THE GASOLINE PROBLEM

The ante for a gallon OF gasoline
seems to have paused in its upward
flight, but at that it takes a good
many chips to sit in the game with
ones tin Lizzie and make go of II.
There is a shortage Of gasoline, the
oil men say. II their statement to
that effect Is a bluff, no one has been
able to call 1t. For the public has
been educated to realize thoroughly
that where there is a shortage there
is bound to be a rise in price. 1t all
is based on the good old law OF sup
ply and demand, which may be ex-
planned In these few words:
The mon who supply a commodity
are very apt TO demand moro money
for It II they can get 1t.
Gasoline. 1t has been said. should
now bo pronounced with the accent
on the "lean." 1t should be eonserv-
ed with the sreatnst care and not
used In torches or to light stoves.
Someone might be blown up and o
whole lot OF gasoline wasted, 1t IL
an especially helnous practice to clean
the spots from a suit with gasoline,
Nowadays many motorist gazes sad

many miles per spot he could have
gotten out of II.

gasoline from straw, that may allie

thirty years, but none of the magnl-

as the one OF last Tuesday. In 1894.
the first break that Missouri made IN
its political leaning was the election
OF a few minor state offices. Judge
OF the supreme court and the lower

OF the state ticket below governor
and the lower house OF the Assembly.
In 1908 the Republicans elected the
governor and lieutenant governor and
in 1919 one state office, In 1918
they elected the lower house,
The Republicans have gained con-
