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,

they were united in matrimony. Mrs.

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

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.

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.
