man who purchased one of these
scholarships came to our city and en-
tered the school. found out he had
been humbr~~ed, and was thorough
ly d1sgusted that on the third day, he
came to our school to see about en-
rolling with us. He also carried with
him a SI2.oo draft which the school
had sent out, stating that he would
receive that amount as a discount,
providing he would send cash for
his scholarship before leaving home.
II rs pretty good evidence that there
IS something wrong somewhere
when school goes to sending out
discount for cash enrollments before
the student leaves his home. Look at
the difference in the chances this
young man took and the one who
enrolls with us. He paid for his
scholarship before he left home,
came to the school and was disap-
pointed, but could not get a cent Of
his tuition back, while the one who
enrolls with us can get his money
back at any time if Our work is not
what we claim. If the student
doubts our sincerely in this car fare

bank subject to his order before he
leaves home.

pURLIC GETS BENEFIT
AND INVENTOR NOTHING
Chemists Discover Ellmore's Com
pound That Burns Ashes With
Coal and Leaves Very Little Waste

The remarkable secret for burning
ashes with coal, discovered by John
Gilmore, an Altoona. Pa, cobbler
which has excited attention almost
the world over, is out Altoona is
ROW using it with great saving in
coal bills in every household. Sever
Il well-known chemists Immediately
after it was announced that Gilmore
had solved the problem of obtaining
neat from ashes, set to work to try to
discover the formula They were sue
eessful, and here it is:
Common salt one pound
0xalic acid, two ounces.
Water, one gallon
Mix and mOisten d mixture con-
aiming one part coal and three parts
ashes and better fuel than pure
e0al is obtained.
The ashes of anthracite coal burn
as readily as do these of bituminous.
This mixture will. upon being placed
upon burning fire, fuse into a coke
ike mass and deposit but little resi-
due. The chemical action Of this
compound is thus explained:
When an equeous solution Of an
alkaline salt, such as comon salt. is
mixed with coal ash. the result is
when mixed with any combustib1e
material. such as coal and upon the
application of heat gives off Oxygen
gas thus enabling rapid combustion.
The addition of oxalic acid has
caused chemical change Of greater
value than the first, for the reason
that it results iii the formation of a
carbide, which i'll turn gives off acety-
tine gas, this adding to the intensity
OF the heat and facilitating complete
combustion.
1t is possible upon moist,ning a
small quantity OF ashes without the
addition of coal to really detect the
odor OF acetyline gas. and if the
created ashes are placed upon a light
ed FIRE they will fuse and burn to a
fue powder.
The compound is now being used
n utany large industrial and mercan-
erie places in Altoona and other cit
es, and 1t is claimed for it that it has
reduced the fuel item more than halt
I. has eliminated almost entirely the
question of disposition of ashes.
sshich has been considerable where
great quantities of coal are consumed
Fillmore. who discovered the Sc
eret and focused attention upon the
possibilities that lurked in ashes,
cfaims that his patent will protect
nfnr in his secret He says he has
received an offer from the British
Government, provided he can de-
nionstratc the practicability of his
compound
While it is everywhere concede d
nat Gilmore has conferred great
soon upon humanity, it is feared that
he will not derive any tangible bene-
sts from his discovery in view OF
the facts that hundreds of others
nave secured the same results. fol-

Goodbye, Mr.. Greenbug.

From regent reports it seems
that the deDradations of the green
bug have beeh effectually stop
ped by the recent rain and freeze.
The cold spell made the bugs
teeth chatter so that he could not
chew and so much water has
ruined his digestion and soiled his
appetite. Then before he could
recover and get settled down to
business again the gentle
Ladybug came along and claimed
him for her own. Seriously.
however, the damaged done BY the
bug in this part of the country
does not seem to amount to a
great deal. if anything at all.
Tho farmers we're unable to tell
exactly whether it was the bugs
or the dry weather which was
causing the wheat to look:sick. but
whichever it was the rain, have
worked a wonderful change.
The prospect at present is re-
ported as very good. 1t is hoped
that the greenbug is content with
the stir be made and the attention
he attracted for a brief period
and will now pack his clothes and
depart for other fields OF en-,
deavor. Stafford Corrier.

Mr.. johnson located in the banner
wheat county Of that state. "And the
wheat is now looking well", said Mr..
Johnson. while | am new there,
am convinced that 1t is one of the best
agricultural districts in this whole
country. The great trouble with the
farm lands back in Ohio is that they
represent too large an amount of mon
ey. When a farmer back there counts
up the cost Of keeping up the improv.
ments and taxes, and then figures up
his crop and incomes from all sources
it will be found that the investment
pays averv small dividend. The good
farms out in Barton county, where
lived,are bringing around $50 an acre
but that is very cheap along side Of

farmer can pay for his land outright
