition, all but two states impose a retail sales tax on gasoline varying from one to five cents a gallon. A number of cities also levy ’an additional sales tax for local purposes. State gasoline taxes in 1927 amounted to some $249,000,000 an amount nearly equal to onethird the interest on our national debt for that year, and a sum sufficient to build two paved roads from New York to San
