The Gasoline Engines Advantage


While the steam engine has proven
a reliable power and is extensively
used, there are many objections to it
for the use of the farmer, blacksmith,
small manufacturer, miner and for
small boats and vehicles. 1t con-
sumes a large amount of fuel for the
power actually used; it requires some
one to fire the boiler and an engineer
of experience to operate the engine. 1t
takes time and fuel to get up steam
and when the work is finished, what
ever steam and fire are left on hand
are a total waste. The steam en-
CINE, on account of the danger OF
fire, makes it very unsafe to use
around farm buildings, therefore many
other kinds of power have been de
vised and used such as horse power,
both sweep and tread, the windmill,
hot air engine, electricity, etc. all of
which having their Objectionable fea-
ures come short of fulfilling require
mentS.
The sweep power, on account OF the
large amount of room necessary to
operate it, must generally be used
outdoors and only in pleasant weather.
and requires a driver for the horses
The tread power is very hard work
and ruinous to the muscles of the
horse. The gasoline engine, therefore
came at an oportune time, and is now
rapidly superseding all other forms of
power. The cost of power obtained
from it is less than from any other
source, and it has proven a satisfac-
tory and convenient power for all
uses. 1t requires no expense when

waters, private company or person
will be allowed to store water for use
upon the lands to be covered by its
canal system, but the storage of water
for sale is not allowed. The control of
all storage works and the regulation
and the flow therefrom is placed under
the control of the state engineer and
the division water commissioner. The
selection of storage sites and the con-
struction of the storage works are sub
iect to the supervision of the state
engineer. This officer may refuse
permit for any storage plan if it be
contrary to the public interest to grant
it. "And in determining the question
of public interest, the engineer shall
take into consideration the future
maximum utilization of the storage
site and the fullest practicable future
development of irrigation in that
drainage area.
For example, if there are four lakes

stream system, No. 1 being the only site
for the storage of water that coulo

The Commencement Spirit.

From the Indianapolis News.
Every year sees the commencement period
taking to itself greater Importance and
larger acclaim. and when 1t is considered
how large a proportion-something like a
ffth-of our entire population Is enrolled in
school and college It is no wonder that the
ending of the scholastic year should be a
marked event OF course we think OF COM
mencement more especially with reference
to the higher institutions Of learning,
though more and more the secondary
schools are making the graduating time an
occasion of ceremonial distinction.
To the college man and woman the very
word commencement calls up a world OF
thoughts. of memories, of associations. 1t
Is simple word d common word. In its
familiar, everyday usage 1t is constantly on
our lips. But when we speak 1t with ref
erence to school or college life the mystic
chords of memory II we be older grown;
the lear ping aspirations Of our day dreams,
IL we still be looking forward to this glori-
fed time are set tingling with delicious
resonance. 1t Is common way with
words. They become drenched with mean
ing. charged with overtones,
STEPPED through with tears of triumph and remorse.
Sweet with all sainthood, cleansed In martyr fires.
till to the sensitive soul they bring visions
of apocalyptic wonder, or start trains of
thought that encompass the world In their
fight. Utter the word "hemlock,'' and the
life and work of Socrates of whom his
stupid age was not worthy rises into your
consciousness; speak of Magma Charta and
the Declaration of Independence. and the
heart thrills and glows with the sense Of
the struggle for constitutional liberty. for
which we bless our fathers. SO, in SINH
lar way, not of course In important a
sense, but to an intimate and touching de-
gree, to all that share or have had part
in the higher education the word com
mencement' has the wizard quality of the
"open sesame"
And the wonder of this word is its SEEM
ing inapplicability. Why. indeed. should we
speak of this ending time as commence
ment? OF course We know how historf
cally 1t came about. But there is SUBJ
tiler and more satisfying justifca ton of
the MISREPRESENTATION that appeals to the
deeper philosophy of life. Life, If we live
Alright, Is but series Of commandments
Every day is fresh beginning,
Every morn Is a world made new,
sings the poet Every achievement is but
the vantage ground for new endeavor If
men stop going on, they do not stand
still, they fall back; slightly. It may be-
but steadily.

of the members will be leaving for their

No other work Is to be done by the COM

will be somewhat comprehensive in their
nature. covering the personnel OF the de-
