WEST-as the West itself
Is This Gasoline For You Weste,ners

THE question is often asked, How
l. can l choose my gasoline? : don't
see it. 1t goes into my tank from
hose while sit in the front seat. BY
local or state ordinance it must per-
form satisfactorily ly-at least enough
SO that it is hard for me to tell the
difference in gasoline. If it doesn't
function SO well, it may be the car
itself. So how can judge?"
But you can Judge in another way.
When YOU hire man you inquire as
TO his record. When you buy car
YOU want TO know if the manufacturer
is reliable. If he has been in business
long. How he has progressed. Ard
if his product is quickly thought-out
assembly. Or has it developed as the
inevitable perfection of years of con-
scientious labor.
So with gasoline and oil.
And when you buy non-detonating
Union Gasoline and Aristo Motor Oil,
consider these facts:

VICTORIA FEARED WAR

Independent Kingdom Of Canada

by Queen.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 13.-Queen Vic
toria's fear that England would have
war with the United States after the
Civil War and might most be able to
hold Canada is set forth in an extract
from her diary. just published in
Buckles Letters of Queen Vic
toria."
An entry on February l.. 1868.
written at Osborne. Isle Of Wight,
tells of "A conversation she had just
had With Sir G. Wood in which
they discussed the danger of losing
Canada. But we must struggle for
it," the diary reads. And far the
best would be to let it so as an in
dependent kingdom with an English
prince. But can we stave this off.
and who could be chosen? | told Sir
c. Wood that dearest Albert had
often thought of the colonies for our
sons. but that | had disliked the
idea. However, now l felt. once
knowing the serious reasons put be-
fore me- [ could not but entertain
the thought, though for Alfred it
would not do. For Arthur it might
be different"
Alfred was the Duke of Edin-
bureh. later Duke of SAKE -Coburg-
Gotha, and Arthur was the Duke Of
Connaught, who is still living and
was formerly Governor General of

FARM RELIEF BILL
FACES ROCKY ROAD
Passage Before Session
1ads Doubtful, Due to Many
Complications.

BY the Associated Press.
Doubt and anxiety have begun to
appear in the ranks of the farm rep
resentativcs who fortnight ago con-
fidenIfy rnarc.ed on Washington, de-
manding relief legislation.
After long labor a relief. bill is
taking form in the House agriculture
committee, but it is a long haul and
a rocky road from the committee
room to the Presidents desk at the
White House. And administration
leaders apparently are counting on
adjournment of Congress sometime in
May.
Some Still Optimistic.
Some committee members still pre-
dict bill will be laid before Mr..
Coolidge for his signature before Con-
eress goes home, but others qualify
their predictions. The farm leaders
themselves have by 40 means aban-
doned hope, although they manifestly
are worried over the difficulties and
delays that beset them.
At the very beginning of their in
vaSion of the capital the farm dele
cations were taken aback by the un-
expected manner of their reception.
They were welcomed on every hand,
hut We're told to get together around
a table and decide just what il was
they wanted. Then the trouble began.
The more they consulted with one an
her and with members of the House
committee the more the whole project
became obSCured in q cloud of Hrgu-
ment and Il tangle of technicalities.
Cndeniable progress has been made.
hut the views of many witnesses yet
are to he heard. Then. after a bill
has been perfected. it will have to take
it's chances in the usual Legislative
Jam that usually rrecedeS the close of
session. There still are important
appropriation bills pending. and the
Senate is engulfed with a multiplicity
of measures ranging from contested
nominations to foreign debt settle
mentS.
Resume Hearings Tomorrow.
The agricultural committee was not
in session yesterday. but tomorrow it
will resume its hearings with the farm
delegation from II Middle Western
States presenting for the first time
complete draft Of its plan for Federal
insurance of surplus crops by means
of an equalization fee. Besides the
members of this delegation. Chair
Haugen has a list of more than a
score of prospective witnesses. who
want to be heard for or against this
on other pending bills. They repre-
sent organizations or individual inter
ests connected with agriculture.
Mr. Haugen said yesterday the COM
mittee could not refuse to hear any
one who cared to come to Washington
to discuss relief legislation. Under
present plans the estmony will be
taken on every one Of two dozen pend
Ing relief measures if any one wants
to he heard.
Members predict that at least a
month will he required to dispose of
all the bills. Some say it will be six
weeks or longer: and that will ONLY
mark the beginning of the long proc
eSs of enacting IA relief bill into law.
