Genesee News: A warning is
sounded at this time to those men
who have run short of fuel and have
been saving and splitting wood.
Just last week Cuvler Ehlen early
severed his left hand and only a

his legs while splitting wood.

only point of difference between
killing oneself drinking wood al
cohol and drinking the other kind,
is that the former gets quicker

hibits. The only compromise that
ne would favor, If any, would be to
take all who believe they cannot
get along without booze, put them
together in one community and fur
nish them all they want. If any
prefer wood alcohol, let them have
it. Such community would be a
picnic for undertakers, while it
lasted
