DENATURED ALCOHOL
Superior for Heating and Cheaper
than Gasoline

A bill has been introduced in con-
gress providing for the removal OF
internal revenue or denatured alcohol
so that it may be manufactured for
domestic use at as low price as pos
sible. The bill was introduced by
representative Marshall, who in reply
to question as to what uses denatured
alcohol could be put, and the extent to
which it would be used said:
"Denatured alcohol can be used for
fuel in the way gasoline is now used
as fuel, and for illumination in the
way that petroleum now is. Gallon
for gallon it contains more heat than
gasoline, and possesses the additional
advantage that it can be used with
almost absolute safety, there being no
danger Of its explosion. This is an
important feature and one which
would commend it to many who would
avail themselves of the gasoline stove
for cooking purposes were itnot for the
uduSCi VI VIC diiCSCu uduSCh deeChudhe
on the use of gasoline in cooking.
"It could also be carried by rail-
roads and otherwise transported with
out the danger attendant upon the
transportation of gasoline and could
also be stored without precautions now
taken with this latter article. This
latter ] think an important advantage
in favor of denatured alcohol"
As to the materials used in the pro-
duction of denatured alcohol, Mr..
Marshall said:
"It can be made from any grain or
fruit which for any reason are unfit
for food purposes. Overripe grain,
immature grain, frosted corn, and
many ether farm products and by
products otherwise unfit for market or
consumption as food could be utilized.
According to figures which Mr..
Marshall will present to the committee
denatured alcohol can be produced to
sell at ~ to 10 cents per gallon, and it
could thus take the place OF gasoline
which sells at about these figures. 1t
is interesting to note in this connec-
tion that the supply OF gasoline is de-
clining in proportion to the appear
ance OF satisfactory substitute about
the same time.

LOCAL PAPER OF VALUE
Many Times Its Price Saved by
Examining the Advertisements

Recently when subscriber paid
his annual subscription to the local
paper he remarked: 81 have invested
money in live stock, real estate, mort
cages, and stock companies, but / had
never invested a dollar from which l
receive better returns than that which
/ pay each year for subscription.
That's fact. l always consider the
ads the best part of the paper, and |
find that it's dollars in my pockets to
read them and take advantage OF the
bargains they offer. This fall / have
saved at least hundred dollars by
watching the prices in the ads and
buying big supply of goods at prices
that would make Sears -Roebuck and
the rest of that bunch 60 out OF busi-
ness. Put me down for another years

Splendid Attraction Promised

The Chase-Lister company opened
its week engagement at the Grand last
night with the presentation of the
popular comedy drama "The Little
Princess" the performance being
witnessed by crowd which occupied
every seat and called out the sign,
standing Room Only" 1t was the
largest audience seen at the Grand this
season. The play was pert comedy,
with an interesting plot, well worked
out to good climaxes and of course
happy conclusion. The situations
are full of smiles and at times emotion
al. The members of the Company are
old friends in Watertown and many OF
them enjoy a personal acquaintance
here. Clint and Bessie Robbins are at
its head and are as clever as ever,
Leonard Goodale, strong in villiany,
is also an old friend in this city, Harry
Bott is an artist as is also Philip
Macklem, Miss Nahum Merrill shows
many OF the finer stage graces, and
last evening gave artistic touches to
her role that won her much admira-
ton. Laurel Bennett is another lady
of ability. In "Little Bacile" Mana
ger Chase has child artist Of only
five years, but clever and precocious,
who last evening, carried the large
audience away by the easy natural
manner in which she gave her long
part. Clint and Bessie Robbins gave
a happy and langhable two role farce
with specialties, doing the turn ex-
celIent. The performance was strong
one for a repertoire Co.-Watertown

will hold forth at the Grand February
19-20-21st and will undoubtedly do a
big business as they are very popular
with Brookings patrons OF the Grand.

SEvERLY INJURED
Thos. Biggar Trampled Under Foot
While Milking

Yesterday morning it was reported
here that Thos. Biggar, OF Trenton
township, had been seriously injured.
From what could be learned it is sup
posed Mr.. Biggar was milking and as
his cows are crowded pretty close in
their stalls one of the cows must have
kicked him and he fell underneath
the animals, and was trampled upon.
A physician was summoned from
Aurora who made the injured man as
comfortable as possible and it is hoped
he may soon recover.
Mr.. Biggar has been very unfortu.
nate OF late, having been badly hurt
several times in various ways.

OPENING THE CAMPAIGN
Hon. Coe. 1. Crawford Well Received
at V0lga

4 special coach load, including the,
city band went to Volga Saturday evepE
ing to listen to the opening speech /of
the campaign delivered by Hon. Coe.
l. Crawford, of Huron.
Owing to the stormy weather a large
number of farmers who were expecting
to remain in town to hear the speech
were obliged to return home before
dark. The night was blustery, but the
opera house was we'll filled and Mr..
Crawford could not we'll complain of
lack OF enthusiasm nor that his re-
marks did not receive careful atten-
ton.
As the citizens committee, composed
OF A. p. Allen, editor of the Tribune,
Alex Nyn,an and "Nick" Hymes
escorted MIR. Crawford to the platform
the audience gave them hearty greet
ing. Alex Nyman acted as chairman
and called for music from the band
after which Mr.. Nyman in a few, we'll
chosen words, introduced the speaker
of the evening.
Without STOPPING to abusive per-
sonalities Mr.. Crawford outlined the
reasons why he was not in harmony
with the methods employed by certain
members of the Republican party and
his explanation of;,"ring rule" how it
was made possible, and what it meant
if the party and the people allowed
those practices to continue, had telling
effect on his audience.
He spoke OF how the primary petition
was killed and why. Displayed the
disgusting features of the new caucus
law which had been forced upon the
people as a substitute to the primary
system of nomination. Referred ex-
tensively to the continuous chain
which was formed by the machine
from township caucus to the halls OF
congress and declared that the people
ought to have the power to break this
chain attachment to the machine
and would have had if the bosses had
not stifled the primary bill.
Philo Hall was called for and re.
sponded briefly, excusing himself ow-
ing to the lateness of tho hour. At.
torney j. G. Jenkins was also demand.
ed and stated that his sympathies were
with anti-machine faction OF the Re-
publican party and that he would as
sist them in their efforts, having fol
years been a believer in the primary
election law and realizing that the
wish of the masses had been trodder
under foot by those having control O
the destinies of the party in power.

and Carl Nielsen Rabcn the violinist.
Carl Nielsen Raben showed himself to
be master of the violin. His rapid
changes from the irregular and swift
ly varying passages to long -draWn-out
notes of sweetness were among the
most appealing influences. The work
of the chorus, which consisted entirely
