As it pertains to a native young lady of Heppner, we are sure it will prove of interest to many of our leaders: The Sliedd postollice is becoming a regular matrimonial resort. For the :Ha1 time a young lady employed iu that office has been marked by Cupid. Thursday afternoon Rev. Stanley Van Winkle, w ho is postmaster at Sliedd, was hurriedly summoned from his pr.rsor.age to tho postollice. He ex pected to find trouble, but was in formed that a marriage ceremony was all that was wanted. Miss Elaine Freeland, assistant in the office, and John F. Merritt, of Albany, - re wnlMns and in a few minutes they were united in matrimony. Mrs. 11,1-itH is a daughter of Mrs. Inez Freeland, principal of the Shedd schools, and both she and Mr. Merritt are well known young people of Linn county. The place is now vacant and an op portunity is afforded for some other maid who wishes to follow in the footsteps of her predecessors. plant tins year will receive 15 cents a sheep and their board. This was decided at a meeting of the shearers .this week, when they unanimously agreed to accept tha same scale for their work that was in force a year ago. During the past few years tho pay for shearing has mora, than doubled. In 1916 the men received 3 Vs cents a sheep and had to pay their own board. The following year the scale jumped to 12 cents and the shearers paid for their board. Last year a bir war time increase was put into 8!:e;t, the rate going up to 15 cents a sheep and board furnished by the plant. As the cost of board under pre-war conditions amounted to just about a cent a sheep on the average, this price is equivalent to about 17 cents, or twice the li)16 scale.- Echo News. milo.

Sheep shearers at the big Echo rmsm: A Standard Test for S3 Ti e The third of a series of three statements War needs mads prominent the question of a standard test for gasoline. On July Zl-t, 10W, President Wilson ordered a committee appointed under the United' , Ptu'1 Aomi':ijiratioi: to establish specifications and standards of test for gas oline supi'i.'-cl to the Government. This committee consisted cf the United States Fuel Ach! ;istraticn and representatives of the Var ;nd Navy Departments, the United Sta.es Shipping Board, the Director General of Railroads, the Bureau of Hir.cs. yrul -:.ho Bureau cf Standards. Standards were adopted for aviation gasoline (export, fighting and domestic) and for general motor use on land and sea. The Gravity Test Discarded The Government's Committee cn Standardi zation of Petroleum Spccifkr.tions stated in its report : '"It will bo noted that there are no grav ity limitations in the specif, filers for aviation gase'ine, nor in the spectcr;ienis for motor gaso'ine which crc given l?tcr. for it his been four..-! ;l.t gravity is of little or no value in de-tcr-nininw ti- qtniity cf g?.cc!ir." Tho i'cand- ar. Ici-'tc-i". by the United States Government are based on boiling points. Eoilbp Points the Real Test c Gasoline is known to the refiner as -one mem ber of the petroleum family. He distinguishes each member of the family, not by gravity, but by boiling points. Gravity is a fleeting stand ard of lest, but boiling points are unchanging in their value and always determine the quality of the product. Knowing them the refiner can keep his product uniform and reliable. What Is a Boiling Point? A boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid will begin to boil or vaporize. In distilling a given quantity of gasoline the refiner ascertains at what point each 10 per cent will boil, until the entire quantity is evap orated or distilled. In this way he determines what is known as the initial boiling point, as well as all intervening boiling points in the chain, up to the maximum, high boiling point. Boiling Points Tell the Story Boiling points determine the vaporizing and combustive qualities of gasoline. They decide the action of the gas developed from gasoline. They are the only true measure of gasoline value. An ideal gasoline has boiling points in a con tinuous, uniform chain. There must not be too many low boiling points, otherwise the loss in storage by evaporation would be great. There must be just enough low boiling points to va porize freely and give easy starting. The higher boiling points are necessary for quick accelera tion, high power and long mileage. As combustion starts with the lowest boiling points and flr.dies on thiough the gas, the con tinuous chain of boiling points from the low to the high is necessary for instantaneous, full-powered combustion. Only a straight-distilled, all-refinery gasoline can have the contin uous, uniform chain of boiling points. The United States Government Standard Specifications for Gasoline The United States Government standard specifications for gasoline are based on boiling points not gravity. Drafted as they were by impartial Government experts, they are gener ally considcrcd.in the light of conditions today, as the most practical standard for gasoline. They insure an efficient and Satisfactory gaso line and at the same time have due regard for the best utilization of our petroleum resources, and the maintenance of reasonable prices to the consumer. Red Crown Gasoline Conforms to United States Government Standard All Red Crown gasoline now being supplied in the Pacific Coast States is refined to con form to the United States Government Stand- ard specifications. It is straight-distilled, all refinery gasoline having thefull, uniform chain of boiling points necessary for full-powered, dependable gasoline : Low boiling points for easy starting, medium boiling points for quick, smooth acceleration, and high boiling points for power and mileage.
