MORE OF DENATUR ALCOHOL.
Next to what Roosevelt is going to
do next, denatured alcohol seems to be
holding the attention of newspaper
writer's, manufacturers and economists.
The newspaper talk increases rather
than d1minishes- The fear of manu-
facturers and others desiring a chance
to test and use the new fuel seems to
be that the department may issue and
enforce such rules as win cut out its
possible universal use. It's manufac-
ture must not be permitted to fall into
a monopoly rut. AS it can be distilled
from many worthless products, and
cheaply, the rules governing its manu-
facture should be very liberal. An ex-
pert engineer, writing to the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record recently, said:
Il want to urge you to hammer edi-
tOrially al the free alcohol question in
advance of the issuance of rulings gov
erning the matter from the treasury
department. Everything depends upon

Long, Long Ago.

The lonesomeness of bachelor life
in the west in homesteading, days
forty years ago wss occasionally bro
ken by the social functions known a.
dances. The houses were small IN
those days but the hospitality was
OF broad, generous nature. When
a young homesteader gave dance
he did not send out invitations on
cardboard or fashionable notepaper
requesting the honor of the presence
of his friend so-and-so and ladies'.
Instead, he mounted his broncho and
hit the trails hard in all directions to
let the folks know that there would
be doings at his shack on certain
evening. 1t was always easy to get
a goodly company OF men, but It
was a different matter regarding the
women, says Field and Farm.
The host at prairie dance had TO
do some close figuring to get enough
girls to fill two sets of square dances.
One one occasion out on the BUou
the party consisted of eighty odd
men and only eleven women. 1t was
a small cabin and only those who
dance could get inside. Outside
there were half hundred or more
bronchoes under saddle or tied to
buckboards and their owners talked
horse, smoked or played euchre by
the light of the lanterns. 1--WE got
something just little the fastest

Askew to the boys around. Jack was
was referring to gray COW pony OF
which he had recently become pos
sessed. Another homesteader ex-
pressed doubts as to the gray being
as speedy as its owner thought and
the result was horse race by noon
light. This was not an uncommon
occurrence at the cowboy dances.
Jack had been SO fortunate as to
have made an engagement for the
seventh dance with popular young
woman from Running creek. The
first dance had just begun and he
would be due in an hour or two. He
offered to waive his claim for the
dance and recommend the owner OF
the other horse to the girls favor
should he lose the race. A bunch of
bucking bronchos went out on the
prairie few hundred yards and a
straightaway course was laid out.

Jack Askew danced in the seventh
for the gray horse won. There
were no wall flowers in those days
neither was there any sitting out the
numbers in some cosy corner. There
were no cosy corners to spare, nor
girls either. The fiddlers usually sat
on a table in order to take up less
room and it was case of on with
the dance, let Joy be unconfined from
start to finish. A man was in luck
indeed, who got action more than
one or two times in the quadrilles.
Round dances wer cut out for the
reason that the rooms were too
small for the willowy walters and
also because dances with corners on
them were the most popular.

IN JAM AT

A crowd of over 200 people congre-

large that the doors could not be

quested Patrolman McDermott who
was on duty to clear the entrance.
While the policeman was e%ndeavor-
ing to make way for the people to en-
ter, his badge became unfastened and
fell to the ground. A search failed
to reveal the article, and a little later
the crowd filed into the store. The
doors were closed at once, and after
the patrons had secured their pur-
chases, they were shown out of the
building through the cellar entrance.
Up to noon the plans was continued,
until the supply of agate ware which
was the cause of the excitement had
all been purchased. After the crowd
had been thinned out, a small colored
boy handed the policeman his badge.

SHOULD VOTE
FOR RAMSAY

Tomorrow the voters of Middlesex
county will be called upon to exercise
their right of suffrage, among other
things, in the election of members OF
the state assembly for the coming
year. Among those who are candi-
dates for your vote is DR.. William e.
Ramsay, of this city.
Probably no man is so well and fa-
vorably known in this city as DR..
Ramsay. He is a practising physi-
clan in this city and has made a wide
and varied clientage.
Believing that servitude to corpor-
ate interests and private greed were
the greatest evils that beset the polit-
ical welfare of this community, he
became a candidate for election to the
house of assembly. Since his nomi-
nation Mr.. Ramsay has made an ac-
tive campaign. sparing neither him
self or his time in this respect.
Feeling that the true test of a free
government consists in the people
saying by whom they shall be gov
erned and in what manner, and real
lzlnS that the God-giyen, cOnStltu-
tional right to a pure ballot was be-
ing invaded by the wholesale use of
money at the polls, DR.. Ramsay has
made bribery his campaign issue. AT
every meeting he has addressed, he
has spoken of the indiscriminate use
of money at the polls, decrying this
evil as being, in the past, incident to
both parties. He has promised that
he would not use one penny for other
than legitimate expenses and can be
relied on to keep his promises.
DR.. Ramsay recognizes no man as
his mentor. If he goes to Trenton, It
will be as his OWL boss, and he will
continue Embossed and unpurchasable
during his term. A vote for DR.. RAM
say is a vote against boss domination
and corporate rule. 4940-11-5-1t

Complain of Rigs at g. II. II. Depot.

OOfiDfdin vi NlSS ut ~ h -. DtpOt'
Agent Garris, of the Central Rail
road company, communicated with
the police today in regard to a mum
Der of private conveyances that daily
drive up to the station and crowd
around the building so that no others
can receive or discharge passengers.
Mr.. Garris said he was willing for the
vehicles to use the depot, but that af-
ter the people step out, must not
remain so close to the platform that
the hackmen and other wagons can
not use the place. Frequently, says
Mr.. Garris, private conveyances come
to the station long before train time,
and completely surround the plat
form, when they should wait at a dis
lance with the other rigs.
The police will take action in the
matter at once, and a patrolman will
be stationed there to warn the driv-
ers.
