GASOLINE PRICES SHOULD DROP

The price OF crude oil, from whicl
your gasoline is made. has been cut
in two. But you haven't noticed any
such drop in the price OF gasoline
Here and there the refiners have lop-
ped of a cent or two but in the main
you are paying the old high prices.
Three months ago, rehners and pipe
line companies were paying oil pro-
ducers $6.10 barrel for PENNSYLVANIA
crude oil. This price has dropped to
50 barrel.
The price of all other gasoline pro
ducing crude oil has dropped cor
respondingly. with the exception OF
California oil. the price OF which has
been given backbone by the possibil-
ity OF n mild oil and gasoline short
age in Pacific Coast state.
The refiner ssay that they can't cut
gasoline prices until they get rid OF
hugh oil stocks bought at high prices
But stock OF crude oil on hand In the
United States January /, 1919. totaled
only 1877 100000 barrels. according to
the American Petroleum Institute.
That was less than a four-months'
supply and Is practically used up now.
When crude oil prices collapsed.
the huge tankage dn the middle west
was nearly empty Refners and pipe
line companies are now filing up their
tankage with cheap oil--which means
cheaper-cost gasoline.
Stocks OF gasolin on hand are less
than three-months' supply. But no
danger OF shortage The oil market
Is glutted Thousands OF oil wells
are closed down-not being pumped
because the pipe line companies say
they can't take all the production.
Gasoline, according To veteran oil
producers should now be selling for
an average OF not more than Is cents
a gallon. Some oil men say IA cents
would yield the refiners snug profits
Americans in 1920 consumed 4.256.-
42S. 900 gallons OF gasoline. Consum-
ption now Is at about the same rate.
despite many not driving their cars.
On that basis. every penny-cut In
gasoline would save car owners $42.-
564.2S0 a year. Likewise. every pen
ny OF inflated price of gasoline Is
levy OF s42.564,2S0 a year on automo-
bile users.
Gasoline Is averaging about "a cents
Ia gallon in the United States. II, as
oil producers claim. this Is about ten
cents a gallon too much, the excess
profits in the gasoline industry are
costing us at the rate OF about s40O.-
O00. 900 year.
Refiners say that they must keep
gasoline high because they can't mar
ket all other by-products Of crude oil
But those hy-products - lubricating

GET BOXING INSTRUCTIONS
VIM. T.. Masterson, State Supervisor,
Outlines Work to Students

A novel form OF athletic training
was introduced to Crystal Falls High
School students last Thursday-box
ing-and judging from the interest
displayed In the first lesson, the fac
ulty feel satisfied that IL will be pop
ular. The boys take TO II as kindly
as smaller boys TO ice cream.
William K. Masterson, represent
ing the State Department of Public
instruction. Division OF Physical Ed
ucation, spent all Thursday afternoon
teaching the fundamental principles
OF boxing and talking to the students.
The work Is In class formation for
the most part. which takes in the
fundamental positions, punches, ele-
ments OF defense. shadow boxing and
training exercises. After a workout
I'm class formation every boy is given
an opportunity TO box with a partner,
and later Mr. Masterson demonstrates
how to box. stressing on the elements
OF defense and their Importance.
No Slugging
Mr.. Masterson says the boxing is
distinctly not the pummelling kind
and that the department. has for its
aim the teaching Of the boxing quick
ness of thought, rapidity OF motion,
gameness OF heart and value OF ex-
ercise. 10 ounce boxing gloves are
being used in this work, making II
practically impossible for one boy to
do another bodily harm, such as brok-
en- noses, cauliflower ears, or other
like adornments.
Popular In State High School
Mr.. Masterson has introduced it i'm
High Schools and Normals throughout
the state. lie is making 25 upper pc
ninsula towns and goes from here to
Ironwood The work has the endorse
ment OF every educator in the state
where AIR. Masterson has been. Mr..
Masterson was formerly boxing in
structor az Camp Custer during the
war and has been designated to do
such work by Floyd A. Rowe, State
Director OF Physical Education.
The state instructor evidently en-
joys his work and puts all his energy
into every motion. The students viii
all agree that Mr.. Masterson Is cap
able OF using his skill to a practical
advantage in case Of necessity. The
boys all expressed their wish as did
the faculty as Mr.. Masterson may soon
come again 20 Crystal Falls for some
more advanced work. In the mean
time he would authorize the sending
of two new sets of boxing gloves for
the purpose OF following up the work
that has been done.

