a hard battle the coming Saturday.
when they play Hamline college of st.
Paul at the college field. Hamline has
one of the best teams among the Min

they have been going good lately, so

During the past year people have
complained that their gasoline stoves
were out of commission and many
have not known the reason. An in.
v~estigation of gasoline that is being
shipped into this state indicates that
the Standard Oil company has taken
matters into their own hands and are
paying 40 attention to the state laws
regarding the quality of gasoline
shipped in, in fact it is known that
they have actually dumped pure kero-
sene into their gasoline tanks and
sold the same for gasoline. This has
put gas stoves on the bling. 1t looks
now as though the only way to do will
be to discard the gas stove and install
kerosene burners. Where is all the
boosted activity of the oil inspectors ?

now seems very likely to be accom-
plished, though it will probably take
four or five years to work out the dc
