Watertown.-A practical illustra-
ton of the manner in which South
Dakota people are turning to home IN
situations to finance big propositions,
was had here when arrangements
were completed whereby the Dakota
Mutual Life Insurance company OF
this city will loan Aberdeen lodge, No.
1046, B. P. o. Elks, $40, 600 to be used
for the completion of the Elks' new
home in that city.
After deciding to borrow that sum
Of money to carry out their building
plans, the Elks of Aberdeen turned to
the Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance
company of Minneapolis. expecting to
make the loan of that company. Loyal
South Dakota boosters i'll that happy
family, however, thought it would be
wiser to get the money at home If
possible, and suggested that the Dako-
ia Mutual was quite capable Of taking
care of a loan of that size.
Some Investigation followed, and
the application was made to the lo.al
company. DR.. II. NJ. Finnerud, vice
president of the company, appraised
the value of the Elks' property, and
the officers of the company found the
loan desirable. Quickly followed the
agreement.
When completed the Elks' home in
Aberdeen will be valued at about $780,.
600.

mills, planning mills and similar estab-
lishments. So he patented a machine
for pressing shavings and sawdust in
to molds. A string through the cen.
ter of the mold helps hold the mate
rial together, and the heavy pressure
to which it is subjected accomplishes
the rest. From the molds the pressed
wood" (as the product is called
comes out looking like a giant cannon
cracker, IL inches long and three
inches in diameter. Owing to its
compressed state, the wood burns
slowly, but with intense heat, making
it much more desirable for use in
stoves than ordinary wood. 1t is
claimed that it's fuel value per ton is
fully equal to that of the best grade
of bituminous coal, while it's cleanli-
ness makes it preferable to coal. By
the ton it retails at the same price as
coal, and the favor with which it has
been received by the public seems to
presage a great future for pressed
wood" as fuel.
