Over 70 p e r cent o f all Ohioans use natural gas for light, heat and cook- . tog.,-Many towns will have to return t o coal for heating, and coal gas or kerosene for lighting. The Distributors Agree, Each o f the great distributors of natural gas has warned Its consumers that the pools are giving out; each has through .the newspapers plead with- its customers to stop wasteful methods h\ the ‘ use of gas, and the Ill-informed have said- “ This is a trick to get a boost' in price.” The flow has declined in all Helds. , A country ca n ,reproduce a forest for a supply of timber hut to get a new supply of natural gas it will be necessary'to create a new earth, and then tap it. Martin B. Daly, president of the East Ohio Gas Company, which sup­ plies all of northeastern Ohio, in a letter to the mayor o f Cleveland, in -191?,’ said: “We now- express ;the Opinion that we have probably deliv­ ered the maximum amount of- gas to Gleve1and‘ which we will ever be able , to deliver. Any relief from > the coni ' dltions o t iast winter must therefore be.had through auxiliary appliances fo r the use o f coal or other fuel be­ tween Nov. 1 and M a rch 'll' ' - In--June o f this year Mr. Daly* in a Printed interview, told hi* customers: Actual distress will exist next wtater unless fu«i I* obtained now. In addition to ordering coal, aux­ iliary appliances should be provided and combination furnace* installed b y householdera.” “If families with coat In thejr cel­ lars, will use it wilfe each big drop in the temperature, the supply may be sufficient throughout the winter to supply others in less fortunate ctr- cumBtancea.’V '* . A City Cut Off, The East Ohio, Gas Company gave notice that It would discontinue sup­ ply to the Alliance Gas and- JPower Company when its -contract expires on Qct, 30, When th* city solicitor o f ‘ appeared before the public utilities commission to resist the shutting off of ga*, the attorney for the East Ohio Gas Company declared its purpose to give an adequate sup­ ply to a limited number pf customers rather than an Inadequate supply to all customers. ' ' ' The Ifpgan Natural Gas Company, which supplies thB’ largest number of Ohio cities, has given notice to the city of Sandusky, that it can give no assurance of gas during the coming winter -and that it shall furnish none after. Its contract expires next'July. Substituting Coal Gas,. The, Union Gas. and Electric Com­ pany of Cincinnati found it necessary to build a coal (producer) gas plant with a- capacity of 15,000,000 feet a day to supplement the .supply of natural gas. , . . . ' The Medina Natural Gas Company, which supplies a string of cities and towns' clear across the center of Ohio, has given odd but conclusive evidence that i t wishes to reduce the consumption - o f the commodity it sells by Inverting Its rates. Instead of reducing the price 'to large users it* makes them 50 cento for 25,000, 60 cents for the next 5,000 and 70 ents for. all over 30,000.

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—GaaesU St: From Bethel, Jacob went to Fadan- oram to bis mother’* people, Mere he served Laban for twenty year*—four­ teen year* for hi* wives and six year* for certain wages. In his dealings with Laban he finds hi* match-—two schemers get -together—“ diamond cuts diamond.” I. Jacob Departs for’ Canaan (31: 31-21)., The time had come for Jacob to go back to his kindred In the Innd o f Canaan, The Lord instructed h im 'so to do (V -13). Though going forward under the direction o f God,'Ms Jacob- nature caused him to take clandestine leave o f Laban. When Laban realized the situation he .went in hot pursuit, but God appeared unto him in a dream and warned Mm against any act o f vi­ olence toward Jacob. They formed a compact and Laban returned home. II. Jacob on the Way (chapter 32.) Laban's return freed Jacob from the enemy who was pursuing him from behind, but he faced a more formida­ ble on.e in the person o f Esau. 1. Jacob meeting the angels (v. 1),' Two camps of angels met him to give him the assurance that God would be with him according to his" promise. Notwithstanding this, he continued to scheme. He sqnt a, deputation with a message of good cheer tp'Ksau, 2. Jadob praying (w , 9-12), Esau made no reply to Jacob’s mes­ sage, but went forward with -an army o f men, four hundred strong, to meet Jacob. Jacob Is In great distress,, therefore he casts himself upon God in prayer. This is a fine specimen o f effectual prayer. It Is short, direct, and earnest. (1) He reminds God o f Ms command, issued for Ms return, and also o f the covenant' promise (31:3). Surely God would not issue a command and then leave him in such a strait. (2) Plead* God’s promise as to *Ms personal safety (v. 9, cf. Genesis 28:13-15, 31-33). In onr pray­ ing we should definitely plead God’s promises In his word, on the ground o f covenant. relationship In, Christ. (8) Confesses unwortMness <v, 10). Jn this he shows the proper spirit of humility.. (4) Presents definite peti­ tion* (v. 11), ‘ He lays before the Lord the definite request to be delivered from the wrath o f Esau. 3., The angel o f Jehovah wrestling with Jacob ,(32:24*32). in God's school o f discipline, Ja^ cob is making'some improvement, but still he Is under the sway o f self- will and self-trust.' Though he had Mid the matter definitely before the Lord,, he thought that Ms scheming would tender God some assistance. Accordingly, he sent presents ahead to appease tbe anger o f Esau. WMle Journeying along, a man met Mm and Wrestled with Mm, butJacob knew not who he wag. Perhaps he thought that Easu' hnd pounced upon .Mm in 'th e dark. He exerted every ounce of strength in what he thought was the struggle for Ms very life. The morn­ ing was approaching, and still the wrestlers continued, Jacob not know­ ing It was Jehovah manifest In hu­ man form. This Is the second, crisis In Jacob's life. He did not dare to enter the promised land under the con­ trol o f Ms self-sufficiency; his selfish will must he broken; Ms Jacob-hatnre .must be changed. God humbled him by dislocating Ms thigh, 'When thus humbled, he quit wrestling and clung to God. He got the blessing when he, conscious o f his weakness. laid hold Of God. , 4, Jacob gets a new name (v. 28). He was no longer Jacob, the sup- planter; but Israel, a prince o f God, His new name was given Mm after he had a new nature. He came face to face with God, and face to face with himself, and fought the battle to a finish. WU must have the new na­ ture before we can enter the place o f blessing. Jacob came to realize that lie had been struggling with God, for he called the place “Penlel” which means “face to face with God.” III. Jacob Meets Esau (33:M1). God,had evidently wrought with Esau, for when Jacob approached Mm the sting o f bitterness was gone. It was not Jacob’s scheming that re­ moved Esau’s anger, but the action of the Supernatural upon Ms heart. At Jabbok Jacob got right with God, so when he met Esau it was an easy matter to get right with him. When we are right with God it Is ah easy matter to get right with our brother. Id This Life, We hear much o f love to God. Christ spoke much o f love to man, We make a great deal o f peace with heaven, Christ made much o f peace on earth. Beilgion is not a strange or added thing, but the inspiration o f the secu­ lar life, the breathing o f an eternal Spirit through this temporal world. Man and HI* Faith.

