GAS ENGINE DEVELOPMENT.

The tendency toward simplicity III
design is we'll Illustrated IN 'he '"-
movement of the internal-comhus1'""
engine. Many of us can Wen reea''
the first of these machines to DE Piac-
ed unon the market. Blu our memo
r,os of these engines are that they
were a mass of cams. springs waive
rods ETC.; that they were extremely
heavy for their horsepower n NOISY
IN almost a like proportion.
After a period of development that
has been comparatively short -they
are. now one of the simplest, most
elastic and most responsive machlnes
known. as we'll as being the lghtest
of all prime movers for their power.
For this reason perhaps more than
n other they have been the mos'
highly developed in the smaller morse
mowers and have served man rather
rs a plaything and a toy-dr'v'ng ms
motor boats, his automobiles and aero
p,anes with equal facility-than find
ing any conspicuous place IN lndns-
trial or manufacturing institutions,
writes Coal Age editorially.
Although at the present time sta
tionary gas engines are made in 5000
HORSEPOWER sizes. yet the development
Of this type of machine is still in its
infancy, perhaps not so much in the
mechanical construction of the me-
chanism itself as in the protection Of
the means and methods of preparing
the engine fuel.
In the thermodynamic efficiency the
Internal combustion engine is at least
the equal, if not the superior, OF steam
actuated and power generating appar-
atus. In the light of our present eN-
periencc and achievement it is not too
much to hope that at no remote date
means will he developed for success
fully producing high-grade engine
fuel from inferior and Inexpensive
coal or Ignite. When this result Is
accomplished. we need have no Tear
of embarrassment or inconvenience
on account of our steadily failing sup
ply of natural gas.

No CIRCUS DURING FAIR WEEK,

The Times does not share the opin-
ion ~antagonistic to circuses which IS
occasionally expressed on the street.
It regards a good circus as a good
thing, and it feels that if the circus
is properly conducted. while it takes
q good deal of money out of the local
ity, 1t gives value in clean entertain
ment, and if we get value for IL
money we should he satisfied.
But there are times for all things,
and the week of the state fair is not
the time for a circus to show in Grand
Forks. We had some trouble getting
a fair located here. We had hard
work building it up. We have had at
times to fight strenuously to hold what
we had gained, against the fierce OPP
position of other places. Year after
wear the men who have had charge
and late not only to hold a fair here,
but to build it up, and to make it the
success that it should he, and the ben
eft to the entire community served
that 1t should he made. There has
been progress every year, but that
progress has kept a number Of men
sweating blood a good share OF the
time.
The people of Grand Forks owe it
to these men. and they owe it to their
W commercial interests to see to it
that not a stone is placed in the way
of the success of the fair. The man
agement is giving a better fair than
has ever been given before in any city
under like circumstances. Every dol
lar availa BILE is spent in such a manner
as to give the most and best possible
results: And, the institution needs ev-
cry dollar Of revenue that can be rails
ed, and the personal presence, the
sympathy and the interest of every
man, woman II child who can pos
sibly be present.
To permit a circus to come in and
show on the closing day Of the fair
would be to draw thousands Of people
to deprive it of both their presence
and the revenue which their attend
ance would mean. If the last day were
not to be a real fair day, but merely
a day for tearing down tents and re-
moving exhibits, the situation would
be different. But no exhibits will be
removed until Saturday night, and the
fair will be as good in every particular
on Saturday as on any other day, and
circus or other similar entertainments
on that day will just cut into the fair
attendance and fair receipts without
contributing anything to 1t
The anxiety Of the circus people to
exhibit ut Grand Forks on this day
e easy to understand. The fair draws
big crowds. and the circus needs the
crowds in it, business. The railroads
have, at the request of the fair man
asement, and because Of realization
~ the value Of the fair, granted re-
duced rates to Grand Forks during all
that week. The circus management
would like to take. advantage Of those
reduced rates. T1iat would mean
money IN their pocket.
Let It be remembered that the fair

STARTING IN THE CHnCE
To make money in the poultry bust
ness a man who has little or no ex-
perience should start small. The
flock should never be over fifty birds.
Less would be better. say a dozen hens
and a rooster, or twenty-four birds
and two ROSTERS. This is the way to
learn the poultry business, and to add
to ones income while doing 80.
With such q flock he will learn
something Of the troubles and joys OF
poultry keeping. He will learn how

Miss Meg demurred at her extrava-
ganee: When she went away she car
ried the picture, but left the quilts to
be called for the following day.
Miss Meg stood at the window
watching the brown figure CARRYING
the huge parcel down the street. The
man on the wall" was gone. ana
there was only q faded spot on the
wallpaper to tell he had ever been
there. Yes, there was also an ache of
disillusion in Miss Meg's heart. Her
romantic idol-the ideal of her girl
hood-was shattered by that awful
name which had been F~erdinand's
real one, and the visicn o! three wifes
and eleven children! -.
AS she stood thus disconsolate Jos-
eph Jones came along. And. ali at
once he had a different look. to Miss
Meg. She saw in him. the man she
had waited all her life for. She
tapped on the window. He heard. A
happy change came over his face and
he darted toward her front door.
AS Miss Meg went to open It she
remembered the roll of bills in her
hand.
