GASOLINE AND SUBSTITUTE

The growing scarsity of gas
oline has caused h e users of
that artical considerable uneasii
ness and demand has sprung
up for some substitute which
will do the work and at less.
cost. The manufacturers E
plowing engines have urged on
their patrons to use low grade
distillates of the gasoline and
kerosene runs in .heir unrefin-
ed state. These products, m re
explosive than K 70 n e,
can be had at iuateria! saving.
in price over that of either re-.
fined oil or gasoline. The Gov
ernor, Attorney Genral and Oil
inspector had a conference last
week at which it " decided
that these distillates, unre6ued,
could be admitted to the state
for mechanical purposes only
The Cornplanter, Pure Oil, Cli-
max and Standard companies
have brought in oils of t h ese
classes and they are now being
tried out in blowing engines in
various parts of the state. 9th
er companies are arranging to
follow. If they prove the sue
cess anticipated by the farmers
they will materially lessen the
cost OF operating gasoline plow-
ing engines. The oilinspection
department does not put forth
the claim that they will take the
place of gasoline, users of such
goods taking their own chances.
In any event they will be tried
out in the next few weeks.
The percentage of refined Oil to
gasoline produced from crude
petroleum is about so to IS and
there is used in our state about
so per cent of each. 1t will thus
be seen that there is an owe
production of refined oil and a
growing scarcity of gasoline if
this percentage holds true in
other states. This would soon
put the price of gasoline above
its present high e and if
these low gra d e distillates
pro ,e a satisfac tory substitute.
it will be plainly seen that their
introduction would materially
benefit the general public and
particularly those farmers u.s.

is for ever kept inyiolate. Here
is land undoubtedly destined
by the Almighty to play a very
important part in the great
game of nations. What shall
we do? Just live for ourselves
that this land given to US at
such sacrifice shall be the
field for our own advancement!
Just live go that worse slav.
cry than that of the sixties
shall confront us? A slavery OF
the best things, a slavery Of
men and women, a slavery Ct
soul and spirit? Or shall it be
said, and truly said, that the
stars and stripes are floating
over the land of the free and
the home of the brave!
1t is not difficult to join with others in singing
"Your flag and my flag and oh how much i,
holds.
Your land and my land secure within its folds;
Your heart and my heart beat quicker at the
sight,
Sun-kissed and wind tossed the red and blue
and white;
The one flag, the great flag. the flag for me
and you
Glorified all else beside, the red and white
and blue"
But do we mean it. Are we
as a nation struggling for holi,
ness of heart and purity of pur.
pose? What does Minnesota
mean when she cooly sets on
one side the laws of God and
says that it is lawful to break
the Sabbath day. What does
Indiana mean when she estab.
fishes Minnesota's record :!
What d oes Pittsburg mean
when one of her largest cities

diately secures the ablest lawy.
ers and tries to prove. that it is
wrong to receive mony for blow
ing an organ, and playing an
organ and singing the praises
of God in the sanctuary opened
for public worship? Oh for
patriotism big enough to make
cur exultation mean something
more than the firing of crackers
and the murder OF thoughtless
children. Oh for patriotism
that is deeper than mere sen.
timent, a patriotism that is true
to the land for which the nobil.
ity of the sixties endangered
and gave their lives.

SAYS METHODS AT
SCHOOL ARE WRONG
Probation Officer Declares State
Must Provide Reforma-
tory for Adults

OAKLAND, March 27.-The case of
Eugene Griffin, an incorrigible boy who
was returned to the superior court of
this county from the Preston school
of industry at lone, and was later
sent to the George Junior republic on
10 years probation, has induced Pro-
baton officer Ruess to issue a state
in which he says:
Neither the state schools of indus
try nor the prisons nor the parole
system are above criticism, and prog
reSs can be made only by criticism.
But wholesale condemnation is not
fair, and it would be wrong for me or
any one by sweeping assertions to
blast the reputation which a school
like that at lone has built up.
superintendent Dunton at lone and
superintendent Randall before him
faced hard problems. Few men are
fitted at all to succeed in such diff
cult work. Mr.. Randall was recently
succeeded by superintendent Dunton,
and the public knows nothing of the
reason for the change. It is said that
Mr. Randall for eight years had kept
the trustees in the dark as to certain
of his methods, and that he was cruel
In his punishments.
THE new superintendent faces the
same hard problems that Mr.. Randall
faced, and proposes to send the worst
boys back to court to be sent to San
Quentin. He proposes to do this rather
than to continue cruel punishments.
For my part I would rather have a
boy of mine have his neck broken
and die at the school than to have
him sent to San Quentin. do not be-
lieve those two methods of treatment
are the only alternatives. 1t is for
the new superintendent to work out a
better method than his predecessor, but
surely not a worse method. California
needs an adult reformatory."

NINE PHEASANTS TIED
THEMSELVES INTO KNOT
One Suffocated; Tails Cut Off to
Free Others

A correspondent writes to the Field
describing a curious incident in con-
nection with the transport of pheasants.
''One of my keepers, he states. put
IL cock pheasants in poultry crate to
take them in o donkey cart from one
pleasantly to another, distance of
about three-quarters of mile, the time
occupied being about al uarter of an
hour. On arrival nine of the II were
found to have tied themselves together,
eight by the tails and one by the head,
the latter being suffocated. They were
SO tightly tied up and in such bad
tangle that it was necessary to cut off
their tails to free them.
Il have never heard of such an oc-
currence before, and can not imagine
how it happened. There was room in
the crate for several more birds, 30 In
all, at least"
