Peter Ceder Of Sunnymeade recently
imported Ceder Rambino. which was re-
earded as the nlcct typical of his breed
ever brought to this country. Before
tie dog cnrnc here he had won many
prizes In Belgium and Mrs. Ceder had
repeatedly refused to take 81 900, holding
out for $l5y.
The Judging cf the show had almost
been completed when the tiny bit OF dog
aristocracy wandered near the Great
Dane. There was snap of the i'm

Fiotation Of Minerals.

Every one has tried the experiment
Of floating a needle on water and then
watching the needle sink when II BE-
comes wet. The reason the needle floats
Is because a film Of air surrounds the
needle, and, air being very light, the
combined weight of>the air and needle
il not enough to sink the needle. Al
soon as this air flm il displaced by
water or, in other words. the needle be-
comes wet 1t sinks.
Writing In Metallurgical and Chemi-
cal Engineering, Professor Wilder d.
Bancroft shows how mixtures Of oil
and water, with other agents, agitated
with air can be made to float valuable
minerals, while the valueless portion
sinks. This process, called "fotatlon'
has made great Roadway in recent
years. and the savings effected by II
each year are enormous. The same
principles apply in our bronzing liquids
in which the metal remains suspended
I'm a volatile liquid. A substance Is
added which will keep the metallic
powder from rubbing on too readily
after 1t is applied.

DUCK SEASON TO
OPEN OCTOBER FIRST

The duck season is regulated by
the federal law, which fixes the date
at October LIST, and while the state
law reads September 18th, and in
two states the federal law was de-
clared unconstitutional, the recent
decision in South Dakota held the
federal law to be good. From this
/ Immediately becomes plain that a
person is in serious danger if he
cares to take chance on a violation
Of the law. One thing is certain,
and that is this: The federal author
tiles are keeping a close watch on
the matter and any violations that
are discovered will be vigorously
prosecuted, so those who care to take
issue with the United States govern
ment over duck or two may try it,
hut before they do they have assur-
ance that it will cost them many dol

lars and perhaps not few sleepless

1t is understood that deputy
representing the federal authorities
visited Geyser several days ago and
warned hunters not to shoot ducks
before October 1. 1t is said there
were few cases of violations report
ed to the deputy, but inasmuch as
the parties were not aware of the
status of the ruling of the govern
ment as to the opening of the season

500, 100000 gallons during the year,
more cars to the output and so on,
I'D lib.
Now let us figure as TO the amount
If gasoline available. There are 265
refineries in active operation, II I'M
der partial operation while construc-
lion is progressing. 40 new plants
building or projected and 26 plants
idle. If all refineries now operating
to full capacity they would consume
about 100000 barrels of crude oil
daily. How close the margin is be-
tween refinery capacity and gasoline
consumption is shown by the fact
that in 1915 domestic and export
consumption absorbed 100000
barrels of gasoline of SO gallons
each. With 100000 more motor
1riven vehicles in use in 1916 than
here were in 1915, the 1916 con-
sumption will probably be increased
100000 barrels from this source
| llone. The gasoline consumption of
lie country, therefore, should ap-
lproximate at least 100000 barrels
81 70 gallons each. rl,s would u
luire total annual refinery CON
sumption of S00,000,OO0 barrels If
crude oil, as the recovery OF gaso-
| line from crude oil will not average
above Is per cent. The existing dis
crepancy between the coisumptiye
demand for gasoline and refinery ca
pacity is overcome by the produ, ton
OF gasoline from natural gas and b.,
the aid of patented refining process
es, which recover additional gasoline
from refinery distillate from which
the naptha and kerosene have been
recovered by ordinary refining meth
DDS.
There is an old song whose title
rather aptly applies to the gasoline
situation. 1t reads: 1--WE Will Never
Miss the Water Till the Well Runs
Dry" With the manufacture of au-
tomobiles increasing at tremendous
rate and the demand for gasoline
growing in proportion we may some
day awaken to the consciousness
that the national gasoline well" has
practically run dry. Then we will
, have to cast about for other means
of propulsion, for the automobile Ii
here to stay regardless of the gaso
line supply.

many local grocers who have en-
couraged buyers to purchase cane
sugar. In California, a few years
ago, the question became a state
wide one and in order to test the rel
alive merits of the two sugars ex-
haustive experiments were made I'M
der the direction of Prof. G. w.
shaw, a noted and recognized spec
ialist on sugar. Recognizing the inn
portance of Prof. Shaw's experiments
the United tSates government caused
to be published a special bulletin
(Circular No. 33), Prof Shaw's re-
port covering the findings in the in
vestigations made.
The best evidence of the profits
arising from the manufacture of beet
sugar is furnished by the state of
Utah, where the first plant was oper-
ated in 1891 with an output Of only
100000 pounds of sugar. This fac
tory has been enlarge three times
and now ns5 q capacity of 1i91 tons
of beets PER day and makes; about
80 100000 pounds of sugar yearly.
In 1915 the farmers of Utah raised
and delivered to the sugar companies
Glib $40 tons of beets, for which they
received upwards of $4,000, 900.
These beets produced about 10000
tons of finished sugar, which ought
to sell for about $6,000,O00 1t re-
CURES an army of mon tc wp.k these
beets and it will take upwards Of
100, 900 tons of coal, 81 .010 tons of
lime rock, 1000 tons OF coke, and
several hundred thousand dollars
OF other manufacturing material
Only ten per cent of the sugar aanu-
featured in Utah is sold at home, the
balance finding a market in the east
ern states. Yet Utah ranks only
fourth among the states of the Union
