Water Sells Well!

They must have felt" like crawling
into hole and pulling the hole in
after them. The Mankato Free Press
tells the story:
There is now weeping and gnash-
ing of teeth on the quiet among GER
tain lovers of booze in this city at
present, due to being duped into think
ing that they purchased barrel -of
whiskey, but later proved to only have
about one gallon of the liquid that
cheer, beneath false bottom in barrel
The remainder of barrel, as the story
goes, contained pure spring water. Ac-
cording to the story that is cavorting
about the streets, two men claiming
to come from the Twin Cities pitched
tent a short distance north of the
city and later quietly invited some of
the sports" down to take nip" Two
quarts of booze were in evidence, part
of which was dealt out
Later the barrel was tapped and the
visitors were each given drink that
had the right tickle" and a kick that
was satisfactory to the connoisseurs
ofsegood liquor 1t was finally ar
ranged that the local parties could
have the entire barrel of whiskey for
$500. After the whiskey was paid
for, it is alleged that the barrel was
spirited into town, and the men who
had sold it, made themselves scarce
'spronto." After drawing off about a
gallon, it is understood that the barrel
suddenly became as dry as a prohi-
bition convention It was then that it
was discovered that the barrel had a
false bottom. The purchasers said
things that made the air blue, so it
was stated. They did not have enough
"red ticker" left to drown their sor-
row.-New Ulnl Journal.

AMERICAS FRUIT,
THE A PPL e

Americans are coming to treat APP
Piles more as food and less as a be-
tween meals superfluity than they
used to- do, yet when the north wind
blows and the fireside gloWs they
can't refrain from paying especial at
tention TO- the question iWhetha. there
is plenty Of them. This year, the
farm reports tells US, there is not.
There are, in the whole country,
1901 900 barrels fewer than there
were in 1918, and almost the same
shortage from the crop of 1916, though
we are considerably better off than we
were int1917.N That is, we have a.
100000 barrels this year. That S
about one for each family IN tie cum
try, and each family, no. each member
thereof, might, if they were evenly
distributed, have one apple lay. The
true lover of apples will never admit
this to be sufficient, aud he shoult
not.Eu#
It is not especially cheering to learn
that the country's crop of apples does
not tend to increase. Our record was
in 1912, but we had almost as many in
1896, and the crop in 1895 was greater
than that in either of the past four
years. But the apple is Americas
fruit, the most satisfactory, the most
the most healthful fruit
in the world. Hartford Times.

The Creation Of Leisure

Samuel sCrowther in the Worlds
Work. The point is that leisure sue,
ceeds, and does not precede work, that
if you plan day with four hours of
work and four hours of poetry writ
ing you are perfectly justified provid-
ed that YOU find more nourishment in
poetry than in heefsteak. The hours
of labor are determined by an adjust
ment between what we want and what
we are willing to work for, and the
hope of leisure can spring only out of
confidence in the ability of collective
brains to provide facilities by which a
man may do more with less effort.
The only way to provide these facili-
ties is by increasing the margin of
production over consumption, for it IS
that margin which provides that CAPT.
tai for increased facilities.

New Oil King Appears.

A new Rockefeller, a daring and
aggressive man in Holland, went to
Java some years ago and obtained en-
ployment in a. bank. In 1890 he be-
came assistant to the manager of the
Royal Dutch company, and in 1896 was
put in charge.
This mans name is Deterding.
Those who know him say he is Napo-
leonic in his tactics and strategy. He
must be a wonder, for within four
years after taking charge of the Roy
al Dutch company he managed to- eff
feet merger of the Royal Dutch and
the Shell companies by which the two
combined their assets and turned
themselves over to the Bataafsche
company and the Anglo Saxon Petro-
leum company.
Deterding fought the Standard Oil
to standstill in China, and won a
market for his products in that coun-
try.
Deterding heads the oil combines of
Europe and promises to be one of the
most powerful figures in the world in
oil production and distribution.

Riches from the Air.

A century ago, teacher of mathe-
MATES in Leipsic, found that if he
electrified wire hung in bottle
filled with smoke, the smoke rapidly
cleared and left deposit on the sides
and bottom of the bottle.
At this moment in Montana, the
bottle has become chimney 585, and
sc feet in diameter. The wire has be-
come III miles of electrified chains.
The smoke has become the dust and
fumes of a great copper reduction
plant. When the plates are deeply
coated, the electricity is turned off
and the accumulated particles fall in
to hoppers.
Frederick G. Cottrell, now head of
the United States bureau of mines,
has the distinction of practicalizing
and applying the discovery.
Experts say that the only sources of
a cheap and permanent supply of AM
erican potash seems to be the cement
kilns and iron furnaces, from the dust
of which by the Cottrell process of
filtration, large quantities may be
procured. 1t is said that one cement
company alone is receiving potash to
the value of $4,000 weekly.

COUNTRY'S
COAL RESERVE

S.. M. Darling of the United States
bureau of mines estimates that the
supply of minable coal in the United
States is 1858, 637, 100000 tons, or
enough to last for 1000 years at the
present rate of consumptions.
Even cutting off the odd hundred
thousand tons, concerning which the
estimator may have been mistaken,
there seems to be no cause for worry
about fuel exhaustion. Nor does there
seem to be any good reason why the
country shouldn't risk getting, a full
years supply out of the mines and
distributed near the centers of con-
sumption, as a reserve against rail-
road tie-ups, without fearing that the
sight of the coal piles would tend to
extravaganza in it's use.
