Gasoline Price Maintained At Sixteen Cents In South Dakota
Gov. McMaster announced that South Dakota will keep gasoline at 16 cents per gallon for now after a conference with Standard Oil officials led by Col. Robert Stewart. Stewart offered to cut six and six tenths cents or keep the price at 16 cents, with the governor deciding to hold at 16 cents citing refiners offering gasoline at seven cents today. The governor accepted responsibility and criticized independents for profiting excessively before the war, stating no one should blame Standard Oil henceforth.

Acreage rises from 7,000 last year to 80,000 to 100,000 this year with 3,000,000 acres opened in subtropical districts and 200,000 more in another.
