Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Reports that the shortage on one cent pieces had caused clearing houses in several eastern and middle western cities to determine to issue paper script to be circulated locally instead of pennies, reached the treasury today and were met by an immediate effort to ship more small coins eastward from the Denver and San Francisco hints. Five million one cent pieces were on their way to Chicago to relieve the shortage in the middle west and the movement of small coins will continue through December to accommodate holiday shopping demands in eastern cities.
 Within the six weeks ending Novem- Der fifteenth 62,600000 new pennies and 15,000,000 new nickles were put into circulation by the treasury. The persistent shortage of these coins, even making allowances for the heavy de- mand for cents caused by war taxes, has caused officials to suspect that a number of retail merchants are hoard ingS Schange" for the holiday rush.

 East of the Asiago plateau the Ital- ians are keeping up their offensive against the invaders and have taken more than three hundred prisoners and a number of machine guns and several hundred rifles.

What Is Good Gasoline?

In an article dealing with the Bureau of Mines tenta- tive gasoline specifications, Oildom for March 1917 says, '1n these specifications gra- vity is omitted entirely as a basis for test, volatility be- ing the basic property for determining the grade and usefulness of gasoline.
 Volatility is just another term for boiling points, said MT. J. E. Balsley, district sales manager Standard Oil Compay, in discussing these proposed specifications.
 "Motor fuel efficiency de- bends on the boiling points or volatility of the gasoline, just as the Bureau of Mines indicates. These boiling points must be in a continu- ous chain, an unbroken, gra- dually rising series low boil ing points for quick and smooth acceleration, high boiling points for power and mileage.
 Needless to say, gaso- line having this correct series of boiling points cannot be made by mixing or blending. There are too many interme- diate points to be provided to make the unbroken chain. On the other hand, in straight refinery gasoline, the continuous chain of boil ing points is developed natur- ally during distillation.

Loco Poisoning

Replying to a letter from a rancher in Lompoc, Ari- zona, MT. w. s. Cunning ham, assistant animal hus- bandman, agricultural ex- pertinent station, University of Arizona, writes as follows:
 "Loco poisoning is very difficult to treat if the ami nal has been eating the weed for a long time. The first thing to do, of course, is to putthe horse where it cannot obtain any of the loco weed and where it has plenty of shade and can be kept quiet. The only treatment that seems to help is to keep the bowels open through the use of laxative feed, or if there is any constipation present it can be drenched with a pint and a half of raw lin seed oil. Give once a dayI one-half ounce of Fowler's solution of arsenic on the feed. It is best to sprinkle this medicine over some ground feed such as bran or rolled barley. A tablespoon full is about one-half an ounce. It is important that the animal should be well | fed with nourishing food"

Town Factions

Perpaps no other one fac tor yields so great an in- fluence in retarding the growth and prospesity of a town as factionalism. It spreads itself as a pail over the community life, and un- der it's malign influence all progress wits like a pear tree under the blight. No amount of energy and public spiritedness is sufficient to survive it's depressing effects.
 Take the average town torn by factionalism. A measure of public improve ment is proposed. It comes from one of the two factions. It really has merit and would be beneficial to the town. Does it meet with approval? Yes fromthat side of the house. From the other side, bitter opposition. Why? No mortal man can tell, except that it emanted from "the other side"
 There you have the meat in the cocoanut. "The other side" stands for everything that is undesirable and vii cious.
 And the pity of it is that all useless and fruitful of no good results to either side.
 United effort would inva- riably accomplish for both what divided wrangling ac- complishes for neither.
 There is a word of truth in the old emblem of the bundle of sticks, bound to- gether, which no man could break, but which, taken se- parately, a child could destroy.
 No factional fight in a community ever yet resulted in complete victory for either side.
 Many communities have had the sagacity to recog- nize this fact and, while there have always been and will always be difference, have had the good sense to endeavor to harmonize and work together for the com mon interest.
 When we see a community torn by factions, we feel like reminding it of the old fable of the cats and the monkey the cats found the cheese, but the monkey ate it at last. -Kingman M in eral l Wealth.
