NOW FUEL FROM THE AIR
Western Writer Wakes Sarcastic Ov.
er Certain Enthusiastic Projects
in Contemplation.

Two or three times year, father,
who has trouble getting fuel for his
fiivver, becomes greatly excited over
the discovery of some new kind of
economic fuel that may be made out
of spring water or sawdust, but his
hopes are always dispelled. Nothing
further is heard about the swell fuel,
and he continues to fight for his gas
as usual. says the Seattle Post-Intel-
ligencer.
Just now he is greatly excited over
another cheap fuel story, and this
time right here at home where he can
watch it, Seattle man has been run
ming an engine on air, has installed 1t
on newly devised dirigible airship
and soon he expects to ascend from
his Youngstown airdome and remain
aloft for six days and six nights
without coming back to earth for fuel,
food or water. He starts his engine
with an electric battery, and begins
at once to generate power from the
air. After that he claims to be able
to generate power from air until his
engine wears out
The Seattle airship is fourteen feet
long and ten feet high, the upper half
being a gas chamber, and the lower
occupied by engine room and hunks.
There are two propellers. Five pas
sengers may be carried, and the thing
makes about % miles an hour when
pressed. Breakfast in Seattle, dinner
n New York. Some story, Ell? And
ather is greatly excited about it.
Now that we are making fuel out
# air we shall require to be more
areful with it. With general adop-
ion OF the air engine the great waste
eretOfOre apparent must be stopped.
.ook, for instance, at the prodlgal
taste that goes forward at political
onventions. Look at the windy nosts
apping up the oxygen, and giving
ack nothing but nitrogen An air.
nip propelled by an air engine would
eet a vacuum and have to come to
nth because of the lack of raw fuel
the atmosphere. .
The Youngstown inventor has our s.
ost optimistic friendship. We hope ii
: makes his engine go. If he can L
in out with it fuel for winter may be
occurred from the air: we may run
e Seattle municipal street cars on
r; and we may make our electricity
r light and power from it. We may
acticaly- live on air. That is what
select few have accomplished i'm
e past. and the habit should be
lde common.

Man and His Demands.

One great trouble with the world is
man has taken himself too seriously.
BY no possibility can he be an angel.
yet he is demanding that reward for
his poor services here on earth. He
is not entitled to prosperity and idle
ness at the same time; no arrange
ment can be made whereby this is pos
sibIe. Yet he demands it.
Man is an animal, living in a ma.
terial world and must cut his cloth
accordingly. To demand more than
he is entitled to is a waste of time;
he might make himself reasonably
and content with the time
he wastes in blubbering for the moon.

To DESTROY crasshopper Nests

The breeding ground of the grass
hoppers that annually spread over
Suffer and Yuba counties is believed
centered around the Suffer Buttes,
and farmers in Suffer county are
planning an aggressive campaign
against the pests next year. with the
idea of killing off the hoppers, before
they become strong enough to mi
CRATE. The grounds around the Buttes
are chiefly arid grazing lands. Ac-

yet Sperry had feeling that the fire
was not far away.
Running down the trail, he observed
that The density of the smoke was in
ereasing. Coming out on a little knoll.
he saw an opaque cloud Of smoke SET
tied on an adjacent shoulder of the
mountain Here and there it was shot
with flame.
His trained eye, however, saw that
the wind was taking It away from the
summit, and that it would probably |
burn itself out when. it reached the
edge OF the cliff. Returning. he re-
ported the fire to the warden.
Late thar afternoon Sperry sat
smoking an Old pipe. Suddenly he
heard rustic on the trail behind him.

THE CHURCH IN POLITICS.