TRAILING ARBUTUS-H0W TO
PICK 1T

The time OF the year has arrived
when that delightfully."- fragrant but
modest American wild flower, the
Trailing Arbutus, Is in season. Al
ready large bouquets OF this welcome
and sweet smelling harbinger OF
spring have been brought in by early
seekers after their favorte hover OF
the Lake Superior district.
Everyone Is most anxious to find a
good patch" OF Arbutus. But each
year Il Is becoming more and more
difficult to do so. For the reason that
many folks, instead OF taking time to
PICK of the stems, or cut them of
with a pocket knife or an old scissors.
In their great haste, simply PULL
them up roots and all. trimming the
roots off later. But in order to save
little time In gathering the flowers
they KILL of the chance that them
selves or anyone else can hope Of
getting more from that patch" next
season. Mighty nearly every man has
knife in his pocket, certainly some
one in the average party, driving or
walking out TO get Arbutus must be
the possessor of pocket knife BY
using a knife or old scissors, II will
be possible 10 get just as many flow
ers. and the roots will be left TO grow
flowers for some one else 10 gather
al another time and another season.
Don't forget the other fellow. He
may appreciate the beautiful flowers
also. or perhaps is anxious to get
them for some one who through
sickness Is unable to enjoy the bless
ings or healthful trip through the
woods looking for them. Pick all
you want but DO NOT DESTROY the
plant. Not many years ago there
were acres and acres OF Arbutus in
different parts OF the district. but OF
late IL is not SO plentiful. and the
number OF good patches" has been
constantly growing more and more
scarce. due entirely to the careless,
wasteful manner OF gathering the
same that has been practicedl by so
many folks.--Hancock Journal.

The action OF the Federal Supreme
Court in upholding the sentence OF
Haywood and his co-conspirators TO
prison for attempting 20 obstruct the
governments work during the war
will be generally approved. Haywood
and his l. w. WIS are anti-Ameri-
can and the failure OF their appeal TO
the highest court for change in their
cases is assurance that the govern
ment must be upheld in its efforts TO
preserve the nation in times OF great
peril.

PLANES WILL FORCE
ALTERED WARSHIPS
Tests Show Need for Greater Deck
Protection in All
Craft.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Techni-
cal experts are now seeking to de-
sermine the lessons to be gained by
the bombing Of the former German
submarine U-117, and the sinking of
the U-14o and the UB-14s by gun
fire, Off the Virginia Gapes.
Since the U-117 was a thin-hulled
submarine and absolutely at the
mercy OF the attacking seaplanes
which sank it, few technical experts,
either army or navy, are willing to
admit that the quick destruction Of
this German craft can by any stretch
OF the imagination be interpreted
as marking the passing of the
capital ship"
One lesson already clearly estab-
hshed Is that fighting ships OF the su-
ture must be adequately protected by
aircraft OF their own against attack
by enemy aircraft, or they are
doomed. The capital ship likewise
must have better armor protection on
its decks.

MacSWineyS Strike, At

DANYILLE. ILL.,. Jan. 8.-"If Great
Britain could not make MacSwiney break
his fast, how can we in our small way
compel a woman 10 eatl'
This was the question Of States Attor-
ney John II. Lawman, 'Vermilion County,
today when he was asked if the State
contemplated efforts to break the forty
day fast Of Mrs. Sadie Harrington, who
IS using this unique method in an at
tempt to force her husband to "get re-
Hgion."
An emaciated appearance is the only
known effect of the fast upon Mrs. Har-
rison. who formerly was a plump woman.
SO far her pulse and temperature con-
tinue normal.
Although my husband is not bad
man. NE has no religion" said Mrs. Har-
rison. II will pray and abstain from
food until he is converted"
The woman has also refused medicine
in which concentrated food was concealed.
Each day she is offered food and refuses
to take it.
Ernest c. Harrington, a local business
man, is the woman's husband.
IF she wants to starve herself to
death, that's her business" he said, in
the incipient stages Of the hunger strike.
His heart gradually softened, however,
and Wednesday he wrote the pastor OF
the Church Of God. Eldorado, ILL.,, asking
him to come to Danville and urge Mrs.
Harrington to abandon her fast.

HOG MARKET
TONE STRONG
Swine Prices Is to so Cents
Higher-Calves Down.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

Hog prices were generally 25Q50c
lower at the opening Of the local live
stock exchange today. with light re-
ceipts at 1000 and a good demand both
by the local packers ard the shippers
with Eastern house connections.
There was n top Of $lOSa on some
good light hogs. with the bulk OF that
grade selling a $l0j00t0.T5. Heavy hogs
generally brought $40 and mediums and
mixed $40. 25@lO.J0. Roughs were fully
SOC higher at $S6S.J0, and pigs generally
sold at the price of the loads.
The bulk of the sales for the early
forenoon trading ran $lC25M 1915.
There were around 1000 fresh hogs
on the market and approximately 500
left over from the Friday market trade.
Trading on the cattle market was &C
tive, but the receipts were extremely
light at around 800 cattle. Prices were
generally steady, with a stronger tone
in the few cases of good cattle.
Prices On the calf market were gener-
ally 90 cents lower, with a top of SIG,
and the bulk of the choice veals at $14.J0
@155O.
The decline is attributed to the grad
ually returning Of marketing conditions
in the East following the holiday sea-
son.
With close to $50 sheep and lambs on
the market, prices We're steady. with
sheep at S1.JO013.5O. and lambs S5@10.
The quality of the stuff on the market
was not as high as the Friday run, and
taking this into consideration, some
would call the market today shade
strong.

