the FARM icEHOUSE.

party of golfers coming in from their
sport met a farmer living some miles
in the country who had a big chunk of
ice in the vehicle wrapped in horse
blankets. Somebody expressed sur
prise that farmer should be hauling
ice home from town ana some one else

oAsoLENE.
-nd SeellN8 l1ax -d cabbad es-p An3

Gasoline is a thin, watery fluid
which Is drank as a beverage by motor
cars. Some cars are heavier drinkers
than others and are unable to get ten
miles from filling station without de-
veloping a raging thirst, after which
they are traded of to somebody who
has never owned an automobile in any
form.
Gasolene comes in several grades,
any one of which will run an auto
mobile down hill in a very satisfactory
manner. LOWEST gasolene Is the
most popular, as it costs less and can
be told from kerosene at once by set
ting q match to it. Every few days
some fearless hired girl tries to start
the kitchen fire with gasolene and dis
covers that 1t will burn with great
rapidity. Nobody has never set fire
to a five-gallon can of low-test gaso-
lene without regretting the act and
retiring from the scene by piecemeal.
Gasolene is also used for cooking
purposes, being inserted by hand In
stove. Many people prefer the cleo
trio heater to the gaSolene stove,
which has to be taken to the plumber
every once in a while and be fitted with
a bright new stomach.
Gasolene Is composed Of Pennsyl-
varia crude oil and plain. unfer1nented,
river water at the ratio OF Is to 1.
The free coinage OF gasolene in this
country has become so 5prevalent that
this ratio varies from Is to / to 1 to
Is, with the result that thousands Of
owners have to stop on the
public highway and swab out the car
buretor with a sponge. 1t Is extremely
annoying to a conscientious tourist to
stop at a wayside garage and pay 20
cents a gallon for gasolene, and then
discover a little later that he might

LARRABEES POLITICAL DEBTS.
[Iowa City Republican,


Some OF the newspapers have been
talking about Senator Fred Larrabee
as a possible candidate for lieutenant
governor. Considering what took place
in the legislature when Kenyon was
elected senator Mr.. Larrabee may feel
that he could not in very good grace
become a candidate against E r..
Moore, of Cedar Rapids. Early in the
senatorial contest Mr.. Moore, then a
representative from Linn county, went
over TO Kenyon and he stood with him
to the last OF course that does not
bar Mr.. Larrabee. but considering what
his candidate for senator received in
help from Mr.. Moore. and the honors
that came to Fort Dodge, the home Of
both Mr.. Larrabee and Mr.. Kenyon.
ordinary reciprocal consideration at
least place considerable obligation up
on Senator Kenyon and his immediate
friends not TO forget the favors re-
ceiyed.

him as man without honor. At the
very crisis Of the case when argu-

intimation whatever to any Of his as
