GASOLINE BUSINESS is EVERY
BODY'S BUSINESS

In times Of great prosperity, we're
much too apt to "let business alone"
even bad business.
Gasoline, however, has a way all
OF its own of interfering with a good
many kinds OF profits, big and little.
And nobody who uses gasoline, no.
body who pays to have bag of flour
or a new Easter bonnet sent home by
auto, nobody who has watched his
own gasoline bills double in the last
ten months is willing to let the gaso-
line business alone, now that the gov
eminent has started to investigate it.
Dealers are quick to give off-hand
excuses when you pay your astonish-
ingly big bills. You have undoubted-
ly been told that the increased use of
autos, motor boats. motor trucks,
farm tractors is responsible for an
enormous increase In the consump-
ton Of gasoline.
And then there's the war, the usual

DEPOT DOINGS.

Archibald NJ. Harrison, aged so
years, and an inmate OF the Soldiers
Home at Roseburg, was struck by
two engines on the track near Wilbur
last Wednesday evening. Harrison
was from Gold Hill and since his ad-
mission to the home ten days ago
had been under surveillance, being
suspected OF being mentally deranged.
He made no effort to avoid being
struck, according to Engineers Hums
and Bowers OF Roseburg, who were
at the throttes OF the engines which
hit him.
The freight wreck at Rice Hill last
Thursday morning delayed all OF tho
southbound trains. No. Is was made
up on this side OF the wreck. A hobo
was badly injured in the wreck, the
trainmen escaping with minor shake
ups. The wreck was caused by a
broken flange.

Editors Of Oregon
Will Visit Ashland

The State Editorial Association
has accepted the invitation OF the
southern Oregon newspaper men and
will hold their annual convention in
Medford during the first week in
August. This convention Is consid-
cred one of the most important Of
the year in Oregon and will be Of
great value in promoting the inter-
ests Of southern Oregon.
During the convention the state
editors will be brought to Ashland
and spend several hours in Lithia
Park and will also be taken over Sis
kiyou grade. The Ashland CONNER
cial Club has been asked by Ben
Sheldon, who has charge Of the ar
rangements, to lend their co-opera-
tion in furnishing entertainment. A
big effort will be made to make an
impression upon the newspapermen
upon the occasion OF their visit to
Ashland, which will send them back
to their papers with a new concep-
tion Of southern Oregon and Ash
land.
The convention comes as the re-
suit OF an effort started by Ben c.
Sheldon OF Medford nearly two years
ago. He visited the convention held
in Oregon City and sang the praises
of southern Oregon and Crater Lake
so strongly that he secured a quail
fled promise OF a visit to this section
by the newspapermen soon thereaf-
ter.
Mr.. Sheldon has been appointed
chairman of the committee to have
charge of entertaining the convention
with power to appoint his assistants.
The entertainment planned includes
a trip to Crater Lake and another to
the California line over the new Sis
kiyou grade, with a few hours stop
at Ashland; banquet one evening
at Medford, a luncheon and special
entertainment for the lady visitors.

handy excuse for an advance in the
price of anything. The United States
exported in 1914 over 100000
barrels of gasoline, and in 1915 over
6,5OO,OO0, or nearly five and six
times as much as was exported five
years ago.
Those who believe in letting busl-
ness alone" will probably pay their
bills without complaining, but the
persistent will find out that the mar
ket value of the stocks of the 3S oil
corporations has increased remark
ably In the last six months, while
profits and dividends have in same in
stances increased as much as 100 per
cent.
They will also learn that Is per
cent of the total production of crude
oil in 1914, about As, ,000,O barrels,
went into storage, and that there are
now 200, 100000 barrels of crude oil
in storage. About 21 per cent Of
this is gasoline.
Obviously, the relation of supply
and demand has not been such as to
boost the price of gasoline.
What-who-has raised the price?
The more interest the consumers
show in this question, the quicker the
government will find an answer
for it.

IMPROVE THE MIND.
(By Levi N. Eagon.l

(By Levi NJ. Eagon)
We should look at the bright side,
Make things pleasant as we can
In the home where we abide,
Strive to make this our plan.
We ought to enjoy our home
AS the days are passing by;
Don't be anxious to roam,
To better our condition we should
try.
OF good things we should partake,
And try to cultivate the mind;
All evil thoughts forsake,
Leave our troubles all behind.
Home is the most pleasant place to
rest
After a weary day of toll and
strife;
We should make our home the best
Make it a pleasant place for our
life.
| A place for US the news to read,
! That we may improve our time;
What we learn take heed
To make our lives sublime.
Home is the dearest place on earth
to dwell,
And we all should try
To make the present life excel
The days that have passed by.
We should do all in our power
To learn and improve our way,
Make use of every idle hour,
Make tomorrow better than today.
As we travel on through life
Make it the desire of our heart
To bear hardships without strife
And from all evil depart.
Our minds should be cultivated in
ded,
And try to make our neighbors our
friends;
Help them in time Of need,
On ourselves our goodness de-
pends.
We should respect those who around
US abide,
And make it our hearts content;
To be good to others We should de-
eide,
Try to make our lives well spent.
Learn to do good deeds with pleas
ure,
And our work with a will;
cultivate our minds when at leisure,
And the laws of God fulfill.
When all this we do we should be
glad,
And cast away all sorrow,
DO good and forsake the bad,
Neither any more troubles borrow.

The nervous system is the alarm system

In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health Is ebbing, when strength is declin-

alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
