MAKE MOTOR FUEL
FROM FARM WASTE
BELIEVED THAT FEDERAL IN
VESTIGATORS HAVE MADE
WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

This has no reference to alcohol,
but to a substitute for gasoline de-
rivable from straw and other farm
wastes by destructive distillation.
The department of agriculture is now
making experiments looking to the
development of simple and mex
pensive apparatus for the purpose,
which will render the farmer inde-
pendent Of the oil monopoly for all
time to come.
The apparatus in qquestion, COM
plete in itself-a farm unit, as the
exports call twill consist of re-
tort, "scrubber," and condenser
1t will cost only about $3.50, and viii
be so constructed as to be fool proof.
This implies that anybody can run it
and keep it in order. All that need
be supplied is heat and straw, or
other vegetable waste, and the ma
chine will do the rest.
AS yet the experiments have been
restricted to straw, but they will
presently be extended to include corn
stalks and leaves, cottonstalks, sugar
cane refuse and other materials.
The most important application of
the idea now in view is in the west,
where fuel is scarce and where the
straw discarded by threshing ma
chimes is customarily burned TO get
rid of it, there being no. accessible
market for this waste product so
enormous in total quantity. If by the
aid of simple mechanical apparatus
this straw can be made to yield a
fluid equivalent to gasoline it will
solve a great economic problem.
The process of destructive distil-
lation yields a gas, which in the con-
denser is converted into a fluid. 1t
may even be transformed into a
solid; and the experts think that pos
sibly it may be utilized to best ad-
vantage in this shape.
It has gone far enough, however,
SAYS the Kansas City Star, to con-
vince the investors of the practlca-
bility of the idea. They have even
run a motor car with straw gas con-
tanned in huge bag attached to the
car.
Beyond the first cost Of the outfit,
the farmer will be at no expense for
lis fluid fuel, in as much as the waste
# his farm will furnish it. He will
lse it to light and heat his dwelling,
@ keep the cook stove going, to op-
crate the mashing machine and sew
ng machine and to drive the grind
stone and feed cutter in the barn.
He will use it for his motor car
md also to drive the farm tractor.
indeed, with unlimited supplies of
practically cost free fuel the condi-
ions of life for his family will be to
great extent revolutionized.

BOOKS

THE ADVENTUROUS LADY. BY J. &.
snAith. New rorki ID. Appleton a Co
The latest story by the author OF
Tho Undefested' Is a brilliant ex-
ample OF the work a writer of the
first class can produce In his
lighter moods. For the "Adventur-
Gus Lady" is frankly written as
the story of a social comedy, a
story so improbable that Mr.. Snaith
uses identicsily the same plot as
does one of his characters. Sir Toby
Phiipot in a play which Sir Toby
puts on at house party.
The idea OF the story Is that the
daughter OF the Marquis OF Carab-
bias and Grille Cass. a nursery gov
erness. change clothes and identi-
ties on a train where they have
met, and each goes to the house
where the other was expected. The
idea suggested itself to Lady Ell
freda because II was the plot OF
the play in which she WAS to play
the leading role. and because she
did not in the least. care to meet
Lord Duckworth, the man selected
by her mother for her to marry.
Very cleverly does the author
handle that part Of the story In
which Lady Elfreda induces Grille
to consent to the impersonation,
and the later developments OF the
story, how Grille struggles and
suffers in her double attempt to
play the part OF the marQuis's

MOST BEAUTIFUL

The thought to be kept uppermost
In the married persons mind Is
not what am I to get out Of mar
ried life. but what may l put into
it, Marriage is a duty just the
same as Christianity. In fact. It is
a part OF Christianity. 1t cannot
be separated from Christianity. To
be a Christian you must sacrifice
certain worldly pleasures. To be
married you must likewise sacrifice
certain worldly pleasures. After
all, however, the sacrifice is not
without reward-a home. children,
your own blood.
There will always be people who
will ridicule marriage, but II is

By<Products and
the Price of Meat

The price live animals will bring
depends upon what the meat an,
by-products are worth. That Ii
turn depends on the number
animals offered for sale compared
with the quantity of meat and
by-products that consumers will
buy at current prices.
By-products have had an importar
effecrupon cattle, sheep and lamb pric.
this year.
Hides went down from 4s to "a cents,
cleo oil from 20 to l3h cents; the decline
in wool prices was even greater.
This made a difference in August
1920, compared with August 1919. of over
$1,000 per head in the value Of live cattle,
and nearly $500 per head in sheep and
lambs.
But we couldn't get more for the beef
because by-products were low. All we
could get was the market price. We also
did the best we could On the by-products.
Consequently cattle and lambs were
worth much less to US and had to be
bought at lower prices IF we were to
handle them at all.
No packer. of course. can remain in
business long If he pays more for live
animals than he can get for them In their.
final form-meat and by-products.
Swift & Company gets no particular
benefit from lower prices paid for live
animals. Our profit averages no higher,
when the price of beet. by-products or
cattle Is on lower plane.
