BENZM BEING USED q
= FOR new. MOTOR FUEL

+. Five thousand gallons of benzol,, q
jby-product of. coke used for motor
fuel, is now being daily extracted
and refined at. the Ford Motor Com
pany's blast furnace coke ovens near
Detroit, Mich. This fuel, which is
more highly combustible than gaso-
line, is now being sold at q public
station at the above named plant,
and has proven highly satisfactory.
This price at present is about the
same as that of gasoline.
While the Ford Motor company Is
not the first to discover or use this
fuel for motor cars, still the public
station is the first ever operated to
sell benzol exclusively for motor car
CONSUMPTION. This filing station
carries supply of $4,000 gallons OF
benzol on hand all the time. To date
some 900, 900 gallons have been sold
and used by car and truck drivers In
Detroit. Particularly during the re-
cent strike there was an exceptional
Nv large demand for this product. :,
.Benzol has not as yet reached the
highest stage of refinement, and pre-
sent results are best when it Is mix
ed in equal portions with gasoline.
But the Ford chemical laboratory
are doing a great deal Of experiment
ing and soon hope to be able to re-
fine it so it can be used alone and
under all conditions. OF course, Its
cheif effectiveness comes from Its
high conclusive power which is be-
tween twelve and fifteen per cent
| greater than gasoline. - - -. -
Ford officials state there is no pos
sibility of benzol ever displacin1

obtafnable only In limited quanttttel

y: 4 and Old Trees !, &.

Northome, June 2.-Some three
hundred stumps and old trees which
married the beauty and interfered
with the usefulness Of the Koochich'
Ing county fair grounds at Northome
were disposed Of with speed today by
the, crews Of dynamiters and stump.
pullers on the minnesota Land.
Clearing train. AS a result the lpeo.
pie of Northome are rejoicing and
saying nice things about the train
and its staff. .
The train, arrived at Northome
yesterday in pouring rain. Farm
ers had come from miles around
however, and the men from the train
unloaded their equipment and gave
such a demonstration as they could
in the rain for the benefit of about
one hundred farmers who are engag.
ed in pushing the stump and brush
lime back farther and farther toward
the Canadian border. But not sat-
listed with this. in the evening fol.
lowing the demonstration the lead
ers aboard the train consulted and
decided that as a supplementary dem
onstration they would this morning
clean&up the fair grounds, at which
the fair board had been working fol
several years not without some dis
coura cement. =
The job was one for the dynamit'
ers. Consequently 1t was placed In
the hands Of A. w. Wilson of the
Hercules Powder Co., and G. G. Means
of the Du Pont Powder Co. These
two men organized all of the forces
of the train, and early this morning
set to work, They loaded whole
groups of stumps, made ready time
fuses, and then began firing. A Wis
itor in town would have thought 8
bonn bardment was under way. Tt
an eyewitness the popping of the
stumps suggested great corn pepper
in which huge black grains were be-
ing lifted and split open.
The work went forward rapidly
and by II a IN. the stumps were al
out of the ground-more than SOC
of them-and along with them sever
al dead trees.
A cleveland tractor, unuer the III
rection of John D. Rose did astonish
ing service accounting for something
like 100 stumps. @,f'|s,*
The people of the community
ioinel in; the. work Men; with team!
began +piling the stumps as soon a,
each blast was fred. The result wa!
that by noon; when the train pulled
out for it's next stop at Little Forl
Thursday, the stumps were all piled
ready for the, burning. .s.,?

Increase in Buyers
Cheers Manufacturers
Most of Purchases Are for I'm
mediate Delivery; Little
Spring Business

Local manufacturers and wholesalers
OF commodities sold through depart
ment and other retail stores generally
are somewhat heartened by a larger
number of buyers than have visited the
market for months. This week saw a
large influx of buyers, many Of whom
frankly say that they came here to
seek special bargains in merchandise.
and are succeeding admirably. Others
say that they are here only to size up
the general situation and will not be
IN q position to place large orders until
after the first of the year. with holi-
day business and annual inventories
out of the way
The bulk Of the buying at present is
confined to distressed goods aud to
special sales, such as the Eiseman sill.
sale and the Smith carpet auctions.
The buyers are not ready to operate for
spring and, except in a few cases, are
buying goods from made up stocks for
delivery in the next two months. On
the whole present wholesale buvinq
is not looked upon as stimulant to
iurthcr production, and many plans for
spring operations are being held in
allegiance.
Some effort is being made to 90
after spring business in underwear
ana shlfts, and it is probable that the
Women's garment industry will begin
showing spring models before the end OF
the month. Initial showings of mems
clothing for spring are expected to he
delayed until close to the first of the
wear va
