Coal Substitute Used By
Omaha Man in Fuel Crisis
Simple Formula Can Be Quickly and Economically
Made for Immediate Use-Inventor Volunteers
Services to Help Citizens, Without Coal, Make
Initial Mixture.

George ID. Wolfe, OF Wolfe-Farrer
Co., manufacturing chemists, AL
South Sixteenth street. who several
days ago demonstrated coal sub
stitute for J. NJ. Gillian, industrial
commissioner of the Chamber of
Commerce, has offered his services
free of charge to any one who de-
sires to prepare trial quantity OF
his new fuel. Mr.. Wolfe declares
he will furnish the formula and as
sist in preparing the fuel for any
one who is unable to obtain coal
and who may desire to try out the
! fuel.
The chemist contends it is simply
made and can be prepared in small
quantities for 20 cents a 100 pounds.
Cap Be Made Rapidly.
The formula follows: Fifty
pounds of ashes and so pounds of
sawdust. Make solution consist
ing of one pound of salt, three
ounces of oxylic acid, one gallon of
water and spray over the sawdust
and ashes. Then add to this half
gallon OF crude oil.
The connection is ready for use
after it is mixed we'll, Mr.. Wolfe
declares. He has asked the Cham
Der of Commerce to assist in fur
nishing him facilities for pressing
the mixture into bricks or square
chunks. This, the chemist asserts,
will consist of simple operation
and cost little or no money. The
fuel can be pressed into bricks, it is
commended, with an old fashioned
letter press and can be moulded in
most any kind of container. The
chemist declares the fuel can De
made by a child in any home in
Omaha by as simple an operation
as splitting kindling wood with a
Ratchet.
Has Another Formula.
Mr. Wolfe asserts if the sawdust
cannot be obtained, he will be glad
70 furnish another formula, which he
says is just as simple and cheap, in
which the body of the stuff consists
entirely of ashes.

CONDITION OF LIVE STOCK
 AND RANGES IN ARIZONA

Killing frosts on the mornings of the 18th and 17th in the north-central counties stopped further growth of vegetation in that section, but the greater part of it had already ma tured and seeded the ground.
 According to mail and telegraphic reports, live stock of all kinds con tinues in excellent condition. A we'll known authority says, 'It is believed that the abundant rainfall will do more to put Arizona ranges into bet ter condition than for the past five years. Fencing and protection in years like the present will mean many times more than fencing and protec- tion in seasons of light rainfall. There have been plenty of range plants this year. Plants have rooted more deeply and got ahead of the live stock"
 Stockmen realize that there is now plenty of time to protect by fencing the excellent stand of grass establish ed this season, and even if the ma tured grass should be closely grazed this winter little harm will result.

CROP PROGRESS IN ARIZONA

Grape fruit is now coming into the local markets from orchards in the Salt River and Yuma valleys, but none has been packed or shipped. The fruit is of good size and excellent flavor.
 Cotton picking is progressing under favorable weather conditions, but a shortage of pickers is proving a very serious handicap to growers.
 Recent fair weather has favored the ripening of dates, but the early crop was considerably damaged by Sep tember rains. The demand for home grown dates has increased of late, but experienced buyers insist that the fruit be properly ripened.
 Harvesting of upstate potatoes continues under favorable conditions, and shipment in carload lots is now in progress.
