The Gun Of Water

will be utilized very literally in connec-
tion with the work on the farm.
The rapid growth in the demand for
liquid fuels has more than doubled the
price of gasolene during the past live
years, and the fuel bill for a fve-horse-
power engine, ten hours a day, has in
creased from 800 to $3.50 year. With
gasolene as the only available motor
fuel it's cost must advance with the
steady increase in the number of en-
gines used, since the supply is limited,
and cannot be increased in proportion
to the growing demand for it.
1t has been estimated that making
alcohol available as fuel by removing
the tax would double the power uses
in this country. This would mean an
aggregate increase in engines of over
ten million horsepower, and if these
were employed one-third of the time an
addition to the working force of the
country Of a thousand million horse
power hours. At one-tenth of gallon
per horsepower this would require the
annual consumption Of one hundred mil
lion gallons Of alcohol.
Production Of Alcohol
The farmer has interest in alcohol
and the movement for the removal OF
the tax for another reason: He is the
producer of the raw material from
which it is distilled. Corn is the prln
cipal raw material in this country from
which alcohol is made. 1t can also be
made from other materials, such as pc
tatoes, beets, unmarketable fruits, dam
aged grain, etc. A large industrial con
sumption of alcohol would guarantee
sure market for surplus and otherwise
unstable crops. Furthermore, the ma
ture Of the fluid permits of its being
kept for years if necessary, hence whel
| a large crop is raised which tended t.
create surplus and depress prices, tn
surplus could be easily converted int
alcohol and stored to prevent an.
marked reduction in prices in case
failure from short crops the followin
year.
Effect on Insurance.
Another feature is the matter Of II
sllrance.< No insurance company WI
] permit a farmer to have at one tim
any considerable quantity of gasolen
on his farm Since alcohol mixes wit
water freely, fire started with alcoht
is one of the easiest to extinguish. TIL
is not true of gasolene or kerosene, bot
of which float fon water and contlnu
burning.
! The question has been raised as
4 whether extensive changes would (
i necessary in the gasolene engines no
in use on farms in case the owner
should want to use alcohol. This que
ton has been given careful consider
ton by the manufacturers Of these e.
gines and their reply is that the chang
,, necessary would be very slight, if ar
at all. In fact, gasoline engines ha,
been operated experimentally with voc
!. alcohol, and the engine made to perfor
every function intended Of it.

Il MEASURE introduced in the
~ house Of representatives by
Mr.. Marshall Of North Da-
kota has for its purpose the re-
moval Of the internal revenue
tax on alcohol, and% it's passage
is Of vast Importance, especially
to such agricultural states as
Minnesota. Not only will it benefit
the farmer who produces the raw mate
rial from which alcohol is made, but it
will contribute to his further advan-
tage in q cheap and safe motive power
for use on the farm as well as light
and heat for his home. The removal
Of the internal revenue will also tend
IN no small way to lessen the enormous
dividends Of the Standard Oil company
made possible by its monopoly. .ss
The bill provides that free alcohol
does not carry with it a license to in
dulgei in the original intoxicant as a
beverage. 1t contemplates that ample
ton shall be provided along this
line by demanding that it shall contain
an. obno Gus poisonous substance
It is not difficult to point out the
far reaching effects which the removal
of the tax would have upon the indus,
tries Of the country, and it is equally
simple IN to- produce proofs to show that
arguments in favor of free alcohol are
based upon sound economic principles
At present alcohol for beverages and
industrial alcohol are subject to a TAI
Of more than 50 a gallon. Industrial
alec biol ccording to the depa rtment d
agriculture, could be sold proftably
were there no tax on it, for about Il
cents a gallon; and under the increased
| demand that would be sure to follow
it is possible it could be sold proftablJ
for 10 cents a gallon.

HOT DRINKS IN HOT WEATHER.

Hot weather in New York is certainly trying
but ii is not bad the hot weather in the West
where the spells last longer In New York the
heat seldom lasts many days before there come
break, shower and cool winds; but in parts of
the West the sun sometimes shines for days out Of
a sky that is like burning copper and the earth
cries aloud for rain.
During of these August drouths in Southern
Wisconsin a girl who taking of her sick
mother hit upon plan for cooling the air of the
room where the invalid lay. II was in the country
and the heat beat through the windows OF the
cottage. rising from the sandy road with a force
rarely experienced in the city. where the tall build