WOULD GUARD
PACIFIC FROM
ORIENTAL RULE
Canada, Australia and New
Zealand Desire to Share
in u. S. Policy.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-UniqUe recogni-
ton of Americas dominant position in
the Pacific is contained in the persistent
indications that Canada, Australia and
New Zealand desire to share the shelter
of American battle fleets.
An understanding among the four COM
mOnwealths for safeguarding the Pacific
against Oriental control would greatly
add to the prestige of the United States
and would increase the authority Of this
country as the spokesman of democracy
in the Far East.
The warships of Canada, Australia and
New Zealand would not strengthen ma
terially the fighting power of the Ameri-
can Navy. But the moral advantage of
having the three great elfgoyerning, Eng
fish speaking colonies cooperating with
Americas trans-Pacific policies would be
Of decisive weight in all critical devel-
opments. As long as such a combination
existed. Japan would have to abandon
every idea OF expanding in any direc-
ton that would imperil the economic
standards of the white races.
The British dominions facing the
Pacific have no first class naval stations
for their own use. The United States Is
now planning the construction of sew
eraI stations Of the most modern type.
Canada, Australia and New Zealand
would have no major Use ror their navies
In war for racial control of the Pacif:
If they could not avail themselves of the
American stations.
Every reason of sound strategy. there
fore. requires that the three dominions
cooperate in far eastern affairs with the
United states. The dOminions and
America have a common 4nyerest In max
ing a circle of democracy around the
Pacific. Americas vital needs for de-
Tense are problems of the Pacific far more
than Of he Atlantic
Under these circumstances, any venture
by America into interuationa9 politics Is
more likely to make this country an
associate Of Canada, Australia and New
Zealand than Of the transatlantic
powers.

PROMPT ACTION
is FAVORED IN
CUBAN TANGLE
Republican Leaders in Con-
gress Feel Time to Step
in at Hand.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Republican
leaders in Congress favor q prompt
Strengthening out of the Cuban entagle-
ment which has led the White House to
dispatch Gen. Enoch II. Crowder to
Havana as a special envoy with extraordi-
nary powers, and which may lead later
to a congressional investigating com
mittee.
Latest reports reaching Washington
Indicate that Cuba $ situation, both from
political and economic point Of view,
is so grave that the little island republic
Of itself is incapable of putting her house
in order without the aid of some friend
ly advice and counsel.
Powerful Cuban Liberals in Washing
ton have laid before the Government the
fact that although presidential elections
there were held months ago there has as
yet been no result announced. Repre-
sentatives of the Liberal party maintain
they are in the majority In cuba, but
have been kept from the .reins OF gov
eminent through the political machina-
tions Of President Menocal Dr. Manuel
AugulO. head Of the Liberal movement
Eere said today the Cuban people would
welcome American advice and friendly
counsel as contemplated in the Plat
amendment.
The Cuban case presents added i'm
portance Mt this time, because Repu-
lican leaders, particularly Senator Hiram
johnson of California and senator Phil
ander c. Knox of Pennsylvania-two
treaty irrecOncilables-see In 1t a golden
opportunity TO steer American diplomatic
activities back on home grounds
Since the assembling of the present
session of Congress it has been freely
predicted that under the Harding ad-
ministrahon the United States is begin
ming to pay more attention to affairs OF
the Western hemisphere and less to the
Affairs Of war torn pickering Europe. In
huential Republicans have insisted that
the western hemisphere Is the natural
field OF influence and activity for Amer
lea, and that we would do well to Keep
our own house in order before mixing
too heavily In Europes affairs.
The Cuban case, they believe, presents
Just the opportunity desired for start
I'm this direction. President-elect Hard
ing has indicated in speeches and con-
ferences that he viii strongly indorse
such a general policy once he is In the
White House.
The sending Of a congressional commit
tee To investigate Cuban affairs probably
would involve n small joint committee.
The Senate Committee on Cuban Affairs,
OF which Senator Johnson Of California
is chairman, consists OF five members
johnson. Knox OF Pennsylvania, McCor-
mick Of Illinois, Underwood OF Alabama
and Dial Of South Carolina, the last two
being Democrats. The Republicans were
"bitter enders" on the treaty.
Mccormick is In Europe and probably
coulF not go. Knox could hardly leave
and Underwood. as minority leader, would
hardly feel free TO leave Washington, it
was said today.
The ultimate decision as to whether 4
committee shall be sent probably will
rest with Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
the majority leader who is confined to
his home by Illness.
