JN0. T. STUBBLEFIELD
 ANNOUNCES FOR MARSHAL

We present to you today the name of Jno. T. Stubblefeld as a candidate for Marshal of the City of Prescott, subject to the action of the Democratic primary.
 Mr. Stubblefeld is just completing his first term as the city's peace off, cer and we believe that he has given general satisfaction to the citizens of Prescott. This position is a very hard one to fill and no matter who holds it if they discharge their duties they will not receive the approval of every one. One thing especially can be said of Mr. Stubblefield and that is that he has never failed to file his reports with the council and they have always been found to be absolutely correct.
 The office of Marshal of Prescott is a very important one and when you go to the polls to cast your vote you should support the man who has proven his efficiency and willingness to serve you. Mir. Stubblefield will apprecite your vote.

LOTTERIES COMMAND UNIQUE,
He Is the First Real General In Chief
 Since Napoieon's Time.

The decree nominating General Jof- ire commander in chief of all the French armies marks another step to- ward unity of direction among the al- lies. It constitutes for France a more real departure than at first sight is evident. Since the time of Napoleon the minister of war, in agreement with the head of the state, whether presi dent or emperor, has directed military operations through generals in chief, to whom the command of the various fronts was confided.
 General Joffre and not General Gal lieni will be henceforth In sole and supreme command of the French forces in all the theaters of war, in- cluding Greece, Servia and the Oar danelles.
 The measure is welcomed in Paris in the hope that it will contribute to a much needed coordination of the mili- tary efforts of the four entente powers.

What's In A Name?

What's in a name? What, for in
stance, may be the precise meaning
Of gasoline" the name which the mo-
torist gives to the stuff which makes
the wheels of his joy-wagon go round.
The answer, is that there isn't any
precise meaning for gasoline. IL
may mean most anything. It's like the
contents Of the 1andlady's sugar-bowl.
Yesterday it was fairly sweet; today
it is only half sand, but even the star
boarller doesn't know what it will be
tomorrow. All gasoline is not alike,
any more than all soap or all flour or
all coffee is alike. There are wide
variations in quality just as In every
other commodity in general use. Some
times gasoline is real fuel, with plenty
Of pep to start on and plenty OF KICK
on the road. Then the motorist is
happy-until the next time he has his
car filed, when he may get something
which is first cousin to kerosene. You
never can tell.
To eliminate this uncertainty about
motor fuel and to give the motorist
something to go by in his search Tor
reliable fuel, the Standard Oil Com
pany has given a new name to It's
gasoline products ocony Motor Gas
oline.' The motorist may well say
whats in name?" when the name
is just gasoline" But when in addi-
.tion you tack on the word "Socony''

the name means good deal. Gasoline
by any other name may smell as sweet
and look the same, but that's as far
as the resemblance goes, say the
Standard Oil people Socony Motor
Gasoline is always clean, always quick
starting, always reliable. "Just gas
may be and again it may not. The
name Socony is worth a good deal to
the motoriSt who wants to steer clear
Of fuel troubles.
One great trouble with the anony-
nous fuels, as the motorist sometimes
learns to his sorrow. is that they are
not homogeneous. They are not ali
alike, a mixture of different fuels differ
ing widely in gravity. The result is
that when the motorist fills his tank
with this mixture, the lighter fraction
comes to the top. and goes off first
the car running like a dream. Then
in another hour or two the motorist
begins to use the lower level and finds
himself running on something which is
pretty close to kerosene. CarDuretor ad-
justments are frequently necessary and
there is sometimes a considerable foul
ing of the cylinders. The gravity test,
however, is not conclusive in determin-
ing the quality Of gasoline What the
motorist is really concerned about is
low boiling point, or volatility. Many
Of the crudes which are row being used
furnish a better gasoline quality than
the crudes which were first used. Con-
sequently the gravity test no longer ap-
plies. The lower gravity gas is just as
VIOLA tile, and inasmuch as it contains
more heat units it is more powerful
there are more miles in gallon. In it's
recent advertising the Standard Oil Co.
has been educating the motorist on
these fundamental facts about gasoline
and also featuring the Socony Sign,
which is displayed by all garage and
supply stations carrying the Standard
product The Socony sign is now very
widely distributed throughout New
York and New England and serves as
a convenient reminder, enabling the
motorist to get reliable fuel wherever
he goes.-Adv.

Everyone who comes into the Jour
nal office from the surrounding cities

bers of American Flags to be seen

claim to have distributed all the flags,
on the other hand it is pleased to see
that the general campaign for a gen.
eral show Of patriotism has been heed
ed. The Journal is not so much con-
cerned as to where the flags are bought
as it is with the spread Of the idea
that they be used. It is healthy sign
