ALCOHOL IS NEW FUEL

AMES, Iowa, Nov. 1.-The chem
ical industry in the United States is
entering into the greatest period in
the history Of its existence and the
practical phase Of the science of
chemistry is being given more con-
sideration than ever before, according
to w. F. Coover, head Of the depart
ment of chemistry, at Iowa State
college, who has returned from New
York City where he attended the re-
cent conclave OF the American Chem
icai society and the national expo
sition Of chemical industries.
Professor Coover represented the
Ames section of the American Chem
ical society at the New York meet
ing, reputed to be the largest session
of its kind ever held in the United
States. r. R. Renshaw, associate
professor in chemistry at state col
lege. also attended the meetings.
U. S. Has Awakening.
1.-THE United States has had an
awakening" said Professor Coover,
ito the possibilities of this country
In the field of chemistry, particu-
'larly in its relation to the Industrial
field, This awakening has come
largely as a result of the European
war in as much as the United States
has been thrown upon its own re-
sources" he added
The sentiment was expressed at
the meeting of chemists of the Unit
ed States that industrial chemistry
has shown q marvellous development
in the last few years, and It's con-
tinued growth is assured even after
the expiration Of the war.
1.-THE general shakeup in the at
fairs of the world is going to mean
that the United States is going to
lbe prepared. to compete with the
other countries of the world, which
heretofore have held almost a mo
nopoly ON the manufacture Of art
icles which are made under the d.
rection of the chemist.
Home manufacturing concerns
have inspired confidence in their
own wares and products while the
users of chemicals, especially for in
dustrial purposes, are demonstrating
the value of made in America art
icles. Plants for the manufacture Of
clay and glassware have been spring
ing up rapidly during the last two
years and the industry promises to
be a permanent institution in the
United States. ~ S&
Alcohol New Fuel.
"The prediction was made at
symposium of the American society
that alcohol soon will supercede the
use of gasoline as fuel for auto
mobiles. 1t is declared that there no
longer is any question as to the
on,f, cture Of alcohol for CONNIE r-
cial purposes. .-.-.
Experiments have demonstrated
that 1T can be produced nearly as
cheap as gasoline, and the advant-
ages far outnumber those Of gasoline:
The chemists took up the question Of
reserying the resources for wood
min for the manufacture Of paper.

THE ARGUS HONOR ROLL

Last week we had but two names
on our honor list, this week we have
three, only three men out of six hund-
red who owe us on subscription ac-
counts came in to pay their obliga-
tions and help us meet those thrust
upon us. But that Is a good percent
age of increase, fifty, and II that
keeps up we will soon be whore we
belong with at last fifty week COM
ing in, then we can satisfy the credit
ors and feel like a man again.
Julien Hurley. who Is going after
the nomination for Joint senator on
the republican ticket was the first
one to call and get his date advanced
TO 1917. Julien has been in the news
paper business and fully realizes that
the collection OF the little dollar bills
Is an expensive proposition and APP
preciates that II is impossible TO
give the readers good paper unless
these little matters are attended TO.
lie was also kind enough to say that
The Argus II the news'est county
paper we have ever had and that our
efforts TO give the people a clean,
newsy sheet would surely win out In
time. II we could only hold out until
the subscribers came IN and paid
their bills. julien is making a good
canvass for the senatorial nomlna-
tion and election. this being a ropub-
lican district.
J. Dlllard was another OF the APP
preciativo ones to call Mr.. billiard
had little al In the paper for the
sale of some hogs. he got a buyer
through the ad ana then had the date
on his subscription advanced year.
We believe Mr.. billiard made mis-
take In getting out OF the hog bust
ness at this time. but we cannot all
look at these matters from the same
angle.
$. L.. Payne, who Is n candidate for
assessor on the republican ticket was
another TO call and have his subscrip-
tion date advanced. s. l.. has been In
the hospital for some time but Is out
now and says he liz picking up and
will soon be strong enough TO get
around and meet the voters. lie has
an idea that he can materially reduce
the expenses OF the assessors Office
and knows the county 80 thoroughly
that he can make an equable assess
ment.
Who will be the first to get on our
list for next week?

