KEROSENE AS A FUEL

The muss and dirt of coal On
wood cook stove add to the burden
of the housewife. Coal dust seems
to get everywhere and it means con-
tiEual work to keep a kitchen clean
when coal is used in the stove.
All this trouble is done away with
when kerosene is used as a fuel, 1t
is clean and convenient and makes
far less work for the housewife. In
addition to this, it is more econom-
ical than either coal or wood.
A good kerosene like the Standard
Oil company's Pearl oil makes a dis
tinct saving. not only in the house
hold budget but also in the time and
energy of the housewife. Pearl oil
gives excellent results as fer as good
cooking is concerned and when it is
used the kitchen never becomes
oVerheated. A good cookstove with
Pearl oil will bake, broil, roast and
toast economically.
Having been refined and re-
refined by special process, the i'm
purities are removed from Pearl oil
SO that it burns up clean and pro-
dnces no odor.

AUTOMOBILES HAVE
INCREASED WEALTH

The extent to which the automo-
bile has contributed 10 the wealth of
the country in comparison with other
utilities is shown by review of the
various stages OF our commercial
evolution says A. b. Baker. local
dealer in Chevrolet passenger cars
and trucks.
From 1890 to 1900 the wealth
OF the United States increased from
$6l9,2O0,000 to $SS.517307,00O an
increase of $S7S9S.10T0O0.
From that year until 1918, a per-
iod Of is years. the wealth of the
United States increased from $685.
81 100000 to $250,0O0. 100000. an
increase of $161,4S2.603, 900. 1t is to
be noted that the increase in this
1S-year period was practically al
most twice the increase in the no.
year period.
In the years 1900 to 1918, the
principal changes in our commercial
lie, were due to the introduction OF
wireless, the beginning Of foreign
trade; development and standardiza-
tlon OF manufacturing, and the
manufacture and general adoption Of
the automobile for transportation
purposes.
1t has been said, community adj
vances only so far as its transporta-
tlon facilities allow it to do. Ii re-
stricted by certain limits of trans
portation, business growth is re-
stricted. This leads to the thought
as to how much the automobile as a
transportation medium has had to
dc with the very unusual growtl in
the period of 1900 to 1918.
While it is true that without the
automobile there would have been
| material development in the country,
due to the Introduction and use of
the many improved utilities anu
methods, it is obvious that the full
est value or usefulness OF these in
ncvations could not have been Sc
cured without the aid of motor-nrn-
PEELED vehicles. And so to the auto
mobile is rightly due a major share
OF the credit for the development o.
natural resources, the expansion of
our industries and the increase in
wealth, as had been experienced dur
ing recent years"

Percentage

The 1919 crop will give a very diff
ferent percentage distribution on ac-
count of the large increase of fail
wheat, but il is safe to predict that
these same nine varieties will still
l.; uduce 80 per cent of the crop.
From experiments conducted by
the experiment station for the last
10 years. they have found that Forty
Fold Hybrid 143 end Red Russian
might profitably be eliminated. That
Hybrid l2S could take the place of
Forty Fold and Red Russian in every
section of the state where they are
grown. All factors considered, Hy-
bid 12S will return more money pc"

tEan either Forty Fold or Red Rus

as a fall wheat Hybrid 1928 will prove
more hardy and will yield more bush

W HEAT VARIETIES RAISED IN

cites were Of only local importance,

the old established wheat

the old established wheat sections
there was very little, if any abuse.
IL fact, so far as complaints reaching
us were concerned during the last
two years, we had as many from To-
cal interior buyers and in some in
stances farmers organizations that
millers and some dealers were pay
ing more than the government price.
or what they thought they should be
paying, than otherwise.
! also noticed in the Review that
Mr. TeaSarden of Montana seemed to
feel that Mr.. Barnes the wheat di-
rector was using powers to limit the
buying of wheat only to the govern
ment guaranteed price. This is a
&"leVous mistake. Anyone in the
business, either grain milling, or ex-
porting, is free to LAY for or buy
wheat. at any price they see fit so
long as it is not lower than the gov
eminent guaranteed price 1t is one
o. the primary functions OF the grain
corporation to see that to the fullest
extent OF is ability the guaranteed
price is maintained absolutely at all
times. In fact, nothing would please
the wheat director more than to see
such good marketing conditions at
f3tr margin over and above the guar
anteed price that it would become
necessary for US to buy little, if any
wheat. This | think was clearly dem
opstrated last year, especially out
here in the Northwest, as on account
OF the drouth the crop movement
started early, yet it was we'll along
in September before little, if any,
vi eat was delivered TO the grain
corporation on account Of mills and
others buying the grain at better
prices than the Grain Corporation.
Another point | would like to
Fave fully understood is that the
grower at all times will have the priv
ilege of shipping his wheat direct to
the Grain Corporation at either Port
land, Seattle Tacoma or Astoria, or
h2ving the interior dealer perform
this service for him on a reasonable
outright or commission basis,
am very much pleased to know
we will have in this years operation
either the carrying charge clause in
the contracts, or the advancing
monthly premium so that the grow
er who can Immediately market his
wheat or who may buy it, will be
reasonably recompensed for the de-
lay. as | have felt the last two years
that this was the only serious diff
Guilty confronting the grower and the
proper functioning of the grain cor
poration to reflect fair dealing to the
grower.
| fully expect to see reasonably
free movement from the terminals
during the early fall months in the
tonnage that will be completed, and
] sincerely hope that enough addi-
tional contracts will be let, or ship
ping provided during the winter and
early spring months to move and
clean up the entire crop, or at least
so much of it that the final delivery
can be fully taken care of at ter
minals.

Songs That Awaken Memories.

Very many years ago wise man,
called Fletcher of Saltoun, said that
if he were permitted to write the
songs for a people he would not care
who made their laws. and the senti-
ment has gone echoing along the cor
ridOrs Of time.
But although we do not know the
names of our song writer's, says the
New York Herald, the songs them
selves make an impression on our
minds that remains long after they
have become ,trfte and passed into
oblivion. There is not one of them,
however. that will not in later years
awaken memories long dormant.
Lyrics that catch the public. fancy
usually voice some passing mood or
condition. but there is one theme that
never passes-one that served singers
and poets before Cadmus invented let
tiers. There is never season, from
mating spring to dreary winter, in
which the passion that rules mems
lives does not seek expression in some
new melody.

BY NO MEANS BARREN WASTE
Group OF islands known a. spitxher-
gen Has Been Found 70 He
Rich In Minerals.

Spitxbergea, 400 miles northwest
Of North Cape In Norway, has been
looked upon for centuries as great
ice-bound waste not WORTH the trouble
OF exploration. It was discovered In
1853 by Willoughby, a British naviga-
tor, and nearly fifty years later was
visited by the Dutch explorer Barents.
1t had been known to the Russians and
to the old Norsemsn years before but
they had taken NO interest In the place.
Its shores have been visited during re-
cent centuries by the crews of whaling
ships, and Arctic explorers have used
1T as base Of operations.
It was not until Sir w. Martin Com
way Of Great Britain made tour Of
exploration In 1896 and 1897 that any
thing definite was known concerning
the interior Of Spitzbergen. He made
comparatively complete tour of the
six islands constituting the group, but
seemed more interested In the glacial
aspects of the country than in looking
for coal and iron, which are now known
to be there in vast quantities. But he
established effectively the claim of his
country to sovereignty, which seems to
be about to develop into very valu-
able asset.
