BASEBALL ASSOCIATION
 SHOWS PEP"

Feb. 12. Minutes of the meeting of the Holbrook Baseball Association.
 The meeting was called to order by JIM. Lee. A report from the special com mittee on the relocation of the grand stand was asked. Henry Stiles, chairman, re- ported that the committee had decided that the most logical location for this year would be the ground i'm. mediately adjoining t h e townsite on the east, t h e grandstand to be located at or near the end of Oakland Ave. The absence of Mir. Henry Scorse prevented de- finite report being turned in to the meeting, but it was understood that if tn e ground can be secured, this site would be used. T h e special committee further reported that it had been de- cided that the best method of moving that grandstand was to ask for bids for the job.
 The meeting then went into executive session and it was the unanimously opin- ion that this meeting wa S the most propitious time for the formation of an organ ization. A temporary con- mittee was appointed t o draw up bylaws. Jesse Hulet, Chairman, R. D. Chubbuck Secretary, and the grandstand committee, Messrs. Teeple, Burton, Stiles, Caldwell, Patterson.
 The committee reported it's findings as follows.

No Danger of Shortage In
 Gasoline

Washington, Mafch 24-There is no danger of gasoline shortage.
 Fears expressed in some quarters that the United States might be threatened with a gasoline famine to- day were declared by officials of the Federal Bureau of Mines to be groundless.
 <'There is a n ample supply of gas to meet all the requirements of the -1o.5o5. .6so automobiles and trucks that are said to be in use in this country, together with the predicted 20 per cent. increase in their number this year. declared one of the Gov ernment's oil experts.
 With the use of automobiles and trucks growing by leaps and bounds the Bureau of Mines is giving close, study to the gasoline situation Sur veys of production of crude petro- leum, operations of the refineries and stocks in storage are being made at regular intervals iby the Bureau, and by this means the Governments ex- pertS are enabled to keep in close touch with production and eons,1rnp- ton of the commodity that keeps the utom obiles running.
 3O3 Reffneries Operate
 Officials pointed out that at the end of last year there were 5S6O87132 gallons of gasoline held in storage, while there were sos refineries in op- eration having a total daily ca pacity of 1,736,725 barrels of crude oil
 "A large number of these refiueries are only running about S9 per cent of capacity, and there are in addition. about 150 refineries that have shut down." said one of the Government oil experts. There are ample stocks of crude oil in sight so tinnid automobile owners need have no fear that a gasoline famine Is immin- ent''
 Last year 6.t5s. .54s;s1s gallons of gasoline were produced in the United States, being an average of 14119- 313 gallons daily. This was an in crease over 1920 of 271 ,oO2,669 gal ions- Domestic consumption of gaso- line in 1920 exceeded that of 1e19 hv, 1,0S1 900, 900 gallons

 Many Marriages Result.
 Many marriages result. When there is a question of one of these no moth CT with a daughter to place in life could take more pains to inquire into the antecedents of the proposed h- ance than the officers do to look up the girls record and ascertain if she is scitable and good" An immense amount of correspondence takes place. So many records are searched and so much red tape tangled the inyestga. ton lasts for many weeks. When the wedding at length takes place it is the American rule to send the soldier and his bride back to the states on the first transport.
 As a result, some soldiers. not wish ing to return at once and intending to marry when the orders for home are issued. lived with girls without arriage-sometimes with tragic con sequences. Thus, when, in the recent influenza epidemic, a young soldier had no time before he died to marry, as he wished to do. the girl he had been living with and so provide Tor her and for their child he had no way to divert to them any part of his government insurance unless he could make herNfffs wife. He had no time to comply with the strict German marriage laws. His insurance money eventually went to his brother-in-law in the states. his nearest relative.
