Making Alcohol ON the Farms.


The internal revenue commissioner
has prepared for public USE docu-
ment giving the regulations for manu-
featuring denatured alcohol from waste
products ON the farm, and no doubt the
Department of Agriculture will follow
up the matter with bulletins in the
popular educational form. Making
cheap alucohol for fuel, power and light
is a great industry on the German
farms, and takes a considerable part In
the German advance In manufacturing
and commerce. French farmers also
have made progress in the business
Some own their own stills and others
depend on travelling distillers. Tho
waste of wine, fruit and beet growing
Is chiefly relied on, potato crops cost
ing more in France than in Germany.
At the beginning of the year the tax
on the manufacture of denaturetl al
cohOl was removed, but the advantages
predicted are not yet visible to any
extent. Time Is required to grasp the
practical details of the change. Ameri-
can farms raise more marketable crops
than any other and have a greater va
riety of waste and by-products. Alec
hol can be distilled from corncobs and
like material and Is said to be superior
to gasoline for fuel. The authorities
at Washington are giving thought to
what can be accomplished in Its llanu-
facture by individual farmers or groups
Of farmers, and the industry, when
fairly set in motion, will take the place
anticipated. The uses of cheap, eff
cient fuel are not in doubt. An active
campaign by the Department Of Agri-
culture will give denatured alcohol the
start needed.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.

Good and Bad Apple seasons.

The high prices demanded for apples
throughout this section of the country
bring forcibly to mind the abundant
fruit crop Of last season, the low prices
paid for apples and the universal care
lessness Of growers In taking care Of
their crop. Throughout all sections of
Missouri the apple crop last year was
unusually large. Owners of orchards
could not secure anywhere near what
their fruit was worth, and many thou
sands of bushels of good apples were
allowed to rot on the ground or were
fed to stock. This year the crop was
ruined by late frosts, and now the price
per bushel Ii so high that the average
family Is forced to do without this
healthful and delicious fruit. The les
son to be learned from these conditions
ought to be impressed upon the mind of
every apple grower In the State. Com
plant was made last year that the ap-
pie market was controlled by a trust,
which would buy no more fruit than II
could dispose of at a handsome profit.
This was doubtless true, but 1t in NO
way prevented the farmer from care
fully preserving a supply sufficient at
least for his home use until another
crop could be raised. He could at least
manufacture large supply of cider
vinegar, put away number of bushels
Of dried apples, make a number Of gal
Ions Of apple butter, besides carefully
putting away supply of the fruit in
good cellars or In mounds In the gar
den or orchard.-St. Joseph Gazette.

why Marriage Failed.

He did all the counting before mar
riage.
He never talked over his affairs with
his wife.
He thought Of his wife only as a
cheap housekeeper.
He never dreamed that a wife de-
served praise or compliments.
He thought his wife had very easy
time.
He married an ideal, and was dis
appointed to find it had flaws.
He paid no attention to his personal
appearance after marriage.
He treated his wife as he would moi
have dared to treat another woman.

No Counting in Church.

In Cornish chapels the invariable
rule is for the men to sit on one side
of the building and the women on the
other.
A visitor and his fiancee, who were
staying in the district, went to chapel
and just before the service began the
young man was greatly astonished
when the chapel steward, observing
that the couple were seated in the same
pew, came over to him, and, in an audi

Seventeen year r-old Estelle Arthur,
the only girl messenger in San Fran
cisco, is missing. She was employed
at the Federal building and carried
packages of coin for c. D. Bunker & Co.
through the burned district at the time
that the gaspipe murderers made life
an uncertain quantity.
In a natty blue suit. with a pistol
strapped at her side. she attracted much
attention in the lower end of the city.
But this little marvel of feminine
strength and courage has shown. in
the words Of Kipling. that a woman
is only a woman" For she has left
the Custom house and there are whis-
pers that there has been an elopement.
Miss Arthur's mother. who lives in a
refugee cottage in Portsmouth square.
has not seen her daughter since Wash
ington's birthday. On the holiday the
young lady left home, taking the
greater part of her wardrobe. Mrs.
Arthur has also been making inquiry
for Harry Hawley, who claimed to be
in the employ of the immigration bu-
reau. 1t is known that Miss Arthur
and young Hawley were good friends,
and to her companions Miss Arthur has
often eXtolled his virtues.
Ten days ago the girl asked her en-
ployers for leave of absence. She
remained at home with her mother, as
sisting in the household duties La st
Friday miss Arthur took her station at
the wash tub with the family linen
before her. The mother had gone to
visit for few moments with some
neighbors and when she returned Es-
telle had gone and had taken with her
satchel containing her clothes She
left no message telling of her plans.
Mrs. Arthur at first thought that her
daughter had gone to Santa Rosa TO
visit relatives, but as the days passed
and no word came her anxiety in
creased to alarm. She visited the Gus
tom-house, but no one there had seen
the girl for several DAYS. Mrs Artbnr
expressed the fear that her dauehter
had eloped with young Hawley.

CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO. Feb. 26.-Emotional
answering of the criticism directed
against the patronage grab occupied all
of the morning session of the Senate
today.
Curtin OF Sonora started it when the
constitutional amendment submitted by
Wolfe of San Francisco limiting the
patronage to $500 a day in each house
came up hird reading file. Curtin
declared ne Legislature was only
a trihe eAt4.4. agant, not more so than
some OF the newspapers, who main
tanned three and four reporters to write
about the session, when one would
suffice. II they could not afford to have
more.
Less attaches could be got along with,
he admitted. but it would result in
making the work harder than the
newspapers expected their own en-
ployes to work. Curtin declared that
he did not object to criticism, but that
he did resent denunciation. 1t was the
ties of association and fellowship that
drew the members OF the Legislature
TO Sacramento rather than the pay they
received from the State. He argued
against the Wolfe amendment. how
ever. because he did not believe in leg
lslatfon born OF newspaper criticism,
and thought that Wolfe was playing &
the wrong kind OF politics in bending
to that criticism.
Willis of San Bernardino said that it
was the evident delight of California
editors TO throw mud balls at the law
makers.
Wolfe said he thought IT was the
avowed purpose of newspapers to rend
the heartstrings of lawmakers and
bring shame on their families.
Il saw tears in the eyes of my good
friend Curtin when he was referring to
the ties that brought him back to Sac
ramento every two years" declared
Wolfe. Il do not object to criticism
but I ask this Senate in all fairness If
a single newspaper has ever shown a
disposition to commend US for the good
we do. They see nothing but our mis-
takes"
Willis has an amendment similar to
Wolfe's. but which contains the added
provision of raising the pay of mem
bers of the Legislature to $1,000 for a
session. Irrespective OF its length. The
amendment was curtailed SO as to con-
tain only the latter provision for sub