Tay­ lor* NATURALGASIN GOV’T’SC0NTR01 DlrjctorWprsFlisISUtHiMit pf fits Measure Which Wil Be Enforced. CONSUMERS WASTE A SIXTH Public’'Should Be Taught to Says Natural Gas—Coal Gas Costs Three Times as Much—Adequate Price Wou.ld Leteen Waste. Washington, Nov, 16,—The recently appointed director o f the Bureau of Gas Conservation, Mjr. Samuel S, Wyer, in an address to the represen­ tative* of municipalities and the. gas manager* of the ;mid-continent field,- told them that they were about to be put under licenses; that any one who 1did. not stop the wasting of ga* .would lose hi* license to handle it. The part* of bis statement of the attitude of the government of inter­ est tp .the consumer follow: Unless arrangements are' made whereby -needless waste is stopped, the time Is not far distant until at’ .least the BmaUer distributing plants wilt be left with nothing hut- an emp­ ty or-gasleBB distributing plant.. As a practical proposition that goes ’ to the ‘ very root of the whole con­ servation question, I made the state­ ment this morning -and this after­ noon and will repeat i t ' now that you can never have conservation of natural gas untii you have an ade­ quate price, •' Whether or not this Is desirable, it is simply a cold-blooded engineering and economic fact, and ho amount of juggling will, ever change it Twice as Hot at a Third, the Cost. We believe, as a matter' of public education, that, it is our duty to teach the public what natural gas 1* worth, and that it is our duty to teach the public as to what they will have to pay for substitutes tor it when it is gone,’ And when we speak, about natural gas being gone, we are not talking about, anything that IS vague or visionary, tor something far,, re­ mote. We have a very practical case in Richmond, Ind., where they are now paying ’ 35 cents for natural gas.', They will have, to -go -on manu> factored gas about October. For- that they will pay 51.35 for half of the heating value of their 35-cent natural gas. » In other words, it is equivalent in that place, So far as the public Is concerned, to Jumping the price to the public from 17% cents to $1,35, It is a 'fact that the public must rec­ ognize, ‘that what they are wasting is. a priceless resource, a resource that has never been duplicated, and I don’t believe it ever, will be, by any made product. We expect through 'publicity to show the public how the ordinary,,do­ mestic consumer Can eliminate a large waste on Ms own premises. Fqr instance, wS-have made a scries of tests that indicate so far at we have gone.that, as a general proposition, bne-sixth of all the natural gas that passes through domestic Consumers’ meters Is never burned, but is sim­ ply wasted through leaky fixtures, leaking cocks,, leaking nippleir, leak­ ing collars, elbow pipes and pin holes. Th* Ohio Consumer. The only way you can make tbs producer eliminate' the waste is to make the gas he 1*: wasting worth saving. In the cate o f the oil well waste of gas, you have got to make worth More t h a h t h e o l l . That, of. course, will have the inevitable effect o f increasing, the cost all along the line, For that reason I made the statement right’ at the very beginning that while we as a bureau will try to keep out o f the rate making phase, I am personally convinced you will have to adjust your rate situation in order to live and make conservation possible. The two go together. SAMUEL S. WYER, Chief of Bureaii Of Gas Conservation. eSNw* n * wc TOMBSTONE FOR A GA8 WELL Reiqufescat In Pace. The expert of the public utilities commission who surveyed the natural gas field puts the life of** gas well at three years, eleven months and twelve day*.' This is a fitting in­ scription for the tomb of a dead well. The gas fields which have been discovered are nearing exhaustion. That of Findlay is long dead; that of NeWark Would not be worth attention were it not connected with the old mains; the yields from th* Ashland, Richland snd Medina fields are fail­ ing rapidly and every Logan Natural Gas Company Is drawing largely from West Virginia. The shallow pools in Cuyahoga and Lorain counties hare failed altogether. To Avoid Waste of Gee* Washington, Nov. i*.—-School chil­ dren in the natural gas producing territory o f Ohio and Kentucky are to be given instruction under the auspices o f the Federal Fuef Admin­ istration in avoiding waste o f natural gas. The iustruiction In these two states commenced this month, end will be extended to ell schools' in natural gas regions.
