SHORTAGE OF
GASOLINE LIKELY

That is one place where they have
gone a little too far" remarked some
one on reading the request of the
Council of National Defense that the
use of gasoline for pleasure riding be
discontinued That person didn't
think.
Despite the enormous production.
America will face a shortage of gaso'
line and crude oil products for the use
of our thousands of airplanes, battle
ships, torpedo boats, destroyers, etc.
II we are to compete with our enc
mics, it is necessary that these wal
machines be efficient in the highest
degree.
And there is another angle. The
more of the struggle that [ IN be borne
by iron and steel, the less must be
borne by the flesh of American boys,
Conservation of gasoline is necessary
to the use of machines of war. When
you burn a barrel of gasoline for your
own selfish pleasure, you are thrust
ing the lads Of your own community
Just that much closer to the mouths
OF Prussian cannon. Guard against
4 possible gasoline shortage by using
II carefully.

DEAD TWENTY MINUTES.
Fire Department Succeeds In Bringing
Youth Back to Life.


Brazil, Ind.-Roy Montgomery, ten
years old, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel
Montgomery, was brought back to life
after being apparently dead from
drowning for more than twenty min
utes by the use Of a lung motor op-
Grated by the city fire department and
the first aid methods Of two men and
boy In the neighborhood.
The boy, in company with two other
lads of his own age, had gone to an
abandoned clay pit, which was filed
with water. None Of the boys could
swim, and when the Montgomery boy
got into deep water he arose to the sur
face three times, and then the body set
tied on the bottom. The other boys
could not rescue him, so they ran a
quarter of mile to town and brought
Robert Fisher, fifteen-year-old boy,
who dived to the bottom Of the pool and
seized the body.
The fire department was called I'M
mediately, and after twenty minutes he
began to cry.

rollment of womeh for food conserVa.

of defense, working primarily through
state divisions of the Woman's Commit
tee Oh the Council of National Defense
and which was terminated on Septem
Der 5. The first campaign was as sue
cessful as the circumstances allowed
but a large number of women were
not touched thereby. 1t is important
that these women shall be pledged;
therefore, the cleanup" campaign
will be undertaken by the Federal
Food Commissioners on October IA.

OLD FRIENDS RETURN
TO BRAVE DOGS GRAVE
Canine Gained Fame Among the Pow
der Workers q Score Of Years Ago.

San Franclsco.-After an absence Of
nearly sixteen years, during which he
lived adventures In all parts of the
earth, Jack Nearing, an old time resi-
dent, returned and visited the grave Of
Bob Evans, a dog that gained fame
among the powder workers of Pinole a
score of years ago. Nearing was at
that time a powder worker at Pinole.
Bob Evans was a Scotch collie,
which the powder works of that time
declared was the bravest dog In the
world. He was born In Pinole on the
day that Dewey made his famous en-
trance into Manila harbor. Bob prov
ed himself to be a fighter and was
named in honor of a great naval hero Of
that time He was q victim of six
powder explosions, but never received a
worse injury than singed coat. One
day he was run over by a train, and
the workers at the powder mills gather
ed collection of 500 for his funeral.
Ever since then, when one of the
boys Of those bygone days comes to this
city, he visits the grave of Bob Evans
and decorates it with tokens Of sym
patty for the brave and faithful play
fellow who met his death sixteen years
ago.
Nearing has not been in this city for
eight years until he made his pilgrim
age to the shrine of his memories. He
left here In 1901 for the Boer war and
after peace was declared went to Los
Angeles, where he is railroad man.

Co.onerative Deliveries,

Retailers in many cities are follow
ing the requests of the federal author
tiles in establishing cooperative de-
livery services. The purpose of the
change is to release for other work
the several thousand men in the coun'
try who are now duplicating each
others efforts in delivering goods.
Housewives are asked to cooperate
in every way possible with the move
ment. Cooperative delivery through
out the country will mean that, in this
state alone. several score of men will
be released for service elsewhere, the
merchant will be spared a needlessly
large expense, and ultimately the con.
sumner will pay little less for the
goods.
The purchaser should carry small
packages home.

KEEPING DOWN
WASTE IN AMERICA
Women May Prove Deciding
Factor in Present Battle of
Flows and Kitchens.