1t is gratifying to hear at least one
minister espousing the cause of clean
politics. Rev. Theron Lee, minister of
the First Presbyterian Church, is in
sistent that his Pensioners use their
ballot, prayerfully and consistently.
There are some people with cases
of "ingrowing religion" who would
raise puny cry of protest against a
minister taking such stand and US
ing the pulpit for such an appeal. To
them we would say: There is diff
ference in bringing politics into the
church, and bringing the church into
politics"
The church is supposed to contain
people with an especial devotion to
justice and honesty and fair dealing.
Then let them devote themselves to
the needful task of purifying the poll
tics that govern their country.
1t is sheer idiocy to rant against
politics, and then do nothing to bet
ter conditions. The man who refuses
to vote and mix in politics because
its rotten" is no more consistent than
the stakeholder who refuses to have
anything to do with his bank or COM
pany because the management which
handles his money are thieves. We
demand intelligent and competent
men to handle our money in bank.
And we get them. We demand hon
orable men in the pulpit. And we gei
them. Likewise we must demand hon
orable and competent men in politics
And We'll get them!
There never was demand that did
not ultimately find a supply.
We congratulate Mr.. Lee for the
courage of his convictions. And we
congratulate the First. Presbyterian
Church for having such a man. 1t
is sincerely hoped Chat the personnel
of this church shall set pace in the
establishment of righteous politics.

THROWING STONES.

A man bought some printing from
us the other day. He grew wild about
the price. We tried to show him the
cost of the job, but he wouldn't list
en-. We tried to show him the catalog
list price of paper issued in June. We
tried to show him letter from the
manufacturer listing that same pap
er in September for $120 increase
per ream, plus ) per cent, f. o. b. in
Philadelphia.
But this man continued to be ram
pant and talked about being done.
He threatened all kinds of things, say
ing that whenever he got a chance to
throw a stone" he would do it.
We do not believe this man is a
representative citizen of Lambertville
for he is the only kind of that type
we have had the misfortune to meet.
And so we are not concerned about it
to any extent. We are confident that
every time he opens his mouth he will
be giving us free advertising This
shop will stake it's work and prices
any one and not fear the comparison.
The writer likes this town, and it
is gratifying that this has been the
only occasion where any one has en-
tered this office without exhibiting
at least comon business courtesy and
respect. But we are here to stay, and
we are confident that there are en-
ough of the right right kind of bust
ness men here to enable US to stay.

ON PERSONAL OPINION.

This paper cannot please everyone
and we are not so, egotistical as to
expect it. Nor do we think those are
idiots who do not agree with us. We
know that "a wise man often changes
his mind, but fool never does" We
have lived long enough to learn that
no man has a monopoly on wisdom.
We would feel that day lost that
should pass without teaching US some
thing. We are always ready to learn.
So if you disagree with us, and think
we have the wrong viewpoint, then
write US and say so frankly. If you
wish your opinions published, say so,
and they will be given the same pro-
minence as the article you may criti-
cize. You name will not be printed if
do not wish it.
But above all things, we intend this
shall be paper of the people. The
expressions and opinions that appear
in these columns are sincere beliefs
derived from careful study and OBJ
servation. If they are wrong we want
to know about it above all others. We
are not beholden to any one. We are
not bought. We speak only our con-
victions. Our personal and business
acquaintance represent ever walk of
life and every profession. Yet we do
not condemn them for not believing as
they do. Nor do they consider US i'd
lots because we do not hold the same
views as themselves. Sometimes we
are able to them something, some
times it is the other way.
We are as willing to be taught as
we are anxious to teach. Don't forget
that.
A mans creed in religion or politics
or business does not prevent him from
being sincere and of sterling quail
ties and ability. If he does his work
well, then we are for him-S TRONGi
If he does not, no matter what his
party or creed, nor how closely he is
associated with US, then we'll fight
him.

Their heated faces all aglow
Anticipate the cooling flow
The waters have in store.

And mock their simple joy.
The linotype in rumbling tones
Is belching type with strident

That mock each happy boy.
And when my nerves are jangling
Their dizziness lrkes me to the

And mocks me at my toll.
But in the inmost heart of me
Where something surges full and

NV nerves shall never spoil.
My spirit mingles with them

In sweet abandon, freed from

And shares their lusty play.
