and with the internal revenue ia,
removed would be cheaper than
gasoline il the statements made il
its behalf are well founded. The
bill would also be a boon to the
northwest, as this section of the
country is in a position to supply a
large portion of The raw material
from which the alcohol is made, and
a ready and permanent market
would be created for the products of
the Dakotas. The Marshall bill

that there are immigrants and
immigrants, and that the induce

In case of war between Germany
and France, the later nation claims
to be able to mobilize 100000
trained soldiers on her German

S,000,0O0 of the finest men in the
world face to face and ready to
fight like tigers with the most ter.

bat he had always"been in the fore
ront of the fight. Furthermore, he
welt with emphasis upon his own
'ravery in two battles in Cuba that
fought the same day. At this
'oint some unfeeling and skeptical
'erson arose and asked the speaker
such a feat could have been
possible, seeing that the battles
eferred to had been fought at
'laces some 95 miles apart. The
lero' Immediately replied: "My
