Puts Alcohol in Two Glasses

Lawrence, May 10.-To encourage
the manufacture of industrial alco-
hol from non-food products, DR.. F.
B. Dains, of the University of Kan
sas, department of chemistry, sug-
gests a war tax on all alcohol made
from food products and no tax on al
cohol that cannot be used as food.
American industries use hundreds of
millions of gallons Of alcohol yearly
in entirely legitimate manufacture, in
making artificial leather, smokeless
powder, aeroplane wing coating, eth
er, chloroform, iodOform,, detonators.
alkaloids, tincture of iodine, photo
graphic materials and many other
things. The big munition plants in
this country use millions of gallons
in making powder and detonators. A
few years ago laws were passed free
ing denatured alcohol from taxation
because it can be used only in legiti-
mate industries and not to drink. Now
with the Congress proposing tax of
twenty-five cents a gallon on denat-
ured alcohol the industries are COM
planning loudly. Many stories have
been printed about denatured alco-
hol becoming motor car power and
farmers making their own alcohol
from corn stalks at five cents a gal
lon. IF gasoline gets much higher
that condition may arrive, but the
home alcohol plant is a fiction, DR..
Dains declares. There are about
twenty kinds of alsohol in ordinary

Experiment Station Notes

Mr.. A. S. Nea1e, SilO and live
stock expert of the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural College is helping the Fort
Hays Experiment Station force in
holding twelve meetings in Rocks,
Ellis and Trego counties this week.
At the first of these meetings at Da-
mar, District Agent w. A. Boys, had
the following to say about silos in
his district.
Several Western Kansas farmers
have reported that their silos have
easily paid for themselves the past
year. This was because feed was
stored in the silo when plentiful and
cheap, making it unnecessary to buy
feed at the high prices that have pre-
vailed. On account of the possibility
of continued high prices of feed there
is q greater need of silo than ever be-
fore. 1t is always important fog the
Western Kansas farmer to store up
feed in years of plenty for years. of
short crops.
after deciding to put in a silo,
about the first thing to consider is
what type silo is best. This may vary
some with conditions. However, a
permanent type of silo is usually ad-
visable. A sifo that viii not burn or
blown down represents a safe invest
ment.
''The next thing to decide is the
expense of the different silos of this
character. The pit silo, if properly
constructed is satisfactory, perma-
nent type of silo and represents the
least amount of money invested.
Some of these silos have been con-
structed for cash outlay of S25, and
some were less.
''The pit silos now in the best con-
dition are those that have some COW
ering to protect from rains. The
plastering was at least one inch
thick and of a good rich mixture.
It is. also important to bank up earth
around the curb to shed ali water so
it will not run down around the walls.
"If one prepares to build an above
ground silo, among others, the con-
crete, or metal lath plastered are
good silos that can be depended upon
TO give satisfactory results"

The Human Cormorants

In most communities the size of
Hays, you will find one man, and
some times a number of men, who
live by their wits-by shady methods.
Like their prototype, the cormorant,
they pursue a "watchfuI waiting, y
and figurativcly speaking, when
ever their victim catches a fish"
they wrest it from him and appro-
pirate it to their own use. The "rob-
berry" is always committed under the
guise of law. If it is not actual rob-
berry it is injustice, which amounts
to the same in most instances. These
cormorants in human form, are toler-
ated by the public but are dispised
just the same. They strut around,
smirk, wear good clothes and try to
make you believe they are pure gold,
but just let them get a chance
(under pretense of law, of course)
and they will skin you to a finish
