Judging from a letter which ap peared this week in the Oregon Voter, Prof. M. S. Pittman still spells RURAL SCHOOLS with capital letters. Prune men are profiting by these pleasant days in the process of pruning their prune trees. ' As for the water situation dur ing the past week, there are still a few incorrigibles who were able to retain enough surplus sense of humor to crack jokes about it. If the Sinn Feiners ever get con. trol of Ireland the Emerald Isle migh( as well be staged and set to music. The effect should be just about as diverting for the spectators as a comic opera, although rather tough on the people who have to live with the actors. Come to think about it, Cuba is entitled to a place at the peace ta ble. She was one of the indepen. dent powers to declare war. At the table, she could furnish some of her justly celebrated tobacco with which to keep the peace pipe supplied. Considerable heat of temper was displayed during the time our water system was disarranged but they who did the perspiring were the people in charge of the operations.- Have you learned to write it 1919. With two whole days gone, the Monmouth hotel has not changed hands in 1919. Thanks to the liberty bond issues, the"average family has not bwn im poverished, but rather enriched by the war. Many have money luid aside who would not otherwise have done so. It appears to take just about as long to get peace terms signed up as it did to fight the war to a suc cessful termination. Now in the time of New Year resolutions, we suggest a few aims toward which the city might strive during the coming year. An emergency water supply. A pipe line laid to Independence might be one way of securing this. A concerted effort to keep our streets clean and with an adequate wearing surface. A through line of alleys on both side of Main street in the business district. Cheaper water that would enable all to keep lawns green in the summer-time without prohibitive ex pense. Completion of paving in the city to connect with paving to Indepen dence and Dallas. The adoption by charter amend ment of a financial system that will cause general running expenses to keep within the amount annually placed in the general fund and the creation of a separate fund to care for special expenses. Renewed vigilance and diligence in that age old task of keeping the city picked up and in presentable condition. From the contradictory "nature of the reports and the general inconse quential character of the mass of the correspondence that gets intb the daily papers from Europe, the enterprising representatives of the press abroad are getting hard pressed to supply their regular amount of reading matter. New Substitute For Gasoline WELCOME, 19191 Nineteea-Nineteen, welcome I Oh, I'm glad you've cornel Though you're yet a myiteiy Tongue duaeetly dumb.' Nineteen-Eighteen, scurrying!

What may be the solution of the problem of finding a cheaper and more efficient substitute for gasoline has been announced by Major Oliver B. Zimmerman and Captain E. C. Weisgerber of the gas and oil divi sion, with the permission of the War Department. This announcement that a substitute has a last been found is made definitely and without qualification, and it is stated that in a very near future the substi tute, called Liberty fuel, will be manufactured fur the open market. In making it Captain Weisgerber says he fully realizes that all previ ous efforts along this line have fail ed; that every previous announce ment, has fallen short of the mark, and that consequently hia state ment is going to be challenged from a thousand sources by incredulous experts everywhere. Exhaustive tests have been carried on with air planes, motorcycles, automobiles, trucks, etc., all under Government supervision, and the substitute can be used by the automobilists in place of gasoline without any change in the carburetor and with out any detrimental effects on the car. It can be produced in quan tity for less than half the cost of gasoline, gives more mileage per gallon, greater speed, has less heating effect'on the lubricating oil than gasoline and starts easier The substitute is in liquid form manufactured by a still process, composed of commodities which are now a drug on the market and which are plentiful enough to assure supplies to meet the future demands. The formula is a'secret in the hands of the general engine ering depot and the inventor. The cost of manufacture is said to be 40per centlower than that of mak ing gasoline. In the tests by Army officers, mainly conducted by Captain Weis gerber, the new fuel, was used in a passenger car, motorcycle, airplane, tractor and truck in comparison with gasoline. In the tests by the bureau of standards at the labora tories it was used in a class B truck engine and a 150-horse power His- pano-Suiza airplane engine in com parison with gasoline. Used on a passenger car the fuel drove the car 174 miles per gallon as against 9 miles per gallon on gasoline, and increased the speed from 47 to 69 miles per hour. In a hydroplane with the engine at 1600 revolutions per minute the plane remained in the air 22 rr.in utes longer on 10 gallons of gaso line. A Harley-Davidson motor cycle was driven 28,000 miles In severe" tests and showed no corro sive action and no carbon. Weigh ing 693 pounds with its load the motorcycle journeyed 256 miles without adjustments on 4.66 gal lons of Liberty fuel, consuming 11 quarts of lubricating oil, averaging 55 miles per gallon. The average speed was 22.fi miles per hour. Used with gasoline over the same route and at the same speed the motorcycle averaged 32,18 miles per gallon and consumed 4 quarts of oil. A Garford 3-ton truck weighing 7373 pounds with its load averaged 10.4 miles per gallon with Liberty fuel over 232 miles, used 2 gallons of water in the radiator and consumed 2 quarts of lubricating oil, or 103.1 miles per quart. The journey was made at a speed of from 9 to 12 miles per hour, the lower speed during rain. With gasoline the truck averaged' 6.37 miles per gallon, consuming 45 gal lons of gasoline, used 8J gallons of water in the radiator and 41 quarts of lubricating oil at the rate of 63.6 miles per quart of oil. The truck easily traveled the Cumberland dis trict mountains on Liberty fuel, and failed to'do this with gasoline, In the report of tests of the Lib erty fuel by the bureau of stan dards signed by W. S. Stratton, chief of the bureau, it was stated that three grades of the fuel were submitted marked "type A", "type B"and "Liberty fuel", the first two being for passenger, cars the the third for airplane consumption I I The War is at an End Why do without things for the house any longer?

We have no particular de sire to contradict anything which the JUNIORS have asserted for the simple reason that we do not consid er their statements worth refuting. We will even go so far as to grant them that they may well be at the back of the inspiring "PEP" which has manifested itself in the student- body meetings of school year '18 '19; said "PEP" looks just about like the general run of things they do.. Be this as it may, the JUNIORS certainly have one or two enter hrising young authors, whose tal ent should be devoted to bigger things. By conscientious practice in the arts, they may at some fu ture time become very successful in some other form of occupation. When they do , let them tell us about it; atjpresent we will content ourselves by reading their monthly report cards, which determine for us the brilliancy of the JUNIORS, and give us alt necessary informa tion concerning them. The JUNIORS evidently believe in the . old adage, that "He who tooteth not his own horn, the same shall not be tooted". Respectfully submitted by the Seniors.
