Oil Trade Notes OF INTEREST TO REFINERS AND MARKETERS Equity Co-operative A M oeia tt op oil stations in Phillips county made >6.474 last year, the annual report shows. Eric Anderson was re-elected president and Ernest Wekander was re-elected secretary-treasurer. Bernal Soutbwlck replaced William Dorn as vice president and Dorn was replaced on the board by Joe Rose of South-Wagner. The Equity association has paid $343,461 in dividends in 21 years. Elmer Hendrick is manager of the elevator and oil station. The oil industry Is waiting for a blow to fall on some refiner, as a result of allegations that 100,000 gallons of road oil used on 50 miles of western Mem tana highways was of Inferior quality. It is indicated that the oil was of paraffin base rather than asphaltic base and its use caused many accidents with the result that the roads must be rebuilt at a cost of $40,000.

It will save you money, too, especially If you have not been taking ad vantage of the depletion allowance. It tells you at a glance the— PRODUCTION DATA: The earnings by years are shown in one column so that the yield per annum and yield to date are Instantly available. In addition, detailed figures are shown In monthly earnings in tables providing room for records until 1948. In the monthly production column Is Included the gross earnings, the amount of taxes paid can be totaled at the bottom of each column. A space is provided for the item of depletion, which can be deducted in making Income tax returns. The Item of depletion is important in these days of heavy tax burdens. VALUE OF PROPERTY: Shows cost and amount It must yield, per acre, to pay out—which an investor may need quickly and which cannot be remembered over the years. RECORDING DATA: Includes name of person from whom royalty was purchased, name and address of operator; recording data from county records. DESCRIPTION OF TRACT AND ACREAGE: • A complete plat showing name of farm, county, field and legal descrip tion, township and range. DIVISION ORDER: "Gives name and address of buyer of the oil and date of the division order.

PAGE FIVE Sidelights of Industry While petroleum fuels and lubricants j keep military tanks and trucks on the job. an army of petroleum hydrocarbon compounds is being mobilized for the 1 less spectacular but none the less es sential work of furnishing other stra- j teglc industries with raw materials.

Paralleling the development of these , _ . _ .. . ; essential "by-products, the petroleum Industry is producing low-cost raw ma terials for plastics, the tough, synthetic substitutes for wood and metal, which overnight are finding new uses in the freeing of strategic materials for de tense and in the fabrication of the weapons and machines of war. } Manufacturers faced with a shortage in a vital raw material commandeered for army use are turning to plastic substltutes compounded from the oil refinery gasses, formerly used as fur- 0 nace fuel. Equally adapted to the needs of peace or war, plastics made with oil derivatives are easily molded and, machined and are comparatively light in weight. They find inîiumerable les because of their non-corrosive, non- : inflammable, rust and shock resistant qualities. They are non-conductlve to eiwtriritv y ' ; . ^ " vitally essential was the : result of chance findings in petroleum laboratories.
