Left Field OF Production.
THAT fact that nearly one-halft OF
the civilized world has left the field
work Of destruction has increased the
demand for all kinds Of products and
goods. We believe that prices will
be high for several years, especially
for manufactured goods.
1--WE believe that In some instances
production has been restricted by
trusts and monopolies.
1--WE further believe that while the
crops have been short, yet there In
plenty for all in this country and
some to sell. But at the same slime
economy should be pfacticed along
all lines.
Other Causes Enumersted.
"other causes might be enumerated
thus:
"The alarming increase of insect
and fungus pests.
Gambling In food products
which should be prohibited.
There should be more storage
houses In the country, and under the
control, of the farmers Themselves
"The duplication In delivery service
in the village. town, and city. also
the lack Of marketing facilities in
some towns and cities,

SUBSTITUTE
FOR GASOLINE
Sc 4 GALLON

A substitute for gasoline that
can be sold for &c a gallon and is
declared equal to the genuine in
energy and producing powers
has been discovered by two Pitt
burgh men. and government ex-
perts are now arranging for a
demonstration within a short
time.
The inventors are the Rev.
j. c. McKight and Guy Barber.
Several members of congress
have been advised of the inven-
ton and many say the substitute
appears to be as good as the
genuine.
THE tallow candle maker at
one time held US in his strong
grasp, and we extracted ourselves
with kerosene and when the oil
men controlled the price of the
fuel we burned in our lamps, we
again found liberty in the electric
light plant, and there is no good
reason why some good man should
not show us a way to get motor
spirits that will take the place of
high-priced gasoline.
The government paid on its
contracts which end June 80 elev-
en- cents a gallon and when it
asked for bids for another year
ending Juue 80, 1917, the refners
wanted forty cents. That is a
jump of nearly four hundred per
cent. While gasoline is worth the
price, and while it will sell at 81
a gallon, yet a substitute at &c
would be very welcome. 1t will
result in the sale of more cars, it
will add to motor machinery on
the farms, and joy riding will be
so cheap that all of US can indulge
in it.
