Honey for pancakes in the lumber
camps of the Won Platen company this
winter" is the announcement made
by supt. Fox OF the Won Platen COM
pany
That announcement causes rs TO
think back some 30 odd years ago
when, as young lad we came 10 the
lumber woods OF northern Michigan
and took a position as bookkeeper at
a saw mill near Watersmeet twas
in the days when saw mills worked l.
hours per day, and the least OF the
mill owners troubles was the welfare
OF their employees. II happened that
the boarding house ran out OF butter
and remained out. whether from de-
sign or just plain carelessness, we
have forgotten. Anyway the season
OF no butter was prolonged until one
morning the mill hands refused to &C
10 work, and II became our duty TO
inform Joe Ruprecht. whom Menomi-
nee people will remember. the reason
why the crew didn't start work when
the whistG blew. Joe, as was his
regular habit. had arisen early and
had gone to the mill to see that every
thing was in readiness for work. When
Informed OF the reason he spat sever

Boys Welcome Home
Program Given Feby.
Y at the Academy

The ''Boys Welcome Home"
program Saturday, Feb. %, was
one Of the most striking pro-
grams eyer held in the Academy.
Every phase of the entertain
ment was beautifully correlated
with the Welcome Home"
spirit.
The music, directed by Prof.
K. E. Fordham, bore home the
message of appreciation for our
boys in a manner very pleasing
to the large audience. The
rousing applause for the two
numbers rendered by the Acade-
my choir is but a type of the
appreciation that we feel for
Prof. Fordham's splendid efforts
to give the best.
The decorations planned and
supervised by Mrs. Fern E.
Smith were very unique, giving
splendid color and emphasis to
every phase of Americas stand
in the great war.
Each part on the program is
deserving of special praise, but
we shall mention only a few.
Miss Alice H. Smith in her well
come address spoke the senti-
ments of the school in apprecia-
ton of our Boys in a sweet i'm
pressiveness which brought down
a hearty applause. John H.
Miller, orator of the day, gave
splendid tone to the Accomplish
ments Of America. In 1t. Geo.
A. Smiths toast to the Flag,
and Mr.. Treats Experiences of
an Overseas Soldier the spirit of
the occasion reached it's zenith.
The officers of the S. S. A.
Student Body extend hearty
appreciation to all who contribu-
ted in any way to the success of
the program. Especially do they
appreciate the enthusiastic aid
of Prof. Fordham at whose sug-
gestion the program was planned.

Americans to Compete With English Ocean Liners
Editor Sinclair Says
$l.OO Gasoline Is
Almost In Sig ht

The Sinclair Magazine, over
the signature of H. E. Sinclair
himself, states that the peace
demand will boom oil to unprece-
dented prices.
Mr.. Sinclair quotes figures to
show that its costs no more to
run four ships with oil than it
costs to run three ships of the
same size with coal. and says
that our mercantile marine will
urgently need oil. He might
have added an estimate of the
great saving in space effected
by using oil instead of coal. A
steamship starting on a long
voyage to Australia has to take
about as much coal as cargo.
This makes ship space SO costly
that with plenty of wheat in the
southern hemisphere there is a
wheat famine in Europe. For
long voyages oil will be in i'm
mediate and pressing demand.
But the probability of gaso-
line at a permanent peace price
Of around one dollar a gallon is
based on the universal triumph
of the automobile. Under the
general higher level of all prices
the increasing automobile de-
mand has lifted gasoline to about
25 cents a gallon. That makes
gasoline oil worth 81. 81 per bar
rel, in its crude state, as it
comes from the we'll. If the
gasoline price quadruples and
stays constant oil will also quad
ruple and bring SO per barrel.
This would make the stock of a
producing oil company which
now sell at, say 81 per share,
rise to 81, on the merits alone.
Peace should lift gasoline to
81 per gallon by Immediately
quadrupling the number of peo-
pie permitted to use pleasure
autos. Of five hundred million
highly civilized auto using peo-
pie only one hundred million are
now allowed to purchase gaso-
line for pleasure riding. They
are the people of the United
States. Joy-riding is still for
hidden to four hundred millions
in Europe, on account of war
necessities. They will buy as
many automobiles and use as
much gasoline, in proportion to
their numbers, as we do, as
fast, of course, as they are able
to do so. An equally large new
demand for gasoline will also
come from farm tractors and
all sorts of trucks in all inhabi-
table parts of thesearth. Dollar
gasoline is in sight.
