NORTH DAKOTA AFFORDS
THOUSANDS OF AUTOMOBILES

During the summer time in North
Dakota the country and city roads
are dotted with automobiles speeding
here and there, somewhat in the
same manner as the bicycle was un-
iversally utilized several years ago.
In many parts of the country the
bubble" is regarded as plaything
for the rich, but the rapid strides
commercially and socially in this state
have made the use of the automobile
necessity rather than luxury. The
travelling man uses the machine as
means of rapid transit between
towns which otherwise he would have
to pass up on account Of inadequate
railroad facilities. The farmer finds
it much to his advantage to have a
machine stalled around the place and
every real estate nan has small
livery stable for housing of his autos.
The banker and the business man, the
preacher and the college professor
all unite in saying that the automobile
had proved great boon for North
Dakota.

vANDALs KNOWN TO FAME.
Celebrated Artists Have Destroyed
Their Own Creations.

1t is perhaps but natural that men
and women OF genius should desire
that the best OF their works only
should live after them, and for this
reason many celebrated artist has
destroyed his own pictures. When
Hogarth was almost at the height of
his fame he painted an interior which
was somewhat severely criticised by
a friend. The artist acknowledged the
business of the criticism, and when
his frank friends had left the studio he
took a sharp knife and deliberately cut
the canvas in two and then threw
the pieces into the coal scuttle. There
they were found the following day by
one of the maids, VINO took the pieces
home.
Some time afterward the story of the
ruined picture reached the ears of a
relative of Hogarth's, who thereupoL
went to the maid and asked her to sell
him the pieces. She agreed to do so,
but when she went to look for them
one half had vanished. Search was
made and inquiries instituted, but
with no result, and the relatives had
to be content with half the picture,
which is now in the possession of
Hogarth's descendants.
Hogarth was but one of many artist.
who have in fit Of discomfort des-
troyed their own works. Jules Flam-
meron, in an interesting article on the
life of the late sculptor, Gerome, tells
how the great artist had been work.
ing for many weeks on an ideal group
symbolizing the birth of spring, when
he suddenly became convinced that his
treatment of the subject was wrong,
and with one blow of his clinched hand
he reduced the graceful group to a
mere mass of Inert clay"
Chartran, the famous French por-
trait painter, once destroyed pic
ture for which he was to receive S.
900. The portrait was that of an Am
erican woman famous for her beauty.
| When the picture was nearing COM
| pletion the husband of the woman
called at NJ. Chartran's studio in Paris
and requested to be shown the por-
trait. After looking at it for a few
moments he declared that it was a
very beautiful painting and that the
coloring was superb, but that it no
more resembled his wife than it did
the Empress of China.
Chartran merely bowed, laid down
his brush and then, taking out his
penknife, deliberately slashed the pic
ture into ribbons before the eyes of
his astonished visitor and showed him
the door. The sequel to the story cam.
out later, when it became known that
the millionaire husband had visited
the studio for the express purpose of
getting the artist to make reduction
in his price.

CAN CONDUCT STILLS
Senator Hansbrough's Bill
Would Let Farmers Run
Distilleries.
(Hillis G. Gill.)

