Gas Costs More, Mileage
 Less; But Easily Made

IOWA CITY, Ia, May 10.- It's easy to make high test gasoline out of third rate fuel-if you want to pay six cents a gallon more than the best gas would cost-says Theodore R. Tiioren of the Uni versity Of Iowa.
 Besides that, Thoren says tests in the mechanical engineering lab oratory here have shown .that con- sumption goes up with the synthet- ic product.
 Thorens mixture was obtained by blending 20 per cent alconol with third rate fuel. The resulting product has an anti-knock value equal to that of first grade gaso- line. Another drawback, however, he says, is that it is more difficult to start an engine with it than with regular gasoline.

FARM INCOMES UP

Farmers sales of principal agri
cultural products brought in tot
|al return of $4,215, 900 during
the first nine months of this year.
Totals for the same periods in 1884
and 1888 were $3,S92, O52.00O and
$3,23S,S53, 900 respectively. These
totals do not include government
rental and benefit payments.
All major regions, with the ex-
ception of the Southern Central
and South Atlantic, shared in the
improvement. Experience was es
pecially favorable in the East North
Central area, where receipts jupm-
ed % per cent over last year.
Much of the credit for this en-
couraging change in farm income is
due to economic forces. But a share
of the credit must go to the farm
ers' themselves who, through CO.
operative efforts, laid the ground
work that enabled them to take adj
vantage of changing times. Farm
cooperatives are stronger now than
they were before depression-they
are more aggressive-they have
more members. Those members are
reaping the we'll earned fruits Of
their efforts.

G. ID. ARNOLD. Publisher
OF SOUND TRANS
FORMATION

The fear has been expressed that
the financial condition of certain
railroad lines will eventually re-
suit in government ownership of
| the industry Some important lines
nave borrowed from government
agencies. such as the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corporation, and in a
few cases have been unable to meet
obligations when due.
The fear, however, is groundless,
in the opinion of Carl R. Gray,
President of the Union Pacific sys-
TEN. expressed in a recent Chicago
address. According to Mr.. Gray, the
present Indebtedness of the rail
roads to the government is some
$55O,OOO,OO0 - per cent of the
industrys capitalization, and less
than per cent of their property
investment.
BY way of comparison, just af
ter the war the lines owed the gov
eminent more than $1,000 1000, 600
and all but S38,O0O,OO0 of this has
been paid with interest.
"What l do forsee,' Mr. Gray
continued, land this is much
more peasant prospect, is an ac-
oeptance by government and the
people alike of the principle that
all forms of transportation shall be
permitted to work out their own
economic problems, fitting into that
field for which they are best adapt
ed, coofdinating and cooperating
whenever practicable, the sole cTi-
terion to be the public interest.
That is sound, is reasonable and
is a course definitely in the public
interest. The nation does not want
government ownership of its larg-
est industry, with all the waste, in
efficiency and deficits it would in
tail. Nor does it want any carrier
to be favored or penalized through
regulation or taxation. Fair laws,
fair taxes, and a regulatory policy
that applies equitably to all car
riers alike are the simple essentials
of a progressive and prosperous
transport industry.

then the primary duty of the State IS
to formulate a process whereby TINS
enlightened understanding may

the entire Social compact The process
by which this is done is through a well
organized and systematized program OF
instruction. The places where THIS
program is carried out are the lnst'tu'
tons of learning -the schools, the
Colleges. and the universities.
10 the Federal System OF Government
there is no national system OF eoucauoh.
This is left to each Sta'e, Territory, or
Possession 10 provide for the kind of

in the public schools. We have made
an attempt, though feeble one. TO care

means Of the school tuuches.
There is tendency of some OF our
citizens to curla the educational 2cuVS

Instead of curtailing or decreasing. these

We are here IN solemn attendance TO

sure with the intricate process of educa

aay why should the state demand an

is TO be found in the meaning of the

There are many defaitions of this

lowered her glance to the fragile blue
petals of the wild sweet william in
her hand. Jake Becker's flower shop
seemed something best cherished as

seemed to be some one best forgotten

shop-and his affections. There had
been a letter from her mother. too,
in the same mail, and after Rita
had read the messages from back
home she had flung herself across
the bed and wept with the wild aban-
don of desperately homesick child.
Dave" she announced now in a
low, tense voice, I'm going home
tomorrow-for while"
Because she closed her eyes to shut
out the vision of a drought-tortured
countryside, she failed to see the
shadow of anxiety that trailed across
Dawes fine, courageous face.
"What's the matter?" Dave asked
with a note of tenderness that was
lost in the rushing wind.
"Oh-nothing. I'm just sick Of
this drought and Dust" Rita's voice
quavered and her slender body sagged
wearily against grimy porch pillar.
"I'm tired of imagining that it is
silver. falling rain. I want to go
back home and see the real slant
down into fresh, green lawn; I
want to see flower pots glistening
In the sunlight. I want something
more than weather.

uttered.
Dave gazed duly at the sunset.
His big, rough hands lay motionless
upon his knees. After a while he
stirred uneasily.
Can I help it if it doesn't rain?"
he grumbled, drawing a hand across
his furrowed forehead in a gesture
OF gloom.
Rita turned toward him with a
flush of resentment staining her thin
cheeks.
Dave, your hands never used to
be too busy to, caress me-once in
q while. And now your eyes are
too tired from searching the sky for
rain clouds to notice when l put
