The scarcity of coal has
brought about a more extensive
use of kerosene. The oil stove
has come into greater use as a
means of heating as well as for
cooking, and it is said that the
supply of oil is ample and well
distributed. This is of especial
interest in the congested sections
of the large cities where the
apartment houses have had to run
on a half ration of coal. When
we read of the difficulties of our
eastern neighbors in getting
sugar and coal, we feel that the
people Of Missoula should thank
their stars each morning that
they live under war conditions so
favorable to their personal COM
fort.

A CALL TO FARMERS.

We give our heartieSt indorsc.
ment to the appeal of the fedora
flood administrator of Montana t.
1.-THE farmers for an increase in the
lsugar beet acreage for the coming
year. Professor Atkinson says
truly that it becomes the patriotic
lduty of every farmer to grow
sugar beets. The appeal can be
Imade to no other source and the
Farmers of the country are the
only ones who can save the sugar
situation next year.
1t is generally known that the
worlds shortage is threatened,
because the war has thrown the
burden of supply on America. The
Cuban and Hawaiian crops help,
but unless the growers of the
United States do their full duty,
there will be a sad weakening of
vitality next year, where strength
| is most needed.
We residents Of western Mon
tana have a big and important
field of action right at our doors.
The government is looking to the
farmers of this district to help
win The war, just as surely as it
is looking to the sons sent by the
farmers to France. Certainly, our
farmers mean to feed the fighting
American Soldiers as well as our
|allics and they can do more by
raising sugar bcets than in firing
bullets over the trenches.
This is a matter, too, in which
the chambers Of commerce of the
various Montana cities and the
civic and patriotic organizations
must be active. The situation
should be canvassed early so that
no time will be lost in planning.
The Great Western Sugar COM
pany has offered to the farmers
contracts far more attractive than
ever before. This plant belongs
not to Mssoula alone, but to all
western Montana, since it is a
part of a new industry from
which great and beneficial re-
suits are expected, results that
will create values beyond con-
fines of this country. The sugar
company is Differed by men of
highest efficiency who have made
good all their promises. They,
too, are giving Loyalty to the gov
eminent and certainly should re
eeive the support of all of our
citizens. 1t is certainly obliga-
tory on our farmers to raise the
largest crop Of sugar bccts next
year possible, each to his limit of
ability, and if there are sacrifices
involved, then it becomes the
duty of every farmer to sacrifice,
although we do not anticipate
that will be necessary in this in
dustry. The raising Of sugar bcets
is to become very profitable in
dustry for the growers in this
state.
We hope that there will be a
prompt, generous and loyal re-
Spouse to Professor Atkinson's
appeal.

A determined effort to complete
the swimming pool fund will be
made very soon. 1t should not
prove a difficult job. The amount
needed is comparatively small,
but it should be raised so that the
pool may be ready for our young
sters at the beginning of summer.
This is strictly a Missoula task
and in line with war work, since
the pool is intended as training
quarters, where we may keep our
bodies and brains fit for strenu-
Gus times. A pull together and
the work will be finished.

Secs Danger in

ut strikes me that a better plan
ought to be worked out for street car
waits on the university line" said w.
w. Berry the other day. AT present
northbound cars wait at Higgins ave-
nue. and Fifth street, on the south side
Of the crossing, and sOuthbound cars
at Higgins and Fourth on the north
side Of the crossing. They cut off all
view of traffic and may some day
cause a serious accident.
"The cars are held there with the
doors closed. which permits autouo-
biles to pass. But passengers take tho
cars at these points and since they can
not be seen by approaching automo-
biles, the danger il constant. There

tain characteristic properties The

properties Of straight refinery gaso-
lines are widely variable in quantity.
They depend entirely or practically
on the method used In refining gaso-

from the point of internal combustion

methods used vary somewhat, but IN
general they are similar and furnish

tiInRted that during the present year
the military activities will require at
least one-fifth OF the production and
that this is bound to have some effect

Inc is likely to have higher volatility
and for that reason the home market
will probably have to make up the
