A Worthy Purpose.

The agricultural organizations are at
tempting to unite in movement to re-
lieye the manufacture of denatured al
cohol from the red tape which at present
renders the law ineffective in so far as
it relates to the encouragement of this
cheap fuel by individual farmers. The
need of such fuel is increasing in farm
operations, and there is abundance of
waste material on every farm from

II is good news that Captain Inch will
not lose his command with the Uranium
line just because he lost his ship, the
Volturno. He is a young man and the
experience which he gained during the
trying times of that ships disaster will
serve him well in command of some 9th
er ocean liner. Moreover, he showed
that he was a capable commander and
equal TO a tremendous crisis. Every
thing seemed TO be in favor of giving
him another command, barring, perhaps,
custom which deereed that a captain
who lost his ship should lose his com
mand. IL looks in this case like a
senseless custom and one smacking more
of superstitious beliefs than anything

The name of Verdi, we are told, was
political and patriotic symbol. He
belonged to the Italian Nationalist
party. and his name was scrubbed on
the walls of Italian towns which We're

ever. as is carefully explained, was not
paid to Verdi himself. as his name hap

initial letters of Victor Emmanuel

Italian patriots often cover their walls.
Verdi was politician. He was elected
deputy, and subsequently Emmanuel
made him a senator. The story is told
that the maestro was In the habit of