SULPHUR FOR ALFALFA

Experiments conducted at this sta
tlon have led to the discovery that
sulphur is very valuable fertilizer
for alfalfa, says F. c. Reimer, sup
erintendent OF the Southern Oregon
Experiment Station. The expert
ment indicate that It is probably the
sulfur in the superphosphate which
is responsible for the large increase
in yield where this material is used.
II future results prove this conclu-
sively. then It will be possible to re-
duce the cost of our alfalfa fertiliz-
er bill Just 10 per cent; for sulphur
in the form of crude ground sulphur
may be purchased for one fourth what
it would cost in the form of super
phosphate. This explains satisfactor-
lily for the first time the valuable re-
suits which have been obtained from
the use of gypsum and iron sulphate
as fertilizers on alfalfa and clovers.
These materials are rich in sulfur.

FOR HOME AND COUNTRY

We OF the United States are ma
tion OF peace loving citizens. with no
greater desires than to pursue our
own course OF honor unhindered and
unhampered by the rest OF the world.
Yet with all our peaceful intentions
we are slowly but inevitably drifting
toward war-toward war OF hor-
rors inconeeiyable to the great ma
jority OF our people,
Our homes and our country are In
jeopardy,
The president OF the United States
has strongly and repeatedly intimat-
ed as much and has begged congress
and the people 20 hasten the impera-
tive duty of preparing our country to
meet the shock II II comes.
Influential leaders and men of
thought and action in every section OF
the land have stated publicly that
war is inevitable Others in more
humble walks of life have seen the
beacon OF disaster aud are demand
ing action for defense.
But some appear to give little heed
or thought 10 the dangers of tomor-
row, They calmly slumber in the old
time and fatuous belief that IL war
ever comes "a million men will
spring TO arms over night and drive
the invader from our shores"
No more fatal thought or belief
was ever conceived in the mind OF
man. No more certain course could
we ever pursue for IN eventual de-
struetion and serfdom of our beloved
country.
With our thousands of miles of
shores and borders unprotected. with
an army of but handful OF valiant
men, with navy which high officers
themselves admit TO be lamentably
inadequate, with a few unreliable
submarines and practically no aerial
squadron, with no great guns power
full enough 10 cope with those of an
enemy, with scarcity OF powder and
shell, with this distressing and pitt
full array of unpreparedness and in
efficiency we are expected TO spring
to arms in a night" and hurl the vet
eran ana scientifically armed hosts
of a powerful nation into the sea!
A million men would spring to
arms. Ten, twenty, or thirty mil
lion men would spring to arms, But
the arms would be pop guns and

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1916-12-22

In commenting upon President Will
sons recent address before the Ma
tional Grange wherein he took the
ground that it was the duty Of the
farmers to raise big crops and thus re-
duce the cost of living to the consum-
ers, the Wallaces' Farmer lets ray of
light into that sort of reasoning as fol-
lows: President Wilson has voiced
thought that has been very commonly
voiced by people in the cities. He
seems to agree with those who think
that the farmers one job is to raise
the biggest crops possible, so that they
will fetch low prices and thus keep
down the cost of living in the cities.
We would like to see President Wilson
or anyone else justify such notion by
convincing argument. Is the farmer
under greater obligations to the COM
munity than the maker of clothing?
People must have food to eat, it is
true; but in the United States they
must also have clothing to wear. So,
also, they must have shelter to protect
them from the weather. They must
have fuel to keep them warm, and
some sort of heating apparatus to burn
it in. Are not all of these things equal
ly necessary under our modern civiliza-
ton? Should the farmer slave for the
common good more than the maker of
clothes, shoes, or stoves, or the builder
of houses?
