Gas-making oils that for twenty or more years have been procurable at prices ranging from two . and one-half cents to five cents per gallon have- shot up to fifteen and twenty cents per gallon. The gas manufacturers who are tied to municipal contracts are trying to find a way out of the tragic dilemna. They recognize that in their com- petition with the automotive industry they gre out- distanced. As a result several gas companies ‘throughout the country, that were unable to bear their new burdens, have been compelled to suspend opera- tions. The gas industry evidently cannot pay the new costs for fuel, and at the same time continue the old rates. The condition means that the gas companies must have higher rates, just as neces- PRESS COMMENTS—THAT'S ALL (By EXCRANGE EDITOR) A Stiff Upper Lip.

And still there are local gas consumers who wonder why the Bemidji Gas company asked for an increase in rates. The fact is that the increase already granted is not as much as the company deserves under the circumstances. itk o R ) STOP BURNING. UP HOMES. The housing problem is one of the great issues of the day. All unnecessary “construction was for- bidden during the war, and now that the restric- tions have been withdrawn the high prices of ma- terials and labor and industrial troubles have tended to reduce the amount of building. In many in- dustrial centers newcomers are unable to get houses to live in, rents have gone up, and the situa- tion has become so.serious that state and municipal_ commissions are seeking a solution. _ Why not stop ‘burning up the existing buildings, if -there are not enough to go around and more cannot be built under existing conditions? Thou- sands of homes are burned each month, most of them through carelessness. If housing is so im- portant, if homes are so hard to find, why not be careful with those that ‘we have? Apply fire pre- vention methods. Be careful about matches, smok- ing, lighting and heating- apparatus and gasoline. Clear out the rubbish, inspect the flues, watch the shingle roofs. Conservation is the order of the day, and if the storage of dwellings™ will cause householders to be careful about the fire hazards of their homes one criminal cause of that shortage will be greatly reduced. Next week-is fire prevention week for Bemidji and will be concluded with a special program for National Fire Prevention Day, but do not let the clean-up spirit stop at this point.. Keep your " buildings and premises cleaned up at all times. It will help prevent unnecessary loss of life and prop- erty. ¢ Nowadays. This is the new procedure Since it has precious grown: .
