GAS FOR FARMS FROM
STRAW IS HOPE OF GOVT
U. S. Chemists Working on PIsn to
Utilize Tons Of Waste Products

Washington, June 22.-Gas for heat,
light and power on every grain-belt
farm, from the farms own sources
of supply, is an early possibility.
Every farm that has waste straw,
corn stalks or even weeds may be-
come Independent of the oil barons.
The Bureau Of Chemistry has pro-
duced satisfactory gas or motor
fuel from wheat straw, at its exper-
mental grounds, at Arlington, Va,
and is now working on other field
refuse. such as straw from oats, rye,
and other grains, also dry weeds and
cornstalks.
A ton of wheat straw will make
enough gas to equal, in heat or power
units. 40 gallons of gasoline. 1t pos
sesses combustible elements very SIM
liar to coal gas, and has blue fame.
The development of gas for the
unit farm rather than commercial
manufacturer is the aim. The De
partment of Agriculture hopes to
find a way for each farm to utilize
the kind of straw and wastes that
predominant in the place.
The farmer will be able, if Uncle
Sam succeeds, to convert his waste
straw into gas and store it for future
use.
At lease 100000 tons of straw
are burned or wasted annually in the
United States.

A Little Late Attention

To be charivaried and given ride
in a cart to which donkey was
hitched some six months after they
were married was the unique expert
ence of one of our most popular
young couples. The contracting par
ties were Mr.. Joseph Arnott, second
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Arnott, and
Miss Fern Handley, popular teacher
in our school for the past two years.
They were married on December 80,
1919, and although their many friends
here suspected as much no one was
sure until they arrived in C. B. Mon
day.
Joe had neat little cottage on the
C. F. & I. hill ready for immediate
occupancy and a number of his
friends (about 50) decided to escort
them to their new home.
A burro cart was secured and both
bride and groom were landed safely
on their own door step.
Joe then decided to pass tho cigars.

wishing them long and happy mar

Reimposition OF the tax on excess
lrofits has aroused the loudest pro-
test. There are those who declare it
hampers trade and others who claim
1t does no good because everybody lies
about 1t anyway.
The official labor paper here de-
clared the budget hits the rich, and
a daily paper owned by a wealthy
shipowner loudly protested that it
hits the poor.
Most Of the other papers try to con-
ceal their own ignorance by making
humorous comments on somebody
else's opinions.
Probabilities are that if the budget
does nothing else 1t will precipitate a
few more strikes.
One strike doesn't even stir the
apathy of London crowds any more.

Some of the strikes don't even get
any publicity. There are so many of
