It is merely a ment of fact, and is not colored by oinion or attempts to draw lesson therefrom. So plainly does it illustrate the disastrous effect The weed test, in a recent issue Said the News-Miner: Effective today, because of freight rates on the Alaska Railroad, wholesale price of gasoline at the local Stan- dard Oil Company station was raised 4 cents and compete with t: increased of weeds is good ev the | | responsible for this. to 27% cents. The raise was made by Harry Grub, local agent, on instructions from Seattle. Stanaco aviation gas costs 9% cents more wholesale today than it did yesterday. The present price is 36 cents a gallon. The retail price of gasoline is again 35 cents & gallon, the price in effect before the re- | cent cut in prices of petroleum products | was made by the Standard Oil. The increase in Pearl oil is 6% cents a gallon and for Elaine kerosene 5 cents. | Fuel oil is 4 cents higher, all grades of lubricating oil 6 cents and greases 3 cents per pound. Ordinary gasoline at the Standard Oll station is selling at $3.85 per case in five case lots. The former price was $3.45 per case. Aviation gasoline, $3.75 a case yester- day in five case lots, is today $4.70. During the past week or more there has been a heavy run on all the company's products in anticipation of increasing prices. The above increases in prices represent only the higher freight tariff. However, should former prices on gasoline be re- stored there would be a further increase of 4 or 5 cents a gallon, which would put the price at around 40 cents per gallon. | Should Senator Hess’s gasoline tax bill go through another cent would be added and approval of his sales tax would mean another 15 cent of the total cost. The wholesale price at Seward remains at 15 cents per gallon, Gasoline is only one of the primary articles of their lot elsewhere. and district. | —have made long s lare stin, men do.” men. commerce which has been enhanced in value by Coal was similarly affected anc 3 _ |in as large a measure.

There is no place anywhere that will so richly reward the home gardener than in this community “But She’s a Woman.” (New York World-Telegram.) Since 1862, when the first woman was put on the payroll of the Federal Government, women workers— ‘and the policies of the Government as an employer trides forward. There are now 89,000 women on the Federal payroll, and they are guaranteed by law equal pay | with men for equal work, and the opportunity to " participate in all civil service examinations. ‘i Although this is true, Miss Mary Anderson, Di- rector of the Women's Bureau of the Department || — of Labor, says that “women in Uncle Sam’s employ in many instances, discriminated against |in appointments despite definite proof of their | ability to perform many types of work as well as Changed economic conditions have made it im- perative that women work.
