Twenty years ago the United States j
government crowned itself with a|
crown of steel. Steel was king. During
the past twenty years King Steel ruled .
the industrial and commercial markets |
•X the world with a supremacy ua
challenged. Today &e steel King has j
been dethroned and King Petroleum j
now rules, and the nations of the
world are each striving to bdild a
throne that the new king may occupy.
British financial and governmental
leaders are working together as they
work in no other country laying the
foundations for a throne that the new
king may occupy. They have extended
their control over the richest oil fields
in the world until today , by their own
estimates they control 75 percent of|
all remaining petroleum resources.
Making proper allowances for this
ftatement along lines of patriotic en
thusiasm and fervor their still remains
su&cfent circumstantial data to sup
pprt the claim to justify consideration
.h| the American people as to just
what* such a control would mean. One
British periodical says: “America is
running through her stores of domes
tic oil and is obliged to look abroad
for future reserves. These rcserves
constituting a key position in Inter
national industry, are very largety in
the hands Of or controlled by British

i capitol. Before very long America will
I have to come to us for petroleum.
“Bombastic and vain, perhaps, but
^ supported to hii alarming extent by
evidence,” say government authorities
at Washington, in closest touch i
with the oil situation. Twenty years
ago steel was king, but today steel is
helpless without oil. Wheels cannot •
f ...
| turn, engines cannot furnish power, in- j
dustry can not move without oil.
King Petroleum has ascended to the
throne and the seat of the power may
be moved to the British Isles.
The question is, “What are we go
ing to do about it ?
Supposing we people of Sewaid get
together and drill a hole on the pen
insula. What?

i Bill Patterson:—
Here lie the remains of Windy Bill,
Beneath this mound of gross,
He thought his foot was on the
I brake,
< But it was on the gas.
! Andy Novak:—
At forty milos he crossed the track,
The Ford truck fairly flew,
| But the Seward train cut abort his
life, .
: For it came at forty two.
I *
: Harry Ellsworth:—
| A cow and calf stood on the roafl,
| One night at mile post three,
The dimmers dimmed them both so
dim,
That Harry failed to see,
His car was going at full speed,
With rocking lurch and bow,
He missed the calf by just a foot,
But hit the bloomin’ cow.
Joe Badger:—
Joe drove his car at highest speed,
Wherever he did go,
The power he used was triple
strength,
T’was never H-2-0,
One night he tried to make a turn,
Upon the main highway,
The car was making thirty ?miles., ;
And now he’s laid away.
Wayne Blue:—
He cranked his Pol'd upon a hill,
The Ford was headed down,
The gas was on, the brake unset,
Thus Wayne Blue left our town.
Pete Ogle:—
The bones of Pete recline in peace,
Beneath this slab of stone,
His Auto now' is still and quiet,
We miss its noisy tone,
He tried to climb a hill on high
Without sufficient gas,
The car it quit when half way up,
And Pete received his pass.
