LARGEST PAPER IN POLK COUNTY, THE INDEPENDENCE ENTERPKISE. PAGE - i i - i ; 1 1 i f -j The w ar an a i our laasomie TTie rsf" or" a series of three statements For obvious reacons the following facts of interest to the public could not be published during the war. They affected a vitr.l vcs necessity regarding which the Government required secrecy. But nov that the war is won, we are at liberty to make the following statement of facts: Highly volatile gasoline for fighting aeroplanes was one of the war needs. The output of this special gasoline by all the refineries east of the Rocky Mountains was not enough, soCalifor- nia was called upon to furnish a large part of the supply. At the request of the United States Government the Pa cific Coast Petroleum War Service Committee apportioned California's quota among such of the large refiners as were able to make this special gaso line. xThe Standard 00 Company, being the largest of these, had. the greatest quota to fill. , We were glad to do' our part.- We supplied more than our quo ' ta of aviation gasoline. Aeroplane engines, operating hih in the air under conditions of extreme cold and rarefied atmosphere, require a different gasoline from engines operat ing on the ground. In fact, the needs arg so special that the gasoline manu factured for aeroplane use (often used at altitudes of from 20,CO0 to 25,000 . feet) would be utterly indifferent for use in automobile .or cher interr.?! combustion engines operated on land or sea. Aviation gasoline has to be highly volatile. It must vaporize rapidly even in the extreme cold of very high alti tudes. Qn its rapid vaporization alone' rnust often depend the lives of the men in the aeroplane. This gasoline would not be good for general use. It would lack power on the ground, its loss in , storage by evaporation would be great, and it would be expensive. Making, aviation gasoline for the Government took a very considerable part of the low boiling point or highly volatile constituents of the crude oil, and, as a result, the gasoline left avail able for reguhr use lacked those quali ties which assure easy starting of the automobile engine. The Government's demand for avi ation gasoline reached its maximum in the late fall of 3,918, and then for a peri od of about six weeks the deficiency of Red Crown gasoline in low boiling point constituents or easy - starting qualities was most apparent. Now that the war is won and the great demand for aviation gasoline has ceased, we are again able to offer the same grade of Red Crown gasoline as formerly, with the same full and con tinuous chain of boiling points from the low to the high which is necessary for eaiy starting, quick and smooth acceleration, high power and long mileage.

Fordson Tractor Facts and Figures Ford Ten Years . -1 SIMPLE LIKE THE FOURTH DIMENSION. Almost anybody, except the farmer, can settle the most important food, problems, off hand. Any city editor can prove that milk.prices are outrag . ous, and that bacon should come from the fabled golden calf instead of a mere hog; considering the price it is sell ing for. BUT it really is not so simple as it looks. One wouldn't imagine that milk, cheese, butter, bacon, 1 1 1 f . 1 i t - ' ... 7 7 iara, nam iresn porK, sausage, condensed milk, veal and ice cream all must advance materially when the nation goes to eating whole wheat breadt But the family patent flour, that used seventy per cent of the wheat and left thirty per cent as bran and shorts, gave the dairymen, the cattle feeders, the hog raisers a concentrated, cheap winter feed that was the mainstay of these industries. Along comes.the war, and 100 per cent wheat fiour,and no mill feed, or else mill feed at 100 per cent advance. At one fell swoop the dairy interests, the hog growers, and likewise the big poultry plants, faced a 100 per cent boost in their winter feed bills, and the result has been that the breedinsr stock of the countrv has hppn f the packers this winter, and no matter how low feed prices drop the price for dairy products and for po-d-s anri tor pork will stay up because here will be more demand than supply. The much cursed patent flour, and the much scorned by health advisors, white bad was the mainstay that preserved cheap milk, butter, eggs and pork products to this nation m the wintertime. Almost any dairyman knew this. So did the millers. , But they, were not running the legal machinery, nor fixing flour standards and prices.
