THE PRICE SHOOTS
jYodnction of Petroleum Greater
Than Tear Before, but Away
Up Goei Gasoline.
AND EXPORTS ARE LESS, TOO
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. Official
Government figures made public
liere today disclosed that in tbe face
pt rising prices of gasoline, produc
tion of crude petroleum during tbe i
last tear was greater tban In 1914,
although production was "purposely
retarded as far as practicable;" that
the reserve stock of crude petroleum
now being held in the country is the
largest ever recorded: and that ex-,
ports of gasoline, to which the rise j
In prices frequently Das oeen attri
buted, were in the last ten months of
116, less than the exports during
the corresponding period of the two
'years previous.
Two rrobra Ob.
Both the Derailment of Justice and
the Federal Trade commission are pre
paring to Inveftlgate geaollne pr ces.
A atatement Issued hy the gio.olcal
survey estimated the 1!1S production of
market petroleum at 2".40,(.0 barrels,
I.OCO barrela more than In 1914.
"This." says the atatement, "docs not
agree with the currently reported reason
lor the exceptionally high prlcea now
prevailing lor motor fuel." It adds:
"Aa a result of the overload put on
'the transporting and refining rhae
of the petroleum Industry by the excest
output of 1911. the year 1915 may te char
acterised aa a period of readjustment in
Swhlch productive activity wae purposely
Retarded aa far aa practicable. The mall

Some of the Factors.
. Factors that might be expected to af
fect the price of gasoline, according to
'Geographical aurvey officiate are produc
tion, consumption and prlcea of crude
I petroleum. Consumption figures, they
said, wera not available, though conaup
'tlon waa increasing. '

Henry W. Dunn, chief of police, says
he has loved dogs ever since he was
knee high to a grasshopper. His present

name la !atay, alias Pudge. This dog is
11 years old and haa been a member of
the Dunn household for seven years.
Tatsy'a father was a bench winner and
the son seems to take delight In impress
ing upon visitors the fact that his sire
was a collector of blue ribbons. Mrs.
Dunn made a pillow1 for Patsy, who was
quick to learn the value of the head rest.
When he goes to sleep for the night or
wants to take an afternoon nap, he gets
the pillow out and arranges It carefully
for the convenience of his head.
Aa a rule, when visitors call. Patsy
gets the pillow out and places It In full
view. Thla dog receives the mall from
the Carrier, brings in the newspaper
every day and otherwise Is quite a help

A few days ago Mrs. Dunn was buy
with her needle when Patsy appeared,
carrying the pillow from his mouth. He
dropped the pillow on the floor and
whined as he looked Into Mrs. Dunn's
face. The pillow needed mending.
About ten years ago Chief Dunn had
a valuable hunting dog he named Joe.
He loaned the dog one day to an Omaha
man who was in his A.B.C.'s of hunt
ing. When the hunter returned home he
called at the Dunn residence to apolo
gize for having lost Joe and was sur
prised to learn that the dog returned
home alone, traveling a distance of
twenty-eight miles. The answer Is that
Joe became disgusted after having pointed
four prairie chickens and' his master's
friend missing the mark every time. At
leaat the friend told Mr. Dunn the dog
left after the fourth ahot missed the
birds.

MAKING BRITISH MUNITIONS

plied. PRIVATE FACTORIES USED
(Correspondence of The Aoe.lated Press.)
LONDON, Nov. TS-The following facts
ss to the making of munitions are sup
plied to the Associated Pres by one of
the heads of that department.
"The country I divided Into areas,
each of which has a local uoard of man
agement In control acting under the min
istry of munitions. This hoard of mnnive
ment has representatives of the leading
engineering and manufacturing firms,
and expert engineers working the whole
time on the work of the mln'atry are
attached to each board and survey all
the engineering resources In the locality
so as to utilize these aa highly as possi
ble for the production of munitions.
"This work hra been carried very far
and machinery concentrated in suitable
factories and every effort made to util
ize all the lathes and enelneering equip
ment In every town and district In the
locality.
"Each hoard of management Is In di
rect touch with headquarters at the min
istry of munitions, where there Is a gen
tleman who Is In charge of every par
ticular district and U able to answer
all Inquiries and help and advise In any
difficulty which may occur In that par
ticular area.
"At the head of this organization Is
Mr. J. Stevenson, a business man of wide
experience. It should be noted that the
powers exercised In regard to taking ma
chinery and factories by these local or
ganisations acting under the ministry of
munitions are very extensive and very
drastic.
"The national shell factories already es
tablished number twenty and are chiefly
situated In large centers of manufacture,
while co-opcrntlve systems run side by
side so that every available means may
be taken of Increasing the supply.
"Steps have been taken to control the
conditions under which private factories
are working, the powera of the ministry

A KIDNEY REMEDY THAT NEVER FAILS
Experienced Druggists in Every State Recommend and Use
Swamp-Root in Their Own Families.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root sells well
with ua because It Invariably produces
good results in Kidney, Liver and Blad
der troubles. We sold a dollar bottle to
one of the Inmatee of our Soldiers' Home
near here, and after using it he brought
In about one dozen gravel atones some aa
large as a pea, which he had passed. He
mates that he obtained wonderful relief
from the use of Swamp-Root.
