With so small a clearing it was, of course. . impossible to make a living from the sale of crops and so, aftercoming on the farm I continued to add to my income by working out.

I have had the first ii load off and been on my way home for an- t. other before -the arrival of the morning pas- ~|i senger train for Toronto. My regular task ii was two to three loads a day. Before I d bought my first oxen I sold 80 cords in if Craigvale at 81.20 per cord. and paid half an of this for the hauling.

The modern motor car has made a necessity of gasoline. Before the advent of the motor car, there was very lit- tle demand for gasoline. It was almost al- together a waste product. There was, it is true, a limited demand for it for certain manufacturing purposes, but the oil com- panies curtailed its production in their ef- fort to produce coal oil, whichiwas then in - demand. All this is-`changed. From being an un- desirable by product in the distillation of kerosene, it has become the most useful of the oil products. And the price has advanc- ed accordingly. There was a time not many years ago when gasoline -was cheaper than kerosene. During recent years it has ad- vanced until now it is selling at nearly double the price. And as suggested by the US. Senate committee the price is very likely to go much higher in the future. . ` While gasoline is increasing in price. the tendency of motor car `prices is toward a lower basis.