Since the American housewife has
been given the great responsibility Of
reducing the kitchen waste, she is
becoming true patriot when she
makes the best use of everything
which comes into the home. To be
extravagant in the kitchen is one of
the ways OF being unloyal to the flag.
Someone has said that the great world
war has resolved itself into battle
of plows and kitchens, and the women
may prove the deciding factor in the
conflict.
Farmers are asked to produce more
wheat and other food, and with a
larger yield of these foodstuffs, the
homemaker can do her part in max
Ing the bread bullets" to be used to
feed the nations. The food producers
and the women who conserve the
products can work hand In hand
What is Cons ervation of Food?
1t is making what we have or can pro
duce, go as far as possible in feeding
the multitudes. Conservation does
not mean simply to avoid waste and
extravaganza in buying foods, but to
make the money allowed for food
reach as far as it is within our power
Before this movement began, house
keepers have had a desire to buy the
household necessities cheaper, and
much study has been given to food
production and conservation, thus
making it easier to meet the demands
now made upon us.
Many say: We have always been
saving and no food is ever found in
our garbage pail" Perhaps we have
been saving in this way, but what
about the extravaganza in cooking
with too much heat, throwing away
vegetable and fruit parings when they
can be eaten, and throwing the water
and the minerals it contains from
cooked vegetables down the kitchen
sink2 What about buying some of the
expensive foodstuffs when cheaper
ones have more nutritive value?

Eighteen thousand boys and girls
In Oklahoma, members of boys and
girls clubs, will serve their country
and reap a profit for themselves at
the same time by saving garden seed.
Federal and state agricultural author
tiles are asking for concerted action
by club boys and girls in the preserv'
ing Of field and garden seeds of all
kinds. Besides gathering enough beet
and lettuce and radish and mustard
and tomato and other kinds of seed
for home use, each is asked to have
some for others who cannot save. II

good garden seed next spring.

WAR LETTER DELIVERED.
Entrusted by Prisoner to comrads Flfty
Years Aqo.


Years Ago.
Atlanta. Ga.-After a lapse OF more
than fifty years Comptroller General
william A. Wright has received letter
which was written to him when he was
a prisoner of war in 1854.
General Wright, then a lieutenant
was in prison at Johnson's island, ",
with Colonel Clairburn Snead OF the
Third Georgia. General Wright was
transferred from Johnson's island to
Point Lookout, Md, from where he was
to be exchanged back into the Confed-
eracy. The boat on which he was TO
have left Point Lookout, however, was
crowded, and he was left at Point Look
out. From there he wrote letter to
his comrade, Colonel Snead.
In answering this letter Colonel Snead
intrusted the letter to Captain Beal,
who is now eighty-two years old and
living in Putnam, Ca, who was at that
time being transferred from Johnson's
island to Point Lookout. Before Cap
tain Beal arrived at the latter place,
however, General Wright had been ex-
changed and Captain Beal did not see
him to deliver the letter.
Several days ago Captain Beal was
going through some papers and found
the letter, which has now been duly
delivered

Red Cross Efficiency.

There is misunderstanding in some
localities as to how much of the Red
Cross funds collected is actually used
for relief work, and how much is used
to pay the expense of collecting. etc.
Some misinformed person made the
statement that only half of the funds
really reached the front
The cost of collecting the recent
vast war fund was less than one per.
cent. When one donates so to the
Red Cross, he can be assured that at
least $3.50 of the amount will remain
for the purchase of ambulance wagons,
bandages, medicine and other relief
materials, after all collecting expenses
are paid.

at the celebration were several auto
mobile loads of Nebraska and Okla

were a part of the Iowa Sac and Fox

sprang.
The Indians drove good cars and left
over the La Crosse, Tama and Kansas

as Ready to Go Abroad.
San Antonio, Texan organization
of women in Texas and Oklahoma has
been quietly formed and offered to the
government as regiment to go to
France and if necessary to fight in the

soldiers in the regular army, national
guard and of men who are entering
the national army. They enroll their
membership to train and enter the
army either as a fighting unit, 1900
strong, or for such other service as the
war department may designate.
Believing the war department would
not accept them as a military organi-
cation similar to the Battalion of
Death of Russian women, they are
taking the places of the men soldiers
on guard duty, patrol and scout work
and other service for which women are
especially fitted.
