THE PRICE OF GASOLINE
Is STEADILY CLIMBING

The price of gasoline is expected
to climb to 40 cents by June. Be
fore the war is over it may be so
cents.
Nor is the consumer allowed to
hope for any relief from increased
production. According to the Oil,
Paint and Drug Reporter:
1.-THE domestic consumption of
motor fuel within the last year is
credited with an increase of at least
25 per cent, on which the advance
in prices is chiefly justified by the
refiners, since they claim the gain
in consumption is well in excess of
the growth in production, even with
the aid of new distillation processes.
1.-THE export trade is also cited as
bullish factor.''
Why not cite it as the main fac
tor?
Is 1t denied that the European
nraket, VITA its present extortionate
price scales, is what mainly boosts
the cost of gasoline for the Ameri-
can consumer The same thing has
happened in the case of metals,
chemicals and other materials for
which the buyer in this country is
expected to compete with the fever
ish demand of Europe.
Oil interests in the United States
complain that there are not ships
enough to carry gasoline they would
like to send abroad. But they COM
pensate themselves by getting war
prices for 1t at home.-[New York

FOUND HANGING AND
SHOT THROUGH HEART

Henderson, KY, March 16.-The
body of James Oliver was found
hanging to the limb of tree near
South Mills, in this county. There
was a bullet hole through his heart,
and his clothes wee rarity burned
off.
oliver had been married only
about three weeks. He left his home
near Alley with a rope, telling his
friends that he was going to take
his life.
This statement was not believed
until he failed to return home. Be
fore a search could be started his
body was found by Mr.. Smith hang
ing twenty feet from the ground in
gum tree on the Mt. Vernon road.
It is thought that he climbed the
tree, removed his jacket, and after
tying the rope around his neck fired
the bullet into his heart, which kill
ed him instantly. AS he fired his
body dropped from the limb and the
fire from the revolver set fire to his
shirt, burning all the clothes from
his body with the exception of his
high-top shoes. His body was badly
burned
He at one time attempted to COM
NIT suicide, his friends say, by
hanging himself with a pair of sus-
penders while confined in the Hen.

KEEP YOUR TOWN ALIVE
1T MEANS MUCH no YOU

A town is very much like an indi-
vidual. To be fiourishing 1t must
have energy and enterprise. The
people in a town should remember
that the individual prosperity de-
Ponds to a large extent upon the
character Of the place in which their
business is located. Every public
measure should be literally support
ed by all, especially the business
men. At the present day there is
as much competition between towns
as there is among persons and bust
ness enterprises. A man seeking a
location will invariably select town
that is up to the times. and is ca
berly in favor of every modern i'm
provement. A town in these mod
ern times can't afford to be peopled

Orchard last May. James Maret, of
Mt. Vernon, KY, is the president OF
the Boone Way Association, and to
him goes the honor of being its
founder. He proposes, during 1916,
to route the Boone way southeast
from Cumberland Gap to Rockville,
N. c., the old home of Daniel Boone,
who left that point on his memoir
able march in 1875 for Kentucky,
acting as a guide for the Henderson
Company, to establish a settlement,
which became known as Boonesboro.
II is reasonable to expect that the
year 1916 will see the completion of
the eastern and western loops of the
Dixie Highway and western loop of
the Jackson Highway, practically
through the entire State of Ken
lucky. Much of the contemplated
improvement will be brought about
through the State aid fund, these
highways being designated largely
as part Oh the lnJer-COuHly seat
highway system.
Ten years ago, when the good
roads movement was just beginning
to enlist public support, aprroxi-
mately s79,OOO,O0O was expended
by States, counties. towns and dis
tricts in the United States in Eur
thering the cause of improved Ugh
ways. Through the awakened ap-
probation of the advantages of good
roads since that time the amount
has jumped to $685. 100000 for the
last year. This includes the S4,-
623,S00 which, in round numbers,
was spent in improving the Lincoln
Highway. The Lincoln Highway is
1889 miles long, while the United
States has, as a whole 100000
miles of public roads, including the |
Highway.

100000 PERSONS WENT
TO EUROPE LAST YEAR

Washington, March 17.-Despite
the perils of submarine warfare
100000 persons crossed the Allan
tic between American and European
ports as passengers last year. Fig
ures assembled here in the Bureau
Of Navigation show that 100000 of
them Travelled on vessels owned by
the belligerents.
Slightly more than half the At
lantic travellers were eastbound and
Italian ships carried more than YES

900 of the passengers travelled first

thousand went in the steerage.

Mr.. Greenwood heard the shooting
and told his wife that since the Mex

thing he could do would be to put
her in an automobile and rush for
aid. He left and notified a ranch
house, but the wires were down, and
he went on into Deming. In less

For the Republican Party
At Chicago.
NOTED Newspapers OPINION
Field Will Be Open For Ozark
HOrses"-Pr0spects Are
Very PuzzIing.
NO CANDIDATE Is NOW CERTAIN

Few can remember when dele
gates were chosen to national con-
ventions more blindly, SO far as
Presidential candidates are concern
ed, than in the case Of the Republic
ans in the present year. OF the pri-
mary campaigns which we're SO i'm
portant in the spring of 1912 there
are scarcely any in progress which
arouse popular interest. Here in
Massachusetts preparations are be-
ing made for contest between
Roosevelt and anti-RooseveIt men,
but the State has still some way to
go before becoming highly excited.
In the West where primaries for the
election of delegates are to be held,
the opportunities of the "favorite
sons seem excellent, and organiza-
ton Republicans should have no Sc
rious difficulty in many States in
choosing delegations to their liking.
Mr.. Roosevelt has again refused,
through his private secretary, to
permit his name to be used on a
primary ballot-we refer to Illinois
and this attitude must virtually
keep him out of every contest where
the candidates consent is required
if he is to be in the official running.
The Republican National Conven-
ton will be a gathering of delegates
in no real sense harmonizing in con-
stitution with the pure democratic
of the peoples rule, of
which so much was heard in 1912.
1t seemed at that time that the last
delegate convention of the old style
for nominating a Presidential ticket
had been held in his country Boss
ism was so sternly and bitterly re-
buked by the 100000 voters who
supported Mr.. Roosevelt's independ-
ent candidacy that not another con-
vention whose delegates did not
have definite instructions from the
people seemed possible of realiza-
ton. Still less possible seemed
Roosevelt four years later who un-
der any circumstances could accept
a Republican Presidential nomina-
ton from a convention which was
simply a convocation of leading pol
iticians selected to deliberate on the
best way to win an election.
Yet there is no other practical
course to follow. Conditions are
such that the old party marchinery
must be used. 1t is to-day impossi-
BILE for the more far-sighted leaders
to pick the Republican candidate
best adapted to the political require
ments of next summer and fall. To
to say who would be the
most available Republican candidate
Is hopeless. One knows that Mr..
Root would probably heed a sum-
mons from the convention to lead
the Republican party, but no one
can venture to say that summons
TO him would be wise, or in the least |
degree expedient. The same is true
Of Mr.. Roosevelt, assuming that he |
would answer favorably a virtually |
unanimous call. The Hughes prob
em is unchanged and may remain
so for several months. The clark
may find comfort in the fact
hat the field. under these condi-
ions, remains open to them