Washington, Dec. 27-An amendment
fered in the Senate today by Senator
Hansbrough, of North Dakota, which
if adopted promises to revolutionize
the production of denatured alcohol
and accomplish the end sought by the
enactment of last session, an end that
law has so far failed to attain. When
Congress passed the Free Alcohol act
of last session, it supposed it was maxi
ing it possible for farmers throughout
the country to convert their waste
products, most of which are so con-
yertible, into denatured alcohol, which
they could utilize to run thrasher en-
gines, pump water, and produce other
power at home, or else store it and
finally sell to those in need of material
for power, heat or lighting purposes.
When, however, the experts of the
Department of Agriculture came to an
alyze the bill, they found that it would
do nothing of the kind. 1t might ul-
timately result in somewhat cheaper
fuel for owners of automobiles and
those who make business of pro-
ducing power, but there was, accord
ing to DR.. Wiley, of the Bureau of
Chemistry, nothing which would make
it practicable for any one to produce
alcohol unless they made business
of it, and conducted a still which will
produce from seven to ten gallons
day. 1t is to remedy this situation and
achieve the purpose which prompted
most members of Congress to vote for
last years law that Senator Hans
brough has devised and introduced the
amendment offered today.
The Senator found that in Germany
farmers conduct small stills on their
own farms, and so convert their waste
products into alcohol, which, on its
being denatured, they are free to make
such use of as they may see fit To
accomplish this end, the farmer erects
his still and then sends for the rev.
enue officer, who attaches Con-
tainer" made according to govern
ment regulations. The revenue official
seals the container, and into it goes
all the alcohol distilled, the producer
being unable to touch the distilled
product without breaking the seal, for
which there is, of course, a heavy pen
atty. When the producer finds his still
practically full, he calls the revenue
officer, who detaches the container
gauges and measures it's contents,
witnesses the process of denaturing,
and then permits the producer to de-
vote his product to any purpose he
chooses.
Senator Hansbrough believes that

state has reached enormous prOpor-
tons and when it is considered that
every little hustling burg in the wide
domain of the state has its machines
fitting around its corners. giving Il
metropolitan appearance. this heavy
sale is nothing remarkable. Grand
Forks alone issues licenses annually
to half hundred machines ranging
from the tiny one-man affair to the
big three-seater with its high back
and 1000 candle-power head lights.
Fargo has like number and Valley
City, Bismark. Minot and other towns
have number IN proportion to the
population. The little cl.!' Of Ken
mare on the 500. with its 1900 peo-
pie affords twenty-five machines.
The roads of North Dakota are we'll
adapted to the use of automobiles and
for this reason the sale of machines
will increase for years to come. Even
after a heavy rain the autos can be
seen wading along as though the wa,
was as smooth as a paved street. The
automobile has evidently come to stay

Holiday Gifts.

Holiday Gifts.
Why do you look so downcast?
What do l hear you say?
Nothing to give to people
On Christmas or New Years Day."
You want to be making presents;
Well, now, just think a while,
Suppose you look in the glass, dear,
And present yourself with SMILE
Then make up bundle of troubles
And give them away to the Past,
He owns such a croony junkshop.
Where WORKOUT worries are cast,
Just bundle them onto the Old Year
And let him lug them away,
And next give heart Of hope, dear,
To the New Year blithe and gay.
And then give praise to the best things
In the people you meet this year;
You may be surprised at the goodness
You'll find if you look, my dear.
And when you are hurt by the folly
Or faults of the folks you know,
Just toss them bit of your patience
And word of pity or so.

But perhaps the most dramatic case

But perhaps the most dramatic case
of an artist destroying his own work
occurred in New York, when Gutzon
Borgium, the we'll known sculptor rose
early one morning and made his way
to the Belmont chapel of the Cathe-
dral of St. John the Divine on Morn
ingside Heights and broke to pieces
his two statues, colossal in their pro-
portions, representing the Angel of the
Annunciation and the Angel of Resur.

The cause of this remarkable act
was due to the sculptor having been
severely criticised for conceiving and
executing these statues as beautiful

the existing law can benefit only the
trusts" the alcohol and the wood
alcohol makers, but that by the adop-
ton of the amendment he offered to-
day the production of denatured
alcohol and the utilization of many
waste products which are now lost,
will be placed within the reach of
every farmer who tills any consider
able amount of land, and that where
one farmer has not sufficient wastage
to operate a still, several farmers can
combine in its operation, and thus
derive the benefit of the law. While
it is regarded as probable that certain
interests will oppose the amendment,
the Senator from North Dakota be-
lieves that most members of Con-
gress intended to do last year just
what this amendment will accomplish
and for that reason expects that it
will receive generous support.

excited reporters he said that he felt
like a murderer, but that it was the
only thing he could do under the Cir
cumstances. Mr.. Borgium took away
with him the heads of the two angels
and one foot, which he intends to
keep as souvenirs.
