American kerosene - sup plies light, while in rrAre than eighty coun tries the products of our mineral oild aire used in gen erating power or for lubrication of machinery' there ' in opera tion.; About 1,000 million gallons of American kerosene pass out of the country, annually, to be used chiefly in lighting . homes and places of business, and the value of all classes of mineral oil sent out of the country approximates 100 million dollars a 3 ear. V The United States now produc es two-thirds of the world's sup ply, of petroleum, the quantity produced in the year just ended having been, according to a state ment recently issued by the Geo logical Survey, over 200 million barrels of crude oil, or more than 8 ' billion gallons. Just, what quantity of refined oil was pro duced frum this more than 8 mil lion gallons of crude oil produced in 1910'cannot now be stated, but the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor shows exports of practi callv a billion of gallons a vear e refined illuminating oil, and approximately 1 1-2 billion gallions of oil of all classes, in cluding in this term illuminating oil,., lubncating oil, naphthas, and . certain . quantities in the crude or unrefined state. What is the value of this more than 8 million gallons of miner al oil produced in the United Stat es last year? Probably 175 million dollars, though this is necessarily an estimate What is the value of the finished article, the illumi nating : oil, the naphthas, - the gasolene the lubricating oil, the paraffin and other grades manu factured from this raw product? This can' only be estimated, though the Census of 1905 shows the value of the products of "pe troleum refining V in 1904 to be 175 million dollars.' What is the value of mineral oil exported? The Bureau of Statistics shows that the total value of the miner al oil exported in 1904 was 80 million dollars, and in 1908 was 109 'million, of which 76 million was illuminating oil; 19 million lubricating oil; 4 1-2 naphthas; and other lighter products of dis tillation: . 6 1-2 million dollars crude oil and about 3 million dol lars residiunm. In 1909 and 1910 the ' value of the exports was slightly less than in 1908. due Cuieiiy w a iau in eApurt pncea. though the quantity also showed a - slight decline in 1910 when compared with 1908. What becomes of this billion) and at half gallons of ur petrole um passing out .of the country? It goes, as already indicated, to a hundred different . countries, colonies and islands, 'Scarcely a country in the world can be nam ed to whom if is not sent ; Even LRussia, which va? fotStears. our chief rival in$ie world's petrp leum markets, now takes consid erable quantities oKAmerican lubricating oil made from petro leum, and her Asiatic possessions take also, certain quantities of our illuminating oil The largest customer for our illuminating ' oil is England; to which the exports of 1910 'amounted to about 180 million gallons, Valued at more than 8 million dollars.;, Germany tanks second, the' quantity sent to that country in 1910 -. being about 108' million . gallons; to Netherlands about ' 100 million gallons: China about 80 1 million; Japan about 45 million; and even British! India about 32 million gallons. In fact practically every country in the - world receives greater or less quantities' of our petroleum.' The list of countries to which it is sent includes Green land, Iceland, Malta, and other of the Mediterranean Islands; the Azores and Madeira Islands, Tur key in Europe and Asia. Egypt, Siam," Koree, Honekong; the Straits Settlements, Dutch East Indies, , .French East Indies; French. Germany, and British Oceania; the Philippine Islands, Mcdagascar; Italian, German, French.

Not only is our kerosene popu lar in the homes of all parts of the world, out American gasolene exported under the general title of naphtha, is furnishing power for motor-boats, automobiles and flying machines in various sec tions of the world, while lubrl eating oil exported goes to more than eighty countries, and is valued at more than 20 million dollars a year. Drawbacks. Greensboro Record. The greatest drawback to pro gressthat the people of the world have had to con tend with through all ages has been the inability of men to perceive the great oppor tunities for advancement that are in plain view all around them. Only the most perverse state of wilful blindness can account for the fact that so few realize the vastness of the field which opens the way to success to all who are willing to labor therein It is this same' wilful blindness that causes pur boys to leave the farm and crowd the cities to overflow ing. It is responsible for the fascination of the great West for the Eastern bred lad and it caus es the cowboy to lay his lariat aside turn his bronco a-loose on the plains and drift to the cul tured and effete Esst. It .fills the park benches of the cities with the unemployed, and forms the breadline that New York City feeds each day. For there is plenty of work in the world for all, and it seldom becomes realy necessary for ! us to leave the place of our birth to find it, pro vided we will only keep our eyes open and not close our ears to the knocks of opportunity on our doors. This "aforesaid .lack of clearness ' of vision -, causes; the land owner to ignore the great natural resources of his property and allows the. stranger to ac quire possession, for a few doll ars, and make a million out of the coal or oil it fields, u This blindness caused. the citizens of Bethlehem to loose their chance for everlasting hapiness ; when they failed to discern the diyini tv of their Savoir. .

Ta Meet Ib Balelgh Next Wednesday, 1 You are Iovtted ta Attend No I table Speakers. - North Carolina is now the fourth state in the Union in the amount of lumber cut, the output totalling last year 2,178,000.000 feet. This means an average cut for lumber alone of 200 board feet annually from every acre of woodland in the state. Though taking no aceoant .of the large amount of timber cut for pulp, tannic acid, tan-bark, poles, ties, etc., this annual consumption is probably twice as great as the amount being grown each year. Besides this large, .though legili mate drain upon our forest re sources.is the inexcusable annual loss' from carelessness and neg lect, a drain on the forest that can and should be stopped, and must be stopped if our valuable wood-using industries are to be perpetuated. The damage from forest fires last vear amounted to 10 per cent, of the gross income for ttH sale of stumpage, a loss which no business can stand very long. This damage is not a ques- tijp.of debate; every intelligent citizen recognizes and deprecates it.vThe only question is: Bow can at be stopped?. With the object of thoroughly discussing this question, and, if possible, formulating a forest policy for . the state, a Forestry Convention Jhas been called by the Noith Carolina Geological and Economic Survey to meet in Raleigh on Wednesday, February 1st. A very interesting program is - being ' arranged. Governor Kitchin will make the address of welcome, in which he will em phasize the need of forest pro tection in North Carolina. The ChiefForester of the U. S. For est Service. Prof. H. S. Graves, has been invited to address the Convention, and it is hoped that he will (be on hand,. One of the most interesting and instructive addresses will be that of Mr. Al fred(Gaskill, the State Forester of New Jersey. Mr. Gas kill has spent a great deal of time in North Carolina, and is very fa miliar with our conditions and the problems with which we have have to deal. Since going to New Jersey he has inaugurated and put into force probably the best system of state forest fire pro tection of which this couu try can boast His success in enforcing the laws and reducing the fire damage is phenomenal. Other well known men from all over the state, specialists in their va rious lines, are expected to ad dress the Convention. An interesting program has been arranged for the meeting. The Convention, which ) con venes under the auspices of the State; Geological and Economic Survey; will be held in the rooms of the Raleigh Chamber of Com merce, on Fayetteville Street, and will he called to order at 10:80 o'clock. A, M., sharp. All those interested in any way in the use and protection of our forests are cordially invited to attend this Convention. v.;"y ' For further information, ad dress the State Geologist, Chapel You will find Jar- bells Full Cream Cheese at the Farmers Supply y''X'k:;y- l$&$:&' Jetter. f Co None Bettt Farmers' Iostltures.

Interesting programs have been prepared for these meet ings. i A premium of one dollar will be given for the best loaf of bread baked and exhibited by a girl or woman living on the farm, and a premium of one dollar will be given for the best five ears of pure-bred corn. All farmers and their wives, sons and daughters, and all oth ers interested in farming and the betterment of the' farm homes, are urged to attend these meet-, ings and join in the discussions.
