Don't wait for her to say yes OF
no. Take it for granted that she is
yours.

At the recent convention of the

A TRUST IN ALCOHOL

A few months ago, when science
discovered a way to convert decayed
and decaying vegetation into what
is now chemically known as dena-
tured alcohol, it was announced that
the fluid would take the place of
wood and coal for fuel in the cook
ing room, that heat could and would
be had at a cost so low as to revo-
lutionize the industrial world.
Chemists, particularly DR.. Wiley's
department at Washington, declared
that denatured alcohol could be fur
nished at about ten cents a gallon.
Farmers, therefore, throughout the
country began making arrange
ments for small engines with which
to use it in creating power for saw
ing wood, chopping millet, pumping
water, and etc. Housewives were
eager for the new fuel for their
kitchens because it was promised
to be not only cheap, but smokeless
and odorless.
Denatured alcohol, which can be
manufactured at small cost, Just
as DR.. Wiley says it can, has steadily
increased in price until now it brings
sixty cents a gallon in all the retail
markets. The prediction is made
that it will reach seventy-five cents
before the end of the year.
Do you wish to know the reason
for this unnatural advance? 1t is
easily told. The manufacturers have
created a rust.-Los Angeles Ex-

much about the sights to be seen at

franchise. Educational qualifications
should be applied for immigrant and
native alike, requiring certain de
gree of education in the English Ian

in addition would be of advantage tc
