Ab« 31. 1917 Entered second class matter at the post office at Moro, Oregon, July 25, 1891. .iE greatest bulwark against the indigence of old age or the financial drain caused by a protracted illness is a bank account. If you are a business man making big profits; if you are an employee with a fine salary, plan to lay aside a certain sum weekly. Then if the rainy day cornea along it will find you prepared. In times of stress you’ll find that your bank account is your friend. You can look the world in the eye. The man with a bank account looks better, feels better, is better than the man without a bank account. We transact all kinds of banking business. C. L. I reland ............. Manager.

This will cover supplies on the farms, in factories, and commercial stores and warehouses, in retail shops, and on the shelves and in the bins of the family pantry. The work will be carried on with funds ap propriated for the purpose in the recently enacted food production bill. The survey is to be made as of date August 31, and it is expected that statistics on the amounts of certain important products can be supplied within three or tour weeks after the food survey is begun.

Gasoline From Natural Gas You want for harvest field work in an 1 Statistics just completed by the United States Geological Survey show that during the year 1916 the quantity of raw gasoline ex tracted from natural gas, includ- g that produced by the com pression and absorption methods, as well as that obtained by the use of vacuum pumps and recovered as drips from gas-transmission lines, and sold in that year was 104,212,809 gallons, a gain of 59 per cent over the output in 1915. The quantity of commercial gaso line represented by this new pro cess, though not susceptible o f ac tual determination, was probably more than 200,000,000 gallons. The number of plants for ex tracting gasoline from natural gas increased from 414 at the begin ning of 1916’ to 594 at the end of the year, a gain of 43 per cent, whereas the combined daily ca pacity ot all plants increased about 108 per ¿rent.

The local exemption board had no report from the higher board before the list was certified to the com- manding officer and in several instances the action of the local board has been reversed. Those apply- ¡ng for exemption on agricultural grounds have been denied with two exceptions who, most likely, have not been passed upon by the district board. Fol- lowing is the list as certified.

These people will all positively be there, as the Round-Up never makes such an announcement until it is a sure thing. Indications are that the crowd will be up to normal. The seat sale opens September 1, and the advance sale is already above 1915^. In an intensely interesting illus trated article in the September Popular Mechanics Magazine is described various more or less in genious but always diabolical con trivances that the Germans have lately made a practice of leaving in trenches from which they have been driven by the allies on the western front. ________ In a recent issue the Oregon Voter says that it is very import ant we ele^t fjrst-plasa men to the legislature next year.

The Medal-Wining Baking Powder Crescent Baking Powder has two leavening actions. Most baking pow ders have but one. Crescent Baking Powder has nearly 15 per cent leaven ing power. This is from one-fifth to - __ one-fourth more than most baking powders have. Purity hasn’t been sacrificed to ob tain this remarkable efficiency. No bak ing powder is purer or more wholesome than Crescent. In re cognition of its mark ed superiority it was awarded t h e Gold Medal at the Panama Pacific Exposition. 25c buys a full pound.
