GASOLINE TAKES A JUMP

Four times since the first of the year
have big oil companies advanced the
price of gasoline in the Eastern states.
Their profit is estimated at $500, 900, 600.
Additional increases are predicted, with
the possibility of 30, cent gas by sum-
mer. Increased use is given as the rea-
son. For instance, it is reported that
last year motor vehicles alone consumed
{, 900, 600. 900 gallons of gas. Meanwhile
the new oil conservation board at Wash
inpt0n is wrestling with a variety Of
suggestions and d clash of opinion from
experts as a result of the question
aire il has sent out to the oil industry.

A WORD TO THE WISE

Peter told his story in some such way
IS this:
we feIIers had pop guns; you know,
the kind that shoot water. They sure
did work well. We stood on the street
curb and caught he automobiles as they
went by. One swell car came along with
a millionaire in it, and caught him
straight in the eyeI Gee, twas fun!-
for a minute! But he stopped the car
and jumped out. You bet ran! Down
the street. round the corner, into the
lane. ana he did not let up on the chase
either. | lodged icto a yard and saw an
empty ashcan; in | jumped and pulled the
lid down before he got IN sight. lie
stopped right by that ashcan and asked a
Teller where | was. The Teller didn't
know. The man had his hand on the lid!
My! how | shook! He told that Teller
that | JUS better tell my father about
this before he heard Of it from him, or
I'd get something d lot worse. He didn't
find M. Golly! but ! was glad when he
went back to his car.
Il thought a lot about shat thing. |
didn't like to tell my father, but II ia
got to, ! thought I'd have my supper
first. Then, | was afraid every minute
that the man would call upon the phone,
so | told the whole thing You oughta
heard what my father said. Oh, boy. It
was awful! | wished he'd licked me in
stead. Of course, | had to 90 to bed,
and he took the pop gun (he's got
il yet and, worst Of all, the man never
toid!'
A few weeks later Peters mother told
me briefly what the boys father had said
to bin. After shaning him for doing
such a small, mean thing he had added,
''Now think, what if you had inJured
that mans eye and had made him onnd
for life, never able 10 see anything.
Think how | would feel to have a son who
could do such a thing!'
AS you see, the punishment was etfec.

heard the rattle Of the ashcan and knew
where the boy was. | hope ne may

REAL SERVICE

A NATIONAL guard company in
a western state had been using
loud speaker on it's phonograph
at company headquarters. Some
things seemed to go wrong with
the instrument and one Of the boys
took it in to a local radio dealer
for repair.
Upon investigation it was found
that the instrument had been made
by the Magnavox company of Oak
land, California. The company was
written about new parts and re-
piled:
"If Magnavox is stamped on the
instrument. we will furnish new
parts free of charge, or if it is
sent to us and freight charges
paid, we will furnish the parts and
repair it free of charge. From

To A Little Girl
(Written for The MaiD
By D. MAITLAND BUSHBY

The other night your slim fingers
Played lightly on the ivory keys,
And like the ancient sorcerers,
You brought forth sweet old melo-
dies.
Playing life's quaint old melodies
for me.
While I stood there, turning the
leaves,
So that your sparkling eyes might
read,
felt like great thief of thieves,
Who is haunted by reckless deed;
For I was drinking in the beauty
Of your wavy, dark brown hair,
And my thoughts ran wild in care
less glee
At the sight of thing so fair.
Then to another song you turned,
And as you sang in soft sweet
voice,
Tears welled in my eyes, my heart
burned.
I wished for then, and did rejoice
In thinking, that the words you
sang were true,
For they were these, Little Girl,
love you.

NOT A DEAD ONE

TAS is one of the most variously
~ used of present-day products
and with other public utilities, rep
resents an invested capital greater
than any other American industry
excepting agriculture and the rail-
roads. It's capitalization, together
with that of the gas equipment and
appliance companies, has been es-
timated at some four billion dol
lars.
In the last six years alone, the
use of gas has shown an increase
greater than in the previous 100
years of the industry's existence.
New customers are being added at
the rate of 100000 a year. In the
past year the gas companies
throughout the country expended
some $4500OO,OOO for construction
and extension of service to meet
necessary demand.

This is the type Of service that is
placing American industries in the
front rank today. A manufacturer
or a country that will stand behind
it's goods or its principles in this
manner has an unlimited future

MAIL ORDER BUSINESS

very large sales. The business
that some Of these concerns, are
getting is enormous. Even those
whose trade is affected by this COM
petition must feel an admiration
for the enterprise that has been
shown in building up this bust
ness.
How much such competition af-
fects trade in a city like Winslow
is not clear. 1t may not affect
very much the trade of our own
immediate community, but our

REDUCE TAX BURDEN

FLORIDA stole march on other
states by passing law doing
away with inheritance taxes. The
result has been an influx of capital
to Florida greatly exceeding ex-
pectations. The resulting develop
ment along agricultural and build
ing lines will place new wealth on
the tax rolls, which will produce
revenue far in excess of what Flor
ida could ever have collected
through inheritance taxes.
The California Tax association
publishes a statement that a veal
thy man who wished to move to
that state found that it would cost
him $1S0,000 more to die there than
in the state where he now resides.
He did not move to California.
Florida has capitalized an op-
portunity open to every community,
namely, by reducing the tax burden
she has encouraged the investor to
develop her resources.
No more striking object lesson
can be offered to national or local
governments that tax oppression
kills the sources of tax revenue,
while tax moderation will build up
taxable assets. A first step toward
scientific tax reduction and equali-
zation is to outlaw the unfair tax
exempt bond.

THE FIRST NATIONAL
THANKSGIVING

THE genius of George Washing
ton had much to do with shap-
ing this country in permanently
successful form. 1t would be well
therefore, when we approach a ma
tional holiday like Thanksgiving,
to think what he felt this occasion
should mean to the people of this
country. He made these points in
his first proclamation as president
of Thanksgiving day:
L. That we should all render
thanks to God for his care and pro-
lection. Considering the perils
from which our country has been
saved, the same obligation is still
more insistent now.
2. That we should be grateful
for tranquility, union, and plenty.
No nation on earth has had 50
much of these three blessings as
we have.
8. That we should be grateful
for the American constitution.
Considering that this constitution
made this government success
where all previous democratic in
stitutions failed, we have great
reason for gratitude on this point
4. Thankfulness for civil and re-
ligious liberty. There is no coun-
try in the world that has so much
liberty as we have, except in those
countries where there is liberty be-
cause there is no strong or well
organized government We do not
care for liberty to that extent
Washington was not satisfied
merely with any general feeling of
gratitude as a holiday observance.
He also called on the people to
pray to God for the pardon of
their transgressions, for help in
performing their duties, for the
continuance of the government
through wise, just, and constitu-
tional laws" for knowledge, re-
ligion and virtue, and the increase
of science, and such degree Of
temporal prosperity as God may
think best. These are noble ideals
and we could we'll think these
thoughts here in Winslow on our
Thanksgiving.
The Winslow mail., 1925-11-20

guess is that there is lot of mail
order business done here.
The ordinary merchant may feel
somewhat helpless as he considers
the competition of some of these
houses. He may take up such a
catalog, and admire the thorough
ness with which goods are illus
trated and described. He can see
that a big force of specialists on
advertising are devoting their best
abilities to making those goods
seem attractive. He may feel that
he can not compete with all that
expert ability.
And yet there is one thing that
he can do, and the question arises
whether he is doing it or not. He
can make the name of his firm
thoroughly well-known throughout
this territory. 1t may be that in
many families that might trade at
his store, the names of number
of. these mail order Houses are a
good deal better known than the
name of his store, in spite of the
fact that he is near, while they may
be long distance away.
The firm that by advertising
makes it's name and policies and
special opportunities well known
throughout the surrounding terri
tory, is not worrying about mail
order competition. 1t is going
ahead and making gains, in spite
of whatever business the mail or
der people are obtaining.

Of wildcat schemes down in Florida,

Shank wrote. "Wha tthey should

HOOSIER SEEKS
Light ON HIS
CL0UDED PAST
Charlottesville Man Lies in
Haze in Hospital at
Denver.

BIZ gnMed Press -,
DENVER, Colo, Aug. 7.-William
David Sorrels, 40, in a hospital here
is trying today to pierce the haze
that has made his activities during
the last few years a mystery.
Sorrels was informed yesterday his
mother was on the way here to see
him from Charlottesville, Ind. He
said when informed of his mother
coming, that he had supposed her
dead.
Today, the man. suffering from
an acute heart affliction says that
about all he knows about himself, he
has been in Missouri, Oklahoma ana
Colorado during the years since he
left his home in Charlottesville, i'm.
mediately after his fathers death.
He tells a story of a woman who has
taken care of him in his many sick
nesses. He says he does not know
the woman other than that she has
always taken care of him. rs
A woman was at the hospital yes
terday to see him, but was not ques-
toned by attendants.
Sorrels says she told him he had
a wife and three children.
It is believed by attendants at
the hospital that Sorrels is well ed
ucated and has tasted the luxuries
of life, although now in the charity
ward.
A man giving the name Of Robert
H. Burns befriended Sorrels here and
got him in the hospital.
Burns says Sorrel told him he had
left a fortune in Indiana following
a quarrel after the. death of his
father, land the next Mime his folks
saw him be would be in a casket."
